the philosophy of fluidity, the steady balancing flow, within all, the hidden symmetry, the asymmetric elegance, behind such: the internal dynamics, the reflective resolution, traversing one, our innermost aura, the steps of the soul, as pure as our lucidity; the dreamless infinity, beyond the self & beyond the soul, eternal.
Working on a few others (I also did a few cards to like draw? They’re in a box lmao. Hope you get what u mean)
Today we’ll be talking about Faeries! Also known as Fairies, The Fae, The Fair Folk, The Honest Folk, The Little Folk, and many more.
- What are faeries?: The answer to this differs between personal belief and cultures. What we do know is they are powerful, tricky, spirits found in nature. I personally like to think of them as nature spirits, having a specific connection to a place, like a river. Or a certain tree, plant, flower, element, ect. Each existing to protect or represent that thing, and be called on in its name. I also think faeries are specific extensions of the energies and correspondences surrounding the elements. Where do I find them?: As stated above, in nature! There are many different faeries, with different stories, associations, and things to offer. If there is nature, there are faeries. Why should I work with them?: Let’s get this straight for those who are new, you do NOT have to work with or even believe in them to be a witch. That being said, Faeries can help as reconnect with nature, they can keep the nature that surrounds us safe too. For example helping and protecting a garden, they can help us in the way spells can too. They can help with luck, love, growth, happiness, just about anything you’d use a spell for. But don’t be fooled, faeries can also be tricksters. The majority of them are mischievous by nature. So beware, and stay safe. I’ll get into how to do that in a bit. How do I work with them?: Fae are similar to other spirits or Deities in that they have specialties, they can offer you help and advice. If you just want to keep on good terms with them or open up general communication and see where it goes you should go out into nature and leave an offering. Preferably near your house. If you want something specific, however, you should look into different kinds of Fae that are associated with that thing. To contact a specific fae, you could go somewhere that fae is associated with and leave an offering or do divination. You could meditate on the situation with them in mind. Summon them into a dream. It’s up to you and your practice. Ways to honor them/offerings: • Meditate and focus on them • if you grown fruits and veggies, leave the last of it on the plant for them. • Leave a bit of choice food like milk, bread, or wine out on the earth for them. They also like shiny things like jewelry, the finer things. • Make an altar to them, especially to specific Fae. • Leave a space near the fire for them. Is there anything I shouldn’t do or be warned of?: Yes! The Fae are mysterious creatures who can be easily offended. Here’s a list of do’s and don’ts when working with or communicating with The Fae. DON’T be rude! Do not say anything disrespectful to the Fae, they consider themselves better than us and are more powerful and tricky than us. Often, much much older too. This also includes not snooping in a Faeries things or realm, not speaking of gifts or blessings they bring you, and not carrying iron with you or near them (it hurts them and WILL be seen as insulting or an attack.) And absolutely do not lie! Always keep promises. This goes with the last tip, don’t lie to them and if you don’t keep a promise or deal the debt WILL be repaid either by your own hand, or perhaps less favorably by theirs. Do not accept a gift, say sorry, or thank you. Once more on the topics of debts, doing any of these things implies you have a debt to them and you don’t want to find yourself in that situation. Do not give them your name. This gives them power over you. Instead say “You may call me ___.” Perhaps give them a nickname of yours. Do not mention a child, especially an infant! The Fae love children but they may switch the child with a changeling or cause misfortune for the child if you anger them, do not risk it! Do not dance with them or accept food or drink. In folklore and stories this ends with dancing till death, or being forever tied to the Fae’s realm. Mind your words. The Fae are masters of trickery, they’re mischievous by nature. The Fae tend to take things literally, like genies in movies. You might not break any of these rules, yet they’ll still mess up what you ask for or wish for. Choose your wording VERY carefully, especially when asking for help. How can I learn more?: I would highly recommend The Fairy Bible by Teresa Moorey. She goes over just about anything and everything you’d want to know relating to Faeries. She also goes over many types of Faeries, including elemental faeries, weather faeries, tree faeries, flower faeries, and household faeries. If you have anymore questions about the Fae feel free to message me! I adore this topic. I hope this helped your or you learned something! Enjoy! Have a lovely day 💖
IS IT INTUITION OR OVERTHINKING?
I personally still struggle with this and I know a lot of people do here are some signs. Do note intution can lead to overthinking if you’re denying it.
INTUITION:
More of a relaxed feeling, you don’t feel anxious your mind is at rest. It just comes to you. You just know. You’re not panicking you’re mind is not racing random thoughts.
✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚: *✧・゚:*
It does not change, you will keep getting the same message.
✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚: *✧・゚:*
You see angel numbers or things of meaning to your situation.
✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚: *✧・゚:*
It doesn’t always have to be the most logical answer, but sometimes it is.
✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚: *✧・゚:*
You feel it you just know it there is no “what if” you just know.
✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚: *✧・゚:*
It comes to you naturally usually when you’re doing something like a hobby and not doing something that feeds overthinking. (most of the time)
✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚: *✧・゚:*
It all makes sense, you connect the dots.
✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚: *✧・゚:*
It comes through meditation etc.
✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚: *✧・゚:*
You probably don’t know what to do with your intution at first, while overthinking you tend to be more impulsive and restless.
✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚: *✧・゚:*
OVERTHINKING:
You got a different message last time, your mind is constantly thinking of different ideas and when one doesn’t fit your internal frameworks you switch to a new one more fitting.
✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚: *✧・゚:*
Constantly ask the same question using spiritual resources. Such as tarot.
✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚: *✧・゚:*
Your mind feels anxious you feel as you can not focus, your body usually isn’t well. May get a pit in the stomach. Intution can sometimes have a hurt in the stomach I will say though.
✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚: *✧・゚:*
You don’t think of anything else but that, it’s like a trigger.
✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚: *✧・゚:*
You constantly focus on what you’re thinking about. Example: Stalking your bfs / gfs social media.
✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚: *✧・゚:*
It does not make sense & you question everything more than just your situation.
✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚: *✧・゚:*
Insecurity, you do not like yourself and this can lead to overthinking a bunch. It’s not intuition.
✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚: *✧・゚:*
It usually makes you feel less of worth
✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚: *✧・゚:*
Constantly ask for advice.
✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚: *✧・゚:*
Overall, being more secure in yourself leads to less overthinking. Most of us struggle with things like this.
✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚: *✧・゚:*
Easy. Simply refer to the cards’ symbology. Because when you have a deep connection with tarot, the cards will always speak to you. Not just when you are using them, but even in your dreams too.
When you dream of a vehicle…
…remember The Chariot, the card that represents all forms of transportation. It means ambitiousness and triumph. Perhaps you are being advised to keep going and stay driven. Or your success in a situation is being predicted.
When you dream of a fire…
…think of The Tower, the card of Mars, who stokes the fire in all of us. Maybe you are being asked to watch your temper, lest you do something you will regret later. Or perhaps a shocking ending in your life is being prophesied.
When you dream of a microphone…
…look to Judgement, the card of amplifiers, trumpets and other musical instruments. The Divine might be asking you to wake up and open your eyes. Perhaps because somebody in your life is the Devil wearing a disguise.
When you dream of arrows…
…remember the Eight of Wands, also named “Arrows of Love”. Maybe it is time to ask someone out, or begin exploring your options once more. Then again, perhaps your soulmate is simply arriving, and you do not need to do anything.
When you dream of the number five…
…think of what it means in tarot. The Five of Wands is conflict. The Five of Pentacles is poverty. The Five of Swords is defeat. The Five of Cups is grief. Perhaps difficulties are coming, and you are being told to stay strong and keep believing.
When you dream of a child…
…look to The Sun, where a little boy is enjoying his ride. This is the card of pure joy and emotional fulfillment. Maybe you will soon experience that kind of happiness. Perhaps in your life, the sun is about to shine again.
When you dream of a stranger…
…try to recall what he or she looked like. Young like a Page? Dashing like a knight? Beautiful like a queen? Which of tarot’s court cards does the stranger remind you of? Remember that card’s meaning to understand what your dream is saying.
When you dream of gold coins…
…see if you can remember how many there were. Seven, and look to the Seven of Pentacles. It means your harvest is assured, but you need to be patient. One, and look to the Ace of Pentacles. A financial opportunity should be coming to you shortly.
When you dream of a weighing scale…
…think of Justice. Did you wrong someone recently? Or was it the other way around? Because karma is coming. Hopefully not for you. Or perhaps you are just being told to look out for a Libra. Other than karma’s, this card is theirs too.
When you dream of an old man…
…remember The Hermit. Perhaps the Universe is asking you to retreat like him. Maybe being alone is what you need right now. But then again, this is the card of Virgo. So if you know one, maybe you are being asked never to let them go.
As a rule of thumb, deities will never do the following:
Dictate who you can/can't be friends with
Dictate which deities you're allowed/not allowed to venerate
Dictate who you can/can't be romantically involved with
Dictate your course in life
Threaten to leave if you can't/don't fulfill their requests
Ask you to stop taking your medications
Require you to observe a daily practice
Require you to spend tons of money on their behalf
Rush you into an oath, marriage, or some other binding contract
Prohibit you from doing certain activities
Withhold their affections if you do something they don't like
Shame you
Court minors (not in this day and age. Deities answer to the sensibilities of our time and society.)
If you see a deity act in any of these ways, you might be dealing with an impostor spirit or a mental sock-puppet, rather than the actual deity.
Impostors are petty spirits who disguise themselves as deities to mooch off undeserved worship.
Mental sock puppets are personal thoughts and insecurities projected onto an imaginary being.
And in instances where a deity is doing something you don't think is appropriate, you're always free to set boundaries. Gods don't get to act with impunity simply because they're gods.
Types of Witches Part 1
Gods and goddesses are extremely ancient beings of immense power and wisdom. There are some who have been alive since the beginning of the universe, long before humans or any other mortal beings were brought into existence (the most ancient one being Lucifer). And others were created later on, either by the Greater Deities outside this universe, or from being born as children of deities in this universe. When the mortal races began being created, there were gods who began forming pantheons to watch over them and be in charge of their progress.
The children of these pantheon gods often remained in the pantheon as well; however, most deities don’t limit themselves to just one pantheon, as they often go to multiple other lands (or sometimes other planets) to help different people, or approach certain individuals who they see worth in. They weren’t always included in the other pantheons because of this, since these deities weren’t staying permanently and would approach other cultures and individuals as they saw fit. Also, there are many deities who aren’t known to any culture, since they choose not to have any divine duties and simply want to enjoy existence in peace, or to focus solely on their own evolution.
All deities tend to be serious to some degree, but some are more approachable than others since they can be a bit more laid-back. But it is important to remember that gods are not like humans; yes they have passions, get married, and enjoy life, but they do not have a human mentality. They have all experienced thousands of years, millions of years, or even more (for the very ancient gods). They also have a much higher perspective than we do, and are extremely mature as beings with immense insight. So they will not agree with everything that humans think is moral, and they also don’t tend to act how people expect them to, since they are very deep and advanced beings and they don’t have human behaviours; they’re separate beings entirely to us.
The gods are also not always going to be nice towards you, since many will be serious or some may even be harsh; these things depend on the deity’s personality and also their method of teaching. But overall, the gods are just and operate based on their own wisdom (unless the deity is malevolent, which a few known ones are, such as Apep). Besides that, plenty of deities have even killed humans who angered them greatly, often those humans who desecrated their temples or harmed humans they cared for. So they are not usually as peace-loving and forgiving as some may think.
Who to Work With
Which deity you work with is largely up to you. The majority of deities welcome any human who is respectful and spiritually open, and are often happy to help you learn and develop through lessons of wisdom. So if there is a deity you feel a strong pull towards, it’s likely that you either worshipped them in a past life, and/or you are destined to worship them in this life in order to learn significant things about yourself and your life mission. In these cases, you are encouraged to reach out to that god and speak with them. The deities are always pleased to listen to serious spiritual questions from you, and to help guide you with things that are important in your life. If you aren’t certain if the deity wants to help you with something, you only need to ask them through tarot, which is the best way if you don’t have accurate enough astral hearing.
Different Levels of Worship
You can worship as many deities as you like, but the level of worship depends on how devoted you wish to be. The most basic level of worship is general reverence towards a god or goddess, showing your love, gratitude, and deep respect for them. This can be done by speaking to the deity on occasion, whenever you feel the need, and to offer them praise and an offering. This can be done for many deities who you feel the desire to honour, but not to be very close to.
The next level is when you wish to be deeply devoted to a god or goddess. This means that you will request the deity of your choosing if they can watch over you closely and help guide you on multiple areas of your life, or on something specific that is important to you. This deity will act as your mentor in a way, and will expect you to speak with them often (not every day, but not to go months without speaking). You also don’t have to give them offerings every day or week even; usually, offerings should be given when you feel the desire to show your love, and when the deity does something to help you.
A deity will never force you or command you to worship them, and they also will not abuse or cause harm to you (unless the deity is malevolent- but the vast majority of gods in the pantheons aren’t malevolent). However, if you do something to anger the deity, either by showing unwanted lust towards them, calling them nicknames, or speaking about them in a disrespectful manner, the gods are more than likely to punish you in some way, depending on what they believe deserves to be done. Often, this punishment may take the form of a curse, which is very powerful and cannot be removed like a human-made curse.
But it should also be noted that there are many deities who will put you through a period of hardship in order to help you evolve. This is typically done with people who are more spiritual and aren’t casually worshipping the deities. Yet these challenges aren’t as severe as the challenges demons give to their worshippers, since the Left Hand Path is harsher than both the Middle Path and Middle-Left Path, which the majority of deities follow. Since these pantheon gods typically follow either the Middle or Middle-Left Path, they strongly value wisdom, self-mastery, balance, connection to the Earth, and strength of heart. So you may be tested in these things to help you grow and become better as a person, and to also overcome your weaknesses. Yet they (and demons) will not put you through anything that will damage your life, your mental health, physical health, or anything you aren’t truly ready for. They all can see into us and know what we can and cannot currently handle; so if something bad like the above happens while worshipping a god or demon, please don’t assume it’s them and instead ask them what is happening. The likely answer is that other things are at work, possibly negative energy from the world, your human rivals, a curse from a witch, or simply just difficult circumstances in life, which happen to everyone.
Though keep in mind that there are some gods who are actually malevolent and enjoying harming humans as their role, some examples include Apep and Eris (goddess of enmity and discord).
Patrons
Every person is guided by at least 4 or 5 deities during their lives- these gods and goddesses are ones who watch over the person and help them learn things that will contribute to their life mission. Usually, these deities don’t make themselves known to the people they watch over, especially since the majority of humans aren’t very spiritual. Sometimes, one of these gods may even leave the person at some point if the person completes a certain lesson that the deity was teaching them. So with their role completed, the deity will move on.
How to Work with Deities
When working with deities, it is very important to remember to be respectful and to know your place with them- don’t view them as your buddy to make jokes with or to think you are equal with them. They are gods, and they will always be far more advanced than any human. Deities also tend to become irritated when humans place labels on them or view them as if they are characters in stories; they don’t view these things the way you do and see this as very disrespectful. They expect their followers to take them seriously and not view spirituality as a game, so be aware of this higher perspective and don’t bring the gods down to your level, because none of them will appreciate this and they may become distant. You don’t have to be overly polite however, but make sure to have manners and listen to them when they give you advice. Chances are that the god knows you far better than you know yourself; so when they have advice to give, pay attention to it and don’t take it for granted.
If you would like to request a deity to come to your home so you can speak with them in-person, this can be done. Remember though that the gods have their own lives and are often busy with divine tasks or personal matters, so if they don’t arrive right away or at all, don’t assume that they are ignoring you because they likely aren’t. Thankfully, gods are able to be in multiple places at once (to a certain degree), so this makes it even more likely for them to have the opportunity to visit followers who request their presence.
When the deity does arrive to you, it is polite to bow your head to them as a show of respect. The gods are all very tall but will shrink themselves a bit when inside your home (they tend to be almost ceiling-height). Make sure to make wise use of this time, since you have the honour of having a god visit you. You can ask them questions or use this time to understand them better; they don’t usually get impatient and are often glad to answer spiritual things or to give advice. When you are done speaking with the deity, it is good to let them know and they will depart.
Astral senses
Astral senses, such as astral sight and astral hearing, are both essential to strive for if someone wishes to be deeply spiritual. This is mostly because the best way to try and understand a deity is to speak with them; no book on mythology could ever show you the essence of a deity and how they truly are. But keep in mind that astral sight often takes around a year or more of constant practice to become very clear; so if you are devoted enough and wish to strive for this, the deities will acknowledge this. But astral hearing is much more difficult to be mastered, since it requires more years of practice while also learning how to tune-out your own identity and desires at will, to allow yourself to become void inside, becoming a vessel for the spiritual voices (this is not recommended to do if you have psychosis). If this skill is not developed properly, what one will usually believe to be a deity or spirit speaking to them often ends up being their own mind (voices that are mental projections), based on their preconceived ideas of how that deity/spirit behaves. This is why one must silence their self completely, and have no ideas of their own during astral hearing, which takes a lot of self-mastery, as well as years to be perfected.
But while the astral senses allow for a very deep connection to the gods, and is a very worthwhile goal to strive for, it is not the only way to communicate if you don’t have these skills yet. The other way one can speak with a deity or spirit (to a lesser degree) is through tarot cards, although it is best to develop an accurate skill in this practice beforehand. With tarot cards, you can mainly only receive advice from the deity or insight about yourself, as any other topic is too complex to receive answers from by cards, especially if you wish to ask what the deity is like. I would however strongly recommend people not to use pendulums for spirit communication since they are heavily unreliable. This is because pendulums are very sensitive to energies and can move over the simplest thing, even your own desire for where it should move. So because of this, it is unwise to use this object to speak with gods or any spirits, since it will more often than not tell you nonsense or things that you want it to tell you.
Also, don’t feel bad if you cannot hear or see the deities; they won’t get mad or impatient with you for this. The vast majority of people in the ancient times couldn’t do these things, since they weren’t devoted to a spiritual life (that’s what the priests/priestesses, oracles, or shamans were for). So if the best you can do is pray to them and allow their guidance to take form in your life, that is perfectly fine.
Imposter Spirits
On the topic of communicating with deities and spirits, there is a category of spirit that is not only highly malevolent, but they are often prone towards pretending to be someone they aren’t. These malicious entities are called tar spirits, which are beings made out of corrupt energy that looks like tar (these usually are spawned from the body of Apep). Tar spirits are in their millions and are constantly darting through Earth or going through cities to attack people, causing either minor problems or more serious issues (such as tempting people to commit suicide, causing mental disturbances, physical pains, or attempting possession).
But one of the most common things they do is pretend to be a deity or spirit that someone trusts; they often do this in order to use that form to try and seduce their human target, which will cause them to bring more tar spirits through causing a pregnancy in their astral body. Or, they may seduce that human and have sex with them often, which will cause that person to begin developing physical pains, illnesses, or mental issues.
Take note that it is rare for a god or spirit to be attracted to humans, especially in the modern times where people are even more incompatible with their personalities. It is also because many gods already have relationships with other deities, and so they may have no interest in such things for this reason. Another effect is that if the person begins to view deities sexually through these experiences, it will badly affect their spirituality and make it more shallow, as well as making it so that they don’t truly take the gods seriously anymore. So for all these reasons, make sure to be cunning and wise, and remember the warning signs of having an imposter spirit with you. Also, it is safer to speak to deities by directing your words through your mind to them (like telepathy), since the tar spirits won’t hear you this way.
Study the Mythology, but not as if it’s 100% true
This is another very common mistake that has occurred in new age spirituality, possibly because many people are used to religions like Christianity, where the “holy” books are claimed to be true and unquestionable. But for the ancient civilizations, they didn’t do this. Their mythology was often either three things: a true account (which may or may not have been embellished over-time by other story-tellers), a teaching story using the gods and allegories to bring lessons of wisdom and morality, or a story of the gods written for entertainment purposes only (like for theatre)- these were not always respectful to the deities however, which would sometimes anger the gods. But even for the myths based on true accounts, be aware that the spiritual humans who witnessed these events usually did not fully understand what was taking place, as the events of the divine are greatly complex. So these were myths written by the perspectives of the humans who knew of them, and over time, may have been embellished even further.
The only way to truly know what is real and what isn’t is if you master your astral abilities, but since this is uncommon and takes years, it is best to read the myths with a pinch of salt. You can also ask some gods if a certain myth is true or not, and you can draw tarot cards to ask them how they feel about it. This may not be the best way to get answers, but it can help a little, especially if they feel strongly for or against the story.
For example, Athena doesn’t like the myth where it’s said she cursed a woman to become a spider- she explains this was simply a metaphor for the spider goddess. And she also explains that Medusa was never a victim, since that was a poem written by a Roman (Ovid), whereas the original Greek myth told the truth- that Medusa was born monstrous and was always malicious. That is why the Greek warriors had Medusa’s severed head on their shields, since bearing her head was a sign of achievement over evil (which is also why Athena is adorned with this symbol).
Ways to Bond with Deities
There are many things you can do to bond with the deities. You can create art for them, sing for them, write devotional poetry, speak with them, etc. Many gods value their followers’ acts of love and care, since they care for many of us.
The gods all have been through great pain and hardship over their long existences, and many of them mourn over their lost civilizations which were raped and destroyed by the Abrahamic invaders, eventually causing the descendants of their own people to turn against them. Even now, people everywhere are continuing to break the temples that are already in ruins, or smashing ancient sculptures. So when a human anywhere in the world calls upon a deity out of respect, that deity will often see that human as worthy to be approached. They wish to help us end the dark ages of spirituality and to see reality as it actually is- not by making jokes about the gods or seeing things in simplistic ways, but to truly experience the spiritual and to see the grand complexities of existence.
Offerings
When giving offerings to the gods, it should usually be something that they connect with energetically, but they also tend to accept things that you give purely out of love. But for incense, it must be a scent they connect with energetically, otherwise it will be unsuitable (for instance, one should never offer a soft scent to Ares, like something floral). Incense should also be bought at a good quality and not something cheaply made. Offerings are meant to be sacrifices, wherein you sacrifice your own time or money to obtain something the deity would like, and you then devote it to them. Offerings can also be artwork you make for them or poetry you write for them, or even to create a digital altar for them (although it is best to have a physical altar if possible).
When you have given an offering to a deity, you should place it on their altar or on a clean surface if no altar is available. Make sure to announce to the deity that the offering is for them, bow your head, and then you can leave. If the offering is food or drink, you may leave it there for around a day, but do not partake of them. After the day, you can take the food and/or drink and respectfully discard it down the sink or into the trash. If the food was something solid (like chocolate), you can wrap it into a napkin while stating that you are discarding it into the trash as there is no other way. Make sure that you do not leave food or drink offerings out for a long time (like a week or more), as it has lost its essence, since the gods partook from it. Without its essence, the food/drink is energetically hollow and will begin to create a dip in the room if left for a long time. If the offering is something like an object, then you should leave it there at the altar or wherever you have a spot designated for that deity. This object cannot be used for yourself from then on, as it is a sacrifice. Also, if you offer a crystal to a deity, then that crystal can only be used to connect with them from then on.
All these efforts help you to be seen as respectable by the gods, and they will likely become more open towards you and doing more to guide you. It is also a way to train yourself spiritually, to see the beauty of sacrifice and to give something up for something greater.

when discovering the law of assumption i knew i had found the answers i’ve been searching for my whole entire life. i have always been sure that this life wasn’t random and that there is something we as humans are missing. i knew there was no way that things just happened because from an early age i caught on to coincidences and knew they meant more than just random pop ups.
so i discovered the law of assumption and started to watch loa youtube and would watch so many videos and after every video i would think “ah yes this is what i’m missing and what i need to do to get money,sp or appearance change” and this obviously was a vicious cycle for me. i got nothing well i did, i kept getting the same old story that i didn’t want
i got into loa tumblr and NOW i know the answers. this is nothing against any loa blogs because what you do works for you but everyone kept throwing around different methods, challenges for self concept and i felt that it was all so calculated and not natural at all… if applying the law as god is so natural and easy why am i doing all these different methods and challenges to change myself
all the success stories spreading around that they got what they wanted and while i understand that is showing in the physical world is what people want, that’s not the real reality and we know this so why base it around the physical not real world. i latched onto that and thought i wasn’t successful because clearly the success is based on the the 3d conforming!!!!
one day i decided to delete tumblr and focus on myself just because i started to have these epiphanies about being god, creation is finished, everything being one, the imagination being the only real reality. this would turn out to be the best decision for me. i mentioned in an ask i got that i woke up in the middle of the night crying and it all clicked, this was a couple days after deleting tumblr. i made the decision that “i am god, i get what i want because creation is finished, anything i desire is set in stone and a promise that no matter what i see around me i am already in my ideal reality with everything i want and more” and i sat with that for two days and all the sudden everything just started to happen around me in the physical world. i’m not kidding it was scary fast but the odd thing was is when it happened i wasn’t even surprised and it felt normal. even things i thought were “big” like money appearance change and a sp felt so normal and mundane
this is what led me to realize i didn’t want to physical thing itself i wanted the feeling of having it and having the realization that i am god and creation is finished just automatically made me live in the end of already having it with no doubts fears or worries. just relying on my inner world and experiencing it within which leads to the physical world being so unimportant and understanding it is always changing and extremely malleable like putty
so i got tumblr again, but now i have it all plus more and life is constantly getting better and better for me and so i decided to share what i thought and who i follow and what i read. i follow electrasoul on youtube and i understand how we feel about loa youtube. i do not follow everything she says at all actually, however i do like that her recent videos are more based on her experience. i also like her energy.
i like a lot of neville quotes and i know he is the forefront of this community because he paved the way and i respect and appreciate that however i don’t listen to his lectures or read his books ever. as god i can answer my own questions! so say i want to change my hair color, i wouldn’t go ask anyone how to do it, in my head a conversation with myself goes like this then “okay i really want blonde hair now… wait i already have blonde hair and i know i have blonde hair because i said i do and creation is finished so to answer my own question i do have beautiful blonde hair now” it all comes down to me deciding
i feel this is important for me to share because it is so easy and simple. i wish someone would have told me this but now i understand. all it is is knowing i am god, creation is finished and that anything i desire is a promise that shows up in my physical world in less than a day because look i make my rules and you make yours so just understand it is effortless and no action is needed at all just knowing and knowing/the end wills the means
I know a lot of baby witches have trouble with finding where to start out so I complied a list of good resources for the absolute beginner witch!! Hope this helps ❤️🌿

Witchcraft symbols
Tree magick
Herb master post
(smudging is a term from Native American that is not an open practice, smoke cleansing is called Smoke Cleansing, smudging is closed as well as white sage and san palo, important Native American herbs)
I would definitely look into what are closed practices, as to avoid any cultural appropriation as many things like ‘honey jars’ or hoodoo powders are actually from closed or semi closed practices. It is important to know where these come from and it’s cultures as to avoid closed practices appropriation and to use some things like Nazar or chakras to know the significance and actual history and if you can work with them or not. Especially with spells or Deities or anything new.
Some closed practices info (not all of the closed practices in the world)

I would wait to do spells until you have all your information and research and do protection spells for your first spells. Also I wouldn’t do blood magick, as it is very powerful and can have major consequences if you don’t know what your doing, and spirit work or any work with deities.

I would definitely also look into some history of witchcraft and paganism (not just Wicca to the 1960’s history, but of the growth of witchcraft in the Renaissance era as well as traditional magic with the Greeks, to Celtic etc, as the impacts of those occultists, as some are very problematic like Crowley), as well as the impacts of other cultures and practices like Hinduism, Native American, Jewish Mysticism etc on modern western spirituality and giving that homage back to those cultures e.g chakras, yoga, spirit animals (closed practice), smudging, dream catchers, Kabbalah etc
