Athena Worship - Blog Posts

Did you have traits of your deities as a kid?

Recently I realized I had traits of the deities I ended up worshipping and thought it was interesting.

Athena: I have always been a curious child seeking wisdom. Instead of telling me bedtime stories, my dad would ask me, "What do you want to know about?" and he would put on a YouTube video about the topic.

I also used to follow those shitty "did you know…?" Ig accounts; I just wanted to know more no matter the topic.

For her goddess of crafts aspect, that's the one I most strongly connect with.

I LOVE crafting. Ever since I was a kid, I literally craft something new every day, and if not, I'm thinking/looking for what to craft next.

Artemis: I was obsessed with the movie "Brave" as a kid; I wanted to be a hunter and live in the forest so badly.

I had a bunch of toy bows and arrows that I would play with all day, so basically I wanted to be like Artemis.

I know I would have gone crazy if I knew about her at that age, lol. (And I did go "Wait, that's literally me" when I learned about her.)

Selene: My name is literally Moon (Luna). I have always been obsessed with the moon since I was young.

One time I was looking at her, and my parents called out to me, but I was in some kind of trance just looking at her.

My dad had to touch me so I would stop staring at her.

Although I don't worship him (but I'm thinking about it), it just reminded him so badly of him I had to include it.

Hermes: My friend Group was "enemies" with another girl, I would serve as the messenger between us.

Sometimes I would modify the message to make them mad at each other just for fun.

I randomly remembered and was like, "Wait, that's so Hermes."

So, did you have traits of your deities as a child?

Reminder that Athena is also a goddess of weaving, and you can easily make a cardboard loom!

It's a pretty cool thing to offer her and an easy hobby to get into.

You can search on TikTok/YouTube/Pinterest for ideas on what to make.

(and ofc owls)

Do y'all think your deities have been with you since you were born?

I was watching some old childhood of myself, and I randomly wondered, "What if Lady Athena has been with me since childhood?"

And immediately after that, a random owl my mom decided to film appeared on screen. I thought it was funny, but what do you all think?

Have the gods been with us since childhood and just waited for us?
