Patchwork Pagan

[33 y/o, minors DNI] This is just a place for my spiritual needs. As the name suggests, I'm an Eclectic Witch. I connect to things from many different belief systems. So, basically whatever I'm drawn to, whether temporarily or permanently, you'll see here.

Does anyone else miss their practice as soon as life gets busier and the time shrinks to actually work some magic?

Whenever I am busy, I crave ritual to find peace.

There's something so calming about writing in your grimoire, especially after not doing it for so long. It always feels nice to reconnect to your practice.

E-offering for Bast

[rosiefurs]

❝ Goddess of the hunt, the moon, and chastity. She was the daughter of Leto and Zeus, and the twin of Apollo. She possesses perfect aim with a bow, the ability to change herself and others into animals, and control disease and healing. Artemis believed she had been chosen by the Fates to be a midwife, particularly as she had assisted her mother in the delivery of her twin brother Apollo. All of her companions remained virgins, and Artemis closely guarded her own chastity. Artemis was invoked by women in labour and She is the protector of youth, especially of young girls.

Artemis — greek mythology aesthetic.
