Episode Synopsis "Episode 1: My Worship During Quarantine"

As a closeted Hellenic Polytheist, it can be hard to worship when I'm around family. I often have to hide my faith and pretend that I'm Hindu so that they won't be angry with me. I've had to hide my religion for the entirety of my time quarantined with them, and it's been hard to try and find my faith again. It was difficult for me, and I'm sure for many other closeted worshipers too, to hide my faith from my loved ones. My friends understand and accept that I believe something different from them. My family doesn't, and likely won't for a while.  But because of my love and respect for Apollo and my other gods, I push on, and I keep trying. I will always try, no matter what. I owe him and the others at least that much for always being here for me and helping me through all my difficult times and celebrating beside me in my moments of joy. This is more a rant than a proper discussion about what I experienced just before, during, and after quarantine with my family. Hope you enjoy!  - Queen <3
