[raghhmurica]

So I worship Dionysus. If there are any helpols(or pagans worshipping deities in general) that also struggle with $h, kdk if it works for others but ai put my bl4des on His altar for Him and slowly stopped using them bc I felt bad for grabbing them off the alrar !!! He basically guilt tripped me into stopping using them (love Him for that 😭😭) so if that helps anyone pls use that to ur advantage!!

P.S, He did ask in advance for the container that had my bl4d3s in it to be on His altar.

Okay, no more trying.

Go shift.

Fuck this reality.

You don't have school tomorrow, you don't have work tomorrow. You're going to your DR.

And that's it.

GO SHIFT

I'm tired as fuck and feeling very motivated, dunno if this makes sense

Nazis will never be welcome in paganism. They have no space in our communities, we will have a zero tolerance policy when it comes to nazis. You have no right to the cultures, gods and religions you hijack to spread your disgusting ideologies. You will find no refuge or comraderie amongst pagans.

Reblog to let nazis know they’re not welcome here.

theres no such thing as a “real” altar

all altars are real if you believe them to be

only got a candle, a singular rose petal, a rock you found outside, and a piece of paper of your deity you printed out at 3 am?

that’s perfect!

i’m sure whatever deity you may be working with is plenty pleased with any altar you may have

don’t let other peoples altars fool you, most have been in progress for months to years at a time, and it took a lot of work to get them where they are now

you’re doing a good job, dreamer, keep it up! :)

[raghhmurica]

This!!! As a newer pagan that worships Aphrodite, Apollon, and Dionysos, My altars started out as few things. My very first time using an altar, I had like a little bandanna as an altar cloth and some candles from the dollar store. Plus a few things I found that I thought were pretty. And some makeup. Even that isn't what you have to have! All you need is the intention for it to be an altar for whatever spirit or deity or whatever you're working with and maybe(if you can get them) like a picture or something that represents the deity/spirit/whatever. I literally first used my mirror, before I found out she wanted my cat statue.

Now, though, my 3 altars are cluttered and full of stuff. It took a few months for me to get all that only because I let them choose some of their altar decorations, and I have a lot of stuff in my room.

Backing up what she said, you don't need a lot to make an altar. The spirit or deity you are working with appreciates it anyway. They understand, they're kind enough to.

[raghhmurica]

Also if it helps to those who think I've progressed way too fast, I have an altar for Athena in a box(couldn't find another place for it) and all I have is a book, a little owl statue, and a little onyx necklace that I got from my Nanny(grandma). I made the altar as an offering for helping me with getting fhe good teachers.

uhhh quick question, for ppl who are smart who would I pray to(Aphrodite, Apollon, Dionysos) to get all the nice teachers? Specifically for the pagans bcs yas but like.. just, whow oudl I pray to exactly??

[rose-by-the-sea]

Aphrodite sounds like a good candidate, but you can also hit Athena up? Both would be good options! Much love

[raghhmurica]

Yeah, I was thinking maybe I could pray to Athena and ask her if she could help me but idk what to offer her(or if she'd even help at that but IM GONNA TRY)

GUS CALLING ALL PAGANS AND PEOPLE WHO JUST GENUINLEY KNOW HOW TO DO THIS!!

How do you pray? Like, it sounds stupid but I've never learned how to pray and I'm trying to learn how to, but I just don't know??

[theic-manic-deactivated20250519]

Neopagan Polytheist here

It depends on my relationship with the deities, mostly my Worshipper vs Devotee approaches.

Worshipper: I am a tad more formal and nice, a bit like when I am addressing the janitor at work

Devotee: With the gods that I'm a devotee of I'm about as casual and occasionally blunt as I am with the executives at my workplace.

And each God I'm devoted to has a different way I talk to them too based on our dynamic and their domains.

Each deity in general has a preference from my experience, example Melinoe likes it when I use my pendulum board and my experience is that Cthonic deities like a more sombre vibe.

Ares likes prayer during physical activities like walking.

Apollo likes candles and music however he'll listen to me regardless.

I recommend researching the history of the deities you're reaching out to, particularly how they've been worshipped historically to get an idea of which prayer approaches might be most effective.

If you're not a reconstructionist, I find starting with "Hello" works 😉

[rose-by-the-sea]

I'm a fairly new Hellenist and thus haven't done much praying with deities other than Aphrodite, but I know Aphrodite appreciates it when I play soft classical music and light candles when I pray to her. I have tried before to pray casually, but I usually end up becoming super formal and poetic whenever I do, so I suppose that's what she prefers.

[raghhmurica]

No bcs whats crazy was that I was literally thinking about how I would pray to Aphrodite. Literally just about to go and ask her how she'd like me to pray to her and then THIS is said?!?

open starter: angst?

A quest was a death sentence for any half-blood. A suicide mission.

You were in your cabin, reading, doing handstands, strumming a guitar or whatever when there was a knock on your door.

You got up and opened it to find Ariadne at your doorstep.

Her hair was messed up, her eyes bloodshot, hands shaking, and her eyes wide and regretful.

You knew what that meant. “There was a prophecy.” Ariadne whispered.

[the-cool-chaos-kid]

[Ody looks at her and frowns. This wasn't good.] About..? [He looks almost doubtful. No, not doubtful, scared. He'd never met her before, but he had heard of her being the Oracle, and he had assumed that she only ever came to the people the prophecy was about.]

[ariathemortal]

Ariadne looked liked she was about to break into tears again.

Despite not knowing him, it was the same to as if it was a friend. She was sending them off to die. “A child of Chaos.” She said her voice cracked.

[the-cool-chaos-kid]

[Ody looked at her, and his eyes widened.] A child of Chaos... [He repeated.]

[Fuck. Just- oh no. He hoped it was him, that he was the one in the prophecy. He didn't want his siblings to die. He would never forgive himself.]

[ariathemortal]

”I-I don’t know who yet. But…..I’m so sorry…” Ariadne whispered, tearing up again.

[the-cool-chaos-kid]

Woah, woah hey. Hey no. It's alright. [Ody looked somewhat afraid. He walked over to her and opened his arms, giving her the option to hug if she wanted.]

[Ody was... a little scared.] I'll do it. [He said, knowing it wasn't really his choice.] Don't tell the others, don't tell anyone that is a child of chaos. Just.. what else? What is it about? What was the prophecy at least somewhat saying? [He didn't mean to seem like he was pressing, but he was afraid. Scared. Not for himself, no, he didn't mind dying for the greater good.]

[But for his siblings. He didn't want her to tell Aspen, or anyone else. They'd rather die than let anyone else know.]

[ariathemortal]

Ariadne simply didn’t say anything. She looked like she was about to burst into tears. She practically tackled Ody into a hug. “I-It’s not your choice……that’s not how it works.”

[the-cool-chaos-kid]

I don't care. [He spoke in a more aggressive tone than he meant to. He quickly realized and sighed, puttinv his arms aroynd Ariadne.] Sorry, sorry but... I don't care. I will be the one to go on that quest. I don't care if I had to talk to Apollon himself. I just... tell me the summarization of the prophecy. The-the best way to say it.

[ariathemortal]

Ariadne hesitantly started speaking.

“The child of chaos shall trek across

a land haunting most people’s thoughts

they shall succeed

as olympus continues to bleed

as they continue to prevail

all over will this be seen as a fail.”

[the-cool-chaos-kid]

[Ody was quiet, the silence after she had said that was almost deafening for the past few minutes.] Most I'm getting is a child of chaos needs to go to either the Underworld or Tartarus and... Olympus is.. being hurt? And it's not even going to be seen as something that matters?

[Ody pauses, before he spoke in a cautious tone again.] When's the next like, important campfire? Or Counsel meeting? Any sort of meeting or... event we have anytime soon? [Ody asks, his voice almost rushed, his words coming out basically all at once and slurred together.]

*It has to be me. Can't be anyone else.*

[ariathemortal]

Ariadne wiped her tears with the back of her hand. “I think they’ll have all the chaos kids at the big house soon.”

[the-cool-chaos-kid]

Hopefully. [Ody said as he held her, before eletting go and holding her shoulders, like he was about to shake her.] Hey. It's alright. We'll gr tit sorted out, it's just a quest. [He said it as if he didn't know the weight of the quest. The weight of the prophecy.]

[But oh he knew. He was fairly certain that he understood the weight of it, that that prophecy was one of the next big wars, if anything. But it was too soon after the other ones.]

We're gonna be okay. Just pray to Apollo, pray to the gods, make sure they keep us safe. Apollo is an averter of evil, he's helpful for young people like us. We won't let anything take us down. And I won't let anyone else hurt our oracle, much less an oracle that cared enough to come to me and talk about it.

[ariathemortal]

Ariadne laughed as she wiped her tears. She knew the weight of the prophecy too. With great power comes great responsibility.

She’ll try everything she can do to keep the Chaos kids safe. She’ll even try to Iris message Apollo himself.

These are good kids, after all. She can tell.

“Hey, when you come back from this quest, we should hang out. I think I wanna get to know you more.” She smiled.

[raghhmurica]

Yeah? [He smiled. Yay, a new friend! He was always on the lookout for new people. She seemed cool.] Bet. But, right now I think lunch is going on. Let's go, I'm sure we can beg the gods to help us that way. [He said jokingly, letting go of her as he grabbed a little necklace, a heart necklace that seemed like an enchanted gift from a game or something.]

Y'know, I've been getting into witchcraft a little more than usual, and like... this sounds weird but do you.. are you able to talk to Apollo like.. through yourself? Liek channel him or something? I'm sorry i don't mean to sound rude I'm just.. I'm curious. Can you channel Apollo or any god for that matter so they cna talk through you?

[the-purvashadha]

When you step into sunlight, you honor Apollo. When you admire the moon, you honor Artemis. When you admire cloud shapes, you honor Hera. When you smell petrichor, you honor Zeus. When you laugh at a joke, you honor Hermes. When your body twitches to dance at a particularly upbeat music, you honor Dinoysus. When you enjoy the first bite of your breakfast, you honor Demeter. When you choose your peace over any conflict, you honor Athena. When you warm yourself up by sheltering yourself in blanket, you honor Hestia. When you listen to Ocean sounds, you honor Poseidon. When you smell flowers, you honor Persephone. When you admire the coolness of first day of Autumn, you honor Hades. When you wear your favourite jewellery, you honor Hephaestus. When you smile, you honor Aphrodite. When you exercise, you honor Ares. When you light a torch in a dark room, you honor Hekate.

Your body is a shrine to Gods, your being an act of devotion for them. You, by yourself, are enough for them.

Prayers to the Gods for the Palestinian people.

Keep sharing, keeping protesting, keep b0ycotting, but your prayers also have power, not just for yourself, but for others too. The Gods weep as we do at this injustice. They are just as angry as we are. The Gods will always care about injustice. Remember Xenia.

don't you just feel so moved after the littlest interaction with Dionysus
