I want to work/worship Hades, I've always felt very drawn to him, but i dont have the money to buy things I need to offer him and or make an alter, I've heard I can write stuff to him, and I'm a writer/love writing but I'm not sure how to go about it
Any advice is welcome
I've come to the realization that a friend may not be the friend I thought. She works with Santa Muerte and when she found out that Hades called to me, she was not fond of the idea. I'm wondering does Hades provide protection from other deities? I'm still new to this deity thing!
i've been worshipping the goddess selene for some time, but i felt particularly drawn to hades for some strange reason. the night before i attempted to reach out to hades, i had very strange symbolic images of pomegranates, i kept hearing the name 'pluto' chanted in my dreams... it was nothing like i have ever experienced. i'm not sure if i just dreamed of something like that because hades has been in my thoughts constantly or what... but i dunno.
and then the next evening i offered an obsidian rock and a black perfume bottle (just because it reminded me of him) and reached out via tarot cards. it felt so incredibly easy to open my heart to him. it was like my heart was on display, and within fifteen minutes of the reading, i just broke down into tears. completely. i never felt afraid of him. it wasn't fear. it was just like a beginning of an emotional release. it felt like a steady and stoic presence with me, but there was that undertone of compassion rooted in it. i've never had any experience like this with any other deities. has anyone else experienced this? i'm interested to hear about others who have worked with hades if they have experienced this.
Please be kind, I'm still newish to hellenism and english isn't my first language. So what I do is I've been honoring my food to Hades and Persephone before I eat it. I (now) know you shouldn't be consuming your food offerings to any Chthonic deities. But as a casual worshipper of Hades and Persephone, I kind of accidentally forgot that, whoops.
And reading a bit on the hellenic subreddit on it, it seems disrespectful or a big no no to eat these food offerings. Yet here, I don't any much of that. But I might be wrong. Would like to hear your thoughts on it, I'm just kinda worried that I might've accidentally offended Hades and Persephone unknowingly 😓
Well this couldn’t be more perfect timing the day after Triplutonia. I offered a piece of beer bread and asked for a sign to continue with my spiritual practice. I have also been wanting to add some bones to Hades alter for quite some time now and earlier this year my cat had passed. I was planning on placing his skull and a few of the other remains onto the alter yet when I set to recover them I couldn’t find them. I believe my 2yr husky sadly dug up the grave and scatter the remains everywhere. But today while out walking with my bf we found this beauty. I’m not sure as to what it belongs to but my bf thinks it may be a cat. I don’t believe it to be so for the face is too narrow in my opinion. Either way I am taking this as a sign from the Lord himself as the timing of this is way too perfect and if it is a cat’s skull then that’s just more proof. What do yall think??
Since we are showing altars, here is mine. Glad to have found this community!
I love when he's so in your face when working with him. 🥹🖤
I was at the store and had barely any money but look over and a single black candle. A small thing. For 30% off making it only $2. I can afford that.
I felt so oddly drawn to it. I couldn't help but buy it. I put it next to a blue candle I recently bought. Some strange, soothing feeling over came me. And my eyes bagan to water...
Did Hades do this?
Hi everyone, I'm glad to have joined this Subreddit. I'm just saying hi and seeing if anyone would like to be my friend?
Also, I've more information that is pinned on my profile posts and a lot of comments as well. If you would like to be my friend just hit me up. I'll check my messages very soon later :) I'm glad to have joined this awesome Subreddit.
Also, I do have a Discord server by the way, but it's not owned by me. My best friend owns the Discord server and also is held together with my best friends as mods.
I've some more information posted, and I hope this is allowed to be posted here.
I just wanted to thank you all for advice and past few days been feeling better. For thoe who might not seen my last post I was scared about the pull to hades and being in a heavily christain family. So here my alter i took advice it's a box so I can hide it when I'm not home
I made a post referencing this subreddit, and I received a message that this sub has been blacklisted. Does anyone know anything about this?
Im still adding items to it but this is what I have so far ^^
I have been looking into hellenic paganism for a bit and one of the deities I've been drawn to is Hades. I am only a beginner and my family wouldn't be supportive of me changing religions so I want this to be as discreet as possible while still doing something.
From what I have researched, hades is the God of death and wealth. He has a wife called persephone.He can come off as strongly reserved and he is from the underworld.
I want a lot with my life: not specifically from HIM particularly but in general I guess. I want to have enough money to move out and transition medically while also staying strong as a person. I want to be stronger mentally and physically as well. Is Hades a good starting point for me? Should I look around a bit more? And if it's 100% ok to support him, how do I do it? I can't make any alters for him, but I am open to other discreet options
Hello! I would like to share an experience I have had. For context- i was raised Christian and just became Hellenist not too long ago. I have been praying to Hades about financial matters since I am in college, and my prayers have been answered! I was given $200 by my grandmother and $4,000 by my school! To have my prayers answered feels amazing- thank you Hades for listening to me.
Hey all! Just wondering if there have been any changes or plans made for Trip this year. Is anyone celebrating?
I don't know if this is signs or in my head. Let's mw says mods please take down if this breaks rules. Also soo sorry I'm dyslexic and stuggle when I'm nervous.
TLDR : I think hades been calling me most of my life but I was raised christain
I'm not early 20s and a bit ago I posted on r/Pagen about my religious confusion and all kinda came to ahead this past Sunday. I always been fond and connected to the dead since I was little. It fascinated me despite being very much a scary cat. I see vision of things decaying and bright blue eyes. When I was young it was scarry now it's calming. If I didn't go into engineering I was looking into becoming a mortician. I always been connected to wind spirits and follow me from some time now. Ussaly when people get sad in winter I thrive and when fall hits I become lonley. I wanted to take latin instead of French or Spanish. This been on my mind for a while and then sunday I watch my father get baptized in christain church. I felt emotional my dad was reborn. He wasn't great person but past 3 years changed. Then I got home and I kept looking at this clearing on my shelf over and over. Till I kinda just started grabbing things. I grabbed this blood red candle my dogs old photo ans dog tag and this orinate light up rose. I kinda just looked at it and felt right. I see it from bed and added fresh flowers and oak scents. It took me a second to realize what I was doing and more internal conflict happened. Soo my question is this and you can be honest. Am I insane to think this is hades? Like I think it's hard cause I was raised heavily in one religion but am I just in my head? I don't know if this sounds insensitive I have evey much weird take on religions and genuinely belive that when people say the work with one the gods they really do. I'm sorry if this sound offensive. I'm really lost and confused and if I tell my family they just rip it down and tell me to repent.
OK!!!! Let’s just start with the morning. So I woke up all refreshed (it like the third time i actually got good sleep) but anyway so I get up do my morning routine and I’m drawn to wear this necklace with many keys on it that I gave to Hades when I started to work with him. So I wear it all day.
So I work at a restaurant and it’s loud in the back kitchen area. So we’re in the middle of lunch rush I walk around the corner I see that one of my coworkers are just standing there on the phone and I see that the dishes were getting backed up so I asked him if he could catch them up, he does some dishes but not a whole lot and tells the manager on duty and then the manager on duty proceeds to tell me that I needed to do the dishes, but I was currently already doing something and I told her that.
Couple hours ago by and I want to take a break and what not so I asked my other manager if they want to join me outside for a bit and they agreed, and this person is someone that I talk to all the time, So I was going to tell him what my coworker did that irritated me but then I had an overwhelming feeling that I shouldn’t and so i followed the feeling.
I KIND YOU NOT, not even 15 minutes when we came back inside I’m in a different part of the kitchen and I hear all the managers talking about the situation in a complete different part of the kitchen, I could hear them over the ovens and everything. I was BAFFLED 😮(how could I hear them that far away)
Do you think Hades wanted me to hear that conversation or am I overthinking and overreacting
I recently just started worshipping Hades. Day one of worshipping him I woke up feeling amazing which never really happened before, so didn’t think much of it but before I went to work I picked up some trash that was on the ground (Which I never used to do but now when I see trash on the ground I pick it up for him) anyways after about a good hour into work my boss tells me that I’m going to take a catering order and I said that’s fine but next thing I know my boss is sending money which I didn’t know I was getting straight away so I didn’t put to much thought into, but when I was driving I had an overwhelming feeling of thankfulness.
Day two, so I’m going to get right down to it Im scared of the dark and of the dead. But yesterday was completely different, I went on a walk yesterday at night by myself and I even stop at the graveyard and sat for a good while, and in that time I felt at peace and didn’t want to go back home.
Sorry for yapping I just wanted to share some of my experiences even though I just started worshipping Hades, I would love to know what you guys think.
When I joined, I was sent a message saying I should introduce myself on a Sunday, and it suggested there was a particular thread that I should attach my message to. Is there such a thread? I'm not good at keeping track of days, so I missed last Sunday. What introduction would you like?
Dios de muertos
Hello! I was wondering if there are any Mexican folks in here that celebrate Dios de Muertos and honor Hades in their celebrations.
I am not Mexican, but my partner is mixed race and we would like to celebrate Dios de muertos this year. We are both Hellenic polytheist and I was curious if anyone else was in a similar boat!
Im not 100% sure if this is the correct flare!!!
Basically, I've recently begun journaling, i dont have the most money so i only got one and i have Hades and Apollon share it - journal for both in one - and I've been asking them for help finding someone who would like me back for me and to give me a sign on how to find said person, and i think one of them answered my prayerS! (Intentional uppercase S). Yesterday (monday) this new kid came to my school, i have 4th, lunch, and 5th period with him and he sits next to be in 5th(im getting a new seating chart in 4th so we might not be near each other anymore) but he's REALLY cute, totally my type! And he seems nice! Im really nervous to talk to him but im gonna do it!
I just wanted to share this story cause i didnt really have anyone else to go to, im not really sure if im looking for advice or what but i just wanted to tell someone how i thought it came to be, my family and friends dont know im a Hellenist (exept one of my friends) and ive been thinking about telling my grandpa because he told me he believes "your religion is yours and mine is mine" and i really like that - i just dont know how to bring it up to him lol, but he knows im into greek stuff so ill find a way, maybe. Anyway, sorry for the rant i guess, whoever reads this, thank you!😅
Just curious, how do you guys feel about like youtube videos, TV shows, movies etc. about ghosts? Either fictional horror media or like ghost hunting videos or ghost caught on camera. I looked up "ghost" on this subreddit and there were only 2 posts which surprised me so just wondering what yall think.
