💖💖IDEA FOR LDR HELLENISTS💖💖:

Something I’ve started doing is I’ve been putting 2 bowls of stones in front of my Aphrodite shrine. The first bowl (black) holds the number stones/days until I see my SO again, and the second bowl (white) is the number of days that have passed.

Every day I move a stone from the black bowl to white bowl, as a way of counting down until I see my SO again, and when I do I say a small prayer/thanks to Aphrodite for blessing and positivity in my relationship.

Its really helped a lot with multiple aspects of my religion and relationship, so I wanted to share 🙂

I also want to find a way to incorporate Hermes into this little daily ritual, since I personally associate both Him and Aphrodite as patrons of long distance relationships.

Hi! Long story short I’ve been getting signals that a deity has been reaching out to me & I just figured out that it’s probably Hermes: I unexpectedly got a post office job, got randomly put in a seminar about homelessness, ive been invited to travel abroad to visit friends. So like. Not very subtle. I was wondering how one goes about worshipping Hermes?

Hello and welcome my friend! I’m glad you found your way to this humble lil shrine.

My advice is always to start slow. Read and expand on the things about Hermes that grab you, such as the aspects that pertain to your job and activism. Ask questions and look for the “signs” pointing to the answers. (His unsubtlety and sheer cheekiness really helps when it comes to that, and He always makes it fun!)

There’s a lot of excellent resources in the tags, so I’m going to tag some to this post ♥️
