How to connect with your deities/gods!!!
My apologies for delaying this for so long 😅 but as promised, here are some ways to connect with your deities or gods <3
Say goodmorning/goodnight to them! - a quick and easy way to show your appreciation for them is to say goodmorning and goodnight! You can spice it up a bit if you'd like, such as "good morning Apollo, thank you for staying with me and may today bring positive vibes" or "goodnight Dionysus, thank you for visiting me and protecting me"
Sharing your food with them - okay, I know it sounds a bit silly at first but hear me out. You can bless your food or eat food in honour of a certain god to show your appreciation!
Meditation or journalling - meditating can be a great way of being aware of the world around us and our true selves, and journalling can help you keep track of everything you plan to do or have done! Making a devotional journal to your deity can also be a really cool way to connect!
Research their signs - alot of people, especially those new to paganism, can often have difficulty spotting signs or feeling connected to their deities. Researching their signs can be a great way to help you figure out who is contacting you and can help strengthen your bond!
Have a positive view of them - it can be really easy to fall down having a toxic view of your deities, which can lead us to things like "these clothes don't match what Aphrodite would want me to wear so I won't buy them" and "I really want to hang out with my friends but Zeus said to spend more time working with him." While it is true that gods can ask for you to spend more time with them, they will never ask to replace time with your friends, family, or situations you'd enjoy! Your relationship should feel right for both of you, and if your deity is telling you negative things or asking you to perform dangerous actions please double check whether this is in fact your deity or something else!
Give yourself time - hard to believe but strong connections with your gods don't just happen overnight! It can take all the way from weeks to years to receive a sign from your deity and so you must give yourself patience. Don't beat yourself up if Bastet hasn't contacted you recently, or if you haven't heard from Freyja in a while. Things like this take time and patience and feeling a weak connection between you two is completely normal! Give yourself time, and let yourself grow <3
Donate to causes your deity is patron over - is your deity the god of children? Maybe donate to a children's charity! Your deity the god of theatre or art? Supporting local artists and theatre organisations would be a great idea! Your deity the god of cats or dogs? Try donating to a shelter! All of these would be lovely ideas to connect more strongly with your deities but please please please make sure you're saving some money for your necessities and if you can't donate that's perfectly fine!
Make them a playlist - one of the most common things I see people doing for their deities is putting together a playlist for them! Songs that remind you of them, songs they like, songs that fit your deities vibe, anything goes!
Altars!!! - altars can be a great place for prayers, offerings, or objects devoted to your deity! Altars are entirely personal so don't let anyone ever tell you what to not put on your altar, or how big or small it needs to be
Incorporate them into your hobbies! - Whether it's cooking, painting, bracelet making or music, incorporating your deities into your hobbies is an awesome way to show your appreciation for them!
That's all I've got for now, but if I can think of anything else that needs adding or you want to reblog this with more suggestions you're absolutely welcome! Thank you so much for reading this and have an awesome day my lovelies 💖💖💖
