Life of a Hellenic Polytheist

Theoi (Gods) Thy are my Parents, my Family I turn to Thee mostly at times of Need & Suffering When that has passed I almost forget Thee Sometimes when I feel caught between Skylla & the Kharybdis I mock Thee, asking Thee why ..? But I suffer because of my own doing O’ Theoi (Gods) Thou have given me life Thou comfort me, Thou never leaves me alone Thou are always there for me In sickness, in pain, in heartache Thou have guided me & gave me strength I am sorry for all the wrongs I’ve made I may not be able to give you offerings, sacrifices nor can I give you libations Sorry if I can’t thank Thee properly I know this prayer is not suitable for Thee O’ Theoi (Gods) in Heaven But I promise Thee, I will always believe… I will always, always believe in Hellenismos Khaire !

So this is something which I found on my Facebook Notes which I thought would be very useful to those practicing Hellenism and a bit stumped on what sorts of incenses to use.     The Orphic Hymns specify particular types of incense to be offered to each deity. In cases where one is saying multiple hymns with differing instructions, one might either choose a single type or make a blend of all those indicated. Pure frankincense makes a good all-purpose offertory incense. The incense specifications from the Orphic text are as follows: Frankincense : Apollon, Ares, Artemis, Asklepios, Bakkhai, Dike, Eos, Hephaistos, Herakles, Hermes, Hygeia, Kouretes, Muses, Nike, Satyros, Silenos, Tethys, Themis, Titans Myrrh : Leto, Nereus, Poseidon Storax : Chthonic Hermes, Dionysos, Eleusinian Demeter, Erines (also frankincense), Graces, Kronos, Semele, Zeus Aromatic Herbs : Adonis, Athena, Eros, Eumenides, Fates, Hera, Hestia, Horai, Nereids, Nymphs, Okea...

So if you are not keeping your profile up to date by logging in and making notes on how you are finding work , they immediately cut your benefits. I was quite ticked off at this myself, when I was confronted by the lady of my lack of "notes" as they needed evidence to show that ...
