06 : Write a devotional poem.

My thorn, my sword, my tune My petal, my needle, my lyric A flower in bloom, a note sung perfect these I know are you O Narcísse! Out of the Lion's den you came Like Aphrodite from the sea As the naked Goddess feels no shame You live just as free! O Ricky! Out of the dungeon's keep you came Like Venus shining at first light As the star inspires with it's flame Your voice ignites souls to flight! O Auroré! Out of love and song you came Like hearts when lips touch As we sing your praise and fame You love us just as much! My courage, my confidence, my creative My defense, my dance, my determination A pain felt before, now meditative You I know are the causation

18 : If you had the freedom, money, and space, what is the most extravagant offering you would make? 10 ft tall gold statue depicting Ricky and Narci'sse dancing together to become Aurore' 19 : What’s the oddest thing you’ve offered up to them? my husband's playmobile clowns were kind of a wild card but I made it work 20 : How often do you typically make offering? How often do you typically pray? I give offerings as they show up, there's really no schedule. Praying is also kinda as needed. They aren't very on the forefront? I feel like they are still kinda learning their godhood so must stuff is asking for assistance doing things than asking for things. 21 : Make a moodboard for them.

(middle pic is them) 22 : What’s something you wish other people understood about this guide? Traditionally they represented Love and Commitment/Marriage, but they are also represent gender identity and a love you only get for yourself after loving someone else. 23 : What’s your favorite story about this guide? In their mythos, they chose the name Narci'sse because everyone always called them a Narcissist and I always thought that was a powermove. 24 : What about this guide resonates with you the most? They very much represent themselves as not just love and shit, but the actual pain that comes with love. When I asked them what their role was they gave 'the underworld' card which I thought was strange for an Aphrodite-esque entity. I struggled most of my life feeling like I was not lovable and only when I was about to lose my partner did I actually understand that I was loved and able to love. Their shadow element resonates with me the most because anyone can find a deity for sexual attraction or romance but they are about true commitment. Are you commited enough to yourself and your loved ones to realize you are causing the problems and only you can stop them? This is why they preside of the Trials people have to go through throughout relationships. Are you still in love when one is severely ill? Are you still in love when our bodies change? Are you still in love when you family pulls you one way and your heart the other? 25 : What kind of relationship do you have? We were a lot closer when I was younger and needed more of their help, for sure, but now I feel we get to enjoy each other now that I'm mentally stable. Mostly now I call upon them for help with arts and crafts instead of trying to coach me through gender crisis. 26 : Make a digital altar in your medium of choice (Tumblr, pinterest, Minecraft, etc). If you already have one, add more to it. If you feel comfortable, share a picture of it

Here is their animal crossing room! 27 : How often do you interact with them? Do you interact directly or indirectly? Pretty much any time I cook they are there. They have a mini permanent altar in the kitchen. All of my guides and I interact directly! 28 : Wildcard: Talk about whatever the heck you want to here. I would do anything to have the original yahoo chat lots with his lore. My friend and I had an ouran rp who I created Narci'sse and Ricky for. Also, Ricky's former name was Utsu, which I adopted as an online name for a very very very very very long time, I still have a friend who calls me Uts from this period!! my username was utsu-chan in some form for my old deviantart and flickr. I renamed her Ricky because her vessel doll's name was Uncanricky

28 days of Devotion 7->11

07 : Tell the story of your favorite memory with them. Kinda boring I don't really TOO much interaction with them. Although one time I did draw cards for advice about poly dating and they were like "sorry too monogamous for that ask someone else" I've roleplayed as their characters Ricky and Narci'sse for years and years and I recently remembered some middle school era lore that Narci'sse had a pet turtle named Felipe??? that lore did not stand the test of times Probably spent most of my time working on their sims here's some highlights

ricky {she/they}, aurore'{they,she,he}, narci'sse {he,him} 08 : What things do you associate with this guide? i'm not going to bore you with a full correspondence list so here's a list of random shit mostly pop culture: Dalida, Aphrodite, Ouran Host Club,ametrine, Alice in Wonderland, Las Paraplues de Cherbourg, Peu D'ane, Phantom of the Opera, Sleeping Beauty (Hence why their name is Aurore'), Rose of Versailles Lady Oscar specifically lmao, daisies, daffodils, roses, and poppies, lady gaga, garnet and therefore sapphire and ruby, the hermetic androgyne, that one billie eilish and charlie xcx song about underwear I think it's called guess?, and every barbie movie ever 09 : What sorts of things do you generally rely on this guide for? If Aurore'/Ricky/Narci'sse represent anything, it's commitment and love keeping you going in the darkest and angriest times. learning to take up space. staying connected even if you are realms apart. bettering yourself or lose everything vibe. so usually when I'm at those points. And also advice on cooking, inspiration for art, and self care 10 : What’s something that they helped you with that you still really appreciate to this day? Cooking. I was notorious for being a bad cook. Everything was always undercooked or overcooked and I just didn't know what I was doing. They have a permanent altar in the kitchen and it's been such a help! They helped me realize that I didn't care about my body and therefore I didn't care about my food. I didn't realize that the reason I was bad at cooking was because I didn't feel like I deserved food that tasted good. When I started cooking for someone else then I realized that I wouldn't want my partner to eat bad tasting food. Now when I cook I am way more confident and even have a few 'signature' dishes! I measure with my heart and listen to their advice like 'swap brown sugar for white sugar' and such. They also seem to put relevant recipes in front of my face when I need them!

28 days of devotion

I don't have enough time to do this every day so I will be doing these in chunks.

01 : Pick your guide or guides that you'll be doing this challenge for, and talk about them! Explain who they are. My guide(s) this month are Narcísse, Ricky and their combined form, Auroré. They represent love for yourself and others, commitment, and art! Their tag on my blog is aurokvi

02 : Make a devotional playlist. It can be as short or as long as you'd like. What song(s) on it reminds you of them the most? IT'S MY LONGEST PLAYLIST TO DATE

I don't think anything can sum them up better than the songs that introduced me to them, Le Temps Des Fleurs by Dalida and Ne Me Quitte Pas by Mirielle Mathieu. Probably the first french songs I heard after downloading random music on LIMEWIRE LOL. 03 : What drew you to this guide in the first place? Oddly enough, they've been around since I was young, sprouting from watching Ouran Host Club and falling in love with Tamaki. I started writing fanfiction and thus Narcísse was born. Ricky (who for the longest time was named Utsukushii. I switched her first and middle name so it's Ricky Utsukushii ), came around the same time. Honestly I just assumed they were spirits like the other "characters" I made up. Legit they just showed up one day lol.

04 : Who approached who first?  I'm going to say that Auroré did not approach me but instead kicked in the door and slapped me awake. They have been pretty integral to my art, cooking, and gender since then.

05 : Tell the story of how you met or first talked. If you've taken an oath or anything like that, tell the story. Kind of an odd story. Auroré is the first guide i've had that snuck up on me. I didn't know they existed but had an inkling. After watching Steven Universe there was something about Fusion that struck me to my core and I wondered if any of my spirits fused. I was doing a reading trying to figure out what my 12 guides roles were in my life. I drew all the cards and suddenly realized I drew 13 piles. At first I thought of discarding the extra pile but I looked at the cards and through a few clarification readings I found out it was TRUE that two of my spirits fuse to make one. There was a brief moment in a trance where I woke up in Auroré's room covered in pink walls but it was just a blink then gone. I don't think we've spoken face to face (in trance) before? No specific oaths, however, they we part of my marriage ritual so they kinda of watch my oaths if that makes sense lol.

Devotional nails for Aurokvi part 2

Pinterest inspo

(not pictured: baby pink underside for the nails long enough to have it. seals things from getting under my nails.)

didn't do anything but a clear coat on my right hand. I'm still in shock shaving my dream nail length 🥺 it took a long time for me to come to terms with the fact that I can't have every finger have a long nail, Having the length gradually get longer makes it look a lot more even and still functional. having my nails healthy long and painted is a specific siignal my mental health is okay!

Devoting this art reminds me even simple acts of color and thoughtfulness can mean a lot, and now that I have to kinda keep it on the down low at work, showing my left hand is a sign of trust!

[knightofhylia]

Finally set up Auroré's altar! They were mainly in the kitchen but since it's their kvi they are next to Nayru. Definitely feeling their presence as I crave chocolate, cheese, and sleeping.

Symbolism heavy on love, romance, relationships, self image, fantasy, and music.

All of the Doorables are from my sister except the Cricket which I found on the ground looking for pants at target, so lucky me! Princess Bride picture was cut from a local theater mailer.

Divinating for next reading slots cycle!

I really like letting the deck pick the questions so I'm going to try and post the readings I do to figure out the spreads for reading slots! Showing this so that people who get the readings can see where I am coming from and also what an more indepth reading might look like from me. Next cycle is Aurokvi so I will be using the new Alice in Wonderland oracle I got for christmas (named Ricky) and Joie de Vivre Tarot by Paulina Cassidy ( named Narcísse).

Manage to be Glad: Create your own Happiness Regardless of Conditions

Page of Cups

Overall: First card is pretty to the point. A lot of people wish they could be happy but they don't know how. It's easy to look at "other people and say of course they can do it but I can't", when in reality the only difference is who knows how to choose happiness. In magick we talk about gratitude and abundance and love yet in reality most of us are miserable in our everyday lives and want to escape it, hence our draw to magick. But the magick is HERE and you can make it. There is no rule to making happiness and it can be found in any situation. Even in the worst circumstances there is always a glimmer of hope. Gratitude is something built milimeter by milimeter. Even in death, destruction, and disaster there is always a balance of community and hope. So for this cycle the spread will be The Rule (a reminder of hope, referencing the 'Rule of Happiness' the queen forget, a light in the dark) The Revery (an idea or message to motivate your forward, a daydream to make reality, the rabbit to follow)
