☀︎ About Me ☀︎

Hello! I'm Pix, and this is a sideblog for sharing my experiences with paganism, particularly my experiences with deity work/worship. I'm 18 and a trans man.

I offer paid tarot readings through my ko-fi! Check it out or dm me for more info ^_^

My main is @pixxlotl, we're very fandomy over there so if you find yourself on this blog and also happen to like hermitcraft/minecraft cubitos, feel free to req some art over there ^_^ this blog isn't for fandom, but I'd love to meet people with similar interests, so feel free to dm!

♩About My Practice♩

I'm not new to the belief system I work under (vaguely hellenic polytheism) but I only recently started practicing and incorporating it into my life in any significant way. I worship Apollo and Hermes currently, and I'm not sure where my practice falls on the spectrum of "worship vs work" but it's somewhere in the middle, and I feel more comfortable calling it worship.

𖤓 BYI 𖤓

I don't have a DNI, but keep in mind before interacting:

I'm loosely anti-endo (see why here)

I'm 18, I don't really care whatever age interacts but have at least an age range somewhere on your blog so I'm aware

Hellenic Polytheist version of Christmas where Dionysus' birth is celebrated through singing and dancing by firelight. People drink wine, dance in various animal masks crowned with ivy, and shake their thyrsos to the god. To keep warm, they light a bonfire and throw in symbolic items representing their worries/problems, showing them letting the problems go. After three days (representing the three times Dionysus lives) of different forms of celebration pass, everybody spends an evening resting and telling stories about the year - good and bad.

Dionysus rides in a flying chariot with eight leopards, all crowned with ivy (and sometimes a ninth leopard with glowing eyes at the front, depending on what you believe). He gives wine and delicious food to those who were good throughout the year but leaves strangely ominous objects to those who were bad (one half of a pair of scissors, rotten grapes, a disembodied lion head, etc.).

If only my ideas could be brought into reality; it would be so fun. 😮‍💨😔

He gives you specially made fruit juice instead. 💜

quick reminder that it is not, in any way, inferior to adapt to your psychology.

helpol is based on kharis, which is about the genuine exchange of what you have to give. so let's say person a expends 10% of their daily energy on a 30-minute ritual, and person b expends 10% of their daily energy on a 30-second silent prayer. the actual cost and effort are mathematically the same

the Gods are ancient; they understand. do not compare yourself to an "ideal worshipper" because the ideal worshipper for the relationship you built will only ever be yourself

[willgrahamscock]

this was a form of protesting and look at what can be achieved in numbers within 24 hours, never forget how important community is

[willgrahamscock]

Yes it does work that's why everyone with power acts like it doesn't

Intro to Sigil Magic: Symbols of Intention

Sigil magic is a form of symbolic witchcraft where you create a unique symbol to represent a desire, then charge it with energy and release it. It’s discreet, powerful, and can be used by beginners or advanced witches alike.

1. What’s a Sigil?

A sigil is a visual symbol created to hold magical intent. It’s like a spiritual shorthand—a symbol that represents your goal on a subconscious level.

2. How to Create a Sigil:

• Step 1: Write your intention clearly.

Example: “I attract calm and clarity.”

• Step 2: Remove all repeating letters.

Result: IATRCLMNDY

• Step 3: Rearrange and stylize the letters into a unique symbol.

Blend the letters into a design that feels magical and personal.

• Step 4: Charge your sigil.

Focus energy into it using:

– Meditation

– Candle flame

– Breath

– Dance or movement

• Step 5: Release it.

Burn it, bury it, draw it somewhere hidden. Let go of the desire and trust the magic to work.

Where to Use Sigils:

• On mirrors, water bottles, or phone backgrounds

• Sewn into clothes or written on skin

• In spell jars, candles, or ritual tools

Sigils are quiet spells—but they speak volumes.

Our youth and family nonprofit theatre is doing the musical Annie with a cast and crew of about 100, mostly children. Yesterday we had a two-show day with limited time for kids to rest and eat in between.

A parent offered to set up catering to be delivered for anyone who didn’t want to or couldn’t leave the site, and asked that anybody who was interested contribute a small amount to the cost. A few parents started asking if they could pay for other families who might not be able to contribute, and put in extra.

The whole cast was fed. There was food left over. Very few families left to get food or brought food from home because there was an abundance. Kids got seconds. Kids got seconds of dessert.

It’s been said a million times, but people balk at the idea of socialism and taxation and “paying for freeloaders” because we’re devoid of community and isolated. Nobody feared “paying for freeloaders” because those freeloaders aren’t faceless, they’re kids who go on playdates with your own children, or families who offered your child a ride when your car broke down. If we could think about other people as members of our community instead of faceless, we would be more generous and sharing almost instantly.

Please be more selfish with your craft guys you're allowed to!

A friendly word of witchy advice: just go with it.

You’re trying to contact a deity and you immediately have a random thought? just go with it. It doesn’t make sense? Whatever, write it down. Maybe it will make sense later.

Wondering if you should and get the feeling that you should? do it.

Suddenly think you shouldn’t? don’t.

Doing tarot and the card comes out sideways? It’s sideways. Interpret.

When I go for a walk and take a seat on a bench and think, gods I wish I had some shade, and the clouds conveniently come together to block out the sun, I just go with it.

Thank you :)

Maybe it was, maybe it wasn’t. Truth will reveal itself with time.

People ask me all the time, how do you know Lucifer is speaking to you? I trust him, even when it doesn’t immediately make sense, even when it seems random.

Your first thought, yes, write it down. Your random inclination, follow it.

This doesn’t mean that everything is a sign, it means stop prohibiting yourself from receiving signs by constantly hyper analyzing everything. Let your brain and body perceive without fighting against them.

You heard a whisper in the wind? Listen.

You think you saw something in the smoke? Draw it.

Confusing nonsense that probably means nothing? Document it anyways.

Just go with it.

I feel like Nelly has taken a break from her Negativity and passed the mantle onto me lately so let this be a positive post

Hermes is genuinely great? Haven't talked to the guy since...maybe November for personal reasons, but despite it all, He's here for me when I'm at rock bottom. I've noticed it's always been Him, Kronos, and Erebos that are there for me at rock bottom. Something something I used to refer to them all as my Fathers before Things Happened, something something Kronos asked me recently why I stopped calling Him that, something something I'm on the rocky road to feeling secure in things again, something something they will be waiting for me on the other side and every step of the way regardless.

Something something, the gods care.
