☆ ⊹ ₊˚ LOADING . . .

hello. this is a side blog dedicated to my spiritual practice. i tend to forget that these things exist, so it probably won’t be updated too much.

started my practice when i was a kid. i’ve been doing this for 16 years now. gonna keep 90% of my practice to myself still, but might share things here and there. in saying that, this account is primarily for my enjoyment. i’m happy to teach a bit and answer questions, simply do not expect it consistently. instead, expect things like memes, doodles, and commentary.

i’ll put more about my practice below, for those who are curious. remember to be respectful here. alright, bye.

i primarily focus on divination and spirit work.

when it comes to divination, my preferred methods are tarot and lenormand — but i am competent with oracle, other forms of cartomancy, channeling, astragalomancy (dice), shufflomancy (music), and dowsing; and have an interest in using cleromancy in the future. i’m also clariaudient, clairvoyant, and clairsentient.

in regards to spirit work, i primarily work with angels and demons. i have interacted with several kinds of entities before. this includes: demons, angels, gods, egregores, and ghosts.

as of currently writing this, i have no intention on sharing every entity on my spirit team; mostly because i do not have explicit permission from everyone yet. however, i do have permission from some of them. in no specific order, these beings are;

father adam (patron)

lord mammon

lord beelzebub

duke haures

lord asmodeus

that is where i’ll leave this. thank you for reading. goodbye now.

going to see cirque du soleil tonight! my patron, adam, is also associated with performing arts; so it’s become a devotional act. he’s picked out my outfit for me :) <3

[canidaestars]

i let him know before i left that if he wanted anything for his altar, to let me know. he asked for a fucking fidget spinner. i hate him /j

asked my primary, very serious tarot deck if i could ask stupid questions. they said yes. i figured i’d share the results. they’re under the cut. i promise we get along (/silly)

key:

me

card(s) pulled

translation

and if your deck — whether tarot, oracle, lenormand, or whatever cards you got — is down, i highly recommend this as a bonding practice lmao.

(please note that i am clairaudient and believe everything has a spirit of some kind. also, for my decks, because it’s easier for me to remember: cups + wands is yes, swords + coins is no, major is maybe.)

“if it hadn’t been for cotton-eye joe, i’d been married long time ago. where did you come from, where did you go? where did you come from, cotton-eye joe?”

page of coins, reversed

"when you said stupid, i didn’t think this stupid. my expectations for you were too high. you’re lucky you’re important to me. my answer is no."

-

“is the bird’s word the good word?”

knight of cups, upright

"yes. it’s rather charming actually. very useful too. they hear all. you should listen to it sometime."

-

“how many licks does it take to get to the centre of a lollipop?”

king of cups, upright

the hermit, reversed

ten of cups, reversed

three of coins, reversed

six of wands, reversed

"about 37, if you’re serious and set your standards high. but you’d have to be alone and isolated to do that. though, if you are trying that, you’re probably lacking sense anyways. especially for something that reaps no reward."

-

“so what would happen if she said go he would be bye hello wow he yes no and?”

six of swords, reversed

seven of wands, upright

"what."

-

“is it possible to out-pizza the hut?”

knight of swords, reversed

"no, and trying would prove tactless."

-

“how much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?”

the star, upright

strength, reversed

nine of coins, upright

queen of cups, reversed

"it depends. if they have faith in themselves, then they will reap those rewards and the woodchuck could chuck a lot of wood. if they are insecure, then that will tower over them and the woodchuck could not chuck a lot of wood."

-

“would you still love me if i was a worm?”

five of cups, upright

six of coins, reversed

five is swords, reversed

"yes. it would be a shame if you turned into a worm. i do not think that would be fair to you. if you were to turn into a worm, i would hope for there to be a resolution where you return as human. partially because i care, partially because i would have no one else to bully, and partially because you would have no one to ask these questions to."

I can't believe this needs said, but spirituality is not a competition. you should not be throwing around years of experience in an attempt to pull rank on another practitioner. truly experienced practitioners are seen without the need to boast

[canidaestars]

THIS!!

nowadays, so many people see this as a reason to put others down. a reason to be rude and try to write away consequences. a reason to say; “i can do [x] so i’m clearly a better practitioner than you”.

let me be real blunt about this: all you’re telling me is where you’re insecure in your practice and/or life. that is what you’re doing by going around beating others down. you’re opening up your own weaknesses for others to exploit whenever they feel like it.

and then so many of them wonder why we praise shadow work so highly. this is the reason. once you’re in a position where you are comfortable with yourself and your abilities, and you don’t feel the need to brag and gloat, it will be so much harder to take advantage of your shadows; because you have already worked on them and don’t let them tear you down.

plus, it’s called witchcraft. you should be crafting what your private practice looks like, and others should be doing that as well. so of course everyone’s practice looks different. it’s supposed to be.

yes, education is so so important; but there is a difference between educating and bullying.

this is the same for religious practices. not just abrahamic religions, all of them; even the lack thereof. the following comment is no hate to the religion whatsoever, simply something i have noticed — many hellenic polytheists run around online telling others how to do their practice as if everyone they come across is a hellenic polytheist. especially with practitioners who may work with hellenic entities casually, but don’t follow the religion. evangelicals/christian nationalists do the same, and even atheists calling people stupid for finding something to believe in. that whole topic has become less of a conversation and more of a cesspool of bullying.

this was a bigger ramble than i intended; but my point is, leave others alone. if they’re minding their business, then mind your own. if they make a mistake and aren’t asking for help, let them — it is a brilliant way to learn.

letting others do their own thing won’t kill you.

Whatever entity I’m working with when I get distracted yet again and start rambling uncontrollably:

[canidaestars]

my sister’s visiting, you know what that means?

archangel uriel time.

mercury retrograde is finally over. maybe people will chill out now. fuck did so many people online decide that the time to slow down and minimise social media communication was a brilliant time to lose their shit on the internet. if you know, you know.

take the time to banish, cleanse, protect, and decide what you really wanna do for the next five months.

and for anybody worried about saturn retrograde: it happens every year. this isn’t a new event. this year, it’s in aries; so mind your ego, don’t be a perfectionist and instead learn from experience, take responsibility for everything you do, and get your finances in order. now’s a good time to do things with intention rather than rushing into shit. you’ll be fine.

[canidaestars]

a difficult pill to swallow: manifestation does not stop when you want it to.

you cursing yourself out every time you make a mistake? that will culminate. you pushing people and/or your spirit team away every time you feel upset? that will culminate. you saying that you will never be good enough or mean something to someone? that will culminate.

and this is not just your manifestations about your life. it’s also others and their lives. even the lives of humanity itself, if enough people manifest it.

those people telling people to hurt themselves constantly? that will culminate. those people who praise a certain lifestyle? that will culminate. those who believe that a future is imminent and a prophecy to be foretold? that will culminate.

this is why the banishment/cleansing/protection trio exist. this is also why you need to be mindful of what is being heavily praised and where you want to be in that situation. you should not try to control everything, but you cannot stop everything.

let yourself manifest positively, do your shadow work to aide the negativity, and remember that everyone else has the right and ability to manifest their desires in turn.
