Beliefs and views[]
Aliakai is a Hellenist polytheist,[16] and believes that “it's likely that many of the ancient Gods are real, but the myths written about Them are not historical fact but rather teaching stories about Them and Their properties.” She worships her particular pantheon due to personal experience.[17] This personal experience was a vision of Athena.[18] Aliakai also pays deference to the Haida deities, and her ancestors.[19]
They grew up “hyperconservative”, then “moved from being a TERF centrist, to intersectional feminist, [and] got radicalized in college.”[20]
