glory & song to apollo! i sing to thee, golden among gods! may this song be as sweet as your own, may my fingers be as nimble as yours — teach me, oh glorious one of  radiance, to shine as you do. honey touches your lips, spills golden as you turn your face and illuminate. golden god,  swift and reaching, may my words & song be a delight  to your ears. i pray for your wisdom, for your ever learning  heart to teach me. i wish to see as you see, to know as you know — the world opens itself like a flower freshly blooming in the golden light of your day. grace my fingers with your golden  touch, inspire me to do as you do! oh, sing! rejoice! delight! may the world open up before me, every place that embraces the golden light of your sun, and may i have the boldness to  go! give your light to my eyes, to my hands, to my feet so that i may go where even the shades fear — unbowed & unbent.

You know I really think I’m ready to finally abandon the whole “life purpose” concept. It’s too constricting, limiting, and very anxiety inducing. Instead id rather embrace the idea that there are multiple paths I can take to happiness and fulfillment. Also, I have a lot more to offer the world than just one thing.

Sometimes the gods will seem like they aren't there, but they are.

Sometimes you will feel like a small child learning how to ride a bike. You can feel the hands on your shoulders, you can hear their voice close by. Then, suddenly, you don't feel their hands and their voice is farther away.

They didn't abandon you in your time of need. They're watching you take everything they've taught you to apply it. They've got the band-aids if you need them, and they're standing at the top of the driveway watching.

They cannot pedal that bike for you. They cannot hold onto the bike so you never fall.

They're watching you and they are proud. They are proud even if you fall down or crash.

Don't panic. Now's your time to show them what you've learned! Go as far as you can. You're not alone.

I’d love to see someone convert to Christianity then say they prayed for the downfall of Jesus or something 💀 it’s almost as if witchtok’s focus on glamorising witchcraft and paganism and framing it as a movement centered around individual empowerment (in contrast with the community focus of organized religion) while neglecting to acknowledge the nuances of the history of these practices and the responsibilities associated with them will attract people who simply want to feel special and godlike... like, can witchtok stop framing our practices and beliefs as a countermovement to abrahamic religion or as some sort of movement aiming entirely to rebel against the norm?

I do not know if this’ll make sense, though. I haven’t given it that much thought.

Witchtok is Witchtoking Again.

So there's some witch going around claiming they cursed/hurt Hekate and is now going for Persephone and Hades next.

This isn't a cause for concern for our deities and not why I'm making a post here. This is for my beginner witches or for anyone who worships anyone who may not know things like this.

Let Me Make One Thing Clear

This witch didn't do shit to Hekate other than possibly piss her off. I don't even need to contact her to know this witch didn't do shit. Hekate is a fucking goddess for fucks sake. Not to mention she is a goddess of WITCHCRAFT. Even if this witch had an iota of a chance, they wouldn't touch her or any deity for that matter.

But trust me, she could definetely touch them.

Bottom line: Don't worry about your deities when someone claims to have hexed/cursed/done anything to them. (Because this stupid shit will probably happen again.)

They are fine and they will be fine. Untouched. Probably just insulted at the very worst. Which trust me, ain't no skin off your nose when the karma hammer comes down, cause it won't be coming for you.

Some of us remember the Hex the Fae/Hex the Moon bullshit. This is this...again. Because some people never learn. But you can learn from their dumbassery.

DON'T. TRY. STUPID. SHIT. LIKE. THAT!!!! (See, I did my job.)

Also...

This person is doubling down by trying to go for Persephone and Hades. Which is just double dumb. If they somehow didn't piss off Hekate, they're gonna piss off one or both of them. Especially because they claimed they were going to force divorce them.

Good luck with that. And by good luck I mean they're probably fucked if either Persephone or Hades decide to do something about it.

I need y'all to understand something. I don't care how powerful you are, you will never hurt let alone beat a god. Anyone who claims otherwise is a fool and will get what's coming to them tenfold for the pure disrespect.

WHO IS HEL?

Hel (or Hela) is the daughter of Loki, the trickster god and the Jötunn Angrboda and sister to the monstrous wolf Fenrir and the Midgard serpent, Jormunganr. Appearance-wise, she is “half living”; where half her body is described as being heart-achingly beautiful, and “half dead”, where the other half of her body is described as the pale flesh of death and the rotting flesh that comes after.

Odin, the All-Father and ruler of Asgard, sent Hel to the realm of Helheim where she was to rule over the souls of those who had died a “dishonourable death” - this refers to the death of those who did not die in battle but have died of natural causes, sickness, old age etc. This gives her titles such as Goddess of Death, Goddess of the Underworld etc. (NOTE: Those who die in battle do not directly go to Óðinn. Freyja gets the first pick of warriors and those she chooses go to Fólkvangr, only then does Óðinn get to choose his warriors for the Valho̧ll from those who remain).

HONOURING HEL:

The various ways I honour Hel:

I built Hel an altar that consisted of a statue of Hel, black candles, black crystals (See above in “Associations”) and a black altar cloth.

Make offerings to Hel – she tends to like coffee and dark chocolate, but I also burn incense on the altar for her. I also light a plain black candle dedicated to Hel.

Hel’s Incense – See above in “Associations”.

I meditate on the Hagalaz rune.

I say prayers in her name to my loved ones that have passed away.

I leave offerings for my loved ones who have passed away, this is mostly a candle, incense, a small dish of their favourite food.

Clearing up the graves of the dead whenever I walk pass and see rubbish left around it or fix any flowers or wreathes that might have fallen over.

Doing anything creative for her is something that she loves. I made a gemstone bracelet to represent her so that I can wear it everywhere I go and connect with her even more. The bracelet is made of Black Onyx beads, Skull beads and the Halagaz rune bead; all these things are associated with Hel.

CONNECTING TO HEL:

How I connect to Hel is by taking a walk through a cemetery where I can really contemplate on Death and connect with the energies of the dead around me. I also do meditations in the cemetery to tap into the death current. Whatever I hear, feel, smell and think of during my walk (or during my cemetery meditations) I always write down in my journal.

Sometimes I call upon her with a simple invocation before asking her directly for guidance. I use Tarot Cards to communicate with her following an invocation or sometimes I just meditate on the spot and wait for any images or sounds to appear in my mind’s eye that could potentially be a message from her.

I play dark, tragic and brooding instrumental music out loud, which helps me relax and contemplate on a lot of things. I also listen to a lot of Viking-inspired music to help me connect to her. I also read a lot of gothic literature, which inspires feelings of grief and longing as a healthy way to let all those feelings out, Edgar Allen Poe’s poetry is one of my personal favourites to read out loud for Hel and I to enjoy together.

MY MEDITATION – ENCOUNTERING HEL:

The first time Hel appeared to me was when I was simply daydreaming, I heard faint whispers of “Hela… Hela… Hela…” in my mind. Before this happened, my mind was completely blank and this was at nighttime as I laid in bed. I thought that this was very random, but nevertheless, I understood these words and felt inclined to close my eyes and meditate in case there was a message for me.

Hel was very unfamiliar to me and to be fair, I am still getting to know her to this day. Deities are very complex with their many different layers, personas, and energies. In general, if I ever feel like a deity is reaching out to me, I focus on the energies I feel from them and meditate on it. Doing so helps me get a “feel” of them, their energies, their intentions, their story. I tend not to look them up because I always want to feel their raw, unfamiliar energies personally and not let their mythology affect the way I sense or view them. I then take note of it in a journal and then proceed to read about them afterwards to see if my interpretation of the deity matches that written in the literature. I always believed in trusting my intuition.

In this meditation, I found myself being transported into what looked like the inside of a cave, however, part of me felt like this was no ordinary cave because it was not completely dark and obscure like caves would usually be without a torch to light the way. This cave in my vision had a pale light blue light seeping through from somewhere. I also noted there were white/pale blue crystals around me among the rocks that made up the cave’s walls.

In the cave, a child approached me. She had long silvery-white hair and pale white skin and icy blue eyes. I also noticed she was wearing a grey torn-up viking dress that was up to her ankles and that was also covered in dirt (perhaps she had been in this cave for a while trying to find her way out of it). She did not seem like she was afraid or lost, in fact, she was quite the opposite. She saw me, playfully touched my hand, smiled and giggled and happily ran away.

Not long after, a woman appeared in the direction the little girl ran off to. She had long raven black hair and was wearing a long, black dress. Her appearance reminded me of a crow.

She just stood there and stared at me, studying me. We stared at each other without saying a word to one another for a while. Later, the little girl I saw later reappeared and joined the woman. Were they mother and child? I had no idea, but they most certainly knew one another and seemed very close. They held hands and suddenly, a flash of light appeared above them and then they disappeared…

Standing in the spot they were standing was another woman with her back turned towards me and partly covered in the shadow of the cave although part of her was also under the pale blue light of it. She slowly turned around to face me. As she turned, I saw from the light that she was indeed very beautiful. Youthful, glowing and with an air of mystery around her but I could not help but feel a sense of brooding and grief in the air too. I could not tell if she was smiling or not for she also looked as if she was pained and in sincere regret. When she finally turned to face me completely, that was when I realised half of her face was disfigured.

It was not just her face, the other half of her body that now revealed itself from the shadows as she stepped forward, half of her body was either rotten or in the process of rotting away. I admit that this image frightened me, and I felt my heart beating and I also felt myself going into fight or flight mode. However, I could not move and stayed rooted on the spot, just staring at her. I could not scream but I know my jaw hit the floor at this point, to be in shock is a complete understatement.

This was Her, this was Hel and I was in Helheim. I probably should not have come here.

I stood there as she limped over to me, she was limping because she was trying to drag her “dead half” with her. The dead half of her was completely limp. I noticed the half of her that is “alive” is also had toned arms and legs and has somewhat of a four-pack, possibly from dragging that “dead weight” for so long. She took my hands in hers; one of her hands was pale but felt very warm, I even felt a pulse from it, a sign of life. The other hand, rotten, decayed, skeletal but still covered in strips of tissue felt cold and dry, and majority was bone, it made me flinch. I also noted the smell of rotting flesh and perfume (I assume is what her live half was wearing at the time) as she stood in front of me.

I finally had the courage to look up at her, into her eyes. One eye was a beautiful sapphire blue, while the other eye was blind, white and lifeless and barely hanging on in its socket as there was no eye lid to support it. I tried to ignore all that and she smiled at me. Her lip curled into a small smile, whereas the skeletal half of her face already looked like she was smiling since all I could see were her exposed teeth. The image of Hel then faded, and I slowly came to, back to the mundane world.

I am still in the process of interpreting this message but I believe the main thing that Hel tried to convey to me was DUALITY. Half beautiful, half rotten and decay. Half alive, half dead. Woman and child. Black and White. Shadow and Light.

HEL IN MY LIFE:

Whenever I think of, work with and connect to Hel, I have always felt a sense of brooding and grief, darkness and mystery, there are also times when I feel fear. She is most certainly a compassionate deity when she wants to be, but most of the time, she is detached, cold, stoic and does not really take sides. She also does not mind what you do in your craft or in your life. She basically gives off the impression of, “You do YOU as long as you do not impede on others.”

She prefers to not interfere with anything and would rather watch you. I always feel like she has her eyes on me, watching every move and decision I make, wondering what will happen next. She sometimes expresses curiosity and fascination with me; I interpret this as even though she is a Death goddess, she still likes to be involved in the lives of her children where she can watch them live in the way they want until they pass away from this world and she welcomes them into her realm with open arms.

I never really got over the fear I feel sometimes when I connect with her, but then again, I believe that was her intention. The whole point is to feel uncomfortable and never get used to this feeling. I remember sincerely apologising to Hel later for reacting so negatively towards her, but she told me that she took no offense and that it is a good thing that I reacted in the way that I did towards her.

She wants to constantly remind me of how I feel whenever I encounter a shadow of mine. This fear is a projection onto her. It is almost as if she is a mirror image of all the “bad” and “evil” things of myself that scare me, make me uncomfortable and make me want to run away from. Since she constantly pulls out the shadows from within me to make me feel extremely uncomfortable and makes me face them, I ended up doing Shadow Work with her as my guide. She always asks me, “Are you truly afraid of me or of the things I remind you of when you look at me?”

She is aware that half of her body is Death itself, but it never bothers her. Even though she literally must drag the other half of her body along with her wherever she goes (literally the dead weight of herself), she acts like she had gotten used to it over time and does not let it stop her from doing what needs to be done. The fact that physically, she gained muscle from dragging her dead half around for so long indicates that she gained strength from her ordeal.

I see Hel and see that this dead side of herself is like her very own personal shadow, except that, she is at peace with it and living in harmony with this side of her. She is an example of someone who had integrated their shadow into their life and has reached the point where she no longer needs “Shadow Work”. Only a deity is capable of this because to me, Shadow Work lasts a lifetime. As you grow older, the more Shadows form.

I admire her so much and this is why she is my role model. I strive to become like Hel and so I have dedicated my entire life to Shadow Work with her. I believe that I too can live in harmony and be at peace with the parts of me that I tried to cast away. I want to unapologetically bare my real self and feel nothing but pride. I want to uncensor my own ugliness.

Hel also eased my fear of death and completely changed my perspective on it. I view death as an end to something and the beginning of something new. I view death as a transition. Death also leads to rebirth. It is very hard and painful to let go of things sometimes, but it is necessary in order for you to move forward with your life. You come out of that situation stronger.

I used to be so afraid of the idea of dying and leaving behind all my loved ones. I also struggled with the death of loved ones, losing my Father was the one that hurt me the most. When he left, I felt a part of me die with him. I remember it took a very long time to heal and move on with my life. I was trapped in never-ending grief and was consumed with so many negative emotions like guilt, pain, rage.

What I felt is indescribable, but I remember telling my therapist that “Losing Dad felt like there was a hole in me that can never be filled by anything or anyone and I had to learn how to live with a part of me gone, but at the same time I somehow still felt severely depressed. It is not normal, it did not feel normal, nor did it feel right. I felt so numb and so empty yet despite that a part of me had died along with him, I was still able to feel negative emotions that reminded me that I was still alive.” Thinking back to that moment, it feels like Hel was with me all along, but I never realised until much later, she was there especially during those times where I felt, “half dead and half alive”.

Nowadays, I have accepted and even embraced death. Hel made sure that I was ready for when that time comes. To live your best life, you must also embrace death. As for the death of my Father, I had finally come to terms with it and vowed to live the best life that I can. I also realised that he is not truly gone because as long as I remember the memories of him, he will live on inside of me.

Hel, queen of the underworld of the same name, is a goddess of death, dark magick, sickness, and plagues. being a goddess of death, she is also a goddess of change and transformation.

Hel carries a dish called “hunger” and a knife named “famine”, along with her two servants, Ganglot and Ganglati. It is said that they move so slowly, it seems that they are completely still.

Unlike the deities Odin and Freya, her realm is home to those who died of anywhere other in war or the sea, like sickness, childbirth, or those who died as children.

There was one incident where she was willing to give Odin’s son Baldur back to the Gods if everything living and dead in the nine realms weeped for him. This did not work, for there was one giantess called Thokk who did not cry. Other than this exception she was willing to make, if you enter her realm after death, you cannot return from there. Queen Hel has a power over death the other deities do not have, and therefore her decisions on who goes to her realm are usually final.

Some believe that those who die at sea go with the sea deities Ægir and Ran, while others believe Aegir, Ran, and Hel all have a say on where they go when one dies at sea, depending on how they die

Queen Hel’s existence is highly Christianized, therefore to those who don’t worship her may be scared of her, as I once was. They see her as a demoness or an evil being. While yes, she may be seen as evil given her role in Ragnarok, she is not a tyrant.

In my experience, she’s more of a motherly figure. She is one you call on when doing spirit work, grief work, death work, protective and baneful magick, and trauma work.

It’s Saturday, which is her day of worship, so Hail Queen Hel.

Subtle Witchcraft Tips

(coming from a closeted witch of 3-4 years)

stitch sigils or runes into your clothing - use a thread that’s the same colour of the fabric for extra subtlety

use bandanas to veil

display certain items as if they’re just decorative - all of my crystals are on a shelf and when my family asks i just tell them i like crystals! they’ve now assumed i’m a geology nerd lol

look into tea magick! tea is such a powerful tool for witchcraft and simply stirring your tea with intention can be a form of magick

if you wear makeup, paint sigils on your face with your foundation or concealer before blending

similarly if you wear nail polish, paint sigils on your nails

use perfumes or body products with certain scents that correlate to certain meanings e.g my shower gel and body oil are both lavender scented

create a shoebox altar - this makes it small and easy to hide

household herbs and spices can easily be used in spells!!

remember that a pendulum doesn’t have to be a fancy crystal on a chain, any small weight on a string can work just as well

any basic candle can be used in spells

research the correspondences of wearing rings on certain fingers

i love doing kitchen magick!! it’s so easy to incorporate into everyday life without blatantly being a form of magick

house plants can be great in magick

i know i briefly mentioned sigils before but don’t underestimate how powerful sigils can be!!

create small spell jars that you could easily hide

and remember: your craft is uniquely your own. don’t let anyone tell you what is and isn’t required to be a valid witch. i’ve had to be subtle about my practice for years and it’s taken a while for me to realise that i’m just as much of a witch as someone who openly practices.

blessed be <3

Deity Worship Notes: Loki

Loki is known as a trickster god in the Norse Pantheon, being neither good nor evil but his goal is to create chaos among the living and the gods. While his biological father is a giant known as Fárbauti, Loki is counted as a member of the Aesir, which includes; Odin, Frigg, Tyr, as well as Thor.

Loki is also known to be a shape shifter, as well as being described as male, female or neither. An example of this is when Loki, disguised as a female horse was impregnated by the stallion Svaðilfari, then proceeded to give birth to the eight legged horse known as Sleipnir.

He is also the father of Narfi/Nari, Hel, the wolf Fenrir, as well as the world serpent known as Jörmungandr. Loki is married to Sigyn.

Loki is not a picky god, offerings to leave for him include; alcohol, sweet foods, foods that are the color red, random toys (on my altar he has a pickachu toy that I found one Halloween), randomly found objects (Another item on his altar is an ordinary brown rock that I found on a walk), candles/incense like cotton candy, dragons blood, mulled wine, or cinnamon. He is fond of those who do Devotional services for children, especially children who have been through trauma or disabilities and disfigurement.

Over a course of time while working with Loki you will discover hodden truths, from others or yourself. While he may be the god of chaos and a trickster, Loki is a patient one. He would rather you be comfortable than ready to work/worship him.

In personal experience with him he had come to me when my life had become to stagnant, a lesson is always around the corner when he suddenly requests offerings, or is suddenly in my thoughts.

Messages from him through tarot decks often include Death, The World, and The Tower cards. Through oracle cards it always starts with "change is coming, you cannot stop it."

Crystals associated with Loki: Pyrite (fools gold), clear quartz, moldavite, obsidian and goldstone.

Colors associated with Loki: Gold, Green, Red, White, Black, Brown and Yellow.

Below is the most common symbol that represents Loki.

If you would like my personal experiences with Loki, my Ask Box or DMs are open.

I’m honestly so scared and disappointed by the responses I’m seeing to this. If you hear, see, or feel things that are not there, if you hear the voices of your deities as they speak, see them physically with your own two eyes, or feel them touch your skin when there is nobody in the room, you are almost certainly hallucinating. Please do not trigger psychotic episodes in your attempts to experience spirituality. Be careful my loves. If you suspect you’re experiencing abnormal symptoms, please see a doctor.

Also, I really hope this didn’t sound mean or come off as hate towards anyone on or under this post. I only want our community alive and well.

Much love to you all!!

Anyone else feel like they can feel their gods when they talk with them (weather it be when doing tarot spread to communicate, when praying, or other divination). And I don’t mean in like a feel their presence but like get the sensation of touch?

For example this happens a lot with Loki, who I’ve started working with, like I get the feeling of him draping himself over my back and watching the cards over my shoulder, like I feel him there. Another prime example is Thanatos, I often kinda feel him just hold my hands when I’m at his alter .

This is so wholesome 😭

Locks of red and untamable spirit

Wild and cunning, that none may miss your wit

Laufey’s son of many faces

Hear my call and guide my path

May we bask in your blessing and graces

Protected always by your holy wrath.

Though I am to your workings blind

Your laughter crackles at the back of my mind

Loud and clear when you are at ease

Yet warm and sweet like the summer breeze.

Our love for you knows no end

And each day your stories we sing

So that our wounds you may mend

And your wisdom to us bring.

Across the seas may you ride

Foretelling the end of all

Neither do we cower nor hide

For we stand proud and tall.
