the gods show you the version of themselves that you need most, your experiences won't be identical to other worshippers/devotees out there because you are different from others and that's okay. that just adds to how beautiful the connection to the theoi really is.
Disclaimer: This is a more personal post and involves a bit of UPG.
I didn't start witchcraft by doing deity work, in fact, I just started actively working with deities in the last two years! Before that, the only experience I've had with a god was the Christian God, but even then I only interacted with him* in the way that I was taught to: You pray to him but he probably won't respond. I was even told when I asked why God doesn't answer me, "That's just not how God works"...
This is no slight towards Christian witches, as I know they interact with the Christian God differently than non-witchy Christians and I would never claim to know their relationships with him.
However, due to this upbringing, I didn't know how to interact with deities. I had to unlearn what I had been taught about interacting with a god.
One of the things I had to unlearn is that, unlike how I was taught growing up, many deities aren't always going to be there to talk to you, they're a lot more human-like than we think. They aren't like how the Christian God is said to be: always there, always watching. w
I got scared when the interactions with my deities started to wane/ I wasn't feeling them or hearing from them as often and I started to worry that they'd abandoned me. That's not true! As with any relationship, there are times when you can't always be with someone, it's totally normal to go days, weeks, and even months without hearing from your deities. That doesn't mean that you've been left behind!!
So if you're feeling disconnected from your deities here are some things to keep in mind:
Just because they aren't always around doesn't mean they aren't always there for you.
Call them when you need them if you don't feel like they're around at the moment. Gods are used to being called to by humans, it won't offend them.
They may not show up right away sometimes. They are feeling, thinking beings, they have their own will and generally act accordingly to said will.
Deities are allowed to step back. If they feel the need to take a break from your relationship, or simply not interact with you as much, then that's just fine!
It's not always a reflection of you, your character, or your craft. Sometimes they just want to take a break and that's perfectly fine!
Sometimes, the problem is that we are too busy and we put our relationships with our deities on the back burner. In this case, most of the time, in my experience, they understand and if they need to reach out to you they will find a way.
If you feel like you've been disconnected from your deities and would like to take some actions to reconnect, here are some ideas:
Read up on their mythology. Even if you've read it all before, give yourself a bit of a refresher!
Do some divination. I use tarot but you can use whichever form works best for you. Use tsk the deity what you can do to reconnect with them.
Talk to them. Even if you feel like they aren't around, just talk to them. Tell them how you feel, how your day went, and tell them you want to reconnect. You can also write to them.
Give them an offering. Since this post is focused on reconnecting with deities, you probably already know which offerings your patrons prefer. So give them an offering and let them know you're thinking of them!
Do something that makes you feel more connected to that deity. This could be going on a walk, making a certain food item, creating art, playing a movie, and so on. Just do something that makes you feel closer to them.
All in all, everyone's experiences with Deities and Deity work is going to be unique to the person, as with any relationship in life. Do what works best for you, this is just a post to help remind people that deity work isn't always having your life fully devoted to a deity. Most of us aren't able to put that much of our time or energy into deity work. If you can and want to, that's perfectly okay, too!
*I was raised using he/him pronouns for the Christian God as that was how he manifested in my life and upbringing. However, I am aware that there are folks who choose to use other pronouns for the Christian God and I'm not disregarding nor disrespecting that. Use whatever pronouns for your chosen deities as you want, Christian God or otherwise. <3
hello darling!
alright, so I made a list with nevilleโs books with shortened/adjusted chapters but also self made summaries! I hope these will help you understand nevilleโs point of view and grasp the concept of manifesting better. โก

lollll dude have you seriously not realized that all things are delicately interconnected yet? at your age?
!! pls read this !! - this isn't something i am "creating." it's just a compilation (?) of methods which i think are really easy. idk if that makes sense haha, you'll get it as you read the post! i am just clarifying this because i don't want any comments like, "you're copying abc." i'm just reciprocating what neville has taught!! pls read the whole post! thank you :))
firstly, decide what you want. it can be anything. LITERALLY. go wild. you're limitless, you can get anything. don't think about the how or shit. you want something? you'll get it. okay, now that you've decided it. let's go to the next step!
okay, so i want you to choose an affirmation that implies you have/will get your desire. if you're struggling with choosing one, just go with, "i already have what i want." that's more than enough!
now close your eyes, and just visualize/feel how you would be living your life if you had what you want. and when you visualize/feel, i want you all to vividly do that. use all your senses, and it's okay if you can't visualize is 1st person, doesn't matter. use some music if you want (you all can ask me for song reccs, I AM A PRO AT THAT!). don't think of anything else, throw away your doubts. for some time, immerse yourself in your little daydream. feel that gush of emotion flowing through you. you can do this for as long as you want. after you're done, open your eyes.
now, repeat that affirmation for some times. don't just repeat it like a robot. do it with feeling. that affirmation will be your reality in seconds!! remember that. affirm once or twice or any times, but do it with some feeling.
now that you're done, i want you to close your eyes and tell yourself how powerful you are. basically self concept stuff, just motivate yourself by saying things like i'm the god, i have the power to change my reality in literally seconds. nothing can stop me, everything is possible for me. just say stuff like these, and remind yourself that the moment you open your eyes, you're gonna see what you want in the 3d. that means you're gonna have whatever you want once you open your eyes.
DONE! THAT'S IT! CONGRATULATIONS, YOU HAVE WHAT YOU WANT!!
now, even if you don't see your results (which is HIGHLY unlikely to happen) persist! please, don't give up. assume that whenever you feel like giving up, that's a sign you're one step away from getting what you want. just do it. i know it sounds stupid, but who cares. GOD ISN'T STUPID AND GOD IS YOU!
this works only if you assume it does. so it really just depends on you. it might sound to good to be true, but once you murder logic and bury it, it'll be a piece of cake for you. manifestation is easy. you don't even have to do all of this, this post is for people who think methods really help them! you're so damn powerful, and your 3d is malleable, it doesn't have any power. nobody has power but YOU. you wanna live your dream life, isn't it? so don't give up. this post WILL help you, i promise. if it doesn't, bully me or whatever.
note : if you all really really REALLY want to manifest in seconds, please follow these. it'll really help you. i've tried it and IT WORKS!! trust in yourself and believe in your power. DO NOT, I MEAN IT, DO NOT DO THIS if you're gonna check the 3d very 2 seconds or if you don't wanna acknowledge your power! this is really effective, there's no chance of not getting results, it's literally impossible. and i actually mean it. it HAS to come to you, there's no other way, i am literally so confident, i can bet all my money on this. yes you can change some things if you want, since you're the god and i am no one in your reality to comprehend you from doing so!! i am really excited for this HAHA. all the best mwah, i love you all <33
