This was a blog for my traumas, particularly Christian trauma, I may still speak about those things here, but it is now also space for witchcraft, paganism, and Hellenism.

I am agnostic and part of the Unitarian Universalist church.

interesting Lady Aphrodite facts!

- she is also the goddess of ports, and port towns!

- many ancient artworks of her, depicted her with traditionally male features, like beards, along with traditionally female features. she has long been associated with gender ambiguity and sexual fluidity.

- she was revered during times of politics.

- seashells are not only offered to Lady Aphrodite due to her associations with the ocean, but also due to seashells’ likeness to the biological female genitals.

- a statue of Lady Aphrodite was the first ever fully sized, fully naked, female form stone sculpture to be created. this image is a recreation of said statue, made from marble, during the roman era.

- traditionally, Lady Aphrodite was depicted wearing clothes. it wasn’t really until the roman era that this changed, and most artworks began depicting her naked.

- julius ceasar was very fond of the roman version of Aphrodite (Venus), and a lot of roman artworks depicted her wearing armour, or armed with weapons.

- opiates were once associated with Lady Aphrodite. Many people offered her Opiates, or did Opiates in her honor. opium-burners were often found at her shrines in ancient times.

- she is also associated with lotus flowers!

Aphrodite~

I was inspired to draw a portrait of pregnant Aphrodite <3 I took a lot of inspiration from historic Greek attire, including the necklace, based on this necklace from 3rd century BCE.

This was such a delight to work on, even when it tested my patience - looking at you, triangle border - and working on this as an offering to Her has just been so fulfilling. I can feel that She loves it, which makes it all the better <3

you were created out of sand from the palm of aphrodites hand. she formed your body, your soul, your life out of bits of the sea & shells. every curve, every hip dip, every dimple, & every freckle she placed upon you for the goal to show beauty in various ways. the back rolls you loathe every time you look in the mirror was once a pebble from the ocean that aphrodite saw beauty in. the mole on your cheek was once a grain of sand aphrodite walked in. you were made with honor honey, you were made with a purpose from blessed lady aphrodite. do not be harsh on yourself. love yourself, treat yourself as a sanctuary. so mote it be

I've been without my earbuds charging case for like a week now, getting progressively more overstimulated and upset.

I have the actual earbuds, I've torn the house apart several times looking for the case, I've looked in the cars, I've looked around at work. I'm losing my mind.

I caved and bought some $5 Dollar Tree headphones. I am annoyed that the solution is this simple, and annoyed that I NEED headphones this badly.

The AC in my apartment is SO LOUD FOR NO REASON, we have a clock I can't stand, fans are on, even the SHOWER is the loudest one I've ever heard. The fridge is loud like most are, but since everything down to the ventilation system is loud as fuck I can't escape and get any peace.

low effort witchy things ᶻ 𝗓 𐰁 .ᐟ

first thing in the morning—take three slow deep breaths (air/sky) more grounding than immediately checking a phone

notice your feet on the ground taking root when you stand up for the first time of the day, take a little stretch (earth/land)

wash or splash your face to get alll the way awake. then chug a big glass. (water/sea)

appreciate any trees, plants, dirt, or clouds you see

place both hands on your heart to feel your own heat and warmth. feel your heart beating. “i am alive” (fire)

wear or carry a rock, hagstone, crystal, talisman, or amulet

in times of stress or dissociation, rub your thumb in small circles on the back of your other hand to ground and soothe. (clockwise for attracting an intention, counterclockwise for banishing)

color magic with clothing

add cinnamon, lavender, or peppermint to coffee according to intention if you don’t want to drink tea

stirring tea/coffee according to intention

sometimes i pick a little affirmation for the day— “may i forgive myself” “the universe is within me/the wild is within me”

visualization—inhale a bright light and let it fill your lungs, exhaling clouds of negativity

or create a shield with breathing. with each breath, imagine a bubble forming around your body, then your aura, growing with strength.

cleansing shower at the end of the day (intending it to cleanse my aura makes me more motivated to take one, idkw)

if taking a bath, add a dash of moon water

sniff lavender essential oil before bed

look at the moon, talk to it. remind yourself that it’s the same one your ancestors knew.
