This Will Forever Keep Me Up At Night

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.

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.

divider can be found here.

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 being alive is enough reason for you to be worthy of shifting realities.

Even if you can’t hear your deities, they hear you

Even if you can’t see your deities, they see you

Even if you can’t feel your deities, they’re there and they love you

Everyone repeat after me:

Not your reality, not your business.

Maybe you would be more successful if you focused on yourself instead of losing your mind over where other people are shifting or what they’re shifting for.

Literally why do you care?

You’re not gonna be able to stop them anyway. Move on.

OH MY GOSH THESE TWO COMMENTS ARE THE REALEST EVER 😭

"One day, you wake up and realise something has to change. The old habits don't serve a purpose for the person you're becoming. And when you make that change, you start to attract new beginnings to you."

Remember,

You are a practicing pagan. You don't have to do spell work everyday. You don't have to talk to your deities everyday. You don't have to spend every waking second focusing on your practice to be a valid pagan.

Your valid. No matter how often you're able to work with your deities. No matter how often you do spell work. No matter if you dedicate little or big things to your practice.

You make an effort once in awhile and thats more than enough. Save your spoons, it's ok.

If you are LGBTQ+, Dionysos is your God!

If you are a POC, Dionysos is your God!

If you are an immigrant or foreigner, Dionysos is your God!

If you are a woman, Dionysos is your God!

If you are oppressed or downtrodden, Dionysos is your God!

With a touch of His finger, chains fall away!

With the tremor of His cry, the houses of the tyrants crumble!

We have no king but Bakkhos!

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
