About me

Hello there!

I'm Alex (he / they), I'm an aroace transmasc Egyptian (not the best combo). I'm 17 yrs old and I've got adhd and dyslexia so bear with me.

➶ This blog is supposed to be my safe space and some kind of personal archive where I just put stuff that resonate with me and yell stuff into the void of the internet.

➶ I've always loved Greek mythology but never started getting really invested in yet till lately, so I lack a lot of knowledge but I'm seeking to know more.

➶ This blog is mainly dedicated to my journey of trying to find faith in Hellenic polytheism.

Worship

➶ I am extremely new to Hellenic polytheism (5 months now!) I have a complicated relationship with religions and to be honest I have no idea where I am or what I believe in. This blog is an attempt to figure it out.

➶ This will also be a devotional altar to the deities I worship. Prayers, digital offerings, mood boards and such.

➶ I just started out with Lady Athena and have an altar for her, and I'm trying to connect with Lord Hermes more.

➶ I want to start worshiping : ☤ Lord Hermes (started) ⚔ Lord Ares 𓏢 Lord Apollo ➳ Lady Artemis ☠︎︎ Lord Hades but once I'm ready and slowly.

➶ This blog an opportunity for me to do a lot more research, educate myself, and ask for guidance and help from other Helpols and anyone who's willing to talk or help.

Extra

➶ Anyone is welcome as long as they're respectful and kind.

➶ All kinds of advice are appreciated, give your thoughts, constructive criticism, asks, dms, rants, yap with me, be silly.

➶ DNI : homophobes, transphobes, TERFs, nazis, fascists, racists, sexists, right-wing conservatives, gatekeepers, people who think they're better than everyone else, etc. You get the gist.

Thats it folks, peace out! ༗

In those five months I made an altar, started praying whenever I could and got quite close to some of the gods.

Hellenic polytheism made the most mundane things seem beautiful to me. Cleaning and cooking is much more fun when I dedicate it to Hestia, saying hello to Helios and smiling at the sun, and getting blinded every morning by Apollo (thanks alot), reading and talking to Athena and just always feeling better after and rushing at the metro praying to Hermes to get home fast.

The last five months since I started were some of the best time I've had. I passed my exams, made alot of new friends, started getting more comfortable in my identity and I was the happiest I think I've ever been.

Hermes digital offfering!!

I've been trying to get closer to him lately and include him in my practice he is one of the gods I feel like is always there and helping me.

I'm someone who doesn't like to talk about struggles or problems alot but talking to the gods always helps cause I know Lady Athena is out there hearing my rants good or bad and I can feel her around me, comforting me and keeping me grounded any time I cry while talking it's like I can talk about anything without fear of judgment

I need helpol friends I'm open to literally anyone lmao I just want to talk and share my thoughts with someone whether about helpol or even other interests

this all to say f r i e n d s, please.

Lord Hermes probably : kid calm down I'm doing it already

I devoted some self care time to Lady Aphrodite which is my first act of worship to her. and to say I felt truly amazing would be an understatement. I was truly relaxed and it was the most beautiful I felt in a while.

I don't actively worship anyone aside from Athena right now but I still worship every god I pray and devote things to them when I can.

i have been listening to hymns to the gods, right now I'm admiring the midnight sky and appreciating Lady Selene and Artemis. I love these small acts of worship just basking in the nature of the gods :)

Just set up my official altar for Lady Athena :)

I put some new offerings and prayed. (hey the flower may be dying but it was already on my nightstand and I'm gonna get a new one tomorrow and maybe even an actual vase lol)

my family isn't home and it has been the first time since I started worshipping where I felt completely at ease and safe to just pray. how I wish it was like this all the time sadly it isn't and I will have to remove the liberations cup for when they come back, but I will savor this small bit of freedom that I got for the time being truly, thank the gods for that.

I'm gonna take a shower and some self care time as a devotional act to Lady Aphrodite and then watch a documentary about war for Lord Ares. I'm really trying to do as much as I can in this day because I won't get another opportunity like this in some time lol.

the gods truly make me happy and I continue to thank them even the ones I don't actively worship (which is everyone aside Athena. it's really all I can do right now 😭)

Praise the Gods and thank them for all their blessings I'm so grateful for them!

O wise goddess,

Lady Athene,

daughter of mighty Zeus and intelligent Metis.

protector of Athens,

and patron of heroes.

you who bless us with wisdom and knowledge.

you who stands by your worshippers.

you who masculine and feminine in combines.

you who was born fully grow and armored,

ready to defend justice and truth.

I thank you for your blessings and guidance.

O bright-eyed goddess,

savior of cities, counselor, warlike, pure virgin, courageous,

Pallas Athene,

I praise you.
