Reblog if you love Haides!

So I’ve been doing a lot of reading lately of Hellenic polytheist books. And basically, most of them say how Haides isn’t to be worshipped outside of respecting him and honoring the dead. Many are superstitious even still that inviting Haides into your life in any way will bring death into it, which I find ridiculous. He is not a god of death; he is the god of THE dead. He is the one who takes care of our loved ones when they pass on; it is he who makes sure they are at peace.

Shortly after I started down the Hellenic path, I had a terrible night where I was in need of help. I don’t want to get too personal, but just to say that Haides saved me. Without me asking, he just did it. And he has taught me so much already about the preciousness of life and mortality, and he’s taught me to notice the small beautiful things in life and to be grateful for those things.

If you love Haides as well, reblog to show him the love he deserves!
