PSA: the Greek myths are not real. They are not real documentation of events. If you go into communication with deities only believing that they will be how they are in the mythology you're gonna be really surprised when Zeus shows up to tell you he's proud of you for graduating.
The myths were created to tell stories. You should take what happens in the myths with as much weight as you'd take what happened in Bible stories. These are myths that were never meant to be taken as the truth, written in a language that doesn't exist anymore, after being passed around orally in a language that doesn't exist anymore, in a time where words meant different things. The myths are not a good source for what a god is like or what they have done. Do not treat them like the Pinnacle of truth and do not belittle others for their preferred Greek myths.

My favorite simple wards to guard the home
Hanging rosemary above the doorstep, and/or above doors of the house for protection.
Sprinkling a line of dried red pepper on a windowsill, to counter a curse.
Placing a mix of dried & ground eggshells and black pepper in every corner of a room to keep out unwanted spirits.
Placing a decoration representing a witch in the kitchen, to keep away illness and to favor health.
Crafting an effigie (no matter how crude!) and make it into the guardian of your home by charging it with your intent of protection and placing it near the front door.
Crafting small witch ladders to hang around the house.

"How do you know that you're gods/saints are listening?"
I just do.
"Yeah, but do they send you a sign?"
Sometimes. Not always.
"Okay, but like you definitely feel it when-"
Hey, look, if I'm being honest, I've always just assumed they're listening. Always. That's the thing about my magic. It's also my faith, and in order to practice I kinda gotta, ya know, have some.

Aphrodite is there when you compliment a random stranger's outfit, or smile at someone in passing, or when greeting an animal that you may or may not know. love and beauty is shown in a variety of ways

Offerings for Apollo, the Greek god of the Sun, Music, and Poetry…etc.
1: Music related objects. Since he’s the god of music, music related ANYTHING will work as an offering. Time to break out those old 2016 vinyls you bought and never used because you remembered you couldn’t afford a record player!
2: Art related things. Not only is he the god of music, but also art. Paint, oil pastels, or even PENCILS could work.
3: poetry. Yeah, this is self-explanatory.
4: Archery stuff. Own a bow and arrow you never used? Use it as an offering, Apollo will love it.
5: Frankincense, Laurel, Apples, Hyacinthus or Cypress. These are ALL things he represent.
6: Your own art of things he represents. Highly recommend. He also represents dolphins, lions, griffins, and swans.
7: Anything golden in color. Seriously. Own some gold hoop earrings? Trust me, he’ll take ‘em.
8: Depictions of the sun or anything related to the sun and light.
9: Golden cakes. Yummers.
10: Orange juice. Or any yellow juice, actually.
11: Yellow Jasper and sunstone. If you saw my Selene offerings post, you should know what to do with these. Use them in prayer, or blessing your tea!
Have fun working with Apollo! Good luck! ☀️

☀️Deities☀️
I see so many people criticizing others over their relationships, or lack thereof, with their deities, so here are some reminders:
Not having deities is okay.
Having just a devotional relationship with your deities is okay.
Having a working relationship with your deities is okay.
Playing games with your deities is okay.
Harmless jokes with your deities are okay.
Doing fun things with your deities is okay.
Doing devotional offerings for your deities is okay.
Giving physical offerings to your deities is okay.
Not being able to do certain offerings for deities is okay.
Having an altar for your deities is okay, no matter the size.
Not having an altar for your deities is okay.
Laughing with your deities is okay.
Crying with your deities is okay.
Having genuine conversations with your deities is okay.
Being unable to hear/see deities is okay.
Being able to hear/see deities is okay.
Not being able to communicate through divination is okay.
Using divination as a key element in communication is okay.
Not calling on deities during spellwork is okay.
Asking deities to help during spellwork is okay.
Asking deities for help in general is okay.
This is your relationship with your deities in your practice. Don't let anyone tell you what you can and can't do. 🫶
It's 2am, please forgive me if there are any mistakes!

"Why should the gods care about us?"
Why is there a video of a water buffalo rescuing a turtle stuck on it's back. Things love each other, next question.

Pagans who collect rocks they find on the ground.
Pagans who buy crystals because it makes them happy.
Pagans who have to declutter a space every time they want to make an altar.
Pagans who lose track of time sitting in front of their carefully crafted altar.
Pagans who live in the northern hemisphere trying to sort through mainstream holidays to find what’s left of theirs.
Pagans who live in the southern hemisphere and struggle to celebrate seasonal holidays and feel out of synch with their community they do.
Pagans who talk to the moon about their day.
Pagans who look into the eyes of their loved ones and find traces of divinity.
Pagans who revel in the freedom of their practice.
Pagans who worry if they’re doing something wrong.
Pagans (I love y’all so much and I’m grateful for every one of you)
Have a wonderful equinox to those still celebrating it! Blessed Be

it's okay to ask your Deities for help when you have nothing to offer in return, especially when you're scared
