My Vibes Arent Off I Am Cursed Theres A Difference

Hand Crafting Ideas for Offerings/Devotional Acts

I wanted to make a list of ideas for those who don't feel like drawing or painting, but still wanted to create on behalf of their Gods!

•Make fake flowers for them out of paper/tissue paper

•Cross stitch/Embroider them something they're associated with. Im embroidering a teapot for Hestia!

•Needle felt their sacred animal

•Devotional Jewlery Making (necklaces, bracelets, earings, prayer beads, ect.)

•Sculpt clay figures of your Gods/animals

•Make a polymer clay keychain/coin that reminds you of them so you can have them with you everywhere you go

•Making little trinkets/offering plates/dishes out of resin

•Wood carve their sacred animal

•Woodburn an offering plate or a pendulum board. You could also woodburn a box to keep their offerings in

•Make candles/wax melts for your Gods with scents curated to them!

•Make incense cones! They're surprisingly easy!

•Make bath bombs to take a devotional bath

•Make a specific soap to wash before prayer

•Make a diorama for their altar. I use foam/cardboard/and plastic trash for dioramas!

•Crochet/Knit an altar cloth! For more advanced, make a stuffed animal, veil, or devotional clothing

•Printing pictures/find magazines and make a physical collage of your God/their symbols/things you associate with them

•Build a mini temple for you Gods out of popsicle sticks or legos

•Take pictures of things you associate with, whether it be part of nature, animals, cozy places in your home, bodies of water, sunsets, ect.

•Start a little scrapbook of your deities

I was super inspired to make this because of the ask @khaire-traveler received the other day where they suggested origami for Apollo!

Thanks to @healing-water-witch for giving me the idea and contributing!

You don't need a patron deity for your practice to be valid, nor for you to be worthy of a deity's time and attention.

Some offerings / devotional acts for Lord Lucifer

- poetry (or art of any kind)

- self care in his name!

- a dedicated candle dressed with herbs that are associated with Him

- prayer in the evening, trusting Him to sit by your side until you fall asleep

- prayer in the morning for a good outlook on the day

- music! playing music, writing music, listening to music,…

- therapy

- taking your meds

- sharing a drink with Him (coffee, tea, wine, anything)

- shadow work!!!

- watching the sunrise

- any kind of magic in His name

- divination

- trying out new things and getting out of your comfort zone

- human rights activism

- focusing on yourself

- questioning authority and standing up for yourself

- enlightenment, learning and pursuing the arts

- studying philosophy

- befriending your local neighbourhood crows

- getting Him scented candles that smell like His associated herbs

- making Him a Pinterest board

- making a playlist with songs that remind you of Him

- learning how to properly ward and protect yourself (magically)

- dedicating a piece of jewellery to Him (and asking Him to bless it)

- making a journal for Him (digital or analog) with prayers, tarot spreads, offerings and information about Him (I recommend this for every deity, honestly it’s really useful and a great way of showing devotion)

- learning more about Him and common misconceptions associated with Him (especially in Christianity)

- wearing clothes that radiate His energy and make you feel confident

In the end, any offerings you give Him are valid and will be appreciated, as long as you put some thought into it. Don’t worry if you can’t give Him the things you’d like to give Him, He will accept anything that comes from a place of love and devotion.

fuck it sure

I am happy to present my own Wamily’s version of finding your signifier card using a Tarot deck.  (Wamily, just in case you don’t know, is a witch family.)  

Please keep in mind that this is a practice passed down and developed by a handful of witches related to me, and isn’t the process that every cartomancer uses.  I hope this helps you on your witchcraft journey!

My own signifier card was found when I was a wee little witch.  I chose the Chariot (which, if you know me personally, is Salt through and through.)  My strengths and limitations are very much found in this card and I am drawn to its imagery indefinitely.  

Comment with your signifier card once you find it!  I am excited to see what you receive.

did u see them btw...

Y’all asked for it so y’all gonna get it! I’mma start off with the barebones essentials and work my way to basic definitions. Sit down on something comfy and get yourself your warm beverage of choice and maybe grab a notebook because here goes.

What are runes?

Runic alphabets have been around since about 150 AD and used as a writing system by a lot of Germanic languages. These systems were eventually phased out, slowly but surely, with the progressive Christianisation that started around 700-1100 AD. The three most commonly known (and used?) Are the Elder Futhark, the Younger Futhark and Futhorc.

Runes aren’t, themselves, broadly meant for divination, thought there are a few passages in the Eddas that mention Odin “finding” and using them.

Keep reading

have to say tho, i was kinda sceptical about doing divination at first because i thought it was just tarot. so you can imagine my surprise when i saw dice and playing cards and casting runes are also divination methods. i was curious enough to try out dice and playing cards and like. y’all. they actually Work.

dice are a bit finnicky, at least the 3d6 method, they’re very vague and give too little information (and my rolls have all been So Low, but maybe that’s because my dice don’t like that they’re also used for dnd and were kept in a big pouch of dice with little regard) but that doesn’t matter much because i use them in addition to playing cards.

now Those? i fucking Love. i’ve used them to speak to lucifer (and it was really fucking nice, he’s so kind and reassuring… also might’ve been testing me but i’m not sure, my intuition with cards isn’t the best by question 3, i get tired really fast) and today my cards told me that Yeah, asmodeus is Definitely sending me signals. again, by question 3 the answer was jumbled, but it could’ve(???) been asmodeus trying to talk directly to me? i’m not really sure. but when i was shuffling the cards to end the reading, a card jumped out and it was like my deck wanted to reassure me or like. solidify that This Will Happen. when i realised, i had to laugh a little because damn, my cards are so good to me.

so yeah, since those two methods work Beautifully for me, i bought a tarot deck off vinted. the. smith waite centennial one i think? yeah. the illustrations are Gorgeous. i’ll be taking some precautions before i actually use them, like cleansing them and using a protective sigil on them, introducing myself, etc etc. i really can’t wait until they arrive :33

What Constitutes An Altar?

An altar, a sacred space used for worship, meditation, and magickal practice. It serves as a focal point for spiritual energy, spellwork, and connection to deities/spirits, ancestors, or personal intentions. However, an altar doesn’t need to be elaborate or expensive—its power comes from the intention, not the appearance. There may be some debate on the topic, but ultimately an altar is a space created with intention and spiritual purpose, and that's as specific as you can get. This is because each altar is as unique as it's creator and their magick.

Essential Components of an Altar

An altar can be as simple or elaborate as you need. While traditional altars may have statues, candles, tools, and crystals, a minimalist or budget-friendly altar can be just as effective.

Basic Elements of an Altar:

• Surface – A small table, shelf, windowsill, box lid, or even a cloth spread on the floor.

• Representation of Spirit/Deity/Intention – This can be a photo, a symbol, a small figurine, or even a handwritten name or sigil.

• Personal Objects – Anything meaningful like jewelry, a cup, a handmade charm, or natural objects from your environment.

Elemental Representations (Optional):

• Earth – A rock, salt, soil, a small potted plant.

• Air – Incense, a feather, a piece of paper with a prayer or spell.

• Fire – A candle, a matchstick, a small LED light.

• Water – A small bowl of water, a seashell, a vial of rainwater.

Creating an Altar with Limited Space

If space is a concern, you can adapt your altar to fit small or temporary setups:

• Portable Altar (A Box or Pouch) – Store sacred items in a small wooden box, tin, or fabric pouch and set them up when needed.

• Wall or Vertical Altar – Use a floating shelf, a corkboard, or wall hooks to create a sacred space.

• Digital Altar – A private folder on your phone or computer with images, prayers, and intentions can serve as a modern altar.

• Hidden or Foldable Altar – If privacy is needed, keep items in a drawer or behind books and only bring them out during practice.

Low-Cost Altar Ideas

You don’t need expensive ritual tools—many everyday or natural items work just as well:

• Candles – Birthday candles, tea lights, or even an LED candle.

• Incense Alternatives – Dried herbs (like rosemary, sage, or cinnamon) burned in a small fireproof dish.

• Crystals & Stones – Local river stones, shells, or even broken glass polished by the ocean.

• Offerings – A piece of bread, a drop of honey, or fresh water.

• Statues & Symbols – Print out images, draw sigils, or create simple handmade representations.

• Chalice Alternative – Any cup, mug, or small bowl can be used for offerings.

• Wand or Athame – A twig, butter knife, or even your own fingers can direct energy.

Maintaining & Empowering Your Altar

• Keep it Clean – Even a simple space should be treated with respect and intention.

• Change It with the Seasons – Add seasonal items like leaves in fall, flowers in spring, or snow water in winter.

• Use What Feels Right – Your altar is personal—only include what has meaning for you.

• Charge It with Intention – Light a candle, say a blessing, or simply sit in meditation to empower your sacred space.

An altar is not about luxury or appearance—it’s a personal, sacred space where you connect with the divine, your inner self, or your magickal practice. Even in a small, low-budget setting, your altar holds immense spiritual power when built with intention, meaning, and respect.
