TopShop Devotee Necklaces!

So yesterday I was shopping around in London and I made a quick stop into TopShop. I was looking at their accessories and to my surprise, I saw some necklaces with Greek Goddesses on them!

Its with the brand “Freedom” but they had I think five different Greek Goddesses in little devotee like charms. I saw Hestia, Aphrodite, Athena and two others (I’m forgetting now 🙈) but I just thought it was cool!

They were £8 a necklace. I already have a necklace dedicated to Artemis but I might pick another up. I thought I would share with others who wanted to pick up something for their goddess!

Introducing Yourself to Aphrodite

Don’t be afraid! Aphrodite is often described as intimidating and frightening by many, but in reality she is pretty much open to anyone willing to offer her their love. If that’s the true intent of your heart, you won’t easily offend her!

Get to know about her!

I think it’s important to do your own research on Aphrodite if you are interested in starting a relationship with her.

When you are interested in someone (like when you have a crush!), you want to know everything about them, right? You probably spend hours looking at their social media profiles, posts, pictures! You want to know what they enjoy and what they don’t.

In a similar way, I really advise you to ~stalk~ Aphrodite a lil bit. What’s her personality, likes and dislikes, her favorite color, animal, flower? What kind of gift would she appreciate? Is there anything she would consider inappropriate?

Show Aphrodite that you are curious about her as the divine being she is, not only curious about her powers and what she has to offer you.

Get her to know about you!

Now it’s time to properly introduce yourself.

I strongly suggest you to be more formal towards Aphrodite in the beginning of your relationship. Even if you are sure you two will later become best friends and partners in crime, approach her with respect and politeness!

Tune in

Meditate for a bit and tune in with Aphrodite’s energy. Think about all the things you have been learning about her on these past few days. Visualize an aura of love surrounding you and embrace it. When you feel ready…

Use one of her epithets

Aphrodite has many gracious titles. Choose the one you like the most and call her by it! My personal favorite is Ourania, which means heavenly, divine. So for example, I would start by saying:

“Ourania, goddess of love, beauty, pleasure and procreation. My name is _______ and I truly wish to speak with you.”.

Offer her a gift

It could be anything you feel like she would enjoy! Here are some simple gift ideas:

♡ An apple or a pomegranate;

♡ A red rose or a lettuce leaf;

♡ A cockle shell or other cute item you have found at the beach;

♡ A candle in one of her colors: blue, green, white, pink or red;

♡ A golden object: an earring, a mirror or even a cute lil coin;

♡ A feather of a white dove, goose or swan. Please, make sure no animal has been harmed in the process of collecting the feather!

“Ourania, I brought you this gift and I really hope you like it!”.

Introduce yourself

When you are sure your gift has been accepted, start talking a bit about yourself. What’s YOUR personality, likes and dislikes, YOUR favorite color, animal, flower? Chat with her for a lil while, like you would to a new friend!

Compliment her

Tell Aphrodite how do you feel about her. Talk of that story you read in which she does this most amazing thing! Tell her how beautiful she was depicted on this certain painting, sculpture or poem. Make her feel appreciated and loved by you!

TTYL

I think it’s nice for you to finish your first contact with the intent of having a second one. And a third one. And so on! I would tell her:

“Ourania, I value your time so much and I feel like I should go by now. I truly appreciate your attention and I am glad we could talk! I hope we can do this again in the future, as I wish us to be great friends. Thank you!”.

DIFFERENT WAYS THE GODS MAY CONTACT YOU

a while ago someone asked me about how they can know the Gods are contacting them if they’re beginner polyethists so i’ve finally made this post to answer all you baby pagans questions

You frequently see their names pop up: when i was on holiday in London with school, everyday i saw different gods names in random places after i’d felt really distant to them

You feel like you know them or are close to them for no reason: i’ve always felt close to apollo and hermes without having any specific reason to and i think that’s them trying to reach out to me

You have a connection to their sacred things : i’ve always loved the sea and have grown up with it. whilst i don’t vibe with poseidon it’s still sacred to aphrodite

They come through in divination and dreams: they might try to contact you via your dreams or talk to you in your divination practises

You have a gut feeling or can feel them around you: you may just be able to feel them around you or have a gut feeling they’re near you - most the time you won’t be making it up

please add anything i’ve missed in the comments below and i’d love to hear your experiences too!!

Wearable Spell Jars

Deity Jars

The idea of spell jars is no new concept, and this may be an idea done before, but I wanted to spread it out there for the new witchlings who would like to find another way to be with their deities!

Now why the loop in these jars? This is so you can wear the jar as a necklace, attach as a keychain, or hang up somewhere! These small jars are easy to hide for witches that are still in secret, and portable! I recommend wearing them when asking for a deity’s help, as well as when you are performing actions you want to dedicate to the deity! For example, when I am gardening, I would wear or keep close my Gaea jar to dedicate it to her. This can also be applied to spirit companions!

What you need

Miniature jar with metal loop in the cork (you can put in the metal loop yourself if need be)

Objects associated with the deity

Candle (optional)- color depends on the deity; if no candle, use hot glue to seal the jar

Incense/scented spray associated with the deity (optional)

Chain/cord/thick string to thread the loop

How to make the jars

While working on the jar, light a candle in honor of the deity you are making the jar for. If you can’t, that’s ok- incense or a spray works or you can even ignore this step. Pray to your deity to let them know what you are doing. These miniature jars can be found in craft stores, with the loop already in, in the jewelry-making section. If you have trouble finding them, you can stick a thicker wire in the cork of a miniature jar and use jewelry pliers to create the loop yourself! If you do so, I do recommend bending the other end to secure the wire in. Put the anything you associate your deity with into the jar. You can put little charms, miniature objects, herbs, gem chips, and so forth! I will list a few examples/recipes of my own. What’s important is that these are items that made you think of them- found or bought doesn’t matter. When you have finished putting in the objects, put on the cork and seal the jar with the candle wax from the candle you lit. If you were unable to light a candle, some hot glue will work just fine. Let the wax/glue cool. If you lit a candle, let it burn down with the jar placed near it. Thread the jar with some thick string, chain, or leather cord. There you go, all done!

Here are a few of my own recipes:

Aphrodite Jar

1 seashell

2 apple seeds

1 rose quartz bead/chip

2 myrrh pieces

2 small jasmine flowers

A pinch of lavender

Sealed with pink candle wax

Hestia Jar

Pinch of ash (mine came from a campfire I dedicated to her)

Pinch of lavender

Magic purple basil

2 dragon’s blood resin pieces

1 jasmine blossom

2 amethyst beads

1 garnet bead

Sealed with purple candle wax

Gaea Jar

1 rose quartz bead

1 green fluorite bead

1 sandalwood bead

2 pieces myrrh resin

Lavender pinch and sprig

Magic purple basil leaves

Pinch of dirt from my garden

Sealed with green candle wax

Note: Many ways to substitute. Any crystals or stones will do. I decided to represent nature in different forms: leaves, resin, wood, flower. You can also include a root of some sort. Gaea is nature all around us, so representing her in a bottle can be very diverse.

[thebravestmouse]

The gods come when you need them, you don’t have to call but if you do they’re there. Religion used to make me so uncomfortable and now it’s such a large source of comfort and healthy behavior. I asked to be found and I was. And I continue to be found.

✨ Types of Soulmates ✨

Hi everyone! When doing love readings for people, I tend to always mention the word ‘soulmate’ which is why I thought I’d actually make a post about the topic. The term can be a bit confusing due to the various connotations that it’s accumulated over time. Most people imagine that meeting their soulmate will unfold like a fairytale and instantly lead to happily ever after! But this isn’t always the case! You’ll meet several different soulmates in your lifetime, all of them serving different purposes. Soooo let’s get into this shit! (starting in no particular order!)

1. Platonic Soulmate: The platonic soulmate will manifest as your best friend and partner in crime! There’s a sense of effortlessness when you two meet. There’s no hesitation and you feel a sense of ease when you’re around. Your platonic soulmate is the person you know was destined to be your Maid of Honor or Best Man haha. The platonic soulmate is usually the simplest out of all the connections as they exist in your path to make life more enjoyable. Some people may mistake a platonic soulmate for a romantic/companion soulmate but they’ll usually both realize that they’re better off as friends. Someone who is asexual or aromantic will likely stay with their platonic soulmate as they don’t feel the need to connect with anyone else. This can be extremely fulfilling! 

2. Soul Family: Ahhhh soul families are a total fucking blessing! Members of a soul family all come from the same branch of consciousness and have similar life paths. Soul families can be literally anyone who has the same interests, beliefs, mindset, and energetic vibration as you! The key aspect of a soul family is that our souls were created in the same dimension/planet and we always incarnate together. Our soul family has travelled the same paths and have had to learn the same lessons. All members of a soul family are working towards the same mission. I say they’re a blessing because I find it extremely comforting to know that you have other people who feel and think in the same way that you do! Your actual family may be a part of your soul family but not always. There are definitely members of your soul family who you may not actually ever meet. Some soul groups have 2,000 people while others have 20. It simply depends on your mission! 

3. Past Life Soulmate: Our past life soulmate(s) are usually romantic and they’re someone who is returning from a past life. When you feel as though you instantly recognize someone, this is a clear sign that they’re a past life connection. Your past life soulmate can reincarnate with you every life time or only occasionally. Either way, this person is usually in your life to remind you of something you’ve forgotten about your own soul. They subconsciously bring back information from a past life in order to deepen your spirituality. This could be a long term or short term relationship! Past life soulmates are a part of your soul family!

4. Karmic Soulmates: Ohhh the lovely karmics… Karmic Soulmates are like fucked up past life soulmates. They’re from your past life but they show up in this life because there’s an unlearned lesson or unsettled business between you two. This karmic imbalance desperately needs to be resolved before you can progress. To be fair, karmics don’t always have to be horrible! They serve a very important purpose though. I’d even go as far as to say that they’re the most necessary. They present challenges and conflicts in order to make you stronger. Your first heartbreaks are usually a result of karmic relationships. They’re kind of like stepping stones to your twin flame or romantic soulmate! Karmics are almost always temporary and can be friends, family, or lovers.

5. Healing Soulmate: Healing soulmates usually emerge after a karmic relationship ends. Or after a defeating period in your life. They can come in the form of a friend, a parent, a teacher, a lover, or even a stranger. They offer you comfort and help set you back on your path. Healing soulmates are usually temporary as they mostly exist in our lives for a specific issues. Some healing soulmates may stick around and assist you with future conflict as well, though! 

6. New Soul: This one is pretty straight forward! Not everyone you meet will be from a past life. A new soul is someone we’ve never had contact with. They usually show upwhen we’ve completed all karmic trials or, for whatever reason, have rejected the romantic soulmate/twin flame partner. This person will spark intrigue, curiosity, and fascination in you. We’ll crave a connection with this person but things usually happen slower with a new soul because of the unfamiliarity. Most karmic relationships start off as a new soul that wasn’t originally in our Soul Contract. Which can be vv exciting! 

7. Romantic/Companion Soulmate:  Your romantic soulmate is often described as ‘The One’! They’re your perfect match in this lifetime and the person that your higher self decided to unite with. Of course, you can always stray from your soul contract but most people don’t! The romantic soulmate will offer you so much joy, happiness, and emotional depth. They’re the person you’re likely to marry and will help to move you along your path with an open heart. When we unite with a companion soulmate, we experience unconditional love and bliss. Every relationship will still have it’s problems but you’ll be able to work through these things in harmony. The romantic soulmate can be a new soul or past life connection!

8. The Twin Flame: Not everyone has a twin flame in this lifetime or a twin flame at all! But your twin flame is the perfect REFLECTION of you. You two are parts of the same consciousness. It’s still possible to be whole without your twin flame but, when you two come together, it creates something incredibly powerful. I made an entire post on twin flames so feel free to search for it on my page! 

💖💖💖💖💖💖

Keep in mind that you might have multiple types of each soulmate in your life & that’s okay! Alternatively, you might not have one of these relationships. Most people will experience 7/8, but nothing is guaranteed. I’d love to hear about your ow experiences with the 8 types of soulmates! Thank you so much for reading! ✨✨

Greek Gods as Things I’ve Overheard in My School

I got a request for Greek Gods as things I’ve overheard, and since school is- quite possibly the best place for these things, I figured why not!

Zeus: “Bold of you to assume that I can’t be more of an asshole.” Poseidon: “People never drink water in class. Drink water throughout class. Drink water instead of class. Don’t go to class.” Hades: “My math grade is almost lower than my will to live.” Hestia: “Sometimes I just want to sit in that fire pit and roast marshmallows as I let the ashes reclaim me.” Demeter: “They said we need more plants around. Replace me with a plant.” Hera: “I need feminism because clearly my future husband is going to be a dumbass and I want to prove I’m better.” Athena: “I like the smell of old books.” *proceeds to stuff face into textbook* Hermes: “I can steal your heart, yes- but can I steal myself a personality?” Apollo: “Music class these days is just idiots trying to find happiness.” Artemis: “I just want to be gay with an instinct to kill.” Hephaestus: “I want to build myself a girlfriend.” Aphrodite: “Maybe one day people will appreciate my inner beauty and not my numerous pimples.” Dionysus: “Time to get DRUNK!” *chugs water bottle* Persephone: “I love flower crowns. They make me want to-” *cracks knuckles* “Kick ass.”

Ravens of antimony: A basic understanding

The ravens of antimony is an alphabet of desire, and a magickal constructed language that I’ve created for use in magick, and witchcraft practices. In this post I will focus on the basics of the ravens of antimony as an alphabet, and how they can be used in your practice to enhance your working.

There are 36 different sigils that are part of this alphabet which are referred to as ravens. Each raven has a specific aspect that they are connected to, and these aspects are known as akna, or akna ona as a plural. The akna is the essence of the raven, and is what the raven will be able to manifest. The raven can also manifest the exact opposite aspect of the akna that they represent.

List of the ravens, and there akna:

U | PASSION

Æ | DEVOTION

TA | PREJUDICE

HA | ANGER

🛡 Warding 🛡

Disclaimer: This is all based on my research, path, opinion & experiences! Intro: I really was holding out on doing this post because it’s such a big, important topic to cover and I really don’t want to mess it up or get anything wrong. This post needs to be done though, people have asked if I have such a post and an anon suggested it. So finally, here it is.  - What Is Warding? Warding is a type of magick, it is the act of creating an energetic barrier around you, your home, an object, ect. They can be temporary or permanent, although typically they are cast with the long term in mind. They can banish or turn away whatever you choose. Warding is an excellent skill to have because it can keep you, and even others safe and with practice you can do it anytime with just about whatever you have on hand.  When Should I Ward? Whenever you want an energetic barrier around you, most people consistently ward their home, themselves or their place of practice. Some people even ward their space every time they prepare for a spell. It should be done consistently in any area you want protected, but exactly where and how often is entirely up to the practitioner.  What Should I Do Before? Cleanse, a ward is a barrier of energy and in the same way that it keeps things out it also keeps things in. You don’t want to trap anything inside of it. Cleanse yourself before you ward yourself. Cleanse your space before you ward your space!  Tips Before You Ward- Phrasing Keep the phrasing in mind! You don’t want to keep anything out that you want in, or let something in that you want out. If you’re chanting or using sigils ect keep in mind exactly what you want to keep out both in your methods and in your mind. Covering everything Make sure to cover everything, a ward is useless if there’s a weakness in it or if the ceiling & floor aren’t probably covered. Be super thorough!  Layering Your Wards One small little wimpy barrier? Ha, the spirits say as they scramble into your home to wreak havoc! You need to layer your wards, don’t just use one method one time, there’s no such thing as too much warding.  What Are Some Ways That I Can Ward? Now we’ll get right down to the methods you can use to ward yourself and your space! Remember that warding is important and needs to be effective, don’t try anything that you don’t have experience with for warding. At first, focus on the stuff you know. If you like sigils, use sigils at first and slowly work your way into using other more complex methods or methods that solely rely on your abilities. Circle Casting You cast a circle by summoning the four elements to protect & energize what is in the circle.  - Here’s my post about circles & how to cast them  Chanting/Speaking Come up with a protective chant you can use to ward your space. This chant could be someone else’s or your own as long as you feel it’s effective. Speak it aloud and visualize a layer of energy protecting your space.  Incense Burn a protective incense in the space you’d like to ward and visualize a barrier protecting your space. Athame Draw out the line of your ward with your athame, visualize the wall appearing, covering everything with a thick layer of energy.  Spraying Spray a mix of blessed/magickal waters and or herbs with protective properties in the space you want to ward.  Sigils Create a sigil using your favorite method with the intent to “ward” or “protect/protection.” Then charge and activate it as a layer of protection! Here’s my post on sigils if you’re interested in that: - Sigil Post Jar Spells You could mix up a jar spell for warding, set it in your house and forget it as a layer of warding.  - My protective jar spell post Anointment Anoint the doorways of your space, you could also anoint the ceiling, floor, walls, corners, honestly go for it.  Salt Sprinkle salt all around the edge of your home or space. Make sure to sprinkle salt on the INSIDE of your harm as salt can harm plants & wildlife if used outside. If you’d like to make a barrier on the outside of your home, you can use dried & crushed eggshells in place of salt. - Post on how to make eggshell powder here -  Hag stones Hag stones are stones with holes in them that have been corroded into the stone because of rushing water. It is believed rushing water is protective & cleansing so if you wear a stone that sat in it long enough to have parts corroded away, that the stone will maintain and keep those properties with it. It’s a great way to personally ward yourself, and an excuse to go out in nature.  They look like this! 

Energy Manipulation If you’ve got a knack for manipulating energy, you can create a barrier through work and visualization that surrounds yourself or your space. This isn’t recommended for beginners though! Links: - Horse Warding Charm By @anothersusurrus - House Warding Spritz Mixture By @seleneblackwell Both of these are great if you’re looking for specific spells, types of magick, correspondences, sigils, ect! - Protection Magic Masterpost Part 1 By @auricwitch - Protection Magic Masterpost Part 2 By @auricwitch Personal Wards Also remember not just to ward your space but yourself, if you layer your home with wards, what happens when you leave? Exactly. Keep yourself safe too! Circle casting & hag stones are great methods I mentioned above that are good for personal warding.  Can I Ward Specific Things And Not Others? Absolutely! I mentioned this in the phrasing section of this post, keep in mind exactly what you want to keep out when you’re warding. I like words like “negative” or “harmful” or “with ill intent” because they don’t necessarily keep out the Fae or positive/neutral spirits but it does keep out anything that wants to harm you in general. Just think about it ahead of time, find wording or a phrase you like and keep that in mind as you ward.  What If I Live With People? If you’re out of the broom closet, explain to your family/roommates what you’re doing and why you’re doing it and make sure they’re cool with it and are aware of what’s going on. If you’re not out of the broom closet, you may have to resort to only warding yourself/your room, & that’s okay!  I hope this helps someone or teaches them something new! Enjoy! Have a lovely day 💖
