Thank you! I understand what you told me, which helped a lot, but i have one question, what are the things that the god/goddess helps you with? For example i found out hades can help with suicide thoughts, being scared of death, herb work if i Devotee to him. So i was wondering if you can tell me the ones for each god/goddess.
Before I make the list I just want to stress that there is an unlimited amount of things that the gods can help you with so this is not even remotely an exhaustive list. Also just because one deity may be the main one to help with a certain issue doesn’t mean the other gods can’t help with that issue as well.

History Prof: No one worships those gods anymore. Anyone who did has passed away by now.
Pagans: QUIT TELLING EVERYONE I’M DEAD!
History Prof: Sometimes we can still hear their voices.

“Apollon, lord of the sun Your nature is a double-edged sword Although known for your light acts Defending your mother and young boys and everything in between There is a harshness within you The god who skins people alive for their hubris You are not dark or lesser for it The sun can burn as easily as it heals All brightness blinds when stared at directly My lord, you wield your duality well And the world will shake when they hear your name”

Really wish I had people next to me that also worship the Greek Pantheon, and share their love for the deities.

So, I was listening to a bop the other day while worshiping, and this came into my mind and I literally could not function until I posted it.

Just came through to say that I love Apollon. I love everything that his presence brings to my life. My chest is full of sunlight, and I thank him for this. Thank you.
That's it. That's the post.

Oh Nyx,
The goddess of night
Your light shines through in the stories painted by the stars
Your darkness illuminates
The brilliance of the moon
Oh Nyx,
A goddess ancient,
A goddess eternal,
A goddess divine
