"Aphrodite loves terfs" do you really think a goddess of love formed from a literal penis and the mother of Hermaphroditus, an intersex god who was associated with androgyny and feminine men, fucks around with transphobia?

she is a literal trans icon and to deny that will get you smited by all the gods

as a reminder, since a TERF tried to follow me, you aren't allowed here 😄👍

my blog is a safe place for all of my LGBTQIA+ brothers, sisters, and siblings.

i do NOT tolerate homophobia, transphobia, ableism, sexism, racism, anti-semitism, xenophobia, etc. and if i see it on your blog when you like my posts, reblog, or try to follow me - you WILL be blocked.

tarot card reading except i just make "ooo" "ah" and "wow" sounds the whole time instead of telling you what the cards mean

What is it with modern witches (like myself) always forgetting it’s a holiday until it’s the day because we’re so busy having to do ‘normal’ stuff like my university classes for example, like so help me the gods I wanted to do something special for Mabon today and now I’m just resorting to having a pumpkin-spice iced latte for the spices in there with a sigil traced with my straw

reminder that as with all witchcraft path terms, “baby witch” is a label. you don’t have to use it if it feels infantilizing or patronizing! you can simply call yourself a beginner or a researcher.

and on the other hand, if you like the term, use it! it feels cozy and fun to you? by all means, call yourself one. it’s your choice, it’s your practice, it’s your life. <3

[i-never-shut-up-ever]

boys will literally shame you for liking astrology bc it’s dumb and made up and doesn’t mean anything

then they’ll try and talk to you about like bitcoin or NFTs or the economy or something. LMAO

Cemetery Etiquette

As someone who has been in more cemeteries than I can count just about since the day I was born and has transitioned into death work, I have a list of rules/etiquette that I personally use in cemeteries- and I've finally gotten around to typing it up!

These are just some of the rules I follow, and they aren't in any particular order of importance. I might even add more in the future, but for now, here's a few!

1) Respect everything around you- even the stuff that doesn't seem important

2) NEVER lean/stand on headstones, no matter how stable they look- they aren't half as steady as they look and it's a good way to get hurt

3) DO NOT take any money, trinkets, flowers, stones/rocks, or anything else you might find on/around headstones or grave sites- you can't know what's important to the residents of the cemetery, or what holds cultural significance for those that are buried there

4) Respect the cultural practices of the cemetery you're in!

5) Listen to your intuition- if one area of the cemetery feels better/worse than another spot, listen to yourself! Either stay in that area (if it feels like a good place to be) or stay away from that area (if it feels like a bad place to be)

6) Clean up after yourself/others! Trash/debris aren't nice to look at, and they aren't nice to live around, so clean up what you can

7) If you meet any child spirits, play with them! As a death witch who mostly works with child spirits, they want to play more than you know- even something so simple as rolling a ball around or telling a cheesy dad joke goes way further than you'd ever expect

8) Honestly, play/laugh/tell jokes/have fun within the walls of the cemetery! Spirits are lonely more often than not- acting like a normal, regular, human person (while still being respectful) makes them feel better than you could imagine

9) Don't speak ill of the dead, regardless of if they're buried in that cemetery.

10) When you enter, greet the cemetery as a whole and say hi to the spirits within. Similarly, when you exit, say goodbye to the cemetery and the spirits- especially the ones you've talked to

11) Put your phone on silent and don't use it if you don't have to!

The gods and goddesses aren't racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, queerphobic, bigoted, xenophobic, or discriminatory in any way.

Don't fucking use them to promote your fucking hate.

That's it... that's the whole thing. We just love him.

Reason number one of why I worship Aphrodite as an aroace person: Aphrodite is the goddess of love and passion. Self-love is a form of love. Platonic love is a form of love. Sibling love is a form of love. Familial love period is a form of love. As for passion- My little autistic brain is passionate about so many things. Passion and love doesn’t just be sexual or romantic. And Lady Aphrodite has allowed me to love myself better than any other person could do. She has shown me more love than anyone. She is basically my mother from the amount of familial love I get from her. Reason number two of why I worship Aphrodite as an aroace person: I’m sexy.

[experiencinglifeagain]

Aphrodite is as multifaceted as love itself.

Dismissing her as petty and vain ignores all of her complexity, as well as ignores the fact her myths were told by men who did not view women with agency or as equals.

Because Christianity is the most common religion, a lot of beginner practitioners think the gods are wrathful. They really really are not.

The gods are patient and gentle and kind. You’re going to make mistakes and mess up when practicing Hellenic Polytheism. I know I did many times. You don’t need to fear their wrath, they aren’t here to scare you into respect.
