Do you have any advice on how to communicate with a deity after you have provided a reading? If you never have before? I’ve read to ask thru tarot but I wouldn’t even know how to start...

Hi there!! I have a couple of tips on how you can talk to your Deity, even if you’re unsure of what deity you are actually trying to communicate. (Also sorry for the super late response, I’m still making my way through my Asks, I promise. )

 1. Start an Altar 

 The first tip I have is to start an altar. It doesn’t have to be huge or perfect. It should be personal and feel right for you. You can even make a mini Altar, if you don’t have a designated place for it. This helps show your deity you are listening to them and honoring them. It’s like your own personal place to remind yourself of what higher power is looking out for you and where you can feel closer to your deity. I can make a post on some Altar essentials that are needed for different Gods/Goddesses if you would like! When you know which deity is most attached to you, I highly suggest doing this. It makes you feel as though you have a higher understanding and an easier time communicating with them. They often communicate with you through your own intuition so trust in your gut feeling!

*Not my picture or Altar!*

2. Tarot

 I actually made a small 4 card spread that helps me communicate more casually with my deities. My deities are Hecate, Persephone, and Artemis and using this spread I made has actually really helped me. I kind of learned there is no WRONG way to reach out, and I definitely encourage you to make your own spread to try and talk to your Deity. First things First, what matters most is your intent. If you focus your energy into shuffling your deck, into focusing on your questions, and placing the cards where they need to go and less on “am I doing this right?” Then that is really, genuinely all that matters. Your intent and wanting to speak to them and understand what they have to offer. This can be used, even if you have no idea what Deity your speaking to. It’s more about the message and what they want you to know. Don’t worry about if what you’re doing is right. I promise, if it feels right to you, then you’re perfect. 

Also! If you ever need help interpreting your what cards you pull from your spread, feel free to message me! I would love to help. 

 3. Divination

 Tarot isn’t the only way you can communicate with them, but it is the easiest. When you’ve started to get the hang of your intuition and trusting in what you feel, try Scrying! Scrying is exceptionally helpful, but also waaaaay harder and mentally draining at times. But through Scrying, Tea Leaf Reading, or whatever your preferred method of divination is, ask your question either aloud or silently and focus on it during the reading as a way to guide you and focus your intent. 

 4. Meditation 

This is is the easiest and simplest form of communication. Silently asking for their blessing or what they wish for you to know during meditation and trusting in your intuition to tell you what they are saying back to you. It’s listening to yourself and meditating on what you are thinking through this time that will really help you. Basically having an open and honest conversation with them and trying to open up your mind to any symbols or signs in your daily life that may answer your questions or point you in the right direction. 

I hope this helps you in some way! Feel free to message me with any deity questions you may have or any divination questions.

Apollo’s Crystals

Hey guys! A while ago I asked people what crystals they thought Apollo seemed to like, and I got some good ideas from that. Since then, though, I’ve had some of my own experiences, and I’ve come up with a list of crystals he seems to really like, which includes:

Sunstone

Orange calcite

Honey calcite

Yellow calcite

Tangerine quartz

Rutilated quartz

Golden healer quartz

Citrine

Golden tiger’s eye

Chrysocolla

Of course, these all come from my own personal experiences with him, and not everyone will connect with any of these crystals the same way I have. But I thought I would share, in case anyone else has been looking for a list. I always have citrine, rutilated quartz, and golden tiger’s eye on his altar, and I think it makes him really happy!

Blessed be 💛

I just really love Apollo

Witch Tip 🌻

Use dried sunflowers as offering bowls!

You can pull out the seeds on the sides to create sigils or runes, if you want! Dried sunflowers as offering bowls are great for honoring Apollo or even the Fae!

These dried mammoth sunflowers are pretty tough as well. They can hold crystals, herbs, and even milk! You could even morph it into an incense burner… honestly, the possiblities are endless. 🖤

Spell Loopholes

Wording a spell correctly is extremely important! We’ve all heard the stories of someone who cast a spell and technically had it come true, but in a way that wasn’t what they actually wanted at all! Here’s a list of common “loopholes” spells will take to get the job done, and how to make sure you get what you want!

🕯Taking its time- “I want money,” you tell the Universe, hoping to get some help with rent. Well, rent comes and there’s no extra cash in sight! Then, two weeks later, a surprise wad of cash all but lands in your lap. The spell came true, but not in time for when it mattered. This is easily fixed by adding “…by the end of the month,” or specifying what the money is for, which in this case was this month’s rent.

🕯No help needed- “I want money,” you say again. Magic will often take the path of least resistance, so if you’ve already got a paycheck on the way, the spell might not do much besides make sure it doesn’t get lost. There. Money. It can be good to specify that you want your spell to work in addition to everything you’re already doing!

🕯 Bare minimum- This time from your money spell, it arrives on time from an unexpected source! But it’s a quarter you found on the ground. Maybe three quarters. Not much help! If your intent would require the money to be close to a certain amount or any other specific like that, let it be known! The universe isn’t there to make assumptions.

🕯 For the worst- Let’s say you have two friends that have been flirting, so you cast a nice little spell to let any mutual interest between them blossom into a relationship and save them some trouble. It happens, but it turns out they do NOT work well with each other. They are interested in each other, but argue constantly and bring out the worst in each other. The relationship is hurting them both. You had the absolute best of intentions, but there was no way of knowing that would happen! This is why a lot of witches include the phrase, “for the highest good” in their spells, as a failsafe for any unexpected pitfalls like this that may be lurking. The universe will see them but doesn’t know to care unless you specify.

🕯Another layer- Once I made a dream bear to bring me more dreams. Well, I had lots more dreams, but couldn’t remember any of them! I didn’t think that was something I needed to specify. Make sure you hit every point you need to be satisfied with a result.

As a general rule, if my spell includes a prayer or petition of any sort, I take a few minutes and comb through it for stuff like this beforehand. What am I specifying? What am I leaving up to interpretation? Could any of that manifest in a way I would be unhappy with? Take a little time before you start casting to smooth out all those wrinkles! Best of wishes!
