how to enter and sustain the state

a post by @blushydior + @angelsinluv
this is a joint/collab post between @blushydior and @angelsinluv. this was originally bambi’s post so she’d written most of it but doesn’t want to post it on her blog for personal reasons. so we thought it’d be a good idea for me to post it on mine and put our knowledge together since it’s been the talk lately.
there are many different ways of understanding the law and manifesting your desires whether it be behind a scientific point of view or the principle, states.
there are many different ways of understanding the law and manifesting your desires whether it be behind a scientific point of view or the principle, states.
if you’d like to know how blushydior manifested her dream life with hard circumstances, read this post here.
now, let get into it.
☆ ┊ 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐒
the sooner you understand and get the gist of states, the more seamless your manifesting journey will be. this realization is what brought bambi to manifest her dream life.
states manifest and thoughts don’t and i’ll explain why in this guide but in no way shape or form that i am pushing my beliefs onto you.
even if you don’t agree with that statement or are unable to fully click and resonate with states just yet know that states and thoughts work together to bring awareness to what mindset/story you’re entertaining.
for example, if you wanted to know what state you’re in, you would look at your thoughts. why? because when you change your state, your thoughts naturally change as well so therefore, thoughts and feeling are indicators of what you’re state in.
if your day to day thoughts are:
where are my desires?
why hasn’t the 3D conformed yet?
i didn’t get to saturate my mind today, now i won’t get it
you are coming from a state of lack. a state of not having your desire unaware that your imagination trumps the 3D. always.
i’m not saying it’s a crime to affirm all day. many people enjoy it so it’s not out of lack. it’s up to how you’re doing it.
with manifestation, you’re either in the state of:
being the person who has it
being the person who is trying to get it
in the law of assumption, what creates reality? your mind (consciousness)
so, if you’re affirming, visualizing, doing all these things IN YOUR MIND, to change your reality (3D) then…
BY DEFAULT:
imagination creates reality
the 3D is a reflection of your state of BEING
always look inwards for confirmation because that’s the true reality!
☆┊ 𝐒𝐄𝐋𝐄𝐂𝐓 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐃𝐄𝐒𝐈𝐑𝐄𝐃 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐓𝐄
aka choose what you want to manifest! this would mainly be the state of the wish fulfilled.
state = your mindset / your state of being / state of consciousness. your I AM.
it’s what you identify as. your awareness of being.
choose what you want and embody the version of you / person who already has their desire.
for example, if you wanted $10 million, you choose to be in the state of fulfillment - the person who has $10 million.
that is now your state - the person who has their desire. the state of the wish fulfilled.
☆ WHAT IS THE STATE OF THE WISH-FULFILLED?
the state of the wish fulfilled is the state in which your desire has already been fulfilled - that it is already done because consciousness is the only reality. there is nothing left for you to do because creation is finished!
you do not create anything, you only occupy and live in your desired state to bring it to life. this is why there is power in your awareness (of being). be aware of who you are being in relation to your desire.
☆ MORE ON STATES
infinite states exist within consciousness - this means that anything is possible and not all of them are true/will manifest. only the state that you constantly dwell and identify with, manifests.
this is also why infinite realities exist. your state is your reality.
❝ The world is a mirror, forever reflecting what you are doing, within yourself. ❞
☆ ┊ 𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐒𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐌 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐌 𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐎 𝐅𝐀𝐂𝐓
now that you set the intention of embodying the person who has their desires, thoughts, feelings, and beliefs that align with your state will naturally flow to you.
as you can tell, thoughts and feelings are a product of a state but repeating affirmations, visualizing, doing whatever you want can also help you sustain and being into the state. that’s what techniques are for!
so what would you be thinking and how would you feel if you had your desire?
thinking = imaginal acts that include visualizing, affirming, inner convos, feeling, etc.
thinking is not just affirming because there are people who think in visuals and others who think in forms of words (affirmations). do what feels natural to you. — blushydior
affirm: “i have $10 million dollars in the bank!”
visualize: any scene that implies you have $10 million dollars in the bank
feeling: nonchalant / at peace / etc. knowing you have $10 million in your possession.
that is now your awareness / state of being
feeling ≠ emotion!
feeling = accepting your desire as a fact that it is yours because consciousness is the only reality.
☆ 𝐀𝐁𝐎𝐔𝐓 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐅𝐄𝐄𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐆
remember that the feeling is natural and it won’t be the same every single time. for example, if you’re now just starting to understand and enter the state of the wish fulfilled, it might be exciting, relieving - euphoric even but as you exercise returning back (persistence) to dwell in the state, it’ll start to feel natural. it might start feeling nonchalant, peace, calmness! so if you reach that point and start to worry, “i feel nothing but I know it done. am i doing something wrong?” no you’re not. it’s okay!
you don’t have to act as if. only be as if.
❝ Are you thinking from the state you desire? or is your dream just a passing fancy, a daydream you enjoyed for the moment, and then dropped? ❞
if you say you want money, are you gonna keep WANTING it? NO. to manifest, you ARE the person who has the money.
that’s it. that’s your state! you changed who you are.
YOU ARE THAT PERSON WHO HAS THE MONEY. simple. (that’s because the law is)
☆ 𝐓𝐑𝐘 𝐈𝐓 𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇 𝐌𝐄 𝐍𝐎𝐖
close your eyes, claim you have what you want. by affirming, visualizing, whatever feels good to you.
see it, feel it, know that your mind creates your world. what you see is THE REAL FACT.
isn’t it liberating? BECAUSE IT IS.
you are free to do and have whatever you want! this is why the 3D, circumstances and feelings DO NOT MATTER. why? because YOU, the operant power JUST SAID you have it in your mind so why are you going to let emotions and the 3D effect you?
now, accept these thoughts and your state as facts because that’s what they are. consciousness is the only reality so if you say and know that who you are in imagination is true, the law has no choice but to reflect your awareness of being.
not all thoughts are assumptions and you are not all of your states!
the state and thoughts you identify with manifests.
you are always passing through a number of states throughout your days. a state of sadness, a state of anger, a state of nonchalance, a state of fulfillment.
dwell and identify with the state of your choosing = the person has all their desires!
it’s the same thing with thoughts.
“thoughts are just thoughts. thoughts accepted as true are assumptions. and thoughts/assumptions are products of your state of consciousness. feelings do not mean emotion. feelings = the acceptance that your desire is a fact in imagination.” — blushydior
like i said, thoughts are just thoughts. unless you assign meaning to doubts and affirmations, they hold no power. you do. so which one are facts and which ones are powerless?
your imaginal acts, awareness of being (visualizing / affirming / inner convos / feeling / auditory / etc) = fact
doubts, intrusive, negative thoughts = powerless. don’t even care enough to label them. they’re silly little thoughts.
☆ ┊ 𝐒𝐔𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐈𝐍 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐓𝐄 - 𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐈𝐒𝐓
all you have to do now is persist in that assumption and sustain your state until it hardens into a fact.
A COMMON MISCONCEPTION is that you have to CONSCIOUSLY be in the state all day everyday. NO. all you have to do is return to it/persist whenever you WANT to and WHENEVER you think about it
❝ You don't have to remain in a state if you have made a mistake. You can change states morning, noon, and night, but the state to which you most constantly return constitutes your dwelling place. ❞
SEE! it’s really no different. it’s the same as meditating on affs or rampaging, visualizing, thinking from your desire etc but it’s the fact that you are doing these things to make it natural & bc you enjoy it, not because you “don’t see it in the 3D” and you freak out then over-consume, affirm more, etc.
whenever you think about your desire, remind yourself that you already have it.
if you caught yourself dwelling in a place of lack, for example, asking “where is it?” / “it’s not here yet.” — correct yourself. return to the wish fulfilled and feel it to be a fact in imagination.
and you keep doing that WHENEVER YOU WANT TO until it feels natural. like neville said, it’s like putting on a new suit. at first it won’t feel natural but over some time, you won’t even be “conscious” of it because you already / naturally feel fulfilled! read my quotes thread that relates to this.
this is where methods come in as well. it gets you to dwell in your state whenever and however you want.
methods don’t hold any power. you do.
it’s not a chore. it’s a choice.
easy peasy.
❝ You can tell if you abide in your house of desire by watching your thoughts, for the state in which you most constantly return constitutes your dwelling place. ❞
☆ ┊ 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐆𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐋𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒
you have fulfilled the inner man, accepted it as a fact and got your manifestation.
☆┊ 𝐃𝐄𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐔𝐍𝐅𝐀𝐕𝐎𝐑𝐀𝐁𝐋𝐄
doubts, the 3D (interacting vs. reacting) and emotions
doubts, intrusives, opposing thoughts
you let them pass because you are already the person who has it all. if you identify as the person who has their desires (“i have xyz”) why would you let little doubts deter you? they can come in your mind ALL DAY but if you don’t identify with them, they don’t hold power.
if YOU know you’re already the person who has their desire, nothing and no one can stop them from conforming.
for example, if you were famous and all of a sudden you were told “no, you’re not!”
would you go:
“i’m not? oh my god… you’re right. i’m not famous!”
or
“uh…? wrong. because the evidence* is right there? i just said i’m famous so that’s what i am…. famous. lol.”
*evidence = you. your state/4D/mind.
☆ ┊𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝟑𝐃 - 𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆 ≠ 𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆
→ ┊ REACTING is looking at the 3D and complaining. settling for what you see as a fact.
EXAMPLE: seeing the opposite of your manifestation
DON’T: “my life sucks. i hate it here. see? this is why i can never manifest what i want.” and settling for these thoughts as facts.
DO: “it doesn’t matter what i see. what and who i claim to me in my mind/imagination is the real fact that has no choice to be externalized!”
→ ┊ INTERACTING is doing what you need to do in the 3D/physical world but knowing that what you claim in your mind is the REAL fact.
EXAMPLE 1: you’re manifesting a romantic partner.
physically: when someone asks you “hey, are you in a relationship?” you say no.
but in your mind you go: sike. i have the perfect girl/boyfriend 🤭🤭
EXAMPLE 2: you’re manifesting money
physically: you decline to hangout with your friends because you have no money at the moment.
but in your mind you go: “i literally have so much money lol ?? i’m the richest person in the world with all the money i have in the bank.”
EXAMPLE 3: attending therapy or venting to loved ones
physically: “life’s been really difficult lately and it makes me feel stuck. i had a few breakdowns and anxiety problems, etc.”
mentally: (after venting) “that made me feel a little better. i let my feelings out instead of bottling them in. i know i have/will get my desires! everything’s okay. i’m safe.”
it doesn’t matter what you do or say in the 3D!
consciousness is the only reality so if you continue to dwell in the state most favorable to you, that is all that matters!
in this context: the repetition of affirmations. not repeatedly going back to the state of the wish fulfilled.
i’ve gotten a number of asks in the past asking me why they didn’t get what they want if they repeated the thought so many times. my only conclusion from this side of the screen is that you are in the state of trying to get it.
when manifesting, you don’t try. you either have it or you don’t.
so are you person a?
“okay i have to affirm on loop for 20 minutes, 2 times a day or else, i won’t get it my manifestation!”
blushy’s observation: you aren’t being the person who has their desires if you still feel like you need to get them. so you do all these things like over-consume information, force yourself to affirm the same affirmations on loop 1000x, looking for more answers, etc.
you simply aren’t in the state of being. you’re in the state of lack / trying to get it.
how can you try to get something you already have?
so switch states! how? scroll back up.
or person b?
“i feel like saturating my mind. why not? it’s fun.” →
“i already have all of my desires because i said so. there’s no need for me to worry or stress because it’s already mine! it’s done…” and so on.
so do you have it? yes or no?
☆ ┊𝐒𝐎 𝐖𝐇𝐘 𝐃𝐎 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐒 𝐌𝐀𝐍𝐈𝐅𝐄𝐒𝐓 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐓𝐇𝐎𝐔𝐆𝐇𝐓𝐒 𝐃𝐎𝐍’𝐓?
a related question: do dominant thoughts manifest?
you can affirm all day and be able to affirm on autopilot in the middle of your sleep or doing chores but if you:
don’t accept them as facts (assumptions)
identify with them
are in the state of trying to get them by going: “i need to affirm more or else i won’t receive my desire.”
you won’t see results.
that’s why it can only take one decision for a manifestation to come to fruition. you fully accepted it as a fact that the version in imagination is the true person who has it whether it be a desire or doubt.
it’s all about the knowing it’s already yours IN IMAGINATION - that your success is inevitable and it has no choice but to conform and harden into fact.
it’s called the law of assumption for a reason! (as neville even once said, law of being) you accept / assume you are the person who has it as true without any physical evidence because you know that imagination creates reality.
❝ This is the law of assumption so, if you assume that repeating affirmations all day will get you some kind of movement / your manifestation, that’s what you’ll get. It’s the same thing with techniques and methods, you give your thoughts and these ways of manifesting power. Thoughts are products of your state of consciousness but it doesn’t mean they’re all true. The idea that dominant thoughts manifest makes it seem tedious. The law is simple. Especially for people who are new to the law, you’re introduced to this idea and you begin to police every thought you have and affirm all day, everyday to make sure that your every dominant thought surrounding each topic in your life is a positive one. That’s exhausting and it’s not supposed to be. It contradicts the fact that you don’t have to make a smidge of effort in order to get your desires. […] It gives your thoughts power when you are not your thoughts. You are who you claim to be in imagination because imagination creates reality. So if you visualized or affirmed that you are the person who lives their dream life and accept it as a fact in your mind, nothing can make that change other than you and you are pure consciousness. You can have negative thoughts and feel your emotions because just like the outer world, they have nothing to do with you unless you identify with them. So choose your story. Your silly little thoughts or the fact that you are the person who has their desires. ❞ — blushydior
all you have to do is accept it as a fact that you are the person who has their desire and you will manifest faster than the speed of light.
this is my opinion but i don’t like the idea of affirming so much to wait until a thought is dominant so it can manifest. it’s very limiting.
it is a fact that you ARE the person who has your desire! the reason why affirming on loop and “dominant thoughts manifest” concept works for others is because they assume it does. remember that techniques don’t manifest, you do.
❝ An assumption, though false, if persisted in, will harden into fact. ❞
if you are affirming on loop and aren’t seeing results, this may be your problem and understanding states is the solution you’ve been looking for!
☆ ┊𝐖𝐇𝐘 𝐃𝐎 𝐏𝐄𝐎𝐏𝐋𝐄 𝐀𝐅𝐅𝐈𝐑𝐌 𝐎𝐍 𝐋𝐎𝐎𝐏?
this goes along with manifesting with hard circumstances and being a neurodivergent!
i state in my guide that i knew i was the person who already had my desires and since i was constantly filled with intrusives, doubts, and other things (i didn’t identify with them, i just wanted them to lessen) i repeated them as reminders to made me feel better to saturate my mind that: “yes! i do have it.”
saturation is NOT necessary. you don’t need to do it but it helps in many cases as a technique to sustain your state and coping mechanism. it makes persistence easier for many.
another thing.
if you are this person:
“okay i’m going affirm all day and then i will get it!”
you will succeed because that is the assumption you’ve created. you fully accepted it as a fact that if you repeat it over and over again, you will get your manifestation.
Guess who made a new tarot spread 🥰🥰!! Will be sharing it once the lay out is completed but it is a rather lengthy one to help find clarity when you’re stuck in life!!
Okay, I’ve been really struggling to connect with certain aspects of Hellenic polytheism and I think my main issues are not really knowing where to start. Who to start WITH that wants to work with me.
Are there any fairly reputable places to get a deity reading? I know they won’t be 100% accurate, but I still would like all the help I could get. 😅
If anyone knows of anyone that does good deity readings please let me know! 💜
While a God "wanting you" might be a concept for various witchcraft traditions (or neo-pagan traditions I don't know about) when it comes specifically to Hellenic Polytheism you do not need to find a God who "wants to work with you." I recognize that you might still want divination for the matter and that's perfectly fine. But I want to stress how this is not the case within the religion of Hellenic Polytheism hence this long post.
Think about all the God you like, throw all their names into a hat, pull one out. Ta dah you've picked a God— I'm going to give much more thoughtful ideas but it is literally that simple.
In this religion you can pick any of the Theoi and begin worshipping period end of story. No divination, no signs, no feelings, just sincere worship. That is all that is needed.
The Gods are worthy of worship and will appreciate that worship from any sincere person. There are zero historical precedents to say that Gods wanted worship from these individuals but not these individuals. There is zero historical precedent that every individual person needed divinations or signs to figure out which God to worship.
Ancient people's lives were permeated by the Gods both in the home, community, and government. Thus they worshipped which ever Gods played major roles in the traditions of their area and region.
Where To Start:
If you want an altar:
Clear up a space big or small. Make sure it is clean.
Choose an item for the God such as a picture of them, a statue, or some other object. Place it in that space.
Add anything you might like: candle, incense, flowers, cloth to cover surface, decorations, etc. This is a space for the Gods in your home and life.
Many Hellenic Polytheists will also keep Khernips (by @/forthegloryofthetheoi) aka purified water on their altar/shrine
If you'd like you can keep a cup and bowl for libations at this space
You can keep a prayer book or religious journal here also
Basic Act of Worshiping— I'm using Zeus as an example:
Wash hands.
Prepare a glass of water or other liquid
Go to the altar if you have one
Wipe hands with Khernips (unless you made an entire bowl to wash hands in the sacred water which I don't)
Sprinkle Khernips lightly on the altar space
Light the candle or incense if you use either
"O Mighty Zeus, King of the Gods, you are strong and powerful. I have come to honor you"
Hold up the glass of water
"Zeus, Lord of lightning, I offer you this water out of gratitude and love. I have given to you before and I will give to you again"
Pour the water slowly either into a separate bowl, onto the ground, into a fire, or down a clean sink.
"Zeus, strong and powerful, I ask that you help me get through today's conference call. I thank you and say farewell."
Simpler, you can even do this at a sink or in a shower:
Wash hands
Take glass of water and hold it up
"Zeus you are mighty and powerful, I seek your help for this meeting, this water I have brought is to show my desire to honor you"
Pour water out into bowl, ground, fire, or clean sink.
"Thank you, Zeus, King of the Gods"
The above is important because it builds reciprocity (Kharis) between Gods and mortals. But other worship activities include:
Say a prayer when lighting incense to state that it as an offering
Meditate at the altar. Let the idea of your gods help calm your soul
Dance or sing for the Gods at your altar or play them music
Read the myths aloud to the Gods at your altar
Say longer prayers and supplication if you desire. Guide by @/olivewreathed and Guide by @/sisterofiris
Give food, which is similar to the libation formula. Hellenic Polytheists disagree on what to do with the food afterwards which is why I always suggest a libation at the beginning.
Make sure to tend to the space you've created and keep it clean
Create a Kathiskos. Guide from Hellenion. Video Guide by @baringtheaegis who is very recon centered.
Continue to learn but do not let the idea of learning hinder your worship
Not so much worship but practicing, Arete ("excellence" being your best self), Xenia (Hospitality and I also take this to mean treating other's well), Eusebia (piety towards the Gods), and Sophia (pursuit of knowledge). These are important aspects of Hellenic Polytheism beyond prayer and the altar.
I suggest Labrys Household Worship book here is an article that has a lot of the book. And while I have not finished reading it yet, thus far Hellenic Paganism by Samantha Leaver has been excellent. Also a masterpost on Hellenic Polytheism compiled by @pinkhellenicgods.
Some Ideas for Choosing a Theos to begin with:
You can pick literally any (or none) of these I'm not trying to overwhelm anyone I'm just trying to give a whole dump of ideas for people. I suggest Theoi.com for easy access info on the Theoi.
🔹You could start with Hestia because she is Goddess of the home and thus an excellent place to start in my opinion.
🔹Zeus and Hera the King and Queen of The Theoi
🔹A Theos or Daimon related to your work/studies. Examples.
Apollo or Asklepios for the health care field
Hermes for communication or information technology fields
Gaia for environmental fields
Themis, Dike, Zeus for legal fields
Athena, Metis, or Sophia for general studies
Hephestios for engineering fields
Rhea, Artemis, Apollo, Hera, or Zeus for parenthood
Nyx if you work the "graveyard shift"
🔹A Theos or Daimon related to something you want to improve in your life. Example
Aphrodite or the Khairtes for self-love or if you struggle with body image issues
Hermes or Iris for communication abilities or interpersonal conflict
Hygeia for struggles with hygiene or disorganization
The Nymphai for building environmental sustainable life habits
Sophrosyne or Dionysos for substance abuse (You cannot convince me that his realm of drinking excludes moderation or elimination if it is a problem for a worshipper)
Demeter, Hestia, Hephaistos, Pan, Artemis for any problems surrounding food
Hypnos for sleep hygiene or sleep disorders
Soteria for easing fears
Hermaphroditos, Aphrodite, Dionysos, for LGBT+ identity and issues (Ace inclusive)
🔹A Theos or Daimon related to things you want to do. Example:
Athena for weaving or other handcrafts
The Mousai for learning an instrument
Themis or Dike for activism work
Nike for sports
Apollo or Phoibe for divination
Poseidon for ocean or water activities
Xenia (or any of the Gods with that epithet) for charity work
Hermes for writing
There are many more bullets that could be added and Gods that could be added to each of the existing bullet points. Especially when epithets come into play.
Some Practice Ideas...
...I've considered (most of which I haven't done) that could be useful brainstorming:
🔹Which ever of the Gods you chose simply give them a libation once a day with the short prayer. You can pick a time or better yet an activity to make it consistent. For example, do it directly after you finish getting dressed. Do it right before you eat breakfast or dinner. Do it before you get ready for bed. Etc, that way it stays consistent and you always have a reminder.
🔹Surrounding the passage of the day/time. The prayers can be very short letting you do them by simply pausing for a minute or two. You can offer a simple libation in the morning and/or night with the prayer.
Prayer to Hemera or Helios in the morning
Prayer Example: "Beautiful Hemera, I thank you for this day, I seek your favor and honor you with my actions. Good morning."
Prayer to Nyx or Selene at night
Prayer to Helios at noon if you don't pray to him in the morning. (I do solar noon but you can just do noon)
Prayer Example: "Shining Helios, as you reach your peak this day, I remember you, I thank you for your life giving light."
Incorporation of 12-Horai such as Mesembria at noon, Dysis at sundown, not sure if Auge would be dawn and Anatole sunrise—but you get the idea.
Prayer to one of the 4-Horai each day of the season we are in— so right now in Northern Hemisphere Kheimon (Winter) tacked on at morning or night
🔹Surrounding daily activities. And I do mean like 3 sentence prayers.
Prayer to Hemera or Auge upon waking
Prayer to Hygeia before showering or brushing teeth
Prayer Example: "Gentle laughing Hygeia, I enter this shower so I may cleanse myself. I remember your beauty and wish to honor you with my actions, so you may look favorably upon me"
Prayer to Apollo or other health Theoi when you take your medication (if you have it)
Prayer to Hestia at mealtime or before cooking
Prayer Example: "Hestia, first and last among the Olympians, home maker, I cook this food through your strength and thank you for this flame. May my body be replenished"
Prayer to Hermes, Hekate, or Apollo Argyieus, or Soteria when leaving house
Prayer to a Theos related to work/education as you arrive at work or school.
Prayer to a Theos related to a hobby or leisure activity when you start it
Prayer to Hypnos when you go to bed
You can make any combination that would follow the path of your daily activities; it could be any number too this is just an example. And perhaps one libation in the morning or night
🔹Focus on the "Household Gods" which I linked info above
Hestia
Zeus Ktesios
Zeus Herkeios
Apollo Argyieus
Hermes
Hekate
(Modern) Hera Oikos
🔹Follow a calendar like schedule to give a libation & prayer, as outlined above, to specific deities on certain days:
2 week period based on the order the Olympians were born in (or rather the order the internet told me)
1st Hestia
2nd Hera
3rd Demeter
4th Hades
5th Posideon
6th Zeus
7th Athena
8th Aphrodite
9th Ares
10th Artemis
11th Apollo
12th Hephestios
13th Dionysos
14th Whomever you wish
7 Day Version
1st Hestia, Zeus & Hera
2nd Apollo & Artemis
3rd Hades with Persephone during Fall & Winter
4th Aphrodite & Ares
5th Demeter with Persephone during Spring & Summer
6th Athena & Hephestios
7th Poseidon & Dionysos
I took this and simplified it. Its based on historical stuff like Heisods Work and Days some days have no Gods listed:
1st Selene, Apollo [Noumenios], Zeus Herkios and Ktesios, Hestia, and the other Theoi of the Household
2nd Agathos Daimon
3rd Athena
4th Aphrodite, Eros, Herakles, and Hermes, as well as perhaps Poseidon, Apollo, and Hermaphrodite
5th The Erinyes, Eris, and Horkos
6th Artemis
7th Apollo
8th Poseidon, Asklepios and Theseus
9th The Mousai, Helios, Rhea
11th The Moirae (Klotho, Lakhesis, and Atropos)
13th Athena
15th The Erinyes, Eris, and Horkos
16th Artemis
21st Apollo, [Demeter]
23rd Athena
25th The Erinyes, Eris, and Horkos
30th Hekate
I'd love to make my own 30 day thing (as well as the 2 weeks or 7 days not focused solely on the 13 Olympians) because the above just doesn't click, but that's a project for another day. Also do not worry about calendars or festivals this is just an idea.
I think that covers the ideas in my head, thanks for reading if you got this far
Oh my goodness! Thank you so much for all this information! I really appreciate it. 💜 I’m going to go reread and then figure out when/how I’m going to implement some of this.
Ares being a villain and misogynist is a modern portrayal because he's the God of War.
In myth, he was not a villian and actually cared about women in his myths which is genuinely surprising given the time period his myths were written.
He killed his daughter's rapist. He loved his mother. He actively supported his Amazon-Queen daughters. He gave his female children gifts as well as his male children. He saved his daughter from death by turning her and her husband into snakes and brought them to the Island of the Blessed. He actively encouraged Aphrodite in other aspects than just her beauty (she is known as a warrior Goddess in some regions!).
He is NOT a misogynist.
Source:
Ares was the ancient Greek god of war, battlelust, courage and civil order. In art he was depicted as either a mature, bearded warrior armed

Crystal elixirs, or sometimes referred to as essences, are made by infusing water with the vibrations of a particular crystal or stone. They are used for physical, emotional and spiritual healing as well as magic. The most common way of using them is by drinking the water, but they can also be used topically on the skin or added to bathwater.
WARNING & TAKE CAUTION: Some crystals and stones are highly toxic and should never be used in elixirs. Amazonite, azurite, cinnabar, emerald, malachite and pyrite are just a few examples of minerals containing toxins that can leach into water. There are other stones that will begin to dissolve in water, such as selenite and kunzite. Rule of thumb; names ending in ‘ite’ are problematic when they come into contact with water.
If you are considering substitutions for the elixir spells, or branching out to create your own, this is not the time to simply “go with your gut”. It’s very important to do a thorough research on any stone you’re considering for use in an elixir. It’s also recommended to use polished stones rather than raw, since there is even less likelihood of any unwanted mineral traces leaching into the water.
Simple Elixirs
Below are some instructions for creating a simple elixir to be used within a day or two. For longer-lasting elixirs, you’ll need to use a preservative - brandy, vodka or distilled vinegar for you young’uns. The advantage of taking this extra step is that you can use the elixir multiple times over an extended period of time, just a few drops will usually suit most purposes.
For the sake of keeping it simple, I will not be including this step. But if you are intent on this, ask me how privately!
Note: There are methods for charging water with toxic stones that don’t involve placing the stone directly in the water. However, for safety’s sake, we will not be going over those at this time.
Spring water or purified water - tap water is okay in a pinch but it’s best to at least use a Brita or other type of filter if possible.
Clear glass bowl - a drinking class is an appropriate substitute.
Clear lid or plastic wrap.
A crystal or stone (nontoxic) of your choice.
3-5 quartz crystals (optional - these amplify your intentions!)
Place the cleared and charged stone in the bowl, focusing on your intention for the elixir. Slowly pour the water over the stone, using at least enough water to make one class but not much more than that.
Allow the crystal’s vibrations to charge the water. This could take a couple of hours or it could be overnight, depending on your preference. Many witches like to use sunlight for a couple of hours. This doesn’t work on cloudy days, however, and isn’t recommended for stones that fade in sunlight such as colored quartz and fluorite. Moonlight is a great alternative, provided it’s clear skies and the moonlight shines directly onto the stone for a couple of hours.
In addition, you can use quartz crystals placed around the elixir to strengthen the vibrational quality of the water, but this is entirely up to you.
It is also possible to leave the elixir indoors overnight, either covered or in the fridge. The stone will release its vibrations into the water regardless of where it’s sitting. It’s just nice to have the enhancement of natural light.
If neither sunlight or moonlight is possible, don’t let that stop you! And if you can use quartz around the elixir, this can definitely raise the quality!
Once charged, pour the water into a drinking glass or a jar - not made by metal or plastic if possible - and catch the stone in your hand before it falls into the new container.
Thank the stone for its energy and its presence in your life. You can repurpose the stone and charge it for other intentions!
Your elixir is good for 24 hours.
Crystal Bath Spells
If the elixir does not work for you, then using crystals in a bath is just as good of a way to create an energy adjust for the mind, body and soul! Similar to the elixirs, the vibrations of the crystals infuses the water with their balancing energies. Clear quartz and rose quartz are safe, popular stones to use this way.
Remember to research other crystals if you are wanting to experiment. Some stones will dissolve and others may be toxic for the skin. Be sure to rinse and recharge stones after using them in the bath!
Crystal & Candle Spells
Crystals and candles make great partners in magic, symbolizing the elements of earth and fire, as well as the stones representing their own elements! This type of crystal magic allows for more flexibility when it comes to creating your own variations, as you can use any kind of stone you like without worrying about toxicity or water damage.
You will need:
4 of your chosen crystals
1 candle representing your intentions.
Arrange the crystals in a circle around the candle.
Touch each one with your power hand and directly charge it for the purposes you are seeking to manifest. Remember your affirmations! Say along the lines of: “I now charge this crystal with the power to connect to ______” Insert your intentions.
After charging each crystal, close your eyes and visualize how you will feel when there are no concerns to trouble you. Really feel the emotions and embrace them, remember how it feels knowing that your shoulders bear no more burdens regarding your intentions. You can say, “I manifest ______ in my daily life, having all that I need and more.”
Leave the crystals in place until the candle burns out on it’s own.
Crystal & Herb Spells - my favorite.
Joining crystals with herbs in spellwork is a great way to amplify the power of each of these Earth-given magical tools. We will go over spell jars later, but these come into play. You can combine your stones or crystals with any herbs you are needing to use that will help with your intentions, whether it’s love, finances, career, etc.
Buried Crystal Spells
These spells use the power of the Earth even more directly by returning the crystals to their source. Raw stones are ideal for this type of work since there are no traces of chemical additives between the surface of the stone and the soil, but you can use polished stones as well! The strength of your focused intention is more important than the stone and whether it’s polished or raw.
Simply charge the crystal with your intention and, making sure this crystal is one you can part with, take the stone to a location far from your home. Somewhere you rarely find yourself in. It could be a park, across town or a wooded/otherwise rural area. Bury the stone in the earth. Then walk away without looking back.
Calling a Crystal into Your Life
If you are finding yourself in a position that you are unable to get any crystals or stones, or feeling as if you’d like to bring more into your life, ask the Universe directly. The Universe will then help you connect to the stone that was meant for you!
Here is a good spell to work prior to making online orders for crystals.
You will need.
1 white candle.
Sea salt (the crystalline structure of sea salt adds a magical boost to your intention)
Sprinkle the salt in a circle around the candle while saying: “With this sacred salt of Earth, I ask the right crystal to come into my life.”
Close your eyes and visualize yourself surrounded by beautiful, sparkling crystals of every color. Take a few deep breaths and then light the candle while saying: “It is so. Blessed be.”
Final Thought
This really is just a few things you can do with crystals to help enhance your magic, or intentions. As you grow within your craft, you’ll learn new things, read new books and come up with your own spells. This is a beautiful thing! You will do things intuitively. Trust your intuition, do your research and really enjoy spells!
