“The Old Gods walk among us. They tread silently, on catfeet and cloven hooves, leaving only the faintest whispers of carnal power in their wake.

Bow down as they pass, lest their whisper become a shout, and you are deafened by your own mortality. Receive their blessing, like moss beneath your feet, like lifeblood running down.

Rise, Child of the Old Gods, rise and follow. Rise, for the Old Gods walk among us again.”

What is my current relationship with nature?

What things are barring me from a closer bond?

How can I better my relationship with the wilderness?

In what areas do I need control?

What kind of rhythm do I march to?

What heights must I climb to reach my goals?

What obstacles stand in my way?

How can I learn to stand my ground?

Advice from the deck.

Pan represented freedom of spirit, natural instincts, sinless love. It is in witchcraft that Pan - the symbol of Nature - still lives.

THE WATERS AT PAN’S GROTTO Located in Caesarea Philippi (Also known as Banias, Banyas, Baniyas, Paneas, Panias, Paneias, Paneion, Panium), a town located near the northern boundary of the land of Israel, The grotto of Pan was a focal point in the worship of this half-man half-goat, flute playing deity.

For at least two centuries before Christ, sacrifices were cast into the cave as offerings to Pan. At that time, the main spring emerged from this large cave. Earthquakes have since caused the water to flow elsewhere.

LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT MONTEREY BAY SPICE CO.

You need herbs in bulk and you don’t have a lot of money? This place has your back.

Here is the first order I received, ¼ pound bag each of sage, bay leaf, rosemary, basil, sea salt, and cinnamon sticks. How much did all this together run me? $22.

That’s WITH shipping. I am so ecstatic about this place and I figured that everyone needed to know about it. You can find their website HERE. They also sell teas, essential oils, glassware, spice blends, and all sorts of supplies. I love this place and it is now a valuable resource in my life

I saw someone asking where to buy herbs online??? I can’t remember who but maybe they’ll see this!!

Easy Ways to Connect More Strongly with your Deities

Say Good Morning when you wake up, say Good Night before you fall asleep

Share your food with them. If you’ve ever wanted some of your friend’s french fries, you know how they probably feel.

Donate to causes that fall under the jurisdiction of your deity. Are they a goddess for women? Donate to a women’s shelter or Planned Parenthood. Is your deity a patron of the arts? Give to PBS or local theatres.

Cook a full meal in honor of your deity. Seriously. It sounds silly but you can definitely find a regional cookbook based on your pantheon to cook a full ass feast for them.

Write them letters or notes. Keep a little notebook of notes and letters to your deity. Did you see a cute cat that you think Frigga would’ve liked? Maybe you saw a girl’s outfit that would’ve made Aphrodite drool. Let them know, or give yourself a reminder to tell them about it later.

Change your phone background. Does your deity have a temple or built pantheon? Put that shit as your wallpaper! Did you find a picture that so perfectly captures the spirit of your deity? Make it your lock screen.

Make them a Mix Tape. You know, so you can belt out songs in their honor while making your way downtown. Faces pass. And you’re home bound.

DIY your Altar. I’m not going to lie, I’m not to altar type. However, it is a fantastically personalized space that you can do anything with. So don’t let anyone stop you from knitting that mini statue of Hecate a scarf.

Satyr 2 by deadjellyfish

eu·cha·rist

eat your gods.

EAT YOUR GODS. TEAR INTO THEM DEVOUR THEM LET ECSTATIC TEARS RUN DOWN YOUR FACE AND MIX WITH THE JUICE OF THEM.

get drunk on godflesh, stumble with divinity, whoop and shriek as they hit your bloodstream, roll in the dirt, suck their remnants off your gritty fingers, float, tumble, howl, chase, ascend, obliviate, transcend, transform.

wake disoriented, sick and aching with the loss of them. wipe your face, coax out your tangles, inspect your skinned knees and palms. leave your shoes where you threw them as an offering.

cultivate the hunger that only theophagy can sate.

consume them and be changed.

FYI the name Dennis is derived from Dionysus. That is all.

Denny’s is absolutely the domain of a god of chaos and revelry
