Making a mistake during a ritual or an offering doesn't automatically mean that your deities are upset with you. Something bad happening that falls within a deity's domain doesn't automatically mean that your deities are upset with you. More often than not, it is our minds playing tricks on us. Worries, anxieties, fears - these do not equal fact.

It's easy to fall into the trap of assuming that every bad thing is a punishment or some obscure way of conveying upset, especially when you come from a background of interpersonal and religious trauma, but I assure you that nine times out of ten, everything is ok. You will be ok. Your deities likely aren't upset with you. Sometimes shit just happens.

Do not tell me that Thanatos hates humanity,

for how is death to hate us if He is there to greet us at the end

Do not tell me that Thanatos hates humanity,

for how is death to hate us if He stays with our bones as they decay

Do not tell me that Thanatos hates humanity,

for how is death to hate us when He holds us in our grief

Being so afraid of being wrong that you can’t move is actually the worst thing you could do for your practice.

You aren’t imposing on anyone.

You aren’t insulting the Gods. Arguably, you don’t actually know what would be considered insulting unless you’ve actually asked Them.

You’re not going to be beaten up and told you are the worst devotee ever.

You aren’t going to be told by any Deity you are morally imbalanced or impure.

The only thing the Gods are actually concerned with is the ability to get you to listen to Them which means peeling away layers and layers of trauma, biases, and patterns that take you away from Them. They would not forcibly remove you from Their attentions just because you wanted to try something new or do something that no one else is doing.

The ultimate goal of any Divine relationship for either side should always be to draw nearer to Them, not be pushed away because your discernment is inaccurate while you are learning.

Aphrodite is genuinely such a beautiful goddess. She appears to me in many different forms, sometimes a young woman with blonde hair as bright as the sand of a beach and the warmth of the sun hidden in her smile; sometimes a kind mother figure in her 50s with salt and pepper hair mimicking seafoam, wrinkles under her eyes from years of smiling, sun-kissed beach skin, who gives the best mom hugs; sometimes a with light brown water-drenched hair and gritty sand on her sparkling skin; sometimes simply a figure less, body less form of blue and pink flowing energy with a comforting hum. I love her Mother Aphrodite all her forms of beauty.

Hi! I’m sorry if my question seems to be silly, but I really was wondering.

Have you ever saw and/or heard you deities? How do you do that? I’ve never experienced something like that, but I see people sharing this sort of experience. Like… they can describe appearance, voice etc of their deities. How? I fully rely on my gut in my journey, but I do wish to see, hear and know my deities in face. So, if my question doesn’t bother you, could you share your experience and tips, please?

Thank you!

Hello there, lovely!! Your question isn't silly at all, don't worry. Thanks for asking. 🤍🌼

I indeed have! I've seen/felt and heard my deities before. And, the process to be able to do this is different for everyone.

But, for me, it took countless hours of meditation with them, I was spending so much time focusing on my already existing abilities. Like my active imagination, my sense of visualization that came from that, and so on and so forth which would eventually allow me to begin to see my beloved deities. Being able to recognize their energy soon led me to being able to comprehend their voices and feel their touches. Then that got me into the process of being able to see them.

Gut feelings are actually one of the ways you can get to learn your deities appearance as well. You could try and picture them from whatever comes to mind. A pop culture artwork of them, maybe a livened version of their statue, someone pretty on Pinterest with a few extra features, ect. Deity appearances are very fluid, and can change depending on any factor, so there's no pressure on finding out what they "exactly" look like. Because, they have no exact look. Just take whatever feels best for you. That's what it will come down to most of the time, anyway. What resonates. Like always, lol.

Actually, for about 6 months of being able to see them at first, I couldn't register their voices outside of when they would speak. If that makes sense, lol. Like, I'd understand it when they'd talk to me, but when they weren't speaking, I couldn't recall their voice, just what they had said. Sometimes, their appearance will do the same. You'll see it in the moment, you'll feel or hear them in the moment, then whenever that interaction/meditation ends - so does the...sensation? of them. You know?

For some part of my time with Apollon at first, I'd simply spend my time scrolling through Pinterest for pictures that reminded me of him. I kept them in a sort of e-altar board for him so I could go back and refresh my mind if I was having trouble seeing him in my imagination. Since, sometimes, it helps to simply - daydream of their appearances. At least for me. Getting more used to their eye colors, their body languages, imagine them speaking to you every now and then to try and have their voice be easier to comprehend, stuff like that.

Don't rush it, I can almost guarantee that you'll see and sense your deities in these ways eventually. However, they know what's best in the end. Seeing deities, feeling them, hearing them, ect - can be quite the energy drainer because of how high frequency they are and whatnot. Even if they lower themselves to some extreme degrees to be able to show themselves to us in these ways. So, if you aren't experiencing it just yet, that's probably because you aren't ready for it. Comprehending deities is a difficult task for anyone at first, and can be a persistent struggle even over months. And that's perfectly fine. Because these are celestial beings of the stars and all that other universe-y stuff, we as humans are conditioned not to believe these astral realm things because of how unlimited it all is. Of how... Ironically unbelievable the experience is.

So, even when you're sensing them, your brain will be like "mm...no" most of the time when you're first getting the hang of it. Out of the want to protect you and whatnot.

Deities will 9/10 times try their darndest to help you comprehend them by coming in appearances of like... TV characters, like I've heard some people see Loki as the Loki from the marvel series. Or, how you see book characters. There's been a few times where Aphroditus has appeared to me as a fanart of Lucien from ACOTAR that I loved and made the way I see him whenever he's present in the book. Their voices just the same. They might sound like a singer you very much enjoy, or like a comfort character of yours. I could go on, but I think you get the point, haha.

I saw Apollon as the Apollo from Blood of Zeus without ever having watched or have had heard of it, I only noticed he was taking that form after I looked up his name on Pinterest, and I just went with it. Same with Dionysus. Point is, let them show themselves to you however your brain allows them. I put so much tremendous pressure on myself to perfectly memorize how my higher self looked or how my deities looked, just to be reminded how their forms are infinite. How - they don't want you to stress over that.

They don't want you to feel less because you cannot experience them in the way another devotee can, because that's them, this is you. And they love you. And they'll meet you where you're at to help you progress and grow.

My motto for this? It'll happen when it happens, and when it does - I know they'll be refreshingly, ravishingly beautiful.

I never liked surprises, but, hey. When your deity pops out with a new look entirely and it takes the breath out of you to see it - you get more accustomed to it over time, haha.

Sorry if I dragged this on, I love questions like these lol. I hope it helped!! Blessed be. 💛🤍💛

If you’re looking for a really good shop for Hellenic statues or Kemet statues I highly recommend this Etsy shop their prices are really affordable especially on the small statues. I go for smaller in size statues for right now my Hermes statue is example but the store is a go to for these statues especially if you don’t trust Amazon. They have heroes as well if you include in your deity practice such Achilles, Minotaur, Medusa, etc. but you’ll also find Egyptian as I said, some Roman gods and goddesses, Catholic saints, and recently Norse gods. They are mostly a shop that evolves around ancient Egyptian gods. I 10/10 highly recommend if you’re looking for a good mini statue under 20 dollars. They ship pretty fast as well. I hope this helps someone in their search!

I see a lot of back and forth about whether or not you should burn incense for chthonic gods. I see plenty of lists about offerings that include preferred incense of different chthonic gods and I see just as many people who generally say don't bother because the smoke goes into the air and so chthonic gods don't receive it like ouranic gods would.

So, instead of stressing about which is proper, I have decided I'm just going to offer incense when I can because:

1. It helps my altar and offerings feel special because I only burn incense at my altar.

2. I worship Thanatos. It's common in many cultures to burn incense at funerals and in memorial of the deceased. And I think that's plenty enough reason to burn incense during my nightly prayers.

If anyone has any other opinions, especially other Thanatos worshippers, I'd love to hear them. It's just personally what I like to do in my very short time as a hellenist

So, I was doing a deity meditation just to try and not really expecting much because I always just manage to see black lol but I saw someone??? And I dont know who??😭😭 It was a (tall) man, he had a purpleish suit on, and he had some kind of staff or sceptre or smth (which was also purple). His vibes were just very purple in general. He reminded me of bats, and a rabbit also came to mind for a sec. He also had reallyy short hair. Does anyone have any idea who he might be?

I find myself wondering about what depth of knowledge Lord Apollo's mind must hold. Oceans and oceans worth of information - past, present, and future. I wonder what that must be like. For a mortal, even just the thought of it is a bit overwhelming, but for a god, I suppose such things come naturally. Imagine being able to know the future - exactly how it may happen, every single possibility for how it could turn out. It's somewhat daunting to grasp the magnitude of that.

It's interesting to me to think of the expansive amounts of wisdom that each deity holds. Their minds must be the equivalent of galaxies, filled with endless facts, lessons, and data. It's fascinating to ponder what such knowledge looks like.

If Deities came to speak with humans face-to-face, most modern polytheists would be wrong.

If called down, Deities would actually be capable of making our lives easier when it comes to working with Them and listening for Their voices. The reason why it’s so hard for people to listen for the Gods is because people don’t necessarily know how important it is to develop their own personal relationship with the Divine.

We are so, so worried about being wrong and we look to other people to tell us which way we go. But there are very few experienced practitioners, even fewer effective teachers (if any at this point) and it is the blind leading the blind.

In all of my years of working with Loki, every single time I had a problem with discernment, it was always due to other people telling me I’m wrong or that their opinion was more important than my intuition. And I believed them because they seemed more knowledgeable. My beliefs I held strongly to in the beginning of my devotion to Him were always bent down by other people thinking they know more than me even though years later, they turned out to be truer than the thoughts I had after I was in a community.

You can call it beginner’s luck, but after years of seeking community, His voice became quieter and quieter. It was when I left pagan groups that I became explicitly aware of what He actually wanted from me. Confirmations started happening, the energy became denser, and things just magically started to work out that never did before and I could hear His voice speak to me in ways I didn’t think were possible prior to this reawakening.

I’m not saying we should be without community, but community resources need to be rewritten to accommodate the fact that us in the West know very little about working with the Gods. We used to. But we have no context for it anymore within society.

We can try to reconstruct a dead culture because you feel like yours is lacking but unless you’re actually receiving direct correspondence with the Divine, you will likely be unlucky in finding Their truest nature.

Witchy Self-Care

*pulls out draft from over a year ago* ENJOY

Hi! this is a list of witchy self-care things you can do. Most of these are pretty basic on account that i wrote this ages ago but they definitely still work. Anyways, I hope these help :)

Do the dishes and dedicate it to your house spirit (if you have one) or a deity (if you're religious)

sweep/mop your floor in the shape of sigils

add rosemary (or rosemary water/essential oils) to the water you mop with to set an intention of cleansing

taking ritual a bath/shower

cleansing your energy. it's so basic but I forget more than i'd like to admit

dedicating time to yourself. it's just as important as dedicating time to your deities/other spirits

light shadow work or going to therapy. bettering your mental health also betters your spiritual.

go outside and ground yourself

take a nap (less witchy, more, I love naps. rest is important)

work out/stretch and dedicate it to an entity

do some gratitude

take 5 minutes to just sit and turn off your devices. you can use this time for anything, just take a second to get off screens and connect with the world around you

meditate. if you can't sit still long enough to meditate, just focus on taking 3 deep breathes

when you wash your face, draw sigils on your face with the cleanser and moisturiser

^do the same as above but with your body wash and when you wash your hair

say some affirmations/manifestations while brushing your teeth

just check in with yourself and see how you're feeling spiritually, psychically and emotionally. sometimes we don't actually know how we're feeling until we sit down and actually ask ourselves.

If anyone has any more to add please comment. I'll add them to the list (with credit of course)
