I Was Doing Tons Of Research About Hermes And Then I Heard Him Say "i Want You As My Priestess" I Thought

I was doing tons of research about Hermes and then i heard him say "i want you as my priestess" i thought i was being delusional so I didn't take it seriously

Though one time he asked me to message someone on tumblr. Apparently what i said was on point so in a way that wasmy confirmation that he wanted to work with me. I just don't know where to start

Ohhh i see!!!

Well, the first thing I would do is research! I'm gonna assume you have enough knowledge about hellenism so i would advise you to take a few days and research: his worship, offerings, associations, history, and even people's UPG on him!

But don't procrastinate! When you feel like enough research is enough, actually introduce yourself to Hermes and communicate with him!

Ask him his boundaries, your boundaries, what he can teach you, what you can give him, etc...

Hope i helped a little bit!!! 🙂🙂🙂

Thank you for the ask!!

People are gonna remember me as "that one Tumblr blog that defends Zeus like her life depends on it" but okay, Lol i have to say this:

I agree with OP! Absolutely !!

And if you don't agree, here is a list of greek deities that you can't defend according to the logic of myth literalism:

Hera, Artemis, Aphrodite, Eos, Hades, Demeter, Pan, Hermes, Athena, and much more! These are the ones i have on top of my head lol!

(no hate to these deities, i love them with all my heart just as much as i love Zeus and all the other gods, but full hate to hypocrites who say "Zeus apologists this, Zeus is that!")

Thank you for hearing me out. I will not be talking about greek polytheism anymore in this discourse-ish sense. I am a slavic pagan now after all Lol!

this is your reminder that ONLY being a myth literalist when it comes to Zeus is hypocritical and not okay.✌🏻

I expanded my altar! 🌟

So my altar used to just be the space on picture two! But i realized how cluttered it became and I didn't even have space for my rituals... :(

So i took the matter into my hands and expanded the altar onto the nearby table and also expanded Lord Clauneck's altar!

Did i do good? Let me know!

Hi guys! I made my first Youtube video! It's on DIVINATION WITH MANGA!

I would REEEEALLLY appreciate it if you all could watch it or drop a like or comment! :)

Prayer to Dazhbog for the Summer Solstice

Glory to Dazhbog, the one who gives, the son of Svarog.

Hey there,

A not so easy and not so quick question: how do you identify the "main" (please keep in mind it is used loosely here) deity you work with?

I found myself in a bit of an eclectic setting where I reach to different gods from different pantheons. And as much as I see them as equally important, becuase they are corresponding to different aspects, I can't tell which one is the biggest part of that. I know it is not a race and some aspects intertwine between them, it just feels a bit all over the place and confusing at times.

A bonus point for any tips on a small, mostly hidden altar. (Hidden for safety of the things on it and because of the space becoming more limited)

Hello there!

Hm... That's a great question!

First I'm gonna just say that you don't really need a "main" deity. But if you wish to have one, i would say that it's best to reach out to deities you feel drawn to, and just give it time. I wouldn't say you can simply find a main deity right after starting to work with them. Building the relationship between you and your deities takes time, and you will most likely find a deity that you prioritize in your work the most, as time goes on. Put in your energy and love for them, and they will do the same to you.

But another way you can try and identify a "main" deity is to find your patron deity. Looking at it objectively, there are similarities... But the definition of a patron deity varies across different cultures and religions. As well as from one practitioner to another. Perhaps you see Apollo as your patron because you are a musician, or a nurse? Or do you see Athena as your patron because you like weaving? Or Ares because you are a soldier? Or Aphrodite because you like beauty and self care?

But personally, i think that in order to find a "main" deity, you have to not only look into their aspects, but also your connection and love for them. As themselves.

For example, right now, i would say that Mokosh and Perun are my main deities, and i am looking to work with Dajbog. They are my main deities because i connected to them the most, and i pray to them the most, offer them the most things.

As for the altar thingy! I would say you can simply put up some more subtle offerings, like... Don't put tarot cards, crystals , statues and stuff. Those are obvious. Put something that is subtle in a plain sight and is meaningful to you and your deity. Altars don't have to be hidden, they can be on shelves, but they need to be subtle.

I hope i answered your questions well and satisfactorily! 🥴🙂🩷
