What lesser known / underappreciated deities do you worship, and how?

I GOT A BUNCH🗣️

I want to worship Phobos and Deimos too, and they’re lesser known, but here are the ones I currently worship actively:

1. Hypnos. I light his candle before bed and yap. He’s so quiet and steady. I also feel his energy whenever I’m up too late, bro fs just wants me to sleep (i get horrible sleep bc of nightmares but he helps me!)
2. Nike. She’s extremely new to me, but she’s gonna get an altar once I move and formal prayers!

figured i’d post this in case anyone else is struggling to do everything they want to, everyday. whilst i do worship the gods everyday and try to light their candles twice or thrice a week, thats not always possible. hell sometimes the things on this list dont even get done (like rn bc im moving) but its still my framework that i try to do!

Sunday: cleansing + physical cleaning their altars, reading up on ancient greece, and Apollon worship !!

Monday: shadow work in honor of hades and ares (worst part of my week but necessary)

Tuesday: Ares worship day woohoo !! offering, prayer and some devotional act (practicing my sport, playing an FPS game or reading a war history book)

Wednesday: usually some kind of spell, sometimes offerings to Athena if my week has been going rough academics-wise

Thursday: ZEUS !! offering and prayer (i try to always light his and Hestia’s candles before worshipping any of the gods too, but i also think he enjoys some time just on him as the king of the gods :D)

Friday: Aphrodite worship ofc, same as the gods usual schedule (offering, prayer, and devotional act) but i’ll also throw some self care in there and reminding my loved ones that i love them lots if im having a rough week

Saturday: primordial and titan god thanks. i don’t worship any of them actively, but i think giving thanks is appreciated too. since there’s a lot, i usually give a short prayer thanking Nyx, Helios, Prometheus, Gaia, Selene and Hekate. also, Aphrodite gets a thanks and a kiss on her altar since one of her myths is that she is the daughter of Kronos. i also like to do any spells to prepare me for the week ahead!!

bro i was playing valorant and noticed the other team’s sage had the user “Hecate” so i went in all chat and typed “hecate as in the titan?” and she said yes and said she’s her matron and i was SO EXCITED BECAUSE THERE WAS ANOTHER HELPOL.

AND THEN GUESS WHAT? MY JETT PIPED IN AND HE WAS ALSO A HELPOL UHUHUIGHUIHGUIHGUAIHUIGHFUHG

BUILDING BLOCKS: 20 DAY HELPOL CHALLENGE

DAY 2:

`-What does your average daily/weekly practice look like? On a good day? On a bad day?

usually on a good day i light everyone’s candle, say a prayer to each of them, give an offering, and study something from ancient greece. on a bad day, i pray to Ares for strength to make it through the day or to Apollo to lift my spirits, and maybe light Hypnos’ candle before bed. on my worst days, i do nothing for them (┬┬﹏┬┬)

DAY 3:

`-Are there religions or traditions that you practice alongside helpol or syncretize with it? If so, what are they and why?

no, im just a helpol 🙏 i love all religions though except like mormonism and other things that are just… not it

DAY 4:

`-Do you pray daily? Why or why not?

i try my best to because it’s a good way to build Kharis, and i find that it eases my mind a lot. it also makes me feel productive lol

things i think aphrodite appreciates

౨ৎ little affirmations in front of your mirror before beginning your day

౨ৎ putting on makeup with her candle lit, telling her your plans or why you’re getting ready

౨ৎ giving her a small offering before leaving for class, asking her to protect you from the dreaded school air effect

౨ৎ doing your skin or hair care before a nice bubble bath

౨ৎ always making your bed (idk why i just feel like she loves her bed being nice)

౨ৎ getting a piercing you’ve always wanted

౨ৎ uplifting yourself after a long day, week, or month and getting some much needed self care

౨ৎ doing other people’s hair at school or sports

౨ৎ complimenting someone while you’re out

౨ৎ knowing your sexuality

౨ৎ looking at love as something you will eventually find, rather than unattainable or only for people better than you

౨ৎ complimenting your own body whenever you see it

౨ৎ TAKING CARE OF YOUR BODY !! eating right, working out, resting when you need to- all of these are important even if you’re not a devotee of aphrodite (i understand if you’re in a bad bit of depression that these aren’t always doable, but you should do them when you’re feeling well 🩷)

౨ৎ complimenting someone in their comment section on a post

౨ৎ having an addiction to lip glosses/oils
