idk why this site is so… anti gods being gods.

like yeah, ofc some gods are demanding/jelaous/etc. not every god is a therapist focused on self-love. gods are domains of energies - some gods will kick your ass, usually for you to improve. some gods don’t want you to worship other gods or don’t work well with them. some gods set their demands and boundaries and instead of comforting you tell you to pull your shit together and fight.

like, gods can care about us and be empathetic, but they aren’t human and could never understand the anxiety and pain and beauty being a mortal brings.

The nazis that you see in movies are as much a historical fantasy as vikings with horned helmets and samurai cutting people in half.

The nazis were not some vague evil that wanted to hurt people for the sake of hurting them. They had specific goals which furthered a far right agenda, and they wanted to do harm to very specific groups, (largely slavs, jews, Romani, queer people, communists/leftists, and disabled people.)

The nazis didn't use soldiers in creepy gas masks as their main imagery that they sold to the german people, they used blond haired blue eyed families. Nor did they stand up on podiums saying that would wage an endless and brutal war, they gave speeches about protecting white Christian society from degenerates just like how conservatives do today.

Nazis weren't atheists or pagans. They were deeply Christian and Christianity was part of their ideology just like it is for modern conservatives. They spoke at lengths about defending their Christian nation from godless leftism. The ones who hated the catholic church hated it for protestant reasons. Nazi occultism was fringe within the party and never expected to become mainstream, and those occultists were still Christian, none of them ever claimed to be Satanists or Asatru.

Nazis were also not queer or disabled. They killed those groups, before they had a chance to kill almost anyone else actually. Despite the amount of disabled nazis or queer/queer coded nazis you'll see in movies and on TV, in reality they were very cishet and very able bodied. There was one high ranking nazi early on who was gay and the other nazis killed him for that. Saying the nazis were gay or disabled makes about as much sense as saying they were Jewish.

The nazis weren't mentally ill. As previously mentioned they hated disabled people, and this unquestionably included anyone neurodivergent. When the surviving nazi war criminals were given psychological tests after the war, they were shown to be some of the most neurotypical people out there.

The nazis weren't socialists. Full stop. They hated socialists. They got elected on hating socialists. They killed socialists. Hating all forms of lefitsm was a big part of their ideology, and especially a big part of how they sold themselves.

The nazis were not the supervillians you see on screen, not because they didn't do horrible things in real life, they most certainly did, but because they weren't that vague apolitical evil that exists for white American action heros to fight. They did horrible things because they had a right wing authoritarian political ideology, an ideology that is fundamentally the same as what most of the modern right wing believes.

Super easy and cheap devotional acts for beginners.

and on this note, literally steal. Not from small local thrift stores, but I mean this with my whole chest, steal from Value Village. If you can sneakily swap a tag and get something for cheaper literally do it. Value Village gets all their inventory for free I literally do not care. Corporate thrift stores don’t deserve rights. I steal from Value Village as a devotional act to Hermes 😊 lmao )

Learn how to block print! It’s very simple. You get a block of linoleum (usually pretty cheap, I think mine were like $5) , some ink (~$10), and a carving tool (varies depending), and make a sigil stamp! All you gotta do is draw your sigil and carve it out nicely one time. You can still bless it and imbue it with your energy, and you can easily put it on prayers, talismans etc.

I love you psychotic pagans

• Pagans that get delusions that interfere with worship!

• Pagans that get religious delusions! Delusions of grandeur! Delusions of control!

• Pagans who can’t discern between hallucinations, delusions, and the Gods!

• Pagans who get hallucinations of the Gods!

• Pagans that get auditory hallucinations! Tactile hallucinations! Visual hallucinations! Olfactory hallucinations! Internal hallucinations!

• Pagans who get intrusive thoughts!

• Pagans who experience negative symptoms that make it hard to worship!

• Pagans whose psychosis makes it hard to worship in general!

• Pagans who think their psychosis brings them closer to the Gods!

• Pagans who get disorganized thoughts. Who can’t pray because of them!

• Pagans on medication! Pagans who can’t be medicated, who don’t want to be medicated, who aren’t medicated!

You’re all seen. You’re all loved. The Gods understand when things get tough.

Your Polytheist reminder that if you have altars in your home, then ...

Vacuuming, cleaning up the clutter, dusting... all of it.

Housework suddenly becomes not only easier but spiritually fulfilling when I play music and envision that I am not cleaning my bedroom or apartment but in fact cleaning my modern day temple.

You can dedicate cleaning each room or each corner to a specific deity if you like in addition to your altars.

Cleaning itself is not only great active meditation (it's when I get my best deity insights, such as this very post) but is such an underrated act of worship and devotion.

Witchy tip: sweeping dust etc out the door is a super effective cleansing activity that doesn't require expensive herbs or other ingredients.

Go forth and clean thy temples, babes. 😘🕯🧹

I didn't realize this needed to be said, but uhh

If you are a Nazi, you have no place in paganism.

(Or anywhere, actually 🙂)

And to clarify (since ya'll need that, apparently), that includes people who are transphobic, homophobic, pro-eugenics (i.e. social darwinism anti-vaxxer people), anti-immigrant, racist, etc.

Ya'll don't belong here, paganism is not a safe place for you, and I don't want you interacting with my blog.

No TERFS, no conservatives, none of it. Freedom and equality for all.

Being a Witch IS Political

Witchcraft and spirituality are inherently political. To embrace these paths without acknowledging their history and ongoing struggles is to reduce them to mere aesthetics. True witches—and spiritual practitioners—understand that the essence of these practices is rooted in resistance, justice, and transformation.

Historically, witches were the wise women and healers of their communities. They tended to the sick, midwifed births, and served as the keepers of ancient knowledge. Their craft connected them deeply to nature, the cycles of life, and the unseen forces that govern our world. These practices often placed them on the fringes of society, not because they were wrong or dangerous, but because their power defied the status quo.

These women (and men) were political figures simply by existing. They challenged patriarchal systems, capitalist greed, and authoritarian control. When they provided herbal remedies or midwifed safely outside the church's purview, they defied institutions that sought to monopolize power over life and death.

The witch trials of history were political acts, targeting those who threatened established hierarchies. Witches were scapegoated for plagues, famines, and dissent, often accused because they stood up for their communities, demanded justice, or refused to conform to societal expectations.

Even today, to identify as a witch or spiritual practitioner is to take a stand. It is to honor the marginalized, to value the Earth over profit, and to seek balance in a world obsessed with domination. It is to embrace healing, not only for ourselves but for others and the planet—a deeply political act in a culture that prioritizes profit and power over people and ecosystems.

Being a witch means advocating for what is right, even at risk to our comfort or safety. It means standing against oppression, environmental destruction, and systemic injustice. To claim this path is to reclaim the legacy of those who came before us—the wise women, healers, and rebels who walked this path at great personal cost.

If you are drawn to witchcraft, spirituality, or paganism, understand that this is more than crystals and candles. It is a call to action, a commitment to live authentically and fight for a better world. Anything less is a disservice to the courageous souls who paved the way for us.

[PLAIN TEXT: My Lord, my Jesus, grant me constancy in my devotion, grant me the grace to descend into the grief of your sorrowful Passion, and to always fix on you my eyes, my heart, and my mind. As you go into the desert, Jesus, let me follow you. From the temptation to turn away from suffering, O Jesus, deliver me. From the temptation to dismiss my sorrow and the sorrow of others, O Jesus, deliver me. From the temptation to lose myself in distractions, O Jesus, deliver me. From the temptation to choose the pleasures of this world over your calling, O Jesus, deliver me. From the temptation to bury my feelings and cut myself off from your compassion, and others from mine, O Jesus, deliver me. From the temptation to reject and run from darkness, forgetting that it can never overcome your light, O Jesus, deliver me. To follow you into the wilderness, to bear hunger and thirst and never falter, Jesus, let me stay true. To withstand the temptations of the devil and of this world, Jesus, let me stay true. To wake with you in the garden and not turn from your agony, Jesus, let me stay true. To walk with you to Calvary and wipe the sweat and blood from your brow, Jesus, let me stay true. To fix my eyes upon injustice and never grow callous, Jesus, let me stay true. To let the sorrow of this world deeply pierce me and move me to compassion and right action, Jesus, let me stay true. To gladly carry my own cross, and help others carry theirs, Jesus, let me stay true. To strip away all my defenses and open my heart to your unfailing love, that I may grow smaller and you greater in me, that I no longer live but you live in me, that I may be a vessel to bring your light into this world, Jesus, let me stay true. /end PT]
