#hellenic polyheism

O you who shine, pearl on the sea and calm the ardor of the wild beasts,

O Kypris, very beautiful, with the golden belt, hear our songs! the heart lost in the darkness sometimes hatred consumes us and far from the dances that you love, let's ignore the radiance of your grace

This is why I implore you, o sublime queen: be favorable to these words.

Animate in us the pure waves of your caress, and may the temples rise for you, may the rose petals dance on your blue waves.

Yo so I just got shit in a Hellenic PAGAN group because I suggested that some people like to have one cup for gods and the other for goddesses. If you talk to someone like their an idiot and then ignoring that there’s other view points of Hellenism and Wicca and some people COMBINE THE TWO. YOU CAN LEAVE AND STOP GATEKEEPING YOU CAN BE A HELLENIC POLYTHEIST AND CELEBRATE THE WHEEL OF THE YEAR YOU CAN HAVE TWO OR MORE UPS WHATEVER MAKES YOU COMFORTABLE. I’m sorry but in my PERSONAL view it’s not how you practice it’s that you practice no I’m not saying at all to take from a closed religion. Thanks for my psa don’t be a dick bye

Δεκάτη Ὑστέρα- Δεκάτη Φθίνοντος/ Μετεικὰς- Ἀμφιδεκάτη, XXI day

Twenty-first day of Gamelion.

The twenty-first & the twenty-second days are always sacred to Athena.

Athena by Dimitrios Biskinis (greek) 1891-1947

Something intrigues me... in certain hymns and writings concerning the gods, they are compared or even identified with other gods: Apollo is called Pan with the two horns , Aphrodite is named Hades... It's more disturbing in terms of porosity than a ''simple'' Hecate-Selene association for example!

Is it a question of magnifying a power which would otherwise be relative (to other gods), of making it ever more total?

Interesting !

"Hear my prayer, most excellent Daimon of a thousand names, adorned with beautiful hair, who loves solitude, celebrated with most desirable songs, universal food, virgin and young man, Adonis always flourishing, who died and who resplendent with new at the return of the beautiful seasons, always young, with two horns, desirable and cried for, handsome, who loves the hunt, who has abundant hair, dear to the heart of Kypris, sweet flower, germ of love, born in the bed of Lovely-haired Persephone, you who now dwell in Tartaran darkness, return again to Olympos and ripen the fruits! Come, O Blessed One, and bring the fruits of the earth to those who initiate into your mysteries."

Orphic hymn
