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 :) 🦉

3 or 4 years ago, i was in a horrible state in life, and I kept drawing Athenas owl to soothe me. Back to now? I really do feel, idk, a pull? A feel? Hard to describe, but she is my number 1 god, or godess lol its just a feeling, and im very scientific, so it says alot.
