One thing about me is that I am a big proponent of CHARACTER. Of the moral variety. I am a big believer in taking the traits you have and making the best you can out of them and practicing the good traits you don't naturally have to get better at doing them anyway

if you ever doubt your writing, be it your themes, or the reason behind it, remember that h.g wells wrote war of the worlds both as a commentary on colonialism and the horrors it brings, and because he fucking hated his neighbours and his 13 hour job, and wanted to write about the town in which he lived getting blasted to the fucking ground by lasers into an irreparable heap and all of the townspeople dying painfully 

you, too, can channel your hatred for that guy that lives down the hall and blasts music at 4am into the one of the most influential science fiction stories ever written! fuck it! i believe in you!!

Been looking for this

[mexicaheart]

Xochiquetzal, Our Lady Love, represents the feminine forces of the cosmos. She is attraction, joy and sex, as well as song, dance, and art.

Her name means Plumed Flower or Precious Blossom, for She is the Lady of delights; yet, She is also a painful divinity, a Teotl of uncertainty and heartbreak. While She is lovely and beautiful, She is also fearful, terrible and cruel.

The coral serpent that accompanies Her in this painting is a symbol of lust, vice and temptation, which can lead us to our doom or which can be the origin of reproduction and love.

You can find Xochiquetzal as a print in my Etey store! Click here!

Small Witchy Challenges to Reconnect to Your Practice

Sometimes it can be hard to really feel connected to the actual magickal side of being a witch. Personally I’m involved with my deities or other spiritual/personal things 110% of the time but I don’t always feel connected to my actual witchcraft. So here are a few small magickal challenges I thought up to help anyone in a similar situation.

✨ – Set aside a time once a week to burn a candle. Make it a color that connects to whatever aspect of your life you would like insight or growth in and spend 10 minutes watching the flame and opening yourself to whatever it is you’re seeking.

✨ – If you have any books with pre written simple spells in them (most intro to witchcraft books have a section) flip through it and find a spell that calls to you and do it! As written, just to practice getting out of your head and going through the motions of spell work.

✨ – Send out blessings. To your crush. A new friend. Your best friend. Your mom. Whoever.

✨ – Call up your energy into your palms and then place them on your own heart to send yourself love and healing and to connect yourself to your energy.

✨ – Spend some time picturing the kind of witch you wish you were, your ideal witchsona if you will. Then tell yourself that’s exactly who you already are. Keep reminding yourself whenever you feel disconnected from your craft that you are already an unbelievable witch.

✨ – Go back through your old book of shadows/grimoire and reflect on what’s worked for you in the past.

✨ – Wake up and tell yourself first thing “I am a witch. I am magick. My life is full of magick. I see and feel all the magick around me. I am a witch.”

✨ – Pick out outfits or accessories that make you feel witchy. (Bonus points for intentionally planning a super witchy outfit on the full moon)

✨ – Do a spell for anything that’s coming up in your life that you want to work out a certain way, no matter how trivial it seems. Test this week? Do a spell. About to start a work out routine? Do a spell. First date? Spell. Gotta stay on budget grocery shopping? Spell. Your worth it, it’s good practice, and if it all ends up working even better!

✨ – Write down spell ideas as they come to you. Save them as notes in your phone and then come back and flesh them out in your BOS later.

✨ – Come up with your own challenges! If you’d like to share, tag me on your post or send them to me, I’d love to hear your ideas!

If you could have a physical building/temple dedicated to Hellenic Polytheism, what would you want to see in it? What kind/amount of religious leaders would you want to see?

My dream is to have not just a temple but a community center in dedication to the gods. A place that would offer all different kinds of assistance, aid, and guidance. It would be cool to have different ones that are dedicated to specific gods and offer help based on the associations of that specific god. For example, Aphrodite’s would offer help and education in regards to sexual health. Hera’s would be a safe haven for domestic abuse survivors. Demeter’s would help feed the hungry and be a resource for single moms. Apollo’s would offer free/affordable healthcare and a safe place for young boys. Hermes’s would help the unemployed especially those who have just gotten out of prison. Hephaestus’s would be a safe haven for the disabled and a place to learn new skills. And so on and so forth. 

As for religious leaders, I would def want people to be able to offer spiritual guidance. Teach classes. hold workshops, do one on one sessions, etc. But if this was me running the whole thing I would absolutely be vetting everyone who holds those positions bc I know how any kind of authority position pulls in ego-driven people, not to mention the taste of even a little bit of power can quickly corrupt a person. So i would def be making sure that doesn’t happen!

But yeah I personally really love the idea of a community center as opposed to just a temple. To me, the gods would appreciate that more. Honoring them by helping one another.
