I wouldn't say I am Reconstructionist Hellenistic or anything Greek related in that sense of labeling, but I notice the God and Goddess in Greek Name more often than not seem to come to me. I was just basting the turkey and suddenly felt a call to thank Hestia for the food I am going to eat and share with my family and friends. I saw a vlog about how the chemical structure of spider webbing can make human skin stronger when injected with a certain compound and suddenly had a moment with Arachne, and, although it's not Greek, during the same vlog I just had to give thanks to Ganesha as the Rider of the Rat realizing mice have been the go to subjects for science for as long as I can remember. So many other connections I can speak of, but I wanted to know if others have these experiences and how they react to them.
Would you give a more formal offering to the Old Gods or is saying and feeling your thanks good enough for impromptu ritual enough (is the moment inspired through gnosis a valid form of theurgy)?
Is it 'blasphemous' or disrespectful to these Divine Masks that I dance with so many other pantheons from other cultures while still holding very strong ties to a pantheon that I have no blood relation to?
My Patron is Greek, and many of her sisters and few brothers I dance and speak with are as well. Is personal gnosis just an excuse to feel better about yourself or have you found validity in your simple and daily communications?
