An example of a polytheistic witch’s practice with deities:
Here’s how I incorporate the deities I work with and worship into my life and what I feel like I gain from them.
🖤 Shadow work:
Lucifer: church trauma
Loki: internalized transphobia and past s.a
——————
💙 Learning things:
Odin: Runes and Norse myths
Selene: Greek myths, moon spells and phases and crystals
Anubis: tombs and Egyptian history, and mythology
Horus: traditional kemetic religious practices
——————
💚 Activities: (places I regularly, easily incorporate them)
Ares, Thor, Horus: Video games, working out
Anubis: playing with/walking my dog, going to cemeteries, listening to music and dancing, art.
Thor: nature walks, standing in the rain
Selene: staring at the moon, art, anything aesthetic
Freyr: meditation, picking daisies and looking at flowers at the park
Odin: poetry, writing
Tyche: picking clovers for her at the park
Lucifer: lots of casual hanging out together, watching YouTube videos about people who left Christianity, Art
——————
💛 Working relationships:
Tyche: for luck spells and prayers
Anubis: for protection spells and prayers
Thor: for positivity and trans things
Freyr: for meditation work and positive masculinity influences
Selene: for charging moon spells, crystals and meditation
Odin: for wisdom and guidance
HeruSaAset: for perseverance and quitting nicotine (I did! First try over 3 months no nic)
Ares: for bringing out my confidence to stand up for myself
Hecate: for assistance in spells I don’t want to/can’t ask my other deities for
Nyx: (I have once worked with her to help me with protection wards for my home, I gave her coffee grounds in exchange for advice.)

This isn’t exactly meant to be a “how to” guide, your relationship with your deities should be special and unique to you! But I thought it might be nice to see an example of what that actually looks like in the life of a polytheistic witch. 🖤 I’d love to hear everyone else’s examples if they’d like to share. Or even just use this as a template to figure out what you’d answer for these categories in your own personal pantheon!
