I have been quiet with much of my writing because of having to deal with the implications of living with the Covid-19 coronavirus, my college classes going from in-person to online, and my daughter’s school also going online. In the process, I still maintained my daily devotions to the Theoi. However, when the United States…
I have said before that the Theoi call who THEY want to call, and I still hold that belief. Sometimes that is difficult, however, when it is ME that a divinity calls and I have LITTLE TO NO IDEA on how to properly honor that divinity. Part of my history includes having lived in New…
http://timetolisten.blogspot.com/2013/03/tone-it-down-taupe-this-april.html?m=1 The Theoi have blessed several people I love with Autism. The above is something I found that’s a wonderful idea for raising awareness and acceptance
The virtue of Philoxenia (literally “love of the stranger”) is one that has been enshrined as a part of Hellenic culture since the Classical Era. It is one of the reasons why I as an individual felt compelled to sign onto the The Xenia Declaration and blog about it https://greekrevivalistmommy.com/2019/11/07/xenia-declaration/. I had HOPED that Hellenion would have signed…
About 14 years ago, I commented in a thread that Xenia — and more importantly Philoxenia — was DEMANDED in Hellenismos. I was challenged on what my source was (I was actually basing it on how even MODERN Greek culture remembered Xenia, but that is not how I ended up defending my stance). How I ended up…
Modern Hymn to Hekate Hail to you Hekate Trivia, Guardian of the crossroads, Keeper of the keys of the cosmos. You watch over the dispossessed, the homeless, the marginalized. Your portion at the dark of the moon falls as a gift to those in need. Let your torches light our way as we work to…
I am making this as a personal statement and NOT as a representative of Hellenion — who I am also a member of — and I want to make this very clear because at this point, I am a former member of Hellenion’s Boule. Over the past year, I have been watching with increasing horror…
Thankfully, the folkish elements in Hellenic Polytheism are not as prominent or prolific writers as the ones found in the Nordic community. However, there remains the idea that you “should not” worship gods that are not from the ethnic heritage you are descended from. To put it as politely as I can, that’s BULLSHIT. I’ve said…
Over the past few months, not only have I been attending school at the local community college, but I have come to understand that I am most likely someone who is an (professionally undiagnosed/self-diagnosed) autistic woman. Yes, there are people who do not accept self-diagnosis for autism, but having researched it in regards to my…
As people know I honor all of the Olympian Theoi, including Ares. I know it might sound odd to people when they consider that my primary devotion is to Hestia, Demeter, and Hera. However, today in the United States is Memorial Day — a day which is traditionally celebrated on the last Monday in May.…
