Honoring the Gods Daily

One of the big problems with living with my mother is finding a way to honor the gods and not it become an issue. I have an altar that I use when I do my rituals and then it goes back to being a regular table when I'm done. In the eleven years that I've been a Greek pagan I've figured out small ways to honor the gods without it becoming an issue.

Here's my altar.

1: Praying doesn't need an altar.

One of the things that I've learned about religion  is that prayer doesn't require an altar. You can pray to the gods and do it daily as part of your practice. The ancients prayed to their gods and it still applies today.

2: Having a Travel Altar

Out of all the things that I've learned during my time is the idea of having a travel altar. It is a safe way to have your altar without your parents knowing. You can always pack it away when your done.

3: Giving an offering outside.

Going outside and giving an offering the gods is a way to practice without causing problems. This is really good when it's warm outside. Leaving an offering that won't harm animals is another way to honor even the nature spirits.

4: Living a Life the Greeks would of been proud of.

Out of all the small things that you can do, the most important thing, is to live your life the way the Greeks would of been proud of.


It's not easy to be a Hellenist, but it's worth it in the end.
