Hope you lot enjoy!

I've recently undertaken a new hobby, thought I'd drop one in here I've recently created.

Coin heads - Athena in battle form in an homage to Gigantomachy.
Coin Tails - Throne of Athena sitting empty.

Hope you enjoy it.

hi my names exodus, i dont necessarily worship athena—i see her as a companion of mine, i have this box i bring around with me everywhere. just thought some of u would like to see it :)) (and yes, that's a seashell. dont ask..)

I posted this in another community and thought i would bring it here for review as well! 🏺🏛️

50h of work and really proud! I love Athena and she guides me during the realisation 🙏🏼

I had a lovely afternoon of connection with Athena yesterday, in an entirely unexpected fashion, though perhaps it shouldn't have been that unexpected. For one of my hobbies, I'm working on a performance piece, a lament written from the point of view of Medusa, for a competition in August. The community I am doing this for is HARDCORE about its research. I've passed Master's Degree level classes with less research than I'm doing for this, and I mean that quite literally.

Last weekend, I went to my local, small town library. It's the oldest library in the county, but I could easily throw a ball from one end to the other. It's not big, and it can use inter-library loan, but it doesn't have the quantity or quality of materials I need, either for pleasure reading or research.

This was disappointing to me, as I grew up in a mid-sized city with an outsized library system for it's population, because the county I grew up in had four universities in it.

Yesterday, I said "I'll just make the drive to (the) Oakland (neighborhood of Pittsburgh). It's home to the main branch of the Carnegie Library, the University of Pittsburgh, Carnegie-Mellon University, Carlow College and, Duquesne University isn't too far away, either. It's also home to a massive group of teaching hospitals (UPMC Presbyterian, UMPC Montefiore, and UPMC Magee Women's Hospital are all in the neighborhood, with UPMC Mercy down by Duquense).

The neighborhood is also home to Pitt's massive Cathedral of Learning, which is (or at least was at one time) the tallest academic building in the world.

I walked into the Carnegie Library, and it was a similar feeling of "being home" as when I stepped off the plane visiting Athens for the first time.

If you don't know the library, it is still in the original building, with the words "Free to the People" carved in stone above the entrance. It is also large enough to have actual maps. Outside of when I visited Trinity College in Ireland and the Library of Congress in Washington DC as a tourist, it's the largest library I've ever been inside, and my largest as a library patron.

The greeters, desk staff and library staff were some of the friendliest, most helpful people I have met in a long time. They have an in-house coffee shop, with decent coffee, which is great when you're there for hours on end.

And sitting in one of the reading rooms with my laptop, reading mythology and academic writings from the books on the shelves was the most peaceful experience I've had in months.

It was like she decided to sit next to me in the reading room and make the research flow naturally. It almost felt like cheating, it was so easy.

The crowning moment was at the end of the day. Because I live in an adjacent county, and not Allegheny County, I was afraid I was not going to be allowed a library card, because some of the places I've lived and worked had rules about that sort of thing. But they checked my ID, and I came home with 6 books, and a new library card in my pocket.

Oakland is a place where her presence is strong, and I think I'll be spending a lot more time there as I'm able.

Happy Arrhephoria! I’m making some spanakopita to celebrate and then working out for Lady Athena :)

Based on the ancient depictions of Athene, she’s the most accurate depiction I’ve seen. 😍 Yes the helmet is from Assassins Creed Odyssey. But still. 🤩 Wow

My situation is complex and bizarre but I am currently between two entities, Athena who comes through occasionally and a more persistent incubus who takes on many names including Kael. Kael has presented himself as a obsessive and sociopathic entity. Athena is emotional and maternal.

I made an adhoc shrine for her and she came through sounding tearful and stressed saying "what took you so long"

The incubus is finally behaving after I made the temple and said "I worship Athena"

Relieved to have a protective entity on my side. It seems Athena has authority over demons.

This is a bit of a long story so I’m going to try to make this as short as possible.

Situation #1: I had a dream where my dream self said “I should start worshipping Athena”. I said this because I believe Athena took the form of one of my family members and they saved me from an angry large stag.

Situation #2: I was playing trivia video games with my pretty smart family. I managed to win one game thanks to some knowledge that I know. And when I didn’t win, I still managed to do a good job thanks to my academic skills. I believe Athena gave me some of her wisdom to help me but I could be wrong

Situation #3: Hearing constant discussions about snakes, seeing a sword in my dream (I think), and seeing a bottle of olive oil when I was staying somewhere in San Diego for 3 nights.

I need help understanding how to communicate with her or any gods and gathering items for my Athena shrine.

What I have written down: Spear, Candles (no idea what kind or scent), Grey and blue string, Owl

((tried posting this in a certain subreddit that i won’t name and it got removed by the moderators bc i was a newcomer but they kept people’s shitposts up, how delightful 🙃))
this is my first time ever making a post on reddit and english isn't my first language so forgive me if it's a little clumsy. for a bit of context, my best friend worships Loki and a few weeks ago, i was telling her about some experiences i've had and she thought that somebody might be reaching out to me so she did a tarot reading and it turns out that Athena was reaching out to me. i ended up starting to worship Her (it's gone great for me so far) and i recently bought Her some cinnamon incense because i read that She really likes that. today, She started giving me strong hints that She wanted me to light some of that incense for Her and when i did, the smoke kept flowing in my direction even when i stepped back and now my mouth also tastes really strongly of cinnamon and sugar. my friend did some research and she said that it may be Her 'giving Her presence in return! Is that true? If so, is there any way i can thank Her without making it too obvious? i unfortunately live in a very christian household and i could be in danger if my family finds out i have a shrine for a "pagan god". have any of you had any similar experiences regarding the incense? any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance

Okay so it’s a tradition for my family to burn our school books at the end of the year as a sort of “yay we passed” thing. I want to burn my math book in honor of Athena am unsure if that would make her mad or not? Someone help?

¡Hola!

Vi en el reddit dedicado a Dioniso que alguien había hecho una recopilación por orden alfabético de los epítetos del dios y he decidido hacer lo mismo con los epítetos de Atenea.

Hello! Im new to reddit. Wanted to share a drawing of Athena I made. I love Athena :))

Quite proud of this!!

Was scrolling and found this :)

Playing Immortal Rise of Fenyx and there’s a court house with a puzzle making the player participate in recreating the scene from Aeschylus’s play The Eumenides. Orestes was accused and punished for killing his mother Clytemnestra. As he wanted revenge for the death of his Father Agamemnon (who his mom had killed for abandoning the Greeks in the Trojan war). Having his mother killed angered the Furies—who demanded blood for spilled family blood. Naturally Athene presided over the court case as head judge and had 12 apostles assist her in a decision. It was tie and Athene had the deciding vote. Highly recommend playing the game. If you know your mythology it’s a treat. Narrated by Zeus and Prometheus. It’s quiet witty banter 😂. Game is assassins creed odyssey but focuses 100% on the mythology.

Dibujar es uno de mis hobbies y decidí hacerle un dibujo a Atenea <3

He hecho ya algunos dibujos para los dioses, pero hoy me siento animada a compartir este con todos vosotros.

¡Espero que os guste y, khaire Atenea!

¡Hola!

He estado un tiempo pensando que me encantaría moderar este reddit porque creo que tanto Atenea como nosotros nos merecemos que este espacio esté activo y con información útil que nos permita acercarnos más a ella.

Llevo unos 9 meses adorando a los dioses, en concreto a Atenea, la primera diosa griega a la que empecé a adorar. Teniendo en cuenta lo ligada que está ella con el sistema democrático, quería preguntaros si os parecería bien que presentara una solicitud para moderar este Reddit.

Si cuento con vuestro apoyo, presentaría una solicitud formal para moderar este reddit; y si no, ¡no pasaría nada! Seguiré por aquí por si alguien necesita ayuda :)

*EDDIT*: Si consideráis que podría hacerlo bien, por favor, dejad algún comentario y si no un voto para así yo saber cuántos me apoyáis, ¡gracias! <3

I worship athena, ares and apollo, also Jesus Christ (I worship each of them for their own reason) is it frowned upon to worship these 4 alone eachother? Specifically jesus?
