I don't know who needs to hear this but it's ok if you can't hear your deities talking, whether physically or mentally
It's ok if you don't dream with them
It's ok if you can't feel their presence
It's ok, darling!
They still love you. They love you very dearly, just as much as you love them!
summer eternal i am about to develop a relationship with you that is so parasocial
Digital Offering to Lord Hades and Lord Thanatos
Today a very dear uncle of mine passed away and I thought of doing this, a kind of offering to Thanatos to thank him that my uncle is no longer suffering.
I am very nervous and scared because I am going to enter a contest and I am afraid of losing in a humiliating way and that everything I did was for nothing. I want to pray to Hermes to help me or at least make me feel better but I don't have a altar nor a place to pray in my house since my entire family is Catholic and they don't know that I am a Hellenic Polytheism 😭
Goddess of the hearth, home, family, and the eternal flame.

Save your money, if able; work on spending it wisely
Practice patience, understanding, and gratitude
Be a good host to all who enter your space; Haides is the ultimate host, the Ruler of All

Learn to find simple joys in life; make a list of things that bring you joy in your day to day
Meditate in nature; ground yourself often; practice mindfulness
Visit/explore caves (please do so safely!!!)
Visit ancient ruins, ghost towns, and any place where people used to be but are no longer
