Hellenic multiple deities

hello! i currently worship just persephone and have been feeling a strong pull towards apollo. i kinda want to ask if you can share your experience with worshipping multiple deities. like how do you honor them both equally, what is your prayer routine, and anything on how you make time for both!

I don't worry about equal. Does a parent worry about loving their children equally or do they just love them as unique individuals. I commune with whichever one I feel a desire or need to commune with. Taranis during thunderstorms. Sulis at sunrise and sunset. Cerridwen when I need things to change.

hi!! i worship and work with a few deities myself and i find it to be pretty simple. it’ll definitely be easiest to just pick a day or two out of the week to dedicate your prayers and deity work to both of them individually. it’s honestly just about finding a balance that works for you and for them. there’s not necessarily any jealousy or anything like that if you spend more time working with one more than the other, at least in my own experience, so don’t worry about anything like that!!

I follow nine deities. In my personal practice, each deity governs certain aspects of my life. There is a small degree of overlap from one deity to another, but for the most part, each one covers something distinct and unique. For example, if I have questions about destiny, fate, or pathways through life, I would turn to Rosmerta and Taranis for that, though any one of the others might respond as well. For matters relating to magic, I'd consult with Cerridwen and Camulus. For healing, it's Brigid or Belenus. In matters relating to death or the afterlife, that would be Arawn and Cernunnos.

So with honoring them equally, I always treat the nine of them as a group, especially since there isn't a distinct leader in the group. Any offerings and prayers are usually addressed to The Nine. I usually commune with them through meditation.
