Things that have helped me feel closer to my deities:
Praying before their altars (bonus points if you write your own)
Read books other than their myths (books you think they’d enjoy themselves)
Meditating with them
Learn about magickal subjects related to them
Dedicate a journal for notes and document experiences you have with that deity (including moments where they’ve assisted you and any divination conversations you’ve had with them)
Listen to their messages and follow through with them
Light incense that reminds you of them
Find artwork that feels like that deity and hang, print or save them
Divination Methods (Runes, Tarot, Pendulums, Bone Throwing, etc.)
Watch content on different subjects they’re related to (documentaries on death, relationships, crime, etc.)
Dedicate, care, and/or name pets, plants, plushies, etc to them
Learn not just their pantheon and myths but the culture that influenced them
Wear jewelry dedicated to them (bonus if you have that deity enchant them with protection)
Share meals with them
Thinking of them in passing (like “hey that thing reminds me of *insert deity*”)
Talk casually at their altars and give them an itinerary of your day
Define your relationship with that deity and refer to them accordingly (if its a more formal/in reverence, use a formal title. if it’s warm/personal, use an affectionate name.)

Embrace yourself; give yourself love
Forgive yourself of past mistakes

Listen to music that makes you feel good; dance to it like nobody's watching!

Start a flower garden, especially with roses; tend to a plant
Practice compassion, especially towards yourself
Fall asleep/meditate to the sound of ocean waves or singing birds
Listen to/sing love songs!

Have a friend's night; go out on the town together, watch movies, go camping, etc.

On The Elements: Water
Of all the elements none can be fully experienced or sensed physically in the way that water can. It soothes with its coldness, eases with its warmth, and suspends with its immersion. ‘=
Perhaps the easiest way to understand water metaphysically would be through the physical and immersive properties of water. To understand water is to understand connection that cannot be touched, only felt. For ultimately water is about two things, emotion and connection. (with many sub facets)
The astrological components of water are the energies of pisces, in the form of mutable water. Cancer in the form of cardinal water, and scorpio in the form of fixed water. All of the elements in fact can be thought of as having three different aspects to them a cardinal, mutable, and fixed aspect. This is reflected in the heavens.
Mutable water can be explained as a stream, this water is free falling, guided only by gravity and the shape of its vessel. This water forms the veins of the earth, connecting other great bodies of water and providing physical and nutritive connection where its environment deems it should flow. The mutable energy of water seeks freedom and expansion and has little shape of its own. Its mission is to spread the qualities of water between less mobile aspects itself and those things and places which may lack its resources.
Fixed water could be explained as the steadfast expanse of the ocean. However in the context of scorpio I prefer to think of the mariana trench. Fixed water is unyielding, not because of stubbornness but because of vastness. Fixed water is representative of the subconscious, the primal, and the repressed, particularly themes of emotion, and spiritualism.
Cardinal water is the genesis of water, a deep spring with frothing bubbles bursting forth from the earth. Dying the sand it soaks with itself a rich brown. Cardinal water is about bringing forth emotions and connections where they have not yet been reached. Cardinal water seeks to be the spark of emotion, the voice which advocates for emotions, and a provider of spiritual sustenance.
Magically the correlations between water and practical magic differs very little. The focus however does become just that, practical. . The energy of water can be harnessed for many task it is most suited for those task which align with the following correspondences:
Emotion
Soothing/easing
Healing
Cleansing/washing
Divination
Spirit work
Protection of the emotional body
Illusion
A brief summary of plants associated with water and their proclivities:
Chamomile - this is also a solar herb, it is excellent for cleansing, soothing/easing, and healing or balancing egoic issues, it can be used in love magic
Rose - A venusian herb extremely attuned to magic of beauty, glamors, love, relationships, the thorns carry a fiercely protected energy that is not shared with with petals.
Aloe- a lunar herb. This herb is a healer and protector of peace.
Comfrey - a saturnian herb known for protecting travelers, and spells of healing and exorcism
Marijuana - A saturnian herb, known for its use in spells of divination, illusion, protection, cleansing, and healing.

I'm thinking about His Dark Materials again. Specifically the societal quirks that Lyra's world has as a result of everyone having their soul manifested outside their body in the form of dæmons. It's one of the most fascinating examples of worldbuilding I've come across tbh
Some of my most favourite tidbits:
Dæmons are named by the dæmons of the child's parents
It's taboo to touch another person's dæmon, but this is learnt, not instinctual
Children often settle arguments through their dæmons, with one accepting the dominance of the other (eg. Pan hissing at Annie's fox daemon in the first book to get her to back down)
The fact that people can tell when someone lacks a daemon even though they can be hidden out of sight (like a mouse in your pocket)
To the inhabitants of Lyra's world, looking at someone without a dæmon is like looking at someone without a head
These extra pieces of lore just make the world seem so magical but believable at the same time

🌟 The Essence of Seashell Divination:
Seashell divination is an ancient practice that harnesses the elemental forces of the ocean to illuminate inquiries of the soul. The Seashell Divination Kit offers a refined and purposeful approach to this age-old tradition, providing seekers with a channel to access profound insights and attain clarity on matters of importance. Each shell within the collection serves as a vessel for the boundless wisdom encapsulated by the vastness of the sea.
🐚 The Significance of Each Shell:
Conch Shell 🌀: Emblematic of life's eternal spiral, the conch shell is a symbol of cyclical renewal and spiritual evolution. It is a venerable guide for those seeking transformation and a deeper understanding of their spiritual journey.
Cowrie Shell 🐚💰: Revered across cultures for its association with prosperity, the cowrie shell serves as a conduit for energies related to abundance, wealth, and the manifold blessings that life bestows.
Scallop Shell 🌸: Radiating with the essence of love and beauty, the scallop shell imparts insights into matters of the heart, relationships, and the pursuit of harmonious equilibrium.
Auger Shell 🔍: Characterized by intricate spirals, the auger shell serves as a key to unlocking hidden knowledge and solving enigmatic mysteries. It is a beacon for those seeking to expand their awareness and unravel life's intricate puzzles.

Intent Clarification: Articulate your intentions clearly, opening your heart to the profound guidance the seashells are poised to impart.
Discernment of Shells: Trust your intuition as you select a shell from the collection. Each shell resonates uniquely, responding to the energy of your specific inquiry.

***I understand that cursing is a controversial topic for some people. I don't believe in the threefold's law or whatnot, so such things aren't a concern for me.

some ideas for non-verbal spell casting:
so i’m a pretty quiet person irl, and i find a lot of spellbooks and posts on here include verbalization in the form of incantations, mantras, et cetera.
which is all well and good if that works for you, whatever floats your boat and casts your spell; but what if you’re like me and verbalizations make you uncomfortable?
or you’re practicing late at night while your housemates are asleep?
or you just. prefer to not speak?
well, here are some alternatives!
say your incantation internally
visualize your incantation
make your incantation physical (could you add movement/gestures to your spell?)
make it symbolic (breaking something, binding something, burying it?)
use a noisemaker! (eg. a bell, clap, a song, note, chord, etc)
simply do without! not every spell or ritual needs a verbal component, and maybe you’re just not that kind of practitioner. that’s okay!
i’m sure there are tons of things that i’ve left off or forgotten, and i definitely want to hear more ideas if you have them!
wind be with you!
