A cotton tea towel that I dyed in October 2019 at an indigo dyeing party coordinated by a colleague.

Hellenistic Syncretic Polytheism (HeSP)

28 November 20197 July 2020 ~ kaye ~ 5 Comments

The only definition for this exists in my About Me or that long post I made after a summertime Twitter situation. This post will serve as a definition reference link so I can link to it whenever I mention the term in a post. The abbreviation is HeSP.
