I’ve seen several, but as someone pointed out recently, they seem to tend to be less comfortable talking about it publicly.

They are out there. Most of the time, they tend to be super quiet about it because of one or two reasons.

If it’s a dude-spouse with a goddess, they are accused of being in it only for godsex.

If it’s a dude-spouse with a god, they get scoffed at because “omg no god would want a dude-person like that!!!!” (irregardless of if mythology suggests otherwise)

barely related, but one of my favorite descriptions for the Greek Gods is still “straight as a pretzel.”

This sanctity of the meal, which knits the partakers together in a sacred community, will help us to understand the best known and most prominent of all the rites of Greek religion, animal sacrifice. Its meaning and origin have been vigorously discussed. A great scholar, W. Robertson Smith, advanced the hypothesis of a totemistic origin. The animal sacrificed was the god himself, Smith thought, and by eating his flesh the worshippers were united with the god and imbued with his power. This hypothesis has been somewhat modified by Jane Harrison and others, but it is untenable. Not the slightest trace of totemism appears among the Greeks or other Indo-European peoples. The sacredness of the meal suffices to explain the peculiarities of animal sacrifice. The sacrifice is a meal common to the god and his worshippers, linking them together in a close unity. The god is invited by prayer to come to the meal. He receives his portion, and the men, who are the greater number, feast on their portions. This is the reason why only a small portion of the flesh is offered on the altar of the god, a custom which had already struck Hesiod as so peculiar that he invented a mythical explanation of it.The sacrifice is sacred. This is the reason why it is often forbidden to carry parts of it outside the holy precinct. Even the refuse, the bones, and the ashes are sacred and are left in the sanctuary. Such a sacrifice was performed not only at festivals but occasionally in daily life. Whenever an animal was slaughtered, it was considered as a sacrifice and was accompanied by the usual rites. The word philothytes (fond of sacrifices) signifies simply “hospitable.

The form in which the Dioscuri appear in mythology and in their cult in later times is certainly the result of a blending of various elements.They were also called Anaktes (kings), and sometimes they appear as children. Their cult was especially popular at Sparta, where they were evidently house gods. A series of reliefs shows their symbols and cult paraphernalia. Their special symbol was the dokana, two upright beams joined by two transverse beams. This has been interpreted variously and ingeniously both in ancient and modern times. The simple explanation is that the dokana represent the wooden frame of a house built of crude bricks. On certain reliefs from Sparta and from its colony Tarentum, and on Spartan coins, two amphorae appear as the symbols of the Dioscuri. A snake approaches them or is coiling around them or the beams of the dokana. That the Dioscuri were house gods is proved by their cult. A meal was set out and a couch prepared for them in the house. This is what Euphorion did; Phormion was punished because he would not open the chamber of his house to them.These meals were called theoxenia. Theron of Agrigentum and Iason of Pherae prepared meals in honor of the Dioscuri, and Bacchylides in a poem invites them to a meal from which wine and songs will not be missing. The Athenians spread the table in the prytaneum for them with a frugal, old-fashioned meal of cheese, cakes, olives, and leeks. Some vase paintings and reliefs show the Dioscuri coming to the meal. Here they are riding, in accordance with the common conception. In Sparta they appear as snakes. The close affinity of Zeus Ktesios and the sons of Zeus is apparent.

I really want and need to establish a friendly relationship with Ares.

In order to maintain a nice mental health I don’t read the pagan tag anymore

I don’t get stressed with misinformation (occasionally I do, but that’s another story).

Nor with people invalidating pop culture pagans or atheist pagans or satanist pagans or pagans-who-don’t-think-the-gods-are-egregores/madeup or pagan-who-believe-it-so or blahblahblah-pagans or non-pagan polytheists or pagan monotheists and much more.

Said the far-darter to the Gods on high,
“Not one can farther shoot or throw than I.”
In sport great Jove Apollo’s challenge took,
And quick the lots in Mars’ cap Hermes shook.
Luck was with Phœbus. Soon the golden bow
And string he circles; lets the arrow go,
And shoots within the gardens of the West.
Said Jove, when the same range his feet had prest,
“Space fails me, boy. To what point can I shoot?”
Thus without shaft he won the arrow’s fruit.

The sea engulfed a ship and all its crew,
Which one beholding this conclusion drew.
“That the Gods rule unjustly: for that they
A host of harmless men agreed to slay,
Because one godless wretch was in the ship.”
But as the words were just upon his lip,
A swarm of ants surprised him, urged by haste
(’Tis nothing strange), some barley chaff to taste.
Stung by one ant, on all the grumbler trod:
Hermes appear’d, and tapp’d him with his rod.
Said he, “will you not let the Gods then do
To you that justice, the ants meet from you?

Νεώς ποτ’ αὐτοῖς ἀνδράσιν βυθισθείσης,
ἰδών τις ἔλεγεν ἄδικα τοὺς θεοὺς κρίνειν·
ἑνὸς γὰρ ἀσεβοῦς ἐμβεβηκότος πλοίῳ,
πολλοὺς σὺν αὐτῷ μηδὲν αἰτίους θνῄσκειν.
καὶ ταῦθ’ ὁμοῦ λέγοντος, οἷα συμβαίνει,
πολλῶν ἐπ’ αὐτὸν ἑσμὸς ἦλθε μυρμήκων,
σπεύδοντες ἄχνας πυρίνας ἀποτρώγειν·
ὑφ’ ἑνὸς δὲ δηχθεὶς συνεπάτησε τοὺς πλείους.
Ἑρμῆς δ’ ἐπιστὰς τῷ τε ῥαβδίῳ παίων
“εἶτ’ οὐκ ἀνέξῃ” φησί “τοὺς θεοὺς εἶναι
ὑμῶν δικαστὰς οἷος εἶ σὺ μυρμήκων;”

Do you pray to the Gods without offering something? Or every time you pray you offer something to deity in question?

And about silent prayers? Or you always pray loud?

ceryneian-hind-deactivated20130 asked:
Pan, Hermes, or Apollo, methinks! It's hard for me to settle on one. Definitely a nature, music, and writing deity, though!

GREAT!
