This is a post that is difficult for me… I understand that some people feel for faith-based reasons that abortion is a form of murder…. I don’t agree, but I cannot force people to change those beliefs simply because I KNOW from personal experience the true cost to women of safe, legal abortion is not…
I saw this and was moved to ask the original poster (and writer) if he would allow me to share it here. It is for Apollon as patron of Trans youth…. I would venture to add his twin as well for young trans-women. Apollon, Protector of Young Transgender Men
There are multiple kinds of literacy. There is the type of literacy where a person is able to read and write just well enough to function in society. Most people manage to attain this, but don’t try to go any further. Another kind of literacy takes things somewhat farther. It is literacy that is founded…
In life, as well as in faith, we sometimes come across conflicting responsibilities. Today was one such day for me. Hestia is not only a Goddess that is at the center of the household and family, but also a Goddess that is at the center of community. When Hestia and her fellow Khronides accepted me…

As a survivor of Hurricane Katrina, I can understand this completely. Poseidon is not always the kindest of the Theoi. (That…
At the very beginning of this, I want to emphasize that this take is MINE and not related to that of any Hellenic Polytheist organization that I am part of — because I will not have it said that I spoke for them even if what they would say would closely resemble what I have…
Today’s topic would be what social topics would potentially be relevant to Poseidon. This topic is an easy one in that the health of the oceans, ocean life, and climate change are ALL relevant to Poseidon. Things like the commercial over-fishing that is decimating ocean life and driving species to extinction are things that Poseidon…
When approached with someone wanting to spread gossip in one of Plato’s dialogs, Socrates is supposed to have asked the following 3 questions: “Is it true; is it kind, is it necessary?” This has taken a much sharper focus for me in the current United States than perhaps it had before. This is much to my…
