When I approached Ra I was apprehensive. I don’t like the idea of supremacy. I don’t jive with the concept of kingship, and my past relationship with Christianity has made me shy away from all things “Father God”. I like the freedom of choice and self discovery that I’ve found in entities like Lucifer.

But Ra is helping me heal, and in him I’m starting to find that the divine masculine isn’t so scary after all. I thought because of his nobility and position as a king, he would be harsh and picky, but he’s starting to help me understand what it really means to be a God of kings. It doesn’t mean being served and obeyed just because you should, it means being such a great and supportive leader that people want to follow you. And as a father, a good father, Ra never raises his voice at his children. He gives them the best advice because he wants them to succeed. I didn’t feel like I “owed” him respect. I just wanted to, I wanted to be around him and learn from him. I wanted to trust in his leadership and I wanted to make him proud. That’s very new for me. Having grown up without a father, I’ve never understood what that feels like.

Ra reminds me of the beauty and strength of powerful men. Men who protect and lead and encourage, men who nurture. Men who use their strength to create rather than destroy. Men who are honest and know how to love.

Ra is warm (of course) and incredibly, indescribably powerful, but also so soft. So gentle. And lively, cheerful. A smiling God. He doesn’t need to be stern and cold to summon those feelings of immense respect and honour of being in his presence. He laughs and he accepts offerings with such appreciation.

Today I gave him an offering of bread with some peanut butter and water. It’s the first one I’ve ever given. And I was overwhelmed with this feeling of him being pleasantly surprised by the peanut butter. As if he was saying “oh! Bread AND peanut butter! This is a treat!”

And something about that made me feel particularly softened. You’re the king of the Gods, the blazing burning Sun that gives all life to Earth, and yet you’re pleasantly surprised by a little peanut butter. Lol.

Today was the first time I called upon Ra for protection. I did a modified banishment of the Hexagram and called to him in his many faces, along with Horus cleanse my space and aura. I’ve never felt so confident in a protection ritual. The pure blazing energy of the sun sanitizes everything it touches. As I hummed each syllable of his holy names I felt him smiling on me. He seems to like singing and humming a lot. It was the first time I’ve ever felt right ending a prayer with “Amen”.

I could feel Mother Isis looking on us too, she seemed relieved that I’ve finally found them. Something about all this feels like coming home.

Hello! Could you make an altar guide for Goddess Nyx? And without wanting to bother you too much, Nyx is a Hellenic deity??

Just curious, I'm new to this and I wanted to know if I'm Hellenic for worshiping the Goddess Nyx.

Thanks for your attention

– Mel

Nyx is definitely considered a hellenic deity, and she plays a not-so-insignificant role in the Greek origin story. You don't have to consider yourself a Hellenic pagan if you don't want to though, it's up to you. There's really nothing special you have to do either way.

NYX

Colors: black, dark blue, purple for association with the night, anything galaxy patterned

Offerings: blackberries, blueberries, plum, dew (morning is fine but after sunset is best), dark feathers, dark chocolate, night-blooming flowers (like moonflower or wisteria), black tea/coffee, mugwort

Crystals: obsidian, black tourmaline, labradorite, moonstone (especially black moonstone), selenite, lapis lazuli, amethyst, smokey quartz

Animals: owl

also, she is associated with symbols of keys and veils/cloaks, so during your practice you might look into veiling (highly recommend if you're neurodivergent too!)

Obsessed with “slightly unhinged Brigid” because that feels correct and right in my heart

I want to do a proper drawing for her eventually I just haven’t yet and needed to get this out first

#brigid deity #brighid deity #this one doesn’t have a story necessarily attached to it #just felt right #the graceful peaceful Brigids aren’t wrong by the way there’s just also this in my mind #this personality is not strictly restricted to ‘blacksmith’ #mythology #folklore #paganism #doodles #sketch

Question for those who work with deities. Did any of you have imaginary friends growing up that you would talk to on a regular basis that now seem oddly similar to the deities you work with? I remember I had a couple imaginary friends while growing up and now I'm seeing interesting similarities between them and the deities I work with (I will admit, I had imaginary friends until I was about 16.).

That got me thinking, that maybe they had been there the whole time, but didn't make themselves known yet until I was a grown up. Maybe they knew at that time that I wasn't ready for full fledged deity work, and that I needed time to discover myself first and work through things.

Has anyone else thought of this or have this happen? Just curious.

a reminder to all the helpols, something i need to remember too; it's okay to not be able to worship and pray properly every single day, the gods will keep you in their blessings as long as you keep them in your hearts

When somebody tells you that a certain view of a deity or certain method of practice is wrong or historically isnt relevant you should always remember that modern paganism is NOT ancient paganism. The beauty of paganism is that it changes very easily throughout time, it changes from household to household. It's very difficult to assume exactly what ancient people believed in, particularly because those beliefs changed rapidly over time and geographical location even within the same civilization.

So do what you like, take history as a guide if it helps, learn from it and love it, but try not to think of it as gospel, it's just the way things were at one point and it's ok if they're different now.

Me: "I know I need to learn how to ask for things, that's something I'm working on. Self-esteem and confidence in my craft too, trusting my intuition of experience of reality and all that."

Loki: "yeah mhm."

Me: "I just don't want to get TOO confident and start missing times I'm wrong, or start asking for too much-"

Loki: "thiS IS PART OF THE PROBLEM MY GUY-"

Coins are Essential to Hellenic Worship and Witchcraft

In Ancient Greece Drachmae (the coins/currency of the time) were used not just in everyday life but honoring the dead. It was believe that coins were offered to the deceased right before they were buried. The coins were given to grant the spirits passage to the underworld by paying Charon who will ride across Acheron, a river in the underworld to the afterlife, fearing they will get stuck on the shores if they don’t have the payment to cross. Though it is a very old superstition it is still very important to offer such a gift to the spirits that crossed over, though whether you don’t believe such a belief or do about paying the ferryman the act of the gesture is a sign of great respect and admiration for the departed. Collect your spare change and don’t be afraid to use them for various reasons:

- Offer them to your ancestors.

- Place a coin on gravestones when you visit a cemetery.

- Offer coins to your deities as money being one of the great sacrifices to give to them even if it’s just a penny.

You can also do spell work with coins as charms, divination (flipping heads or tails), talismans, focal point of power, etc.

Pagan Temples

yall pagan temples were SO cool, such a shame that Theodosius and his christian amigos decided to burn them all down.

like imagine going to a Hellenic temple weekly and in different areas there is a worship area for each Olympian god. Like a MASSIVE public altar in each corner and you are given a candle and lighter when you enter and you can choose the deity area of your choice, and weekly there will kinda like, be a public praying session, aloud guided by someone at each area. Like they will recruit someone who worships each of the Olympians and it will be their job everyday to go down and take care of the altar of their god and to pray alloud.

man that would be so cool :)
