the biggest thing I’ve gained from my practice is the ability to let myself feel
i spent so much of my youth terrified to feel anything and then i started my craft and reading about ancient deities who were flawed and beautiful and who let themselves feel whole heartedly and suddenly i wasn’t as afraid of the rage or sadness I’d kept inside for so long
suddenly i could let myself feel it all without letting it overtake me

Me: Artemis, I have a problem. I really want to cast more spells, advance my witchhood, and utilize my magic more but I’m always so tired at night.
Artemis: Do you think I’m a vampire???
Me: …what??
Artemis: Do you think I’m only running around at night and have some kind of aversion to the Sun??
Me: …no
Artemis: Then why do you seem to think your witchhood can only exist at night?
Me: Uhhh…
Artemis: You know the Sun is an extremely powerful energy source, right??
Me: But the Moon….???
Artemis: Yes the Moon is magnificent, glorious, groundbreaking, elegant, powerful, beautiful, stunning, showstopping…
Me: Be gayer, Artemis.
Artemis: MY POINT is that the Moon isn’t the only energy source to draw from so if you’re struggling to connect with your witchhood at night then switch to a different time of the day. Working with the Sun instead of the Moon doesn’t make you any less of a witch. Do what works for you and stop confining yourself.
Interestingly enough after I had this conversation with Artemis, @theoi-crow and I had a whole discussion about the underutilization of The Sun in witchcraft. I’m thinking of bringing that discussion here if you’d be interested in hearing my perspective. But for now just know that your witchhood is not dependent on casting your spells at night or working with The Moon. You define who you are as a witch and it’s completely okay if it looks different than the “norm”. Just as Artemis says “Do what works for you” 💕

i wasn’t in the path of the total eclipse and the picture i did get did not get the entire vibe of the grey desaturated lighting but i still had a wonderful eclipse! i set out cards for Apollon and Artemis on my altar and because it finally feels like spring more than it has since the equinox, i lit some pink candles and rose incense. i also made some eclipse water to cleanse my altar with and do rituals with. i hope everyone had a good eclipse if you could see it!!

eclipse posting because i am an apollo devotee <3
(i don't touch on it much but a big part of my classics studies is that i am a pagan that follows hellenic polytheism. pics included that reveal no faces)
it was so fabulous to see the twins in full interacting today. i live in an area where we got 94% coverage. artemis & hera also showed up!! a friend of a friend was also wheeling around their amp playing their eclipse playlist (total eclipse of the heart, beserk theme, any of bowie's space songs.) wonderful day all around.

Greetings~!
My name is Des, which is actually my craft name, but don't worry about it. I use he/him usually, but I'm also testing out they/them right now. This is subject to change. I'm genderfluid, aroaceflux, and bi.
I've been interested in witchcraft, divination, and deities since I was about 11, but I've only been seriously working since I was about 16. For reference, I'm 19 now. My practice is very off and on because of my mental health, so my interest in this blog may wax and wane.
I'm a Lord Apollo(n) devotee, and I have been since I was 16. He has helped me immensely with my art and divinatory skills. I can never thank Him enough.
Capricorn ☀️ Leo 🌙 Scorpio 🔺

#witch stuff - reblogs and posts pertaining to witchcraft
#tarot stuff - reblogs and posts pertaining to tarot. I may add tags for other forms of divination in the future.
#deity stuff - reblogs and posts pertaining to deity work and veneration generally
#misc stuff - anything that is either unrelated to the subject of this blog or doesn't fit in the above categories
#apollon specific - reblogs and posts specifically about Lord Apollo.

I’m on a trip currently for the solar eclipse and I bought a bunch of crystals. It’s annoying being away from my altar space but I have a ton of tea light candles and have been meditating with my new crystals
