Helpol moodboards, mostly.

┈┈・ ✦ ・┈┈

I mainly worship Ares, Athena, Hermes, Apollon, Hekate, Selene, Eurus, Tyche, Hestia, and Aphrodite, though I have set up small spaces for various other greek deities as well, such as Demeter, Zeus, Hades, Poseidon, Dionysus, and Kirke.

As of this post, I have been a helpol for about 3 years! :)

Key tags (some posts may be missing tags that they should have, given the below description. This is because I forget things.)

Hound Speaks

- any posts with actual text in them other than the usual moodboard descriptors, like responding to questions. Sometimes included if I'm yapping in the tags.

Hellenic Polytheism, HelPol, Hellenic Deities, etc

- any posts mentioning deities or my practice, including text posts.

*deity name* ex: Persephone

- any posts referencing the deity, most commonly moodboards but could include a post if I'm answering questions about them in some way.

What if I don't know if you're okay with answering my question?

Ask anyway! Worst come to worst I will simply delete your ask. No harm done.

Do you use AI?

no.

Can I request a moodboard of a greek deity?

Absolutely! I'd prefer if you included some kind of epithet, but it isnt a requirement. :)

Can I request a moodboard of a deity that isnt greek?

no.

Can I request a moodboard of a nymph/hero/royal/other from greek mythology?

yea, If theyre featured in at least one greek myth, it's likely i'll do a moodboard for them. I may decline if theres not much info on them, or if i just don't feel comfortable with the request. I will do moodbaords for anyone if it's a joint moodboard with a deity, though. (ex: Athena + Odysseus, Apollo + Hyancinthus, etc.)

Can I ask you about recommendations or info about Hellenic Polytheism?

It depends. I won't answer broad questions like "who is ___" or "what does ___ mean". Stuff you can search up on a dime. I will answer questions like "where did you find ___" or "do you know any deities associated with ___" or "do any other deities share the ___ epithet?" Stuff that might take a bit more time to answer.

Can I ask you about your practice?

yes, though I may not answer if it happens to be something I don't want to share. :)

Can I ask you about controversies or your stance on certain topics?

no.

Can I ask you about topics unrelated to Hellenic Polytheism?

no.

Will you ever create a masterpost for your moodboards, answers to asks, etc?

probably not. It's just not feasible. I've made so many lol.

I make this post to commemorate this time in my life, and reflect on my journey. I am a much better person now than I was before, but I still have lots to learn. I am incredibly thankful to the gods for being ever-patient with me as I seem to stumble through life, being by my side even as I struggle to worship them consistently. I pray they know my love for them runs deep, even when I cannot show it.

Mainly, I think of Athena. My mother, my guide, and the first deity I began to worship. Partially, I hope she is proud of the knowledge I've gained and how I've incorporated it into my practice. Mostly, though, I know she is proud that I have come even this far.

Lastly, I want to thank you. As small as my corner of the internet is, it's still a community, and those who interact with my page and send me moodboard ideas have given me something I cannot ever forget: the knowledge that I am not alone.

Happy three years, me! May I forever harbour this sense of peace within me.
