Forgot to post these, here is a quickly coloured version of my Apollon sketch! A helpol discord server I'm in asked to use it for a banner for an Apollon ritual event, and I am so so honoured ( ´ ▽ ` )

- walking back from campus
- I see a little pile of rocks by the road
- I smile and say “Khaire Hermes”
- something rustles in the tree directly above me
- a giant fucking magpie flies between two branches directly in front/overhead
- I guess he heard me.

Hey, guys, sorry to do this, but please pray for me and my family if able and willing. Lord Hermes and Lady Hestia maybe? Literally pray to whomever.
We may not have a place to put our belongings when arriving in our new house that we just drove halfway across the country (with five pets and a U-haul) to get to. The seller is being unreasonable (due to shitty advice that her agent gave her, I guess; fuck these people) and will not let us store our things in their home, despite the fact that the closing date was pushed from Friday to Monday due to someone else fucking up. This is out of our hands, and we really fucking need help, so if you can and are willing, please pray; that's all I ask. It's ok if you don't want to, though, obviously; do what you're comfortable with.

Devoting things to Lady Aphrodite
Devoting my skin care to Lady Aphrodite,
Devoting taking care of myself to Lady Aphrodite,
Devoting doing my hair and makeup to Lady Aphrodite,
Devoting taking care of my body to Lady Aphrodite,
Devoting painting my nails to Lady Aphrodite.
Devoting things to Lady Aphrodite has helped me care for myself more, because I know she'd want me to take care of myself, because she cares for me.

It's kind of mind boggling to me how every time I see book recommendations for Hellenic or Roman polytheist I never see On the gods and the world by Sallust.
It may not teach practical ways of worship but it answers a lot of philosophical questions about the gods that I think we, as pagans, have at some point asked ourselves. Seriously, some of the points made by Reddit ath3ists are answered in this essay, like they're 2000 years behind.
It's very short (like 50 pages long) so if you can buy it, pirate it or get it from your local library I'd highly recommend it. Here's an audiobook in case you prefer that.

Hello internet witches!! I’m not exactly in the closet per se, but I am fairly private about my practice. I also work with multiple deities closely and wanted to way to wear something for all of them at once. Anyway my solution to this problem was to make beaded devotional braclets with colors I associated with my deities. You could get more elaborate than I did even.
In order top to bottom we have Aphrodite, Artemis & Hestia

~ 🌷 Positive Affirmations and Reminders! 🌷 ~
- Your craft is on your schedule! You do not have to do things in a specific amount of time. Something that took someone else a week to learn, may take you longer and that is okay!
- Your deities will remain patient and understanding with you as long as you are communicating with them! If you need a break, Tell them. If you do not want to do something or speak to someone, Tell them. Just be respectful and communicate!
- You do not have to do fancy ass rituals every week or whatever. If doing something really simple and basic works for you, Just do it! Rituals can honestly be so draining and tedious!
- You do not have to practice every day! Sometimes life happens and for one reason or another, We can’t/don’t practice every day!
- Trial and error! If something does not work or does not go the way you would like it to, Don’t give up. Figure out what you could change, Apply that knowledge and understanding the next time you do it then see what the results are! Rinse and repeat as many times as you need to!
- Our companions (dogs, cats etc) moods can be affected by energy that is present in our space or by our own energy. If you are having a bad day or something goes wrong in your craft, Be mindful about how it affects your companions. Give them a lot of love and protect them (spiritually) if needed! Our companions can also help with meditation so go to them for extra support if needed! My dog helps me relax and stay positive which helps me meditate because then I can clear my thoughts quicker/easier!
- Take everything you see on TikTok, Discord, Tumblr etc with a pinch of salt. Always fact check and cross reference any information you find on these platforms! Not all creators are harmful but I have seen a fair few promoting things that belong to closed practices, spreading false information, getting their supporters to do spell work/manifestations without consent of others (love spells for example) etc!
- Do not feel bad about not working with entities or deities! For some people, It doesn’t work out for one reason or another and that is nothing to be ashamed of! Do not beat yourself up over it!
~ Thank you for reading ~

Today I was sitting on a swing in the park because I was waiting for my plans to start and decided to offer the moment to Selene. And even though it was day and there was no moon for my Lady, she accepted it.
At first I just felt lightheaded but second later she closed me in a "bubble" separating me from the world and it's noises (I've been having terrible headaches for five years constantly).
I'm so grateful and thankful for the protection, Lady Selene🌙

Teehee yesterday I was feeling really tired and unmotivated and I just threw myself in bed and was like "Apollon I am s t r u g g l i n g" and literally the next second my Nana called me for funsies and I got a solid energy boost
Maybe telling the gods how I feel sometimes is wise
Anywho I sat in the sun and did homework and MAN was that nice

Had a sweet chilling out time with Apollo the other day as I was coming home from uni. Sat on a sunlit spot in the train and a guy wearing a yellow shirt started to play violin beautifully, it filled my heart with joy. I love to see and meet the gods everywhere I look 🩷
