Make a physical calendar inspired by your deity. Use colours associated with them or images depicting them. Add stickers and little doodles. Write in "appointments with your gods. Prayer days and holidays. Add offerings that you need to remember. Colour-code the days associated with your deity. Add notes about your day. Where did you notice your deity? If you have a big calendar, try adding a photo of your daily offering or altar changes; later on, you will have a nice log to look back on.

The commodity of witchcraft will convince you you need fancy expensive tools in order to do magic, but it’s not true! especially if you’re a folk witch!!

capitalism is the enemy of witchcraft. you do not need to practice overconsumerism to to well in your practice. defeat the capitalist thinking in your brain.

I hate generative AI. There was no need to give it to the public. People forgot to be human. And now they ask chatbots how to be normal again. AI in science is meant to help us live, survive. But now I wake up knowing that in a few years, I may not have water to drink. People already go to sleep with poisoned water in their bodies.

That makes me think of my ancestors. They would go to a village well to fill their pot, boil it, and have water. It wasn't "free". It required labour and time. But they didn't need endless plastic to have it. No companies were telling them that water is not a human right. I wonder if they felt like I do now. When the first person had no other choice but to buy bottled water, what were they thinking?

Did they know that in years there will be no clear water left to buy?

You can't find a portrayal of a futuristic world without mention of water pollution. Or just outright NO WATER LEFT FOR PEOPLE THAT CANNOT PAY MILLIONS FOR IT.

Do people who poison the land and water never see it? Did they never read a book? Did they never think beyond a few years? Did they never look beyond their bank statement?

Maybe they should ask ChatGPT what will happen with all their AI products if they kill all the "potential customers".

Drink water today, thank Poseidon. Cook something warm, thank Hestia. Spend time with your loved ones, thank Hera. Sign a petition against AI centres, thank Zeus. Draw something ugly, thank Apollo.

Go outside and cry about all the beauty we will lose because a few rich people decided you and I are not worth living.

Be mad at AI, thank Ares. Hunt for AI in the name of Artemis.

AI has no place in paganism. I cannot imagine worshipping Demeter and destroying everything that represents her. I cannot imagine worshipping Amphitrite and Poseidon and actively poisoning them. I cannot imagine worshipping Hera, Hestia and Zeus and taking people's houses for AI centres.

Spend years learning to draw and write. Learn to be a person again.

anyone else finds their relationship with Lord Hermes as an indulgent older brother who is helping you and guiding you? Like, instead of presenting himself as a God, his connection often feels a lot more like... fond? like he's ruffling my hair and calling me kiddo and indulging me while still guiding me to the right path.

I find myself very loved and safe in his presence, and unconsciously lean into my inner child more internally instead of masking it and being overly 'mature' in his presence. It embarrasses me a bit when I reflect after, but at the same time feels less burdensome and more refreshing.

Praise Lord Hermes.
