Types Of Witches Part 1

A deity is a mystical presence, like a god, that is worshipped by individuals who believe it commands or wields influence over a characteristic of existence. In the witch world, many worship or work with deities or spirits. However, you never need to do this to be a valid witch, and always hold magic within yourself as well.

Worshipping Vs Working With:

Worship:

Worshipping is to believe, honor, and venerate a spirit or deity. This means not only believing in their existence, but admiring their power and displaying gratitude and loyalty towards them.

Working With:

Working with an entity is different than worshipping, although many consider it important to start worship before working with any spirit or deity. (That doesn’t mean stop when you start working with them though!) This is when an entity comes through with energy, messages, and is willing to guide you.

Terminology:

Aspect:

Aspects are a phrase utilized across various beliefs and in theology to illustrate a particular manifestation or perception of a deity or spirit. Subject on the religion, these may possibly be separate, overlapping, or methods of perceiving or conceptualizing the deity in a distinct context.

Devotee:

A passionate or fervent believer in a particular religion, deity, or spirit. To explain further, an individual who is completely devoted and given almost exclusively to conviction, and one who is spiritually committed to conscientious obligations, principles, and ceremonies.

Devotion:

An act of prayer, offering, or ritual, generally cast in private. This can range from playing music, to writing poetry for them. Devotions are often considered to occur solely in the mornings in some cultures.

Epithet:

In Hellenic and European primitive times, an epithet was a informative term to be associated with or occurring in place of the name of a deity or spirit. These epithets are repeated continuously in their ancient literary works, and this phrase is used to specify the characteristics of a deity or spirit.

Matron:

A distinct Goddess you feel most linked and relaxed working in alongside, and can often be demonstrated within themselves. The amount of Matrons an individual may have is a subject to preference.

Offering:

An offering is to put forward something to a deity is to show and recognize allegiance, appreciation, and passion. Offerings are usually given in devotions, in veneration of, and general rituals.

Oracle:

A human being that an entity is conducted to answer when consulted, they convey messages through this deity with the ability of communication of them. Oracles are considered to be dead to many, although there are reconstructionists today.

Patron:

A distinct Goddess or God you feel most connected and comfortable working in conjunction with, and is often displayed within their temperament. The number of patrons a human can have is a matter of choice, although most individuals choose one as their principal spirit.

Priest:

A priest is a human certified to execute the blessed traditions of a religion, deity, or spirit. A Priest is regarded as an authority, and often requires an initiation. This is also sometimes referred to as a High Priest.

Priestess:

A priestess is a woman certified to execute the blessed traditions of a religion, deity, or spirit. A Priestess is regarded as an authority, and often requires an initiation. This is also sometimes referred to as a High Priestess.

Veneration:

To venerate is to worship, respect, and admire another. Metaphysically, veneration is often used as a term of worship to a spirit or deity. Unquestionable and unconditional belief can be associated with this term.

THE MAJOR ARCANA - THE MOON

UPRIGHT: illusion, deception, misunderstandings, fear, mystery, secrecy, intuition REVERSED: strange dreams, insomnia, release of fear, revelation, admitting truths

This is related to a question you just answered, but how does one open their third eye? I've read so much about how you do readings with your third eye and stuff, but I legit don't know how to do it and I really want to.

first of all i’d recommend reading about the third chakra, so you know something about it; 

i had it ‘’opened’’ since i was very small so i don’t know how to ‘’open’’ it, but you develop it with your intuition!

something that has helped me is keep a dream journal, give yourself 5 min in the morning to write down anything you remember from your dream, doesn’t matter how much - don’t focus on what you don’t remember;

do you know the memory card games? try playing this but without remembering, maybe ask someone else to mix it for you or play it online; instead of relying on your memory, you use your intuition - it’s the very first feeling/hunch you have, but it’s very short, in my cases always under a second; once you get the hang of it and get used to your intuition, it will be a lot easier to listen to, and your 3rd eye will improve as well! 

many people suggest meditation, and you can try 3rd eye meditation! personally meditation isn’t being easy on me so i don’t do it much >< trust in the universe and not being afraid of their information is important as well

the lost city of atlantis

"atlantis was my home, it was this beautiful island, surrounded by the most beautiful blue water. whales and dolphins were our protectors, our best friends. mermaids and humans lived happily together, between the sea and the land. angels were among us, angels were our healers, the people that came from other planets and dimensions, they came to us with a mission, to help planet earth, and helps us all. atlantis was beautiful, small mountains were here and there, with magical portals that brought you to these wonderful caves, surrounded by the most beautiful waterfalls, you could hear the water flowing gracefully. the rivers could heal you by just touching their crystal clear water. the crystals that had the most high energetic frequency, they helped us heal this island, they helped us healing our people. atlantis were the place were love and peace ruled over everything. now it lives in our memories. but it's still there somewhere. my home is there, out there, somewhere."

hello guys this is for my reality shifters <3 This reading is for making us more aware about our hidden desires and true intentions especially on our shifting journey.

how to choose a picture: try to calm down, take deep breaths & use your intuition to select. Take you time and chose the picture you feel the most drawn to. (You can choose more than one picture.)

Hello pile one :D You are my eagle children. You guys are truly strongly independent! You are definitely both physically and spiritually very strong. Fire and earth could be also strong in your natal chart if you're into astrology. I feel like when people mess with you they are hit with karma (as they should ofc). Your past seems kinda heavy and I think you went through many (internal) transformations throughout your life. You always look forward, seeking the truth and your freedom in this world. You might like strong and bright colors (yellow, blue, green) as well as black. Your energy is confident, you know what you want and you know how to take care of yourself. When going forth with your actions, you do it boldly and fearlessly. You work hard and always push yourself because you truly want to become the best and the brightest version of yourself. (I can tell you already shine really bright <3) I feel like because you are such a strong force, you won’t stop at nothing until you reach your personal goal- being at peace with yourself and enjoying your freedom. The people in your life come and go, they don’t seem to keep your company for too long because they often can’t keep up with you. And that’s not bad because those people are not the people you need! You might sometimes feel lonely on this path but soon it will be all worth it.

You are a lone wolf, usually enjoying your own solitude. You like challenges and stepping into the unknown. The possibility of shifting to other realities gives you so much freedom. It fuels your desire to experience and learn more and it helps ultimately to find yourself and getting closer to your own truth. You went through lots of pain and heartbreak but it encouraged you to use your pain as a lesson learned. Now, you want to heal, to release all this past pain and to let go - and reality shifting helps you heal your inner child.

I think you hated being denied things or not being able to stuff because of this society and their dull way of thinking. You might hate conservatism and superficiality. You don’t want to follow what you’re being told or follow trends. You have a rebellious side to you and you also seem a bit greedy - you’ve been starved of so many things in your life till now and you just want to have it all - you are tired of lack and restrictions. Reality shifting is like an opportunity - not your destiny. You are an opportunist and you’d take all of the things that seem advantages to you.

You are intelligent and have so much creativity. And you just wanna make use of all those ideas you have and try them out - you are the type who enjoys learning by doing or by watching other people cuz you’re so smart ;) You don’t want a boring standard life - it would never satisfy you. You want to escape the ordinary and live a magical and adventurous life - and reality shifting brings you closer to this kind of life you desire.

Lots of blessings to you!

Hello my pile two sweethearts <3 You bring light into this world, tbh you are a blessing. I feel like you are my spiritual pile. You’re innately intelligent like your way of thinking is so different - your gifts are beyond what the normal human mind can grasp. You may be drawn to the healing arts, as you are sensitive to the subtle and enjoy working on the level of spirit(s). Though I feel like you are the type to underestimate the impact you make in the world. Oh, and setting personal boundaries might also be something you struggle with. You’re probably more extroverted and really friendly, caring and empathetic. Coming in contact with you inspires people and triggers their desire to change - it like … changes their life lmao. If you’re not into spirituality yet - I think you should get into it, cuz I feel like you’d connect really well with it and you could find like-minded people/spirits :) (I love your energy <3)

I think you also really enjoy art, beauty, love and creative expression. And that is surely represented in the type of desired realites you’re shifting to. You have an idealistic, playful side to you and I think you just want to enjoy yourself - especially in your DRs. YOu might be a bit scatter-brained and easily feel bored which could lead to you often changing your script or being indecisive about certain things - I just wanna tell that you don’t need to script that much, like… trust your subconsciousness because it’s also you and it knows how you are and what you want - and it will be represented in your DRs, so don’t worry too much.

Your shifting ideas might be quite abstract or unusual - I feel like you really enjoy the fantasy genre and like fairy tales and stuff like that. It’s all about pleasure with you guys. I feel like you also romantice material wealth and drama (you know those princess/duchess stories) in your Drs. You want to experience unconditional love and luxus and to follow your heart and passion. Overall, you are more the type to put heart over head. You want to start exploring and putting your dreams and passion to action. Tho, I feel like you also enjoy that aspect of using your mind (head) for scripting and not just act out of compassion (heart).

I think you sometimes get tired of this ‘gray’ world we’re living in - the news are full of politics, wars, crime, climate change etc and it really drains you and your spirit. The energy is too heavy for you and you just wanna escape - even though escapism can be unhealthy, I feel like your spirit/soul is so precious it needs this kind of escapism to survive. Before getting to know about reality shifting, you might have daydreamed often as a coping mechanism. I hope you develop a healthy approach to reality shifting. Don’t feel bad for ‘escaping’ because it feeds your soul and inner child. But please ground yourself in each reality and don’t get unhealthily attached <3

To me it seems you are also very romantic and you love those stories where a love couple endures a lot of hardships but survive and end up in their own paradise - love that last endlessly long. You might have scripts of this kind of magical love - relationships build on respect, harmony and support. It inspires you and gives you that emotional fulfillment. Tho, if it is not about romantic relationships it could also signify non-romantic partners. Like those types of friendship where you go on an adventure together - it’s about bonding with like-minded people, feeling understood and appreciated - feeling like you belong to somewhere.

Another reason for shifting could also be that sometimes you feel stuck and can’t make a decision, so you shift somewhere else (like to your waiting room) to find time to think and reflect and get a change of view and then come back. It’s like cheating lmao…(I’d do that too). Does time stress you out sometimes? You probably script it that way so that no time passes when you go back to your main reality/current reality. Also, I feel like there is cruelty around you that you want to escape or you suffer through anxiety and/or fears from time to time and you want to escape that? Although, I think you sometimes tend to worry about certain situations a little too much, when in reality it isn’t as bad as you think it is. That’s why it’s important to ground yourself in each reality even in your main reality.

Your energy reminds me of lots of warm pastel colors - baby pink, baby blue, light yellow - it’s very comfortable. Lots of blessings to you!

Hello pile three~ Puh, your eyes/energy is intense… I just heard “intelligence is the sexiest attribute” lmao okkk you guys are the intense and intelligent ones (any scorpios here? lol). You are very private and mysterious individuals and you are very protective of yourself. I feel like you are the type to experience the most crazy stuff while shifting but like no one knows about it… like I got “if you commit the perfect heist, make sure you don’t brag about it.” … Are you like… killing people in your DRs?? oh my gosh this is so crazy. You definitely have the mindset of - if you share your personal life, it’s not personal. You enjoy leaving other people oblivious. You feel powerful because of that. Having more knowledge and experience than others makes you feel superior. Ngl that’s attractive… ok I gotta stop simping. It seems like you are more the introverted type and prefer retreating and being in solitude but when provoked you might get aggressive lol and you don’t fear looking someone straight into their eyes. There is a side of you that is kinda cold-hearted and you might generally shove people away from you. You don’t mind waiting or pausing and watching how things solve themselves. You are always present but just prefer observing others from a slight distance. So, you might shift to your favorite series/anime/movies and I am sure you would not turn the story and make it about yourself but you would just want to be there and see the story for yourself with your own eyes. You don’t want to intervene or change something, you want to see the raw and original including all its dark sides.

Even though you might seem cold at first there is a deep-loving side beneath that facade you wear. And I feel like you only have that strong and cold facade because you yourself are very fragile in a way and you might have strong emotions - like almost overwhelmingly. You are deep and introspective and I think you’d make a great teacher and leader - helping others finding their path in life. But you are also a ‘student of life’ and eager for knowledge. Overall it seems like you are quite humble and wise. But in your dark times, you might act a bit know-it-all and egocentric - I think learning something new in those times might help you ground yourself again.

Anyways, so… as another reason you’re shifting to other realities could also be about experiencing being on top, in a powerful position and exercising authority… like an emperor/empress. You have high ambitions and you want to provide for others and experiencing stuff like that (being in a powerful position and taking responsibility) creates a solid foundation for you. Also, being in control, creating structures exercising law and order are things that you really enjoy - you kinda want to be like a father figure to others. Make sure not to let your need for control get to your head <3

You might also enjoy being in a strange place/world and feeling lost and confused …idk. It’s something about your subconsciousness or surreal worlds (DRs)... Do you have many fears? There is a theme of projecting your own fears into your external environment. But also breaking illusions … sorry for being so vague, the energy is hard to identify. But please don’t do yourself any harm in your DRs </3

Moving on, you also like shifting to other realities to spend some time replenishing your strength and to refresh your mind in a calm space. It’s like… not always having to be present in your main reality/current reality and enjoying taking on a passive role without feeling bad about it. I think you do that in stressful times or when you’re almost having a burn out.

I think you also are very attached to memories and you like making new memories and reflecting back on them from time to time. It’s like something that only belongs to you… your own world/reality and those realities get more and more important to you the more time you spend in them. It’s a very nostalgic and innocent energy. Did you perhaps shift back to your childhood times? To reunite with past people?

Last but not least, you also like the aspect of limitlessness and resourcefulness, you have all you need (your mind) to experience anything you want. And you enjoy utilizing your mind to create what you want in life. You’re in charge of your reality and that gives you the power you crave! You’re are very creative and have many unique ideas - so make use of them! :)

Lots of blessings to you!

How to Distinguish Between Visions and Imagination

Magic exists. But don’t fool yourself into seeing it where it isn’t.

WHEN ASLEEP

When your dream is about something you saw, heard or thought about in the last few days, it means nothing.

If you watched a documentary about tigers and you dream of a tiger, that is not a divine message. It is just your mind processing information.

But if you dream of being in a medieval banquet, when you have not watched an Arthurian film in months and have not thought about buffets in days, then you might be wandering in a past life.

WHEN AWAKE

When you are sleepy or lost in thought, and you find yourself seeing, hearing or smelling things that are not there, they mean nothing.

If you are daydreaming about going to Disneyland and you suddenly hear the sound of a carousel, you simply have an active imagination.

But if you are very focused on finishing a paper, and the words on your screen suddenly warp into the shape of a rollercoaster, then you are having a waking vision.

WHEN SCRYING

When the images you see are merely derived from the colors or marks on your scrying instrument, then you are not scrying.

If your crystal ball has a scratch in the shape of a musical note, and you see a piano, your mind is simply thinking creatively.

But if your scrying mirror is entirely spotless, and yet from its center, you see a detailed portrait emerging, only then are you really scrying.

WHEN WORSHIPPING

When what you see on your altar are slight movements that take only a moment, your god did not create them.

If you are looking at Venus’ portrait while praying to her, and you see her smile for a second, you are only imagining it.

But if you see her running her hand through her hair while you hear the soft sound of her fingers against it, then she is hearing your prayer and enjoying your presence.

Do you have any book recommendations to learn more about roman paganism and roman festivals? I'm interestes as a neo-pagan witch expanding and changing their craft. This is where my inspiration led me but I struggle to find sources.

Roman books and writings, mostly. That's the most authentic you can get with Roman polytheism & festivals. No one knows their own religion better than the people who practiced it but you have to vibecheck them for political agenda because a lot of these writers lived under tyrannical rule.

Cicero, Livy, Varro, Virgil (with caution), Ovid (double checking), Plautus, Horace, Tibullus, etc. I recommend looking through NovaRoma, Perseus.edu, or Penelope.edu for original Latin texts. Latin Library works too but it usually doesn't have translations.

Some books that aren't Ancient but have decent information:

A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology

Roman religion in Livy

Malevolent Gods and Promethean Birds: Contesting Augury in Augustus's Rome

Omens and Augury in Plautus

A Dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities

The Roman Festivals of the Period of the Republic

A Companion to Families in the Greek and Roman Worlds

I have PDFs/links to all of these sources, so if you can't find something, just ask me.

Hope it helped!
