  • The Basics of HelPol - Rituals
    Hey, guys! Hope you all have had a lovely weekend so far! Sorry I wasn’t able to record any episodes the last couple of weeks, but it’s been better, and I’m planning on recording twice a month to keep it easier. This episode will be about rituals in ancient times and rituals in modern times. There’s a couple of other ideas and themes in there, but I hope that you can get something from this episode, whatever it is you wanted to get! Have a lovely day! ~Khaire Apollon~

  • The Basics of HelPol - Altars
    Hey, everyone! I’m so glad to be making episodes again after such a long hiatus. I’ve decided to restructure my podcast. For the next few episodes, starting with this one, I’ll be discussing the basics of Hellenic Polytheism. This episode is all about altars, the differences between Hellenic Polytheistic and Hindu altars, and the different conversations surrounding altars in HelPol. I really hope you enjoy this episode. ~Khaire Apollon~

  • Episode 5: Worship Without Connection
    Hey, guys! Aakash here! Hope you’ve had a great day today. Please enjoy this episode, and sorry for not posting recently. It’s been very busy for me these past few weeks, but I’ll be posting more consistently from now on. Thanks! - Aakash

  • Episode 4: Gender and the Gods
    Hello, everyone! I hope you’re having a great Sunday so far. This episode will be about my experiences with exploring my gender identity and how it connects to my experiences with the gods I worship. (If you feel that I should amend my statements here, please let me know, and I’ll be glad to hear you out I would hate to cause any of my listeners discomfort or anger.) I really believe that it’s important to talk about these things with regard to our religion because some members may make new followers unwelcome by disrespecting their gender identity or gender expression when, in reality, the gods themselves have very complex relationships with gender and accept people of all walks of life and all identities and expression. Anyways, I hope you enjoy this episode, and have a wonderful Sunday afternoon! Blessed be the name of Apollo~! - Aditya

  • Not an Episode: Whoops! Sorry!
    Hey, guys. Sorry I didn’t post anything last week. I’ve been busy with my new job and haven’t been able to get enough time to finish the things I need to do, much less record a twenty-minute episode and publish it. Sorry about that! Hope you understand. I’ll be back to posting (mostly) regularly next week, given that I’m not heading to my parents’ house for a given weekend. Thanks for listening, and I hope you have a great rest of your day!

  • Episode 1: My Worship During Quarantine

    As a closeted Hellenic Polytheist, it can be hard to worship when I'm around family. I often have to hide my faith and pretend that I'm Hindu so that they won't be angry with me. I've had to hide my religion for the entirety of my time quarantined with them, and it's been hard to try and find my faith again. It was difficult for me, and I'm sure for many other closeted worshipers too, to hide my faith from my loved ones. My friends understand and accept that I believe something different from them. My family doesn't, and likely won't for a while. 

    But because of my love and respect for Apollo and my other gods, I push on, and I keep trying. I will always try, no matter what. I owe him and the others at least that much for always being here for me and helping me through all my difficult times and celebrating beside me in my moments of joy.

    This is more a rant than a proper discussion about what I experienced just before, during, and after quarantine with my family.

    Hope you enjoy!

  • A Little About Me
    Hey, guys. This is not a formal episode or piece. This is just so you guys can get to know me before I start going off about how much I love the gods. I just did a little description about me and my interests and the gods I worship, but I'll get to actual episodes and recordings later this week or next week. I hope you enjoy listening!
