I share things I like. Whether thatโ€™s dark aesthetic content, religious, queer, plus size, or any other thing that strikes my fancy.

DNI if youโ€™re bigoted in any way, folkish or racist, homophobic, or fatphobic.

This blog is 21+.

Otherwise, enjoy. ๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿฅ€

Some little things I've learned over a decade of witchcraft:

  • If you are feel called to work but are tired/drained, sit outside. Take in all the energies around you. Nature can help charge you
  • Every witch does a little bit of a bunch of types of magic but sticks mainly to one or two in general. You usually won't be eclectic forever. You'll find what magics work best with you.
  • Never be lazy or cut corners with spirits. Always be respectful and always tell them to leave when you're done
  • When you see a plant or ingredient with a long list of properties, there are different things at play. Season of collection, the part of the plant, the health of the plant, etc all play a role in impacting which properties it will carry.
  • Don't call on spirits unless you have confidence and control
  • Be careful with sea/water magic. Get into it gently and slowly until you have the energy figured out because it can get out of hand quickly.
  • Adding a little pinch of magic into your breakfast can make a major difference in your day.
  • Your personal emotions/feelings over something will impact a work
  • Planting some plants is good, not only to have a garden, but the dirt helps cleanse you too. Get all dirty and muddy. It's good for ya
  • Not all trees are nice
  • The more you listen to your intuition, the easier it will be to tell it apart from your anxieties and worries
  • Incense is very easy to make which is why it's usually cheap to buy. But you can find a million tutorials online on how to make your own personal incense which is great if you want a spell to take effect over a while but also want to infuse the fire energy in it.
  • The more you work with something the better feel you get for it. Cinnamon goes in almost everything i cook and most of my spells because me and cinnamon just get right along
  • Your path is yours and no one else's. It will look like yours and no one else's

PLEASE DO NOT USE TIKTOK AS A RESOURCE FOR HELLENIC POLYTHEISM

Tiktok is probably one of THE WORST places to learn about REAL hellenic polytheism because it is rampant with misinformation and most creators are only interested in views and parroting misinformation THEY heard. Yes there are some great and informative creators on there to learn about the hellenic gods but they are far and few in-between.

INSTEAD if you're new to the religion and have no clue where to start researching/learning, here are a few phenomenal creators on here with wonderful and informative posts!

@wisdom-devotee has an amazing guide for starting out in hellenic polytheism

@seasaltdevotion also recently made a fantastic post on resources for starting out

@crazycatsiren has a SUPER long list of resources and research material

@khaire-traveler has possibly the greatest list on subtle deity worship for just about every god

Please actually learn from those of us that truly love and covet this religion and spread information that will truly benefit you.
