Thought I would add it here, was drawing statue of Lady Athena for my school animation project... Idk if I should later add here the whole animation as well, I did changed her hair little because I don't know how to draw her hair from the statues I'm sorry but it was strugle I lost to 😅

Hiya ! i'm writing a paper about the Roman adaptation of the Greek religion and it would help me a lot if you could give me a few minutes of your time to answer a few questions in my survey. it's completely anonymous :)

Has anyone ever experienced Athena wanting a romantic encounter?

Context: I worship Athena for over a year now and I’ve always seen her in a respectful and admiring way. I’m aware different Greek deities have a very relaxed and casual approach to sex, but she never expressed this desire before and I’ve always thought her as someone who wasn’t very interested in that, specially considering she chose not to marry and rejected many men’s advances.

Last week though she appeared to me without her armour in a long white dress, and I felt she wanted to initiate a romantic encounter. Her vision was beautiful and immaculate, and I felt compelled to accept the invitation.

Since then things apparently continued as if nothing happened and I hadn’t received other invitations so far, so I’m assuming she just wanted a casual night, which honestly I’m not complaining at all.

Did anyone ever experience such a thing while working with Athena?

Like the title says, if anyone wishes to talk about our goddess or why you worship her message me. I’d love to here others perspectives

Okay I know this is going to sound strange but I had a dream a couple nights ago and I haven’t been able to shake it but I can’t make heads or tails of it. I used a pendulum to ask Athena if it meant anything and the response I got was a clear ‘yes.’

Just wanted to see if anyone had any sort of interpretations, because I feel so lost.

I was walking along a pier in a city that resembled Greek architecture but in my heart I knew it wasn’t Greece. I was suddenly hit with the overwhelming need to pray to Athena so I jumped off the meter and a half pier and landed in this soft sand that felt around two feet thick (so I was sinking in it) and began to spring to the sea in order to clean myself to pray. The closer I got to it, the more the tide moved further back. I was eventually able to catch up to it and just before I was able to touch it I, like, jolted awake just before my alarm went off and felt so… weird. I then went about the rest of the day feeling in a way I can only describe as disassociated.

I was wondering if anyone had a knack for understanding dreams or if it related to any particular myth I hadn’t heard off. It’s just so… confusing?

I'm still new here, so please bear with me. I recently noticed (as I've mentioned in some comments) that Athena has been calling me for a while. I finally noticed it back in November. (I actually thought for a while that Athena was calling my daughter, then I realized the signs were showing up to me more often.)

So, I decided to make an altar for Athena while shopping at a thrift store. That was kind of a big step for me. I was raised Pentecostal Christian (Holy Rollers). Here I was deciding that I needed to make an altar for a goddess. As soon as I made the decision, I looked up and saw a small oil cruet with olive branches painted on it. So I bought it without question. When I got it home and went to clean it, I noticed that there was half of a cork stuck inside. I laughed and told my daughter that Athena gave me an oil cruet for her altar and a puzzle I had to figure out before I could use it. I got it out.

Fast forward a month and I've been considering finding and making one of those beginners' knitting kit owls for her. I was in another thrift store and saw a medical device from a company named Athena, then an owl candleholder and a stuffed owl. Then, at eye level, a little sewing craft kit. It makes three autumn themed ornaments, a pumpkin, a scarecrow, and an owl.

So, I was wondering, does anyone else get homework assignments from the gods, particularly Lady Athena? If so, please tell me what your assignments were.

I need some advice on how to go about this. When I started in my paganism journey at 14 I was getting signs from a few different gods- however in hindsight it was overtly obvious the last eight years she was giving my some big signs. Specifically my obsession with owls and strategy along with various symbolism over the years. I feel SO FUCKING BAD! This was frequent and obvious symbolism and I just- didn’t pick up on it? As soon as I got home, I immediately lit some Dragons Blood Incense, and meditated while listening to some music meant for her. She doesn’t seem mad, she ragged on me a bit like “wow dude, bout time you realized” but that was it.

What’s worse is that I feel like I wouldn’t have gone through as much trauma the last eight years if I had had her guidance. I feel like an utter idiot and all I can do is just try and be wiser.

How can I possibly make up for this? Have you experienced similar? I worship many other Gods, my main devotion being with Lady Aphrodite. Lady Athena seems to like crafts and I can do that- but I feel like offerings aren’t enough.

I am a devotee of Aphrodite and have been going through a lot at the workplace lately. I was preparing a bath to cleanse and asked Aphrodite to bless me with her love so I can feel loved and worthy again after a horrible day at the office. Then I reached to my little book of spells for office and the first page I opened was about asking help from Athena for struggles at the workplace.

I don’t have much space for a big altar at my home right now but what would be the one thing that I could use to represent an altar for her? And what would be an appropriate offering?

Don't know if I can add it to my altar for her...

I believe the animals associated with the greek gods should be changed with our moder understanding and knowledge of animals. And before I get the, "you can't change the mythos" I want to point out

1. the evidence of pan, a god of nature and general travelers who disappeared and a handful of other gods took his place, not as a story or anything, they just changed it.

2. There reasons for these animals being the best picks are flawed and based in misunderstandings

My starting point is that athena shouldn't be associated with owls for there intelligence but rather the raven. Yes I understand that not every version of athenas owl represents wisdom but the ability of perception, to see truth. I think a smart bird would be better mascot.

So I’m new to the community, so please don’t be mean. I don’t really have much money, so I’m wondering if I could offer her a fruit?

Shared this on r/Hellenism and wanted to share my Athena altar with you guys

Hello, so as the title says I’m very new to worshipping Athena. I grew up in a very Catholic family and as I got older I started to feel like that wasn’t my path in life and spent a long time trying to find what was right for me. I’m not sure what lead me here to Athena but here I am.

So now that that’s all out of the way here comes my actual question/advice. I’ve begun finding stuff to build a little Alter in my house soon (I’m about to move from Germany to the US in a couple months so I don’t want to build anything big until I get to my new home) I’ve found some statues of Athena off amazon that I’ve ordered along with several stones that I’ve read are best to put in her Alter but I haven’t found much else in my research. Does anyone have any suggestions of things I could add to the alter or other things I could do/read to expand my knowledge and worship?

Duck and inscription not by me 🤭

Gerade geliefert bekommen! Kommt am Montag in mein Büro …

Contents: the books (titles are easily readable)

Assassins creed Odyssey and Immortals: Fenyx rising are hidden behind the wooden print.

Inside the fake book are pins, drachme and other small offerings such as vial of olive oil.

Beyond the Arasaka samurai mask is the beginning of my alter to Nyx and Hades. (That will be a separate post).

I'm not sure if this is the right flair but I'll change it if I have to.

For the past week or so owls have been showing up at least once per day, usually multiple times a day. Watching a video explaining tarot? They pull a card with an owl for an example. Trying to find a pattern so I can make something at work? Find an owl plushie pattern (almost made it but it was way beyond my skill level) Having a conversation with my partner? They start talking about how cool owls are. And more that I can't recall the specifics of. I don't know if this is just me becoming more aware of how prevalent owls are because I have started worshipping Athena or if she’s trying to tell me something. If she is I have no idea what it is.

Just wanted to share because it's super prevalent in my life right now.

Just a little sketch and watercolor! Don’t worry, the snake is baby-safe!

Heyo, I'm making a masterpost on Tumblr and would love for some folks to share how they celebrate any of Athene's festivals or special days. I have struggled with celebrating these myself (I struggle celebrating anything at all if it's just me) and also will just appreciate the advice myself.

Of course I have always had deep reverence for our Goddess; but I had never built shrines to her or felt a particular pull to associate… and then she called me to her in a pretty crazy experience. Wondering if anyone else had a similar experience where they were “tapped” so to speak? If so, what was it like for you?

Hi question! I’m new to working with Lady Athena and wanted to know if anyone else has had this feeling. I was doing dice divination with Lord Hermes and Lady Athena last night and when I would talk to Lady Athena I felt that she was somewhat skeptical about me, has anyone else felt this? If so any tips on how to build a strong connection/relationship with her?

Anything anybody wants to share about Athena? Experiences, facts, what you like to do for worship and anything else is welcome. Even just praise or prayer! Let’s celebrate Lady Athena 🦉🛡️📖✨🕯️

This is from AC Odyssey. I'm wondering if anyone has made a model of it, for 3D printing, or if there are any similar statuettes out there. I really like the dynamic pose and the simple garb.
