Can They hear me?

I've recently started morning and nightly prayers to the greek gods, since I can't afford to give a daily offering. But I don't do any invocations beforehand. Can They still hear me? Or am I praying to empty air?

The divine is in everyone and everything so yes they can. If you don't feel anything, perhaps you should try and connect with them more. Set up a sacred space somewhere, meditate near a picture or statue, monthly circles, monthly offerings, and of course daily prayer. Over time you should get an answer. I usually feel my Goddess and God standing behind me when I meditate before the offering, but rarely do I feel them when I pray but I know they're listening, just not in the room at that time.

Yes they can hear you, but may I ask why you don't do invocations? and an offering can be anything that you want it to be.

Gods could hear you. Like every spiritual beings. But, until a god, or goddess do not came in a visible form, so it is mostly about nothing. See greece and egyptian magical papyri.

@ Lumpino not everyone receives a full apparition or vision of the deity. You may hear them, see them in a dream, or some other sign. [Example If you pray to Athena, you may hear or see an owl outside your window.] But yes, you should first have spoken to or reach out to the deity. [Like a dedication or in circle]

Okay, that puts me at ease. I'll start doing invocations too. I had always associated them with ritual and not prayer, so it didn't even dawn on me until last night that they may come in handy. Thank you all.

@ Nekoshema, Well, you are right. I thougt when a people want for gods filling of a wish.
