im very sorry for asking this and please ignore it if its too much but,

have you.... ever been... su1c1d4l during your journey? did it... i dont know, ever make your deities feel... disrespected? like, you cant stop feeling so depressed and hopless and it just sort of hurts them? something like that? im sorry i dont know how to phrase it

thank you for reading this im so sorry if it triggered you or anything

Greetings, sweetbee. I'm so sorry you're feeling this way, please, don't feel worried about reaching out to someone about this. I'm happy to help. 🩷🩷

Okay, so... Baby bee, it doesn't hurt deities when you feel depressed. When you battle suicidal thoughts. Or anything else that falls under those categories. Self harm, abusive environments, ect. They don't expect you to live for them, they don't expect you to suddenly become happy and for your mental illnesses &/or struggles to just pop out of existence because you're now worshiping or practicing.

Because they understand it.

I believe gods were once human a few times. I believe that gods understand the conditions, the harm, the - well - everything. They aren't going to approach your vulnerability with demands.

Now... I did struggle with it. I still do from time to time. I dealt with suicidal thoughts and depression since I was in the 2nd grade. And, in no way did it ever... Harmfully impact my relationship with my deities. My self harming never made them disgusted, they never judged me for the ways I'd cope, for the triggers I had, for the needs they met during my toughest times.

Yes, you can live for a deity or deities. I actually do it. It saved my life. But it's optional. And they won't feel - betrayed, or something like that because you cannot say with certainty you'll live for them. That you'll survive for them.

I didn't have a reason to keep living, I didn't see one. And that's why my deities became it. That's why we swore it to one another. Not out of obligation, not out of fear of them being hurt from otherwise.

In my experience, the only hurt I've seen from my deities regarding my mental issues and ect, was - well - the pain it caused me. It pained them to see me in pain. But it didn't make them want to leave me, it didn't make them irritated or feel disrespected because I cried in their presence. They didn't feel disrespected when I had so many fears and doubts that I for a long time couldn't even believe they were really... Real.

Deities know the difference from fear, from sorrow and pain speech, to disrespect and blatant hateful speech. They know your intentions, even if you yourself do not.

It can hurt your deities when they witness their beloved going through such a hard time. When they see them going through abuse, torment, and inflicting that pain on themselves, or seeing it as they deserved it/ect.

Deities want you to live a life that makes you happy, that's - healthy and loving for you. For your soul. They don't want to see their loved devotee/practitioner off themselves, to cut or starve themselves, to punish themselves for what other people did to them or what they feel is deserving of doing so. If that makes sense. They want to help. To be there. To try and let you see that you are lovable, that there is a life out there for you, that - you're worth it.

Apollon witnessed my depression firsthand when I started practicing. He didn't scowl at me when I was crying my heart out. Snotting and gasping, just - being a very big mess in front of him. He didn't see me as weak or as disrespectful. In fact, I've found out that deities - enjoy it. Well, not seeing you so upset, of course. But they enjoy that you trust them enough to do that with them.

To let yourself be so - raw. To feel these deep, stabbing emotions around them. From what I've experienced, they love being able to comfort their sweet ones. They love being able to tenderly hold them and shower them in kisses &/or kind words. To - reassure them.

Apollon listened to my vents night after night, he held my hands and let me know I was heard. I was - seen. I was loved.

Despite how much I feared love, despite how much I thought nobody would ever be able to understand, my deities showed me just that. Understanding, love, care, gentleness, and everything else I thought I never deserved. Especially not from beings so beautiful and perfect in my eyes.

You don't need to be scared to show your emotions around your deities. To show them your wounds. To - show them your pain. Just as, you don't need to be afraid to show them your happiness. Your interests. Your safe spaces.

Your deities want to be there for you, I promise. 🌼

The importance of

💐🐝give and take🍯💌

in Witchcraft and

Spellwork

🌼🌻🌱🦋🌎🦋🌱🌻🌼

♡☆♡☆♡☆♡☆♡☆♡☆♡☆♡☆♡☆♡☆♡☆♡☆♡☆♡

When it comes to spellwork, energy work, manifestations, and just witchcraft in general,

Giving is a very important part of the process. In the universe, you cannot expect to receive something without giving back. When you plant a seed you give it time and care and In return it gives you harvest. You care for a cow and it gives you milk. Certain things require more work/care than others, different plants need more care than others, some cakes take more ingredients and money to make. It's the same with magick.

Giving Energy

Energy is one of the most common gives of a beginner and even advanced witch. Whether it be from crystals, moon/sun water, the self, or a kind plant (ie. burning a bay leaf), energy can be given quickly and with low effort, making it great for spells/manifestations/etc requiring less charge to work. Although, unless you want to leave your whole body thoroughly drained, it's not recommended to use energy alone for a bigger spell, or bigger ask.

☆Other ways to give☆

Offerings 🎁✨♡☆

You don't have to worship a deity to leave offerings! You can simply offer it up to the universe, mother nature, animals, or something that relates to the work you're doing. The item should have value to you, or have taken effort and work to create. A few examples would be:

Leave milk and honey on your altar or pour it into the soil

Leave bird seed/food for birds 🐦

Throw native flower seeds In sparse areas for the bees 🐝

If you garden, offer your first and last harvest

Lighting candles

Throw things into fire (herbs, grains, flowers)

Incense

Compost

Actions of service (healing rituals for earth, rituals for worship, etc.)

Designating a seed/baby plant for a specific spell and caring for it long term

Caring for yourself and stick to it, acknowledge and appreciate the gift that is your body

Sex

Bl**d from your monthly cycle

A note:

If doing work for deity, research some common offerings or things they enjoy, as they have rather specific tastes and not everything can be an offering for them. (You could accidentally offend them)

Sacrifice💌🙇🏽‍♀️

Okay before you freak out thinking we're gonna harm someone or something, realize that's not the only kind of sacrifice you can make. It means giving up something you absolutely cherish and really wouldn't casually let go.. It's definitely great for charging up powerful spells. A few forms of sacrifice are:

Donating your favorite clothes to a woman/mens shelter

Giving away prized positions

Selling important items, like beautiful crystals or jewelery

Giving away half your food to those who need it

Giving up technology or 1st world luxuries for a week or amount of time you choose

Giving up bad habits

Cutting off bad friends/sources of bad energy

Giving away extra of anything, only Keeping what you need

Giving up negative attitudes towards people

A few more (extreme) sacrifices that could be unhealthy to a certain extent and you should be cautious of:

Emotions such as happiness, anger, sadness, gratitude, etc.

Life Energy

State of health physical or mental

Life necessities

Time

Relationships

Responsibilities

Commitments

Things to beware of

Always always always make sure you know what you are offering or sacrificing, because sometimes you can give up something you didn't mean to give away...

Try to make sure you aren't giving up too much or too little, as it might have an impact in your craft. Try to weigh the value of what you wish the outcome to be, and offer something of the same value.

Have a wonderful day my love! ♡☆

If you ever have any questions, feel free to ask away in my inbox! ♡

How to activate your Sigils

Hi, Lovely Souls! ✨🔮🧿🍂

I thought that I would share how to activate your Sigils/how I prefer to activate them :)

Hope this helps!!!

start by setting a clear intention, then close your eyes and imagine that it’s true. I like to think of a situation that the sigil might help in, like if it’s for protection, and imagine that no harm can be done to me in these anxiety-filled situations

draw your sigil on paper then rip it, burn it, or dissolve it into water. do so by repeating the intention, such as “ I am protected from all harm” until it is completely gone

place your sigils everywhere. on the back of your door, in your phone case, in your car, mirror, on your hand.. EVERYWHERE

trace them into things such as tea or draw them while/if you apply productions to your body (good intentions could be “I am energized” or “I am beautiful”)

make a spell jar with the sigil on paper and on a bay leaf. gather all the materials for your intention and wax it closed. shake whenever you wish to activate the spell/sigil

meditation with it. hold it in your hand or draw it on your skin

ask for your deities/spirit guides blessing over the sigil

here is a website explaining how to create sigils if you are not sure how! blessed be🖤🧿🔮 https://magickalspot.com/how-to-create-sigils/

disclaimer: based on personal experience

a tip that helped me a lot for money/prosperity spells/bowls/jars/etc:

you don’t have to use the color green

this is especially for people who are from/live in countries where bills aren’t green! for example, the ‘highest value’ bill where i’m from is blue, so that’s the color i use for my money bowl 💙

#ive been getting A+ results so far #and idk connecting wealth to the color blue is just easier for me??#but yeah its helped a lot !!#bee talks #witch #witch tips #magic #money magic #magick #money magick #money jar #money bowl #spell tip #witch advice #spell advice

[⁺🎙️✧] dear diary. notes: notes from changing the 'I', by Neville Goddard. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━▼

The world is thought. ‘Your life’ is just a reflection of these thoughts. Everything and everyone acts on behalf of your thoughts.

But, you're not your thoughts. The being you call ‘I’ is God/Imagination. The state ‘God’ occupies is the thought that you’ve accepted. The ‘I’ is permanent, but everything after that can change easily. ‘I’ associates with any state it chooses based on whatever reason. i.e. ‘I am powerless.’, ‘I’m that bitch.’, ‘I have shit parents.’, ‘I am insanely wealthy but lonely.’

Trying to change your life by any other means than changing your thoughts is completely useless.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━▼ SELF CONCEPT; ‘I’

“No man can come to me unless I call him. You didn’t choose me; I have chosen you. No man can take away my life, I lay it down myself. Nothing can take away anything that is a part of the inner arrangement of my mind. Everything you gave me, I have kept. Nothing can be lost except the son of perdition or the belief in God. Nothing can be lost but the belief in loss, therefore, I won’t assume loss of anything you’ve given me that is good. And so I sanctify myself that they be sanctified in truth.” — John 6:60-71 Neville uses this Bible verse to explain self-concept and what we should know about it, basically;

— I’m the only one who can change me.

— I’m the only one who chooses who I want to be.

— Nothing/No one can stop, change or fix me but me.

— Nothing/No one outside of me can dictate anything in my Imagination/Power.

— The only things that can be lost, is self-destruction or believing in my power.

— I change myself to change my world. According to Goddard, one of the main reasons changing the self can be hard or confusing is because we don’t really look at ourselves. We like having someone or something else to blame. The minute you're asked to look at yourself, or hold yourself accountable, you might be ashamed of the person you've been making excuses for, justifying etc. especially when you know about LOA.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━▼

HOW TO CHANGE ‘I’.

Take a non-judgmental look at yourself. What’s your honest description of them? Who are you really in your mind? Describing them, the world, an SP, literally anything, will tell you who you are.

This ‘self’ is the sole cause of your world whether good or bad.

Next, accept them. Don’t ignore them, be ashamed etc. Come to terms that this is you now, but it won’t be you going forward. When you make peace with it, you can change it.

To change it, all you have to do is assume you’re whoever/whatever you wanted to be. Doesn’t matter how. This ‘new self’ isn’t something you get to put on and take off like a mask. If you ever go back to your ‘old self’, that’s on you for failing your new self.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━▼ HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?

It can be right now, it can be years; because it depends on how natural it feels for you. Wear the new self until it feels natural. Show up as this ‘new self’ everyday and assume this is you, assume it’s completely natural. This doesn't mean go around affirming you're rich every second, it's just you living in the end, how would you act, what would you do, what would you hear people say about you etc. Don’t let the idea of a ‘long time’ get to you, because that’s just you assuming it’ll take a long time. You control everything, remember?

Once it feels natural, the world must change. The change HAS TO BE instant because you are God and your will is continuously and absolutely being done. There is nothing to ‘become’ because all things have already happened, you just choose the state you want and live in it.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━▼ HOW TO KNOW YOU'VE CHANGED.

It’s pretty obvious that you’ll know considering your world changes instantly. But, another sign is your reaction. Are your reactions to the thing/your world the same as before or have they changed to match your new self? If not, then you haven’t changed.

You're not looking for a mood change. You’re looking for a change in consciousness/thought. You do this by staying in your new state until it feels natural. And once it feels natural, you’ll naturally have no choice but to keep feeling like that. This is why discipline is so important. How consistent you are in those first few moments to change yourself depends on how dissatisfied you are with your old self or not having the state you want. If you can’t set your heart on this new state and embody it, then you will never change.

A spell with few and poor ingredients but strong intent will always be stronger than one with many and rich ingredients, but little or no intent.

And no, I won't be taking second opinions on this.

Ever since I can remember I've had really bad nightmares. Eventually as I got older, it got to this point where I had developed insomnia and anxiety associated with sleeping. It sounds so dumb, because sleeping is a super basic natural function so why was it so stressful?

Over the years I learned a lot about sleeping, how humans are designed to sleep and how stress, trauma and anxiety can lead to problems getting a good nights sleep. I also learned how unproductive people are simply because we are tired all the time.

I first ran into this chant reading an article that interviewed a spiritual medium. I am no medium, I do not communicate with spirits on the reg nor do I help people talk to their dead relatives. However, the chant still really helped me put up some barriers when trying to fall asleep.

The chant isn’t really a ‘chant’ but a series of visualizations that I throw up right before I go to sleep. It takes about a minute and I never forget to do it.

Before you fall asleep, while you are laying in bed with your eyes closed, say this:

I ask my spirits and guides to watch over me and keep me safe when I sleep.

I ask for protection from all ghost, demons, spirits, negativity and anything else while I sleep.

Now imagine in your mind a bright white circler of protection around your room keeping you and wherever you are sleeping inside safe.

That’s pretty much it. Super easy. Feel free to modify it in anyway that works for you. (The original chant was different but I changed it to work for me.)

Sometimes I also picture a massive ‘gate’ and close/lock the gate to lock out anything I don’t want in my head or dreams while I’m sleeping. This is also super effective.

In addition to this chant I also sleep next to a hunk of Black Tourmaline and a Selenite, but work with whatever crystals vibe with you.

In the end I don’t know if it’s really ghost keeping me up at night, or just the ghost of my own stress and anxiety manifesting in the creepy-ness. Like I said I am not a medium so I don’t play in that space. But regardless this simple chant has helped me for YEARS so I wanted to share it.

*Note sleep disorders are serious business, in no way is this advice to be taken in precedence of a doctor. If you are seriously suffering from insomnia or anxiety please seek out professional help. This chant is only meant to aid in sleeping or getting a good nights rest, not a cure for a serious medical condition.

Yo do any blogs know anything about making hexes/curses for shitty fucking abusers via the spell bottle method? All I have that I think I can probably use is broken glass, cayenne pepper, black pepper, paprika (?) and I've been wondering if I'd be able to use gravel from a driveway to manifest the feeling of being crushed and walked all over? Any advice is appreciated, whether you just have tips or suggestions or if you know of any spells yourself.

Hi, sweetie, how are you? I see you work with Freyja. She is a goddess I would like to start working with but I don't know how to start, any advice? I would like leave a candle with her runes as an offering. But I don't know what kind of protection I should use to avoid calling other kinds of spirits or energy since I've never tried to work with gods or goddesses before and I'm scared to summon something other than her. Thank you if you take the time to reply 💚

Hello my love!! I'd love to give some advice on freyja!!♡☆

Freyja

Freyja is one of the most approachable deities you could work with. Freyja taught the Aesir Seidr, and enjoyed teaching others about the art. She would love to work with you as well, but only if you are ready to recieve.

I believe one of the best ways to contact her is through trance, as that is how she herself did magick.

Offerings are a wonderful way to start building a relationship before you try to meet. I've discovered she really loves apples and chocolates. She also enjoys tangerines. But one of the biggest offerings that she really loves, is the act of s*x. Doing that stuff in her name. Ever since I formed a stronger relationship with her, s*x with my partner has been insanely amazing, which is a benefit I suppose to working with her lol.

You need to understand her, and what she is about. She is a warrior, a völva, and a goddess of fertility. She is the goddess of the vanir, daughter of njörd, twin sister to freyr. She is the goddess of pain and pleasure. I recommend that you read about her before moving forward, and familiarize yourself with the elder futhark as she mostly communicates in runes. (At least for me)

Smaller acts to build the relationship

Fighting for what you believe in

Embracing your body

Doing what you want to do and not listening to haters

Taking care of yourself

Meditation

Trance

Learning seidr

Read the poetic and prose edda

Bath time

Wear amber

How I contacted her

After a building the relationship a bit and reading about her, I decided to try and reach out to her. I made a concoction of mugwort and lavender and drank it 30 min before entering a special bath. I burned incense and candles and myrrh and made a verbal ward. I turned off the lights and I lay in the water for about 30 min and meditated on my intention "show me how to begin" (in terms of learning seidr and worshiping her) and lots of runes were revealed to me in a specific order and afterwards when I wrote them out it gave me a message and I followed it. It may not be as straightforward for you, or it may be slightly different, but there are also guided meditations on YouTube that you could use.

As for protection:

Wards. Warding is your best bet as you can set your own conditions and keep randoms out and freyja in. Ward the space that you're going to do it. Ward your mind. Ward your body. Just make sure the conditions aren't too tight.

Let me know if you still have questions! My dms are also always open if you'd like to discuss things more privately ~☆♡☆~

Catfishing After Death

Did you know you can be catfished by the dead essentially?

I know right?

I’ve said before in previous witchcraft posts that spirits will pose as other spirits that you may be trying to contact. This does not exclude gods (which is why I reblogged that post about godspousing). Yes, some are bold enough to try to impersonate a deity. And I do mean bold, cause I’ve never heard of the ruse lasting too long.

As I’m sure you can imagine, they don’t take too kindly to that shit.

This is happened to me once and I do mean once. A spirit was posing as my late beloved and I was fuming once I found out.

So, I thought I would give you some tips as to make sure you’re talking to the right spirit.

Cleanse cleanse cleanse

As you probably know. They’re stubborn. They will stick around if they’re strong enough to withstand it. If it don’t feel clean, it ain’t. Do it again.

Clarifying

A lot of the time, how these trickster spirits make you believe they are the role they're playing is by gathering information that to make them seem more credible. You have to outsmart them a bit. Go for something both you and the correct spirit would know and then say something wrong. A lot of the time (but not all the time) the spirit will just perceive it as correct and go with it. That's a way to know someone's not who they claim to be.

Vibes

Some rely on you not being able to feel the difference. But they cannot truly replicate the other spirit and they definitely can't replicate a deity's presence. This is usually where they'll pull "I'm weak in this form do you can withstand me," or even the good ol' "you're special/the only one who can help me" bs. A deity would have no problem showing up. And if they don't want to show themselves to you and are adamant on you just trusting them...you're probably dealing with a fake. If the vibes are off they're off for a reason.

Your own judgement

Don't let these spirits make you second-guess yourself. You know what's up. You can tell the difference. You'll know when something's off or wrong. Discernment takes a lot of practice and a bit of time. But I know you all can do it.
