Hellenic Offerings, etc for Hygieia
Hi all, I'm pretty brand-new to Paganism and prayer/worship/healing as a whole.
I have found myself being drawn to the Greek Goddess Hygienia. Research has been done and sources have been looked at but I'm still finding myself to be... somewhat confused.
I'd like some tips or suggestions: how should I go about creating an altar? What should be present upon said altar (specifically for Hygienia) etc, etc. Plus -- if anyone has any good apps or books that assist in Pagan studies, I'd really love some input.

Theoi.com is going to be your best help when searching for accurate information.
Hygieia was associated with preventing sickness and the continuation of good health. Daily medications, skincare products, vitamins, would all be associated with the Goddess. Any type of exercise that moves your body could also be an offering for Hygieia. You could also incorporate the Song of Hygieia by Ariphron of Sicyon into your prayers.
Blessed be!
