About Patch and this Blog
-I'm known on the internet as Patch.
I have been a practising Hellenic polytheist for 4 years.
- After following a re-con methodology for a number of years, I became unable to ignore the call to witchcraft and so here I am today exploring how this fits into my practice.This blog primarily deals with devotional worship, Hellenic polytheism, pagan living and a whole lot of navel gazing.

D is for Deipnon
I didn’t do a pagan blog project post last week as I just didn’t have the time. I technically still don’t have time, and so this post does not go into half as much detail as I would have liked … Continue reading

Holy days, break ups and spiritual development
I have once again started to observe the holy days for some of my gods. It is something I had always done but stopped when I started re-evaluating my path. Letting such an important aspect of my practice slide was … Continue reading

At the time of the dark moon (which was some time last week now for those that don’t know) I celebrated Hekate’s Deipnon. It was the first religious observance I have done since living here. In the daytime I cleaned … Continue reading
