⛦⃝ MORTALE.

Pagan witch ; 15 ; she/they. all this way you have led me, to destroy me again?

[countlesssorrows]

。 🂫 ﹐ INTRODUCTION ‎、 🩸

⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ∿ ⠀ ⠀ i’m mortale/morte/liraz, i’m 15, almost 16, i use she/they, mostly they. genderfluid and a lesbian.

⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ∿ ⠀ ⠀ i speak italian and english, some spanish and some latin.

⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ∿ ⠀ ⠀ i study human sciences in high school, especially the psychological side, which i like to mix with my witch studies.

⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ∿ ⠀ ⠀ my interests are witchcraft, tarot readings, paganism, poetry and mythology. (for now, i’m focusing on protection spells)

⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ∿ ⠀ ⠀ this blog will be about my practice, my e-offerings. my dreams, divination questions and experiences, tips, and possible collective readings.

⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ∿ ⠀ ⠀ i currently work with lilith, lucifer, aphrodite, apollo, loki and persephone. i’m starting to practice also with isis/aset, freyja and hermes.

⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ∿ ⠀ ⠀ i’m interested also in hypnos, thanatos, nyx, circe, selene, helios, eos, sekhmet, anubis/anpu, eros, the morrigan, asmodeus, naamah, baphomet and astaroth. this could mean i could start to worship them, and maybe have interactions with them. a lot, yes, but that’s because it’s easy for me to appreciate the gods.

⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ∿ ⠀ ⠀ i consider myself a eclectic witch, but i’m focused more on death and chaos witchery.

⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ∿ ⠀ ⠀ i’m a soulchild of astaroth, apollo and artemis.

⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ∿ ⠀ ⠀ apart from witchy stuff, i am a fan of BOZ, dostoevskij, hades (1st aphrodite and nyx simp), you, if we were villains, but currently NOT a fan of pjo. i have a passion for uquiz quizzes because they give me the identity i don’t have.

⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ∿ ⠀ ⠀ i can do free readings! esp deity channeled messages. just dm me.

⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ∿ ⠀ ⠀ dms are totally open to not only tarot reading reqs but also to make friends! <33

⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ∿ ⠀ ⠀ since i’m a minor, “MDNI” accounts DNI! terfs dni, homophobes dni, racists dni, white supremacists dni. basically basic dni criteria — -13 DNI, godspouses and pop culture witches CAN interact.

Hey if you’re schizophrenic/psychotic I just want you to know that you’re a wonderful person and that you deserve so much better than the demonization, marginalization and stigmatization you face in this society.

[sweetschizo-deactivated20190808]

Please consider reblogging this/other positivity posts for schizophrenic/psychotic people every once in a while. If you have more than 100 followers, odds are that a couple of them experiences psychosis and that they rarely see positivity posts for people with their symptoms.

May Aphrodite take care of you in the darkest times, may she be a hand to grasp in the darkness.

You're stronger than you know.

Aphrodite will support you on your journey to know yourself, to heal what has been hurt.

I haven't prayed to god in a church in ages. I pray in libraries, in fields, in the summer heat and in the first bite of a warm meal.

I don't pray to god anymore, I don't think I ever did.

I pray to the world around me, to the bugs in the fields, the sunflowers on the side of the road, the water in my garden and to the rain coming down.

I pray to everything beyond this world, to the stars, the planets, all the different masses that fill the space around us.

"Accepting of all religions except for Christianity" isn't the pagan woke thing that you might think it is, by the way.

another silly dream??

i dreamt of having a kid, a girl, and i couldn’t choose the name. then i considered calling her ariadne because of lord dionysus, i do not work with him.

after that someone prepared me pomegranate seeds, MANY, they put them in a plate so i could eat them. it wasn’t someone i knew?? it was a masculine energy though

help???

[countlesssorrows]

being pagan and multi-pantheon means waking up ill not able to breath and with your right eye tearing up just to NOT CHOOSE TO PRAY TO APOLLO, GOD YOU WORK WITH, BUT TO SEKHMET?? OUT OF SURVIVQL INSTICTS? AND SHE FUCKING REPLIED TOO BRO I’M PISSING ALL THE MUCUS OUT WHILE I’M TYPING THIS

jokes on you i actually woke up with all the ennead in my mind for some reason? lmao they were like “yo you dying get up” 😭😭😭

[vvitchybat]

sometimes it's really awkward worshipping gods/goddesses as I always think they're in the room with me. i js did something really embarrassing, and now I'm like "they're laughing at me. I js embarrassed myself, and they're laughing at me 💔"

[countlesssorrows]

me when aphrodite started talking to me while i was taking a bath…i was like “WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE”

Five minutes before god games:

A myth before the soul enters Earth

“There, almost done!” Proclaimed the mother of beauty. The little soul watched her as laughter as holy as the tranquility of starlight echoed through the clouds. “You’ll like it, I’m sure of it.” The goddess assured them before she cast a look over her shoulder that made them pause. Perhaps the soul had been wrong. Perhaps the stars they could find in the sky had been in her eyes. Or perhaps their mother's eyes had been the endless beauty of the cosmos all along. “After all, you carry a part of me with you now.” Her glance now cast deep into the void of the sky. “-of us,“ Aphrodite added, and then smirked as if knowing something they didn’t. Or rather, something they would forget while chained in mortal flesh that she carefully weaved. “I’ve heard earth is different from the other realms,“ the soul voiced their thoughts. They knew they wouldn’t remember, as soon as blood would run through their veins, as if it were Lethe of the waters of Hades. “And?” The gentle voice of the love-rich mother asked them again. The soul had known that already, yes. But that’s why they came here, right? To lose oneself, the journey home and the deep-rooted self-love that would accrue. That kind of love they knew. Yet now they are mixed with the opportunity to learn and grow closer to themselves. “Will you be with me?” This time Aphrodite's smile brighten before she cupped the cheeks of the clay body. „My child, call out, and you shall receive my guiding hands above you. You shall never be truly alone in our world, this I vow. “Helios high above will greet you at days beginning before his sister takes over. If you don't see Selene, you’ll meet the stars, and if the stars don’t meet you, our king surely will.“ The soul looked immensely relieved that they could meet the gods anytime they needed in their journey. Aphrodite created the last strand of hair on their legs. “Remember, you belong to us gods, and to the gods you shall return by Hermes hand.”

A silly dream i had about lady aphrodite.

now, i don’t exactly KNOW why she made me dream such thing — i suspect i was in the astral, actually — but i NEED to let you all read this one.

in this dream i was in my bed, there was lady aphrodite with me. i don’t remember what exactly happened afterwards, but my intuition told me, after the dream, that she might’ve tickled me 😴 because i remember i suddenly fell off the bed and was with my ass on the fucking ground and she looked at me, LAUGHED HER ASS OFF, and gave me a hand to get up again.

OKAY?? i love her creativity with dreams but GOOODDDD i was so embarrassed when i woke up 😭😭

Me forcing myself to offer Apollon art I made even though I think it’s bad because in his eyes there is no bad art

[countlesssorrows]

hi i'm not really all that new to this sort of thing but i keep seeing people use the term "deity work" and i don't exactly understand what it means? like what is it, what does it entail, how is it different from deity worship? could you explain? thank you so much

OBVIOUSLY! let’s start with saying that i’m happy you asked, sometimes, unfortunately, people stay silent even though they don’t understand something and it’s really a shame. i’m really happy you took a step and chose to ask. but i would also like to say: everyone has their own definitions and ways to use them, paganism doesn’t have a shape, it is moldable and that’s the fun of bein pagan! some people might not agree with my point of view, but i’ll let you know of it.

What is deity work? What makes it different from deity worship?

deity work is a practice in which you form a relationship with a deity, which will take form with the time passing. it is stable, they help you in something, maybe shadow work or self-love. it is a giving and receiving type of thing that can be really consistent, and basically you get closer to a deity. the deity will influence your workings and life with their energy, with their signs, and will obviously help you out when they want and can, mostly focusing in aspects of your life that they wanna help you with, most of the times those aspects are very connected to the deities themselves (example: lady aphrodite helps me in love and self-love matters, lady persephone helps me when i need to let something “die”, making me understand i need to let go.).

deity worship is, instead, a casual relationship, where you offer things to the gods, prayers, food, etc, you can get close to them, you can receive their blessings and sometimes help in your worship, but what i’m trying to say is that it is more casual and less intimate, less consistent, they usually don’t interfere much in your life until they offer you to WORK with them, or viceversa and the offer is accepted by both parts.

hope this helps :) it is your choice to get my concept of things and follow it, or make something completely yours! it’s your practice.

[kafkasgirlhood-deactivated20250]

this!

this is a very personal thing but i prefer not to call it “working with” because i'm VERY big on words ( literary analysis fanatic so i love analysing why certain words are used in specific contexts ) and saying “i'm working with xyz” makes me feel like i'm a colleague of some sort ?

and for some people that's their thing , they prefer that! for me , i prefer to acknowledge that the gods are above me so instead of saying “i'm working with xyz” i usually just say “i'm building a bond with xyz”

the point of this post is not to put down or demonise anyone that says they are working with a deity , rather just to let newer / unaware pagans know that you can call it different things if you're not comfortable with the term! it's your practice , and whether you say you're working with a deity , building a bond with a deity , or a completely different term that you prefer , go crazy!

[countlesssorrows]

i totally agree! i don’t like when people go against someone for using certain terms that aren’t BIG in the community, or for just doing things that people usually don’t do.

everyone has their practice and their way of expressing it, the important thing is that they stay respectful to the gods, worshipping them or not — for example, i always keep a respectful demeanor with christianity and the other abrahamic religions and their gods, even though i never worshipped them, because they remain gods and a beliefs still —. i love this religion because everyone has freedom, and i sometimes hate its followers because they do not recognize nor accept the freedom everyone holds.

such a shame, huh? but i love your way of taking your relationship with the gods. it is very creative and also shows respect :)

[countlesssorrows]

anyone wants to be my friend? :( i need new friends!! text me pleaseeee 🙏🏻

[countlesssorrows]

am i the only one who thinks about the fact gods are in their home? like, what do you mean gods visit me? they look at my room, my bed, my clothes, the mess that i make on my couch with all my plushies and clothes, random bras and socks that i didn’t like thrown around…and my parent’s bedroom and all their shiny jewels and cute sculptures, the living room and its coziness, the kitchen and its persistent smell of homecooked food? do they like it? what do they think? in the end, it’s just like when a important person visits you. you can’t do anything but hope it is cosy for them.

[kafkasgirlhood-deactivated20250]

it motivates me to clean my room , actually ! “wait no i can't pray yet , my bed isn't made what will apollo think :(”

[countlesssorrows]

YESSS sometimes i actually clean in apollo’s honour, but i’m…lazy 😴😴 i actually remember when i lit his candle while i needed to concentrate on some work i had and his flame got so fucking high bc i kept distracting myself and he was like “😐 focus” LMAOOOO

[gods-and-accolades]

I love having a casual relationship with my deities because even though it doesn’t look like it on the surface, each word I speak is full of utter devotion.

Like yes I talk to you like you are my best friend. Yes I worship you wholly and completely.
