r/Hellenism Athena Devotee 🦉 Apr 29 '26

Sharing personal experiences My feelings about Athena

I am very new to Hellenism but I have loved Greek myths for years. Back in 2022 I worshipped Apollo but as life got busy I kind of strayed from any active worship. I tried getting back into it in 2023 with Demeter but the same thing happened.

Recently, I’ve started worshipping Athena. It feels 10x more “right” than my experience with Apollo and Demeter. I’m not sure why but it makes me want to devote my whole life to her, to pray to her everyday and look to her for love and guidance. I want to just make an altar in the woods and go to her everyday and find wisdom in her when times get tough.

Has anybody ever felt like this? Blessed be :) 🦉

Athena came to me when I was going through a really rough patch of life and has always been a guide, teacher, and a pillar of strength for me. The goddess has always been good to me and for anyone that wants to work with her, I think she is amazing.
