I've Decided That Vocal Stims Can Also Be A Sign That A Deity Is Present

So I understand why we have alters/shrines for deities, and I have two separate ones for Hekate and Loki.

But how about also having an alter/shrine to ourselves? Worship ourselves like we would the gods? We are spiritual beings, and I think we deserve our own worship as spiritual beings but also as self care and self-love to ourselves. (Especially if we struggle with that!)

I heard about someone saying to image your a demon in a humans body that you have to look after but what if we made a shrine/alter for ourselves and treat ourselves with that respect and devotion we show to a deity?

I'm thinking of trying it and seeing how it goes.

things i’ve learned as a shifter who has shifted both awake and asleep

(if you know you know)

everything is up to you, therefore you determine if you shift or not

a lot of people back out if they’re scared. use your fear as an affirmation of you actually being there, use it to ground yourself. you are perfectly capable of shifting, despite the feeling of fear. you will shift and it may be scary, use it as a tool to keep you there

in my experience, i’ve felt things when i shift. i also have not felt anything change and still shifted. it can be both. yes you don’t need “symptoms”, but you can still feel things.

 that being said, you don’t need to feel anything or everything to shift. 

if you believe something, it will happen. if you think something won’t work, it won’t work!

shifting is instant, you can be in any reality at any moment! time is fake!!

using methods is not completely useless, they may not work for you and you should do things that feel right for you but being completely against tools that can help is like going backwards instead of forward.

at the end of the day, shifting is up to you. 

nobody can make you shift but yourself, and there are a bunch of tools out there for you to use. the best and the biggest tool is you.

i was also told it would be funny if i shared that i shifted in the shower butt ass naked and wide awake before so take that as u will

you have no idea how much comfort i get from shifting community on tumblr, it’s literally like we are one huge family, we are supporting each other, giving tips, etc. i love you all soooo much i wouldn’t be here without you 🫶🫶🫶

we will shift! i know that!

i don’t worship ares but i have soooo much respect for him as a protector of women, proud supporter of his amazonian daughters and an affectionate lover to aphrodite

ares gynaecothoenas you will always be famous ♥️

In season 1, when Nick cancelled their date and said he felt like he had been stifling a part of himself and asked if she understood, she said yes.

In season 2, she said that she had very quickly gotten over Nick and casually announced that she had a crush on Ben now. I remember passively being reminded of when I would "pick" a boy to have crush on. As soon as one - like Nick - wasn't available anymore, you just pick a new one.

She was always there. I love her.

Boy crazy comphet lesbian Imogen, you have my heart.

YES WE ARE BECAUSE ALL OF US HAVE DECIDED TO SHIFT AND BECAUSE OF THAT WE WILL!!!

IM SHIFTING TONIGHT AND SO ARE YOU!!!

Writing for your deities is such a liberation. It's a way to pour out your feelings, to write them down not only for your deities to see, but also for you to better understand. It doesn’t matter if you see yourself as a "good writer", or a "bad writer". Prayer and poetry are always magnificent when written in honor of what you love, and what you believe in. Sure, the prayers you write may not hold as much meaning if shown to others, but that is precisely the beauty of it. Something that is written from you to the Gods is absolutely sacred.

OH MY GOSH THESE TWO COMMENTS ARE THE REALEST EVER 😭

Ares is often summarised as the god of dumb war. I don’t feel that’s entirely accurate. Ares is the god that represents the passion of war. The rage, and despair, and love that goes into war.

Incidentally this is the exact sort of war that goes on in a litter of puppies as they play fight with eachother.

In conclusion: ares is the god of puppies

ANYWAY.

Lock in. Shift when you're scared, shift when you don't think you will, shift instead of procrastinating, shift when you have doubts, shift without a right mindset. Nothing at all matters. Focus on your destination.

I have seen countless posts like this, but this is truly what matters the most. Keep going. You got this.
