☀️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!

✨❤️ Attracting Love Spell ❤️✨

Creating a love spell can be a powerful way to manifest your desires and attract your ideal partner.

Here are some steps to help you create your own love spell:

Ingredients:

🌹Rose petals

🌹Cinnamon

🌹Rose quartz crystal

🌹Red candle

🌹 Incense (jasmine, rose, or sandalwood)

Steps:

❤️ Begin by cleansing your space and yourself. You can use smudging herbs or burn the incense for this.

❤️ Set your intention: Before you begin any spell, it's important to know exactly what you want to manifest. Take some time to think about the kind of relationship you want to have and what qualities you'd like your ideal partner to possess.

❤️ Light the red candle and the incense.

❤️ Hold the rose quartz crystal in your hand and focus on your intention for love and passion.

❤️ Sprinkle the rose petals and cinnamon around the candle, forming a circle.

❤️ Visualize the energy of love and passion flowing into the circle and charging the ingredients.

❤️ Let the candle burn down completely, and let the incense continue to burn for as long as you like.

❤️ Thank the universe, your tools, and any deities or spirits you called upon for their assistance.

❤️ Close your circle or protective space.

Remember, love spells should always be created with pure intentions and respect for free will. It's important to never try to manipulate or control someone else's feelings. Focus on manifesting love and happiness for yourself, and trust that the universe will guide you to the right partner.

With these steps, you can create a powerful and effective love spell that aligns with your personal intentions and desires. Best of luck in your magical endeavors!

Daily Devotions with the Orphic Hymns

Today is 4th of Metageitnion (21st of August)

This modern system of daily devotions blends material from two sources: Hesiod's sacred month, as described in his Works and Days, and the Orphic Hymns. The ideas in the Orphic Hymns sometimes don't match with more mainstream beliefs of the polis. But using these hymns is worth it because it helps us honor not just the main gods, but also many smaller ones. This way, we can pay our respects to a wide range of gods throughout the whole month.

Other hymns may of course be substituted at the individual's discretion. The numbers given for the hymns correspond to those in Apostolos N. Athanassakis, The Orphic Hymns: Text, Translation and Notes

Thomas Taylor's 1792 translation of the hymns is available online, free and in its entirety, at the Internet Sacred Texts Archive. Here:

Morning and Evening Devotions

Morning

Wash hands and face

Light lamp or candle

Hymn to Hestia (#84)

Light incense

Hymn to Eos (#78)

Hymn to Helios (#8)

Hymn(s) to special god/dess(es) of the day (see chart)

Additional hymns as desired (see chart)

Pour libation

Make personal supplications and thanksgivings

"Orpheus to Mousaios" (pp. 2-5)

Extinguish lamp or candle

Evening

Wash hands and face

Light lamp or candle

Hymn to Hestia (#84)

Light incense

Hymn to Nyx (#3)

Hymn to Selene (#9)

Hymn to the Stars (#7)

Hymn(s) to patron/matron god/desses

Hymn to Sleep (#85)

Hymn to Dream (#86)

Pour libation

Make personal supplications and thanksgivings

Hymn to Zeus (#15)

Extinguish lamp or candle

A shortened version of the devotions may be done by simply lighting a candle, reading "Orpheus to Mousaios," saying any personal prayers, and extinguishing the candle.

Notes on chart:

Days mentioned by Hesiod as sacred to specific deities are marked.

Horkos is the god (or, if you like, personification) of Oath. Days sacred to this deity are considered difficult.

As the lunar calendar months range between 29 and 30 days in the Greek reckoning, it may be necessary in short months to recite all the hymns for both day 29 and day 30 on the day of the dark moon. As the last day of the month is sacred to Hekate, Her hymn should always be included.

About Incense

The Orphic Hymns specify particular types of incense to be offered to each deity. In cases where one is saying multiple hymns with differing instructions, one might either choose a single type or make a blend of all those indicated. Pure frankincense makes a good all-purpose offertory incense.

The incense specifications from the Orphic text are as follows:

Frankincense: Apollon, Ares, Artemis, Asklepios, Bakkhai, Dike, Eos, Hephaistos, Herakles, Hermes, Hygeia, Kouretes, Muses, Nike, Satyros, Silenos, Tethys, Themis, Titans

Myrrh: Leto, Nereus, Poseidon

Storax: Chthonic Hermes, Dionysos, Eleusinian Demeter, Erinues (also frankincense), Graces, Kronos, Semele, Zeus

Aromatic Herbs: Adonis, Athena, Eros, Eumenides, Fates, Hera, Hestia, Horai, Nereids, Nymphs, Okeanos, Rhea

Various: Mother of the Gods, Pan, Chthonic Dionysos (any except frankincense), Gaia (any grain; no beans or aromatic herbs)

No Incense (underworld deities): Hekate, Nemesis, Persephon

Embracing the whispers of ancient forests, dancing under moonlit skies, and honoring the divine within and without. Paganism, a path of connection, wisdom, and reverence for nature's magic.

Pros and Cons of Having an Altar

Disclaimer: this post is based on my opinion, and should be taken with a grain of salt.

When I first started my path in paganism, I was taught that altars were 100% needed. For some, altars may be a comforting aspect of their practice, something to keep motivation, or even a way to show devotion. In reality, altars can be anything you want them to be.

For me, though, no matter what I tried, altars just weren't something I could keep up with.

This was something I didn't realize until now, and I needed the help of a deity to tell me (thank you, Athena!). Noticing the pattern of the love-hate relationship I had with altars was hard. When I finally saw, though, getting rid of my altar was a huge weight lifted off my shoulders.

This is not to say that altars are not good, or not helpful. They can be anything for anyone. So, instead of telling you how altars are big, bad, evil places, these are my pros and cons to having one.

Pros (for me)

Showing devotion to a deity/multiple deities.

Having a reminder of your practice around.

Motivation for continuing your practice.

Having a space to keep your things.

Having a space to go to for prayer, deity work, spell work, etc.

Cons (for me)

Can be difficult to upkeep.

Pressure to do more/be at the altar more

Can be draining of energy

Might cause burnout

Time consuming to build, keep, etc

There are many more reasons as to why you should and shouldn't keep an altar, and ultimately, the decision is up to you. If you want to have an altar, but you don't think you can keep one, here are a few different ideas!

Devotional journals to deities

Book of shadows

Minecraft altar

Draw/paint an altar

Dedicate an item to your practice and use it

Use jewelry/clothing to create an altar (color magick, crystals, etc). This one is sort of like a bring-the-altar-wherever thing.

Imagine your altar in your head/Meditate

Music altar (playlists on spotify, YouTube, etc)

Pinterest board altar

Use a candle as your altar space; light it wherever you're doing work, praying, etc

Remember: your practice is yours. No one else can tell you what to do inside of it. Altar or no altar, deity or no deity, glamor magick or crystal magick, green witch or divination witch– all of these are what you get to decide for yourself. Don't let other people define you!
