Easy Ways to Connect More Strongly with your Deities

Say Good Morning when you wake up, say Good Night before you fall asleep

Share your food with them. If you’ve ever wanted some of your friend’s french fries, you know how they probably feel. 

Donate to causes that fall under the jurisdiction of your deity. Are they a goddess for women? Donate to a women’s shelter or Planned Parenthood. Is your deity a patron of the arts? Give to PBS or local theatres.

Cook a full meal in honor of your deity. Seriously. It sounds silly but you can definitely find a regional cookbook based on your pantheon to cook a full ass feast for them.

Write them letters or notes. Keep a little notebook of notes and letters to your deity. Did you see a cute cat that you think Frigga would’ve liked? Maybe you saw a girl’s outfit that would’ve made Aphrodite drool. Let them know, or give yourself a reminder to tell them about it later.

Change your phone background. Does your deity have a temple or built pantheon? Put that shit as your wallpaper! Did you find a picture that so perfectly captures the spirit of your deity? Make it your lock screen.

Make them a Mix Tape. You know, so you can belt out songs in their honor while making your way downtown. Faces pass. And you’re home bound. 

DIY your Altar. I’m not going to lie, I’m not to altar type. However, it is a fantastically personalized space that you can do anything with. So don’t let anyone stop you from knitting that mini statue of Hecate a scarf.

[grabs your shirt] listen. listen to me. the practical is holy. the everyday is sacred. the simple act of surviving is divine. do you get it? sanctity begins at home, in the hands that build and the lives we live and the deaths we die and the worms that eat our bodies. if making something by hand is not worthy of veneration then nothing is.

Start preparing for the life of your dreams. It starts with clearing out. Clear out everything associated with the old you. Clothes, hairstyles, makeup, home decor. Now start creating the new vision. It doesn’t matter if you want to live in a mansion but right now you live in the ghetto. Start reading rags to riches stories, make your ghetto home as dreamy as possible, and make sure when you wake up in the morning the first thing you see is your vision board.

How to win in 2021.

Your circle. Literally cull all the annoying friends, people that drain you, family members who are toxic. Become unavailable to them. This is so important because toxic energy has the power to bring you down and distract you from your main focus. More on that…

Your focus. Get crystal clear on your goals for 2021. Write dates, break your goals down into actions, affirm, pray on them, and give thanks for the blessings you’re about to receive.

Quit being the victim, see the wider perspective. There’ll always be something you need to work on within yourself, whether it’s jealousy, insecurities, laziness. Whatever it is. Learn how to unlearn your shit from the past, those traits need not enter this new year.

Keep your vibe high. You see how good you feel when you’re shaking your ass in the mirror to that song that hits you deep. That energy there. Tap into it everyday. Do whatever necessary that makes you feel on fire.

Be of service. Do you know how many people out there could be blessed with your gifts, feeding the homeless, writing regularly, sharing beautiful music, art, words, talents. The world needs you. So don’t forget to give back.

[coping-skill-toolkit]

During my first month with my therapist, I was given this worksheet to read and work on. She noticed that while I was talking with her, that my thoughts followed a lot of these. I wasn’t aware that my anxiety had brought me down paths of low self-worth and stinky thinking.  After a couple of weeks of talking with her, she gave me this worksheet to work on. 

While, at first, I thought these weren’t going to work out, I was very surprised to see just how easy they were to use . My homework at that time was to identify which sort of thinking I used on the regular and which ones would best challenge them for me. So, what do you think? Do any of the maladaptive thinking patterns sound like you? which ways would you like to untwist your thinking? 

[reibish]

HEY guess who needs this? I do! And chances are some mutuals may like to see it as well.

What is Magick?

What is Magick?

It is a practice.

It is a practice of magic. It is the art of harmonizing with the energies of the universe. It is an understanding of the Earth and everything beyond, no matter how much or how little we use. It’s a practice that has been relied upon for thousands of years; people focused their knowledge and understanding of local fauna, folklore, and beliefs to produce medicines and spells that would benefit themselves and those who were willing to ask for them. To this day, Witchcraft has seen many changes, adapting to the modern age and paving the way for new and more accessible ways to practice. Although we may have different intentions and desires, the heart and soul of Witchcraft remains the same within all of us.

It does not follow a straight path.

There is not one single way to practice; you may want to continue the traditions of Witchcraft within your culture, or you may go down a different route altogether; perhaps there is a family grown practice you wish to honor, or you just feel drawn to something that brings out something undiscovered within you; no matter what you choose, they are all valid. Witches can create whatever they wish from what is available to them; they are resourceful and considerate, and so the variety of Witches becomes infinite.

It is explored and practiced by many cultures.

Many cultures around the world have their own unique way of practicing Witchcraft; steeped in history and folklore, it’s what shapes the various types of practice that have been built and protected for thousands of years. An example of this diversity is the practice of Hoodoo; originating in Africa, it has no strict form of practice.

It is a gender-neutral term.

Although Witchcraft has been seen and stereotyped over the years as a female-oriented practice, it has never truly been that way. It is open to all genders and its term "Witch" is used by all; it is an identity that gives us all power and strength, and it helps us find each other, no matter where we sit on the gender spectrum.

The K in Magick

The reason for the “K” is simply for aesthetic reasons. It was added to the end to differentiate it from that of commercial magic. The “K” is completely optional.

Magick vs. Mundane

Magick is definitely not a cure-all, and even though there are herbal remedies available to help aid the relief of certain ailments, it is always best to seek professional help for both physical and mental illnesses. See magick as a way of complimenting mundane medicines; use magic to help make things easier but do not substitute it completely. It is also important to understand that herbal remedies should be handled carefully, and are best done by an experienced herbalist. Always make sure you know exactly what you’re using and how you’re using it.

[the-clever-cupboard]

Witchcraft Safety

While Witchcraft may not be a dangerous practice, it can open up a lot of risks and hazards which must be taken into account into order to practice effectively. Simple mistakes can lead to terrible consequences, with some that can in fact be fatal and so it is important to know what to do when handling certain tools or equipment.

Knives, sharp tools;

If your Athame or blade is being used as a prop, then it is best to use a replica. This could be a carved or sculpted representation.

If you are using the blade for practical purpose, be sure to store it in a sheath if it has one, or keep it stored somewhere safe such as the kitchen or in designated storage where you know it is safe and out of reach.

Avoid leaving any sharp tools on altars or exposed where they could be a danger to you or others.

Candles and flames;

Do not leave any candle or lit objects unattended.

Keep flames separated from each other with as much distance between as possible.

Do not keep flames close to the edge of tables or near anything flammable including altar cloths, clothing or curtains.

Keep candles and anything you are burning in a heat proof dish where appropriate.

Put out everything properly when finished with.

Potions and similar;

Potions should be labelled with ingredients as well as whether they are ingestible or not. For example, crystal water may become toxic to ingest, so be sure to research and label.

Alcohol and other substances should be handled with care and minors should avoid using any substances that are alcoholic.

Do not ingest unless you are 100% sure of the contents.

Crystal Balls and similar;

It is best to avoid keeping crystal balls near sources of sunlight and other strong light. The reason for this is as light passes through, it causes the ball to concentrate a small ray which can cause house fires. Keeping crystal balls covered with cloth is the best way to avoid this if your altar or working space is close to sunlight.

Alternatively keep your crystal ball in a drawer or box where possible.

Plants, flowers, fungus;

It is highly recommended that you only use what you are familiar with; plants you have grown or bought yourself.

If you plan to forage for any of your ingredients, again only go for what you are familiar with, and be sure to do thorough research into how to forage properly and respectfully.

It is worth having someone with experience in foraging to accompany you; so, you could go on an organized trip with a group.

Researching plants should be done using official and trusted identification guides, local to your area.

If you come across a local plant or fungus that has a poisonous lookalike, for example, field mushrooms have a species very closely resembling them known as the Death Cap, it is best to avoid taking any, unless you have confirmation from an expert to do so.

Do not practice any herbal medicines unless you have done relevant training first. Always have the supervision of an experienced herbalist when doing any type of herbal medicine.

Essential Oils;

They can pose a serious risk to pets, children, and can affect pregnancies, it is best to avoid if possible.

Make sure you are aware of exactly what you are using.

Oils are best to be avoided if you are someone who has any respiratory issue.

When using oils, be sure to dilute them accordingly with carrier oils and be sure to do thorough research beforehand.

Do not ingest oils.

Crystals;

Be sure to know exactly what you have, and find out whether it is water soluble, toxic in certain scenarios, etc.

In the case of water solubility, Witches use crystals to enchant water and make potions, in some cases they may ingest. It is best to avoid doing this, and rather have the crystal in a separate chamber from the water if you plan to do the same.

If you own crystals that are potentially toxic when ingested or touched by hands that are then touching food or going near the mouth, it is recommended you wash your hands thoroughly after making contact.

Mental and physical Health;

Be sure to consider how you feel when you choose to cast any spell; if you are lacking energy to carry it out either mentally or physically then it is best to hold off, or at the very least consider adjusting your approach.

When you are not 100% ready to carry out a spell, you may be likely to misjudge your process; You want to be able to protect yourself and balance your energies well so you do not end up drained, nauseous or suffering from headaches, etc. handling tools and ingredients will carry a higher risk of causing injury.

Rest as much as possible.

If you are someone who struggles daily, consider adapting your practice to be more comfortable for you.

Who Are You in the Tarot?: Discover Your Birth and Year Cards and Uncover Your Destiny by Mary Greer – this is a fantastic book that gives deep insights on your personality, life and journey based on your “birth card”.

Tarosophy : Tarot to Engage Life, Not Escape it by Marcus Katz – Hip and modern, full of useful information and exercises – plus it has stuff for all levels (beginner, intermediate and advanced).  It’s a very intellectual book – this is no “tarot for dummies”.
