Recipes as offerings for Hestia

Ask for family recipes, or favourite recipes of your loved ones. You can make a dedicated section for those recipes.

Think of practicality. A binder with laminated pages or recipes in sleeves will be harder to get dirty and wet. An organised binder will be easier to keep up with and add on pages.

If you don't want a recipe book, you can make a recipe box. Make cards with recipes and decorate a little wooden chest or box with symbols and colours of Hestia.

Throughout the month, save recipes to later try and add to your recipe book.

Take pictures of meals you make, add them to show the recipe, or by the end of the month, make a collage of everything you've prepared.

"get home safe" is a spell and i am casting it on all of you ✨

I don’t know who needs to hear this,

There was no universal Scandinavian religion, or Slavic, or Celtic.

They were multiple mini cultures with changing and differing views.

That’s why we have different beliefs on who was the ‘High God’ in the Norse myths and physical evidence that we have left. Tyr, Freyr, Odin; have all been the High God in different cultures. Because people didn’t collect under orthodox and shared religion in a pre Christian world the way they do now.

You can now make a more collective religion, but saying there was always one, is a mistake at best and pseudo history at worst.

EU Based Witchy Shop ~ Altar Item Restock

After 4 long years, I'm finally able to restock altar items! It took me a while to find a supplier (after we relocated the shop to Austria) that shared my values, but it was worth the wait! The quality of the items is great, and everything is just so cute. I'm really happy.

Since I have so many other things coming to the shop this month, if you'd like to place an order for these items and keep it an open box for now, just write a note at checkout! I will hold your shipment and I'll make sure you're either refunded shipping on your next order or I'll leave it off your invoice if it's from my next tumblr sale. Just keep in mind a lot of these items are heavy, so you may just want them to ship separately anyway.

And, finally, I just got a couple of each items to see what you all like the best. If you'd like to order something that ends up selling out, just let me know! I will reorder soon.

If you have any questions, just let me know. :)

I hate to say it, but victimhood is not a good look for witchcraft. Claiming an entire lineage of pain and persecution, often of minorities, as a fundamental part of your personality doesn't make you a witch. You can, however, acknowledge the past and build wisdom from it. But pretending like every Tom, Dick and Harry is secretly against you and that you're such an edge lord for being out on the liminal is definitely not witchcraft.

[templeofthat]

Like, I understand it from one perspective. It's an acknowledgment of a fundamental historical fact, albeit that the people persecuted were not always witches, sometimes, they were people receiving the short end of the group politics stick during a time of mass hysteria. It also gives an identification, by looking at these figures of the past, much like how catholics identify their suffering with the saints, we gain some sense of gratitude for where we are now.

But the way some people do it. Basing their entire identity on it and making it seem as though every personal query is an attack on them? That is not what we're supposed to ne doing. If anything, the history of the Witch Trials is supposed to remind us of what happens when power is abused and when people are collected against a scapegoat and to prevent that in the present.

Is there any popular occult movement from the 19th century that Blavatsky DIDN'T have an influence on?

Electro therapy?

I'm not even joking the answer is probably no.

Humans literally evolved armpit and pubic hair to be more musky as a result of sexual selection and now the beauty industry is telling you to shave your bush and armpits. I trust the taste of a prehistoric cave woman more than the taste of a Gillette marketing department thank you very much.

Chinese Folk Religion Resource List

Basically, all the current online references I use for my practice.

(might be updated if I add other things to my normal references)

Your milage may vary, especially because I’m a solitary practitioner trying to pull from my own syncretistic roots, and because folk practices vary by region and family practices. My own family rejected traditional folk practices when they converted to Christianity and refuse to discuss it, so I’m building mine without their help or knowledge to guide me.

For divination:

Online I Ching

This is my favorite I Ching system I’ve found thus far, and I feel like it gives a good breakdown of the meaning of each hexagram.

Methods of Reading

This page lists a bunch of different ways used to generate I Ching hexagrams, including using coins, numbered sticks, colored objects, etc.

Lunar cycles:

Chinese Calendar

This page shows you the overview of each month with the dates of each full and new moon, and any festivals or holidays.

For other stuff:

JSTOR Asian folklore resources

Not specifically Chinese, but there’s a great spread of information here. The articles start with the featured topic or articles in the edition, and then a bunch of book reviews sorted by country.

Heathen Chinese

This blog is one of my favorites for information. Their posts about the “Chinese Religion in Malaysia” article are especially useful for a breakdown of all that information.

I'm almost done with my largest crochet project, so here's a couple details from behind the scenes 🌿🌙

[haunted-faes]

i keep seeing this on my timeline, so let me be clear

judaism is semi-closed. practices related to judaism require a barrier for entry. judaism is an indigenous religion and reserve the right to protect their cultural practices.

lilith is not open. kabbalah is not open. jewish mystism is not open.

there are ways to learn about these things and get involved in a community that do not involve stealing from indigenous cultures. in fact, you are less of a witch if your craft is stealing from closed and marginalized communities.

jewish people deserve to feel safe and to be welcomed with open arms into the witchcraft and practitioner community

[kchan3s]

I actually don't believe Lilith is not open .-. The myth of Lilith wasn't even original in their bible—it was originated in the Middle Ages, and I doubt most Jews even care or know about Lilith, because they should be believing in Yeshua, no? Wouldn't worshipping Lilith be a sin for then? (Not that Jewish people cannot do witchcraft or be pagan, but most definitely don't and their traditional religion wouldn't be in the favor of the ones who do) Why don't people argue theistic Satanism is stealing from them as well then.

Second, Lilith it is said that pre-dates the bible, originating from an ancient goddess of mesopotamia called Lilitu, who had nothing to do with Lilith.

Edit: Now if I don't use that, then Lilith as a word was used to describe monsters (and can be exchanged for the world Lamia), not an actual being. Lilith as Adam's first wife only appeared centuries later.

And speaking about the Lamia, if anyone here is familiar with Greco-Roman monsters, it was a female monster that preyed on children. So did Lilitu, as her job was to kill children.

2nd edit: So I am going to say it clearly: if anyone thinks Lilith is closed, that's bullshit, she was only assimilated by Judaism later and watered down over the centuries. Why don't people argue Satan and Lucifer are closed? Right, they don't and they can't. It's always about Lilith.

Do some research before hunting down Lilith's worshippers. Jewish mysticism is not open and I don't encourage anyone who's not jew to pursue it, but Lilith/Lilitu is. So if you want to worship Lilitu, do it. Actual facts before victimization.

[rose-in-a-fisted-glove]

Holy shit do you know nothing about Judaism. The amount of chutspah it takes to say "actual facts before victimization" when you don't even know who the Jewish Gd is is staggering.

I'm surprised no one else has commented on this but Jewish people do not, never have, and never will worship Christ.

But yes, we don't worship Lilith either, because Lilith is the reason for/personification of why women die in labor, why babies are stillborn, of infant mortality.

Lilith, as a figure/force to be warded off not to be worshipped.

And regarding your complaints that no one says Satan worship isn't open, Judaism doesn't have the concept of Hell the way Christianity does nor does Judaism have a devil figure. Both of those are Christian concepts not found in Judaism.

But also, regarding your comment about Lilith not being in the bible, you do realize that Judaism is a religion on its own and that Jewish people have existed and continue to exist through history, yes? We aren't frozen in a moment of time but a living breathing people. Arguing that something came later than biblical times isn't actually an argument against something being Jewish.

[traegorn]

@kchan3s The name "Lilith" refers exclusively to a figure from Jewish folklore.

Her name is etymologically related to the words for other demons, but those are different words and different names.

And if you claim someone is worshiping something other than the figure from Jewish folklore that has a different name -- then why the fuck aren't you using that other name instead. The math ain't hard on this one.

43. "Lilith"

As long as I can remember, people have been debating whether or not it's okay for non-Jewish witches to incorporate Lilith into their practi

[alexseanchai]

theistic Satanism is a reaction to Christianity that steals a bunch from Christianity, yes? so I bet, if nobody actually is arguing that theistic Satanism is stealing from Judaism, it's only because theistic Satanism and Judaism see each other as afterthoughts to Christianity

I bet that's also one part of why nobody says Satan worship isn't open, the other part being how many Christians say everyone who isn't [their flavor of] Christian is worshipping Satan
