Hello all! I'm sort of a baby Hellenic Polytheist., I've been researching, reading, praying and all doing that stuff for the Theoi for roughly a year. I had previously started as a neo-wiccan oddly enough. As an art student I'm met with the struggle of trying to find free time for myself (aka free time to do religious things as well as be social and engage in hobbies). Currently the three deities I interact with most are Aphrodite, Hera and Iris. Although currently I am working towards expanding my interactions into god/desses who deal with the dead and I'm also working towards making prayer beads sets for particular groups of gods. I honestly feel weird about leaving out other gods, but my spaces are limited. I figure prayer beads could be a good compromise
As I mentioned before I am an art student (specifically an Illustration student). And I do have an art blog on tumblr... I've been very terrible about posting on it >.> I'm trying to be better this year!!
Most of my online interaction consists of tumblr and facebook, and occasionally Chatzy. I also watch a good amount of youtube. Specifically Bubzvlogz, Anna Akana, Emma Blackery, Rachel & Jun, Parle Productions, And Rooster teeth (I signed up to sponsor them for a year cause I love them >.> )
Some of my hobbies include:
-cosplay
-making jewelry
-Attempting and failing to learn new languages due to time restrictions
-And I've recently picked up the mandolin. I love small string instruments (except the ukulele...) And I want to learn a musical instrument to possibly play for the gods as a for of ritual/ offering. We'll see how that goes ;P
I used to do a lot of roleplay on gaiaonline but again time has been an obstacle for me. I would like to go back sometime though.
But yea, that's me in a nutshell, without an entire life story included ... heheh
Nice to meet you! ^_^

Hi Mel, welcome to the forum!  I graduated from art school two years ago (I was a new media design & imaging student, with a lot of illustration and animation friends), so I am totally understanding where you're coming from. Time is a precious commodity, haha. But I hope you're loving it! And I'd definitely love to see your art blog if you get more active with it later! I have a "professional" one as well but it's been mostly reblogs of things I like as of late since I'm kind of in-between things. |

Gosh, I need to get back into watching some of RoosterTeeth Stuff...specifically Red vs. Blue. I had a bad spout with the community that really made it hard to ever visit their website (stupid sexist gamers being stupid sexist gamers), but I shouldn't let that spoil a good thing. GAIAOLINE ROLEPLAY! There is a chance we met in the day, Mel  Anyway, welcome to the forum!  |

GAIAOLINE ROLEPLAY! There is a chance we met in the day, Mel Anyway, welcome to the forum! Yea that seems to happen every once in a while I usually tune it out cause I don't want to deal with the confrontation :/ Also there is a possibility we might have met. If not there's a greater chance of running into one of my friends. She's always been way more involved than myself. Thanks again! |

Welcome! I have a sweet spot for Iris -- I don't worship her, but she's my sister's favorite deity in the history of ever, so I smile every time I see her mentioned ^^

I feel kinda weird saying that since I only joined today... Ha! that's funny! My mom always said Mel was too boyish, but I've been called that since I was eight. Also I'm terrible at sarcasm.... >.> |
