All gods you choose to work with have incredibly different energies. Some are very calming and make you feel safe while others are so strong they make your teeth hurt. Once you make contact with different entities you’re able to tell the difference between what energy is present while you are working. That being said, here is my experience working with Poseidon as well as tips on how to contact him, make offerings, and overall how to work with a god like him.
Poseidon in particular has always had a unique energy to me. You feel it more around you than on you and if he touches you it’s incredibly intense. It normally starts as a tingle in my back that spreads all over and you know you’re being watched. His energy has always been the easiest to connect to for me and I know the exact second he is present.
He is god of the sea so if you are planning on making contact with him I’d suggest going to a beach. While I am very fortunate to have a house on the water I cannot always go there so I improvise in my bathtub with sea salt and candles. I’d suggest meditating and opening yourself up to receiving energies and simply asking him to appear. My first time it took many prayers but suddenly I knew I wasn’t alone.
Offerings to him such as candies, liquor, seashells, bread, artwork, and crystals also appease him and would work as a bribery of sorts to get him to start working with you. He is a god though so be consistent with your offerings and never give more than you can. He’s incredibly powerful and you can feel that so he’s very useful in helping out with spells.
My first time working with him he came in contact with me through my dreams with another goddess so he definitely will contact you seperatly if he wants to work with you. Most gods are territorial in a way of their followers so if you are planning on making big deals with him you should know exactly what you’re getting into. Although most people are not planning on only serving him so my best advice would be to make your reasons known for contacting him.
Keeping a fish tank is great to keep in contact and leaving offerings by that is even better. Please please please treat your fish correctly if you are planning this. Poseidon is also god of horses so if you are able to keep them they are a great way to honor him. Other ways to honor him on the daily would be swimming in a pool, meditating in a shower, sitting by a lake, or even donating to charities that help the oceans.
Working with Poseidon may also lead to working with mermaids (or sirens), the fae, and even Aphrodite in some cases. All of these entities revolve around the water and once they see you caring for creatures they care for, they will be more willing to work with you. This is especially good when it come to the fae due to their nature of being hard to come in contact with.
Poseidon is a very powerful being and working with him will give you some of that power but with all entities comes some warnings. You should know a lot about a god before making any deals and remember to always stand your ground. Overall though he is a very rewarding individual and I would highly reccomend people at least contact him, for he is one of the original gods in the Greek Pantheon.
If you have any questions about him or any other god, feel free to message me! I also take requests on what to talk about and I’ve never posted any of my spells on Tumblr before but I’d be down to create some spells for people.
