witchcraft n stuff

sort of a spam blog for @recoveringpatton? Right now I'm mostly posting about hellenic polytheism (and maybe some other things I'm interested in?)

Besties help what’s a good way to quickly cleanse my crystals.....I usually use water but I don’t recall for sure which ones are safe in water, and idk if I have time to figure it out-

Trying to figure out what to offer to Hera- I was praying to Hermes and I said that I wasn’t sure who to pray to about this particular thing, and I just heard “Hera” in my head. A little startled, but I want to pray to her, I just want to have an offering so it’s respectful. Trying to think of something quickly as it’s urgent

Idk if anyone even reads this blog but if so tw for a vent that’s negative about religion

I’m kind of tired of religion. I’m kind of giving up. Because no matter who I ask for help, they don’t do anything. They leave me to die, and I thought they were supposed to care.

When I found this religion, I thought it was different. I felt loved at first, I felt cared for.

But I don’t feel it anymore- Is it my fault? And no one helps me, no one protects me, no one’s done anything to get me out of this goddamn hellhole of a life and maybe I’m asking too much but I thought that gods were supposed to help maybe just a little bit.

This shit is what made me give up the first time.......That god never helped me, either. Not when asked and fucking begged.

A lot of people who go down this path end up not believing in gods...I still believe. And the thought that they just choose not to help hurts more than the thought that they might not exist at all.

“Blessed Be” Alternatives

Some people are uncomfortable when you bless them. Here are alternatives you can use so you don’t insult or offend people who don’t want your blessings:

“Good health to you”

“Happiness to you and yours”

“Fair winds”

“Farewell”

“Sweet water and light laughter till we next meet”

“May your journey be swift”

“Well met”

“Until our paths cross again”

“Good fortune to you”

“Pleasant travels”

“May your forge burn bright”

“Until then”

“To your health”

“Guidance and clarity find you”

Feel free to add some you use or enjoy.

Ooh! Tell me, do any of y'all use an alternative to “blessed be”? If so, care to share with me what you use?!

In honor of Hephaestus, I want to start saying “May your forge burn bright”

[icantsaycaduceus]

I think my fear of abandonment carries over into religion......gods/goddesses keep reaching out to me, and I want to be an active worshipper and communicate with them, but I find myself feeling like it’s not worth it, like this is just a temporary thing and it won’t last more than a few months, they’ll just sop caring or something...so I kind of give up easily. It really sucks, I don’t know how to get past it :/

since we all know there’s a terf problem in witchblr i want to point out to yall the browser extension shinigami eyes, it will highlight in red the names of terfs/transphobes or those associated with them. (if you’re not sure, a good step is to go thru a few pages of someone’s blog and see how many of the blogs they’ve reblogged from are highlighted.)

remember folks, don’t engage, just block and move on

[vehementlyvagabond]

if i look at your page and your reblogs are red all the way down you’re outta here

Religion with trauma is weird, it’s like, “I can’t even trust a human to treat me right, how can I trust a being more powerful than I can comprehend”

hello! i just wanted to know if you had answered any asks about knowing if you're working with a real deity or a spirit pretending to be one? not sure what the tag was so i couldn't find it. thx!

Oh thank you so much for wanting to search my blog! I don’t think I ever really talked about this topic and if I did it was likely awhile ago meaning it’s lost in the abyss that is the shitty Tumblr search function. 

Sooo I’ll answer it now!

The first thing is to have protections in place like wards and shields esp if you’re nervous about spirits. 

Secondly, never EVER ignore any discomfort, uneasiness, or general feelings of negativity you may experience when interacting with a deity. Trust your instincts! 

Thirdly, know that while gods are complex beings and not necessarily 100% benevolent, they aren’t evil. They’re not going to be unspeakably cruel for no reason or try to put you in harm’s way. 

And lastly, for gods you already have a relationship with so you know how they are around you, be mindful of any changes in behavior. Again trust your instincts when they tell you something doesn’t seem right or is off in some way!

Hope that helps!
