Update 01/10/2024

       I am sick and had to go to the doctor and rest so I didn't get anything done today. Sorry. Turns out that making an app is expensive. Like Apple charges you $100/year just to have an App Store developer account. I don't have that kind of money right now, so until I am financially stable (out of college) or this site starts raking in $100/year (doubtful) there probably won't be an iOS app. I could still try an Android version though. 

      I know that some people may still need an offline reference to use in their practice, and so I am going to convert the content on this site into a book format. I plan on there being an eBook, a PDF, a mini printable version for closeted practitioners (I see you guys), and a physical full color book for sale online. But all that is a while away! I haven't even gotten started converting the website's content into a book form, much less publishing it.

      I have planned some more pages: a shop (I don't get money from it, it's just links to other places, but I put them in an easy to find place so it is more convenient), an update to the learning resources, and a page of good Tumblr blogs that I think are good for further reading and reference. 

      But right now, I'm working on the Hellenic Deities page. I am going to include the Olympians (I didn't know whether or not to include Hestia because in one myth she gives up her throne on Olympus to make room for Dionysus. I am including her, but I don't know if I should list her as an Olympian), some of the Titans, Gaia, Hypnos, Thanatos, Chaos, Hekate, Ouranos, Eros, the Muses, Hades (also didn't know if he technically counted as an Olympian), Persephone, and some various lesser gods like nymphs. I also want to include a section in the learning resources on how to practice Hellenic polytheism, covering topics like miasma, kharis, praying, offerings, and veiling. 

      That's all for today. Bye bye for now!
