Hail the Deathless Theoi

I'm Melina. I've practiced witchcraft since 2020 and dabbled in neopaganism with the Greek gods. Over the last year or so, I've transitioned into Hellenic Polytheism. In my 30's!

If you like podcasts, I have one called Underworld Podcast where I talk about witchcraft and helpol. It's pretty early days for the podcast, but I've loved creating it so far. If you'd like to hear about a topic, please let me know.

The gods I'm closest to right now are Hekate, Apollo, Athena, Hermes, Aphrodite, and Hypnos.

I love to read, write, and create things from clay. I'd love to learn how to draw. I'm on the spectrum somewhere, and my special interests are helpol, anything art related, and specific time periods in history. I'm also a huge nerd and love gaming, anime, and otomes.

I love connecting with people who have similar interests! It's hard to find people in my area interested in the same things, so I'm definitely looking to be part of a community online.

A constant in my life

never leading me astray.

The warmth of his light

upon my skin plays.

His golden light beckons

me further down the Way

There were a couple interesting events that happened the day my group went to see The Odyssey in theaters. The movie theater was packed, and we were at a showing for the 70mm IMAX version.

About 30 minutes in, lighting caused a power surge that shut down the whole theater. They cancelled the showing. I told my people we should pray to Zeus (half joking, half serious) to get the movie back up and running. We actually did!

As we waited in line to get a refund, the staff was able to get the system back up and running! The people who stayed and went back to watch the movie were all grateful.

The movie was incredible!! I loved it. When we left the theater, we saw this rainbow.

I felt really close to the gods that day. I loved seeing so many people enjoying The Odyssey. It really hit home how powerful the gods are and the movie showed how important it is to respect them.
