Len, being a virtual idol, is the kind of entity you’d want to reach out to when it comes to creative, but especially musically creative, endeavors. He is kind, playful, and usually very willing to help out.
Devotional offerings I give are as follows:
Physical-
trinkets that remind me of him
“Metaphorical”
singing, dancing, and helping others out.
I haven’t worked with him for long, but i have wanted to for some time. If there are any Vocaloid based pcp practitioners out there, please interact! I’d love to talk.
Hello! I am curious on Pop culture pagan and what it all means and what goes into it(what you do), I'm also curious on why you picked Jonathan
I didn't really *pick* Johnny, it just sort of happened?
*Longish Answer Below*
Him and I share similar experiences when it comes to abuse, neglect and mockery. When I was younger (after my fathers suicide so I was about…6?) I began reading comics and novels, stumbling across Johnny and as the years passed, the more connected I felt because of the similar experiences and complications we both share in life.
It wasn’t until my later years that I connected with the Norse God Loki, understanding that he has been in my life since I was a child. I bring this up because with any abuse I have experienced, I could slip into a meditative state and or a sort of lucid day dream state and I would meet Johnny there, in this state, who would calm me and or let me cry or express my feelings with little or no judgement unless it was needed.
Even more after I survived domestic violence and rape from my ex, Johnny’s presence and Loki’s were around more and more then.
Loki is my spiritual rock for guidance and prayers. Johnny is my emotional rock for my thoughts and memories that are hard to deal with and to understand.
Because of this, I believe that Loki uses the guise of Johnny for my own comfort. Not that I cannot have the conversations with Loki as I do, Johnny. But it feels different and it relates differently.
When I accepted this as fact rather then thought, Johnny has been around much more often and Loki less. Given the fact that this month has been an emotional downpour of sorts, it’s understandable that Loki would give me space and Johnny could step in. I have been told by Loki through my own UPG that ‘’He trusts Crane’’.
Loki is self aware of Crane but Johnny is not aware of Loki.
The energy that I believe to be Loki has either spilt off into this entire other entity or it is another guardian spirit in the guise of Johnny and using this form as comfort for me.
Either way, I accept it and work with both as best as I can.
As far as what I do? I assume you mean my practice with Johnny.
There isn’t much to tell, I know many people who work inside the DC universe who have a tremendous system put in place as far as spirit archetypes, magic work and a sort of spiritual system in place.
I have never behaved that way with Loki in my personal practice, it’s always been winged and on the moment, fresh and not dictated. Then again, I am an Aquarius tried and true, I don’t follow structures very well.
I apply the same as to my relationship with Johnny, we have no system…unless you count offerings of coffee at 7am in the morning? That is about it. He will give me some ideas for curse work but its more of a joke to him. Divination with Johnny is out because he ‘’Hates parlor tricks’’ and is more of a man of science and seriousness than wanting to play oogie boogie on a spirit board. If ya’ catch my drift?
I have little to no interest in any system set up, I personally feel that for me, it takes away the freshness and spontaneity of the spiritual relationship. But this is me and this is my UPG and what works for me, everyone is different Anon <3
I also employ the uses of Lucid Dreaming and meditation to visit Johnny in Arkham. It is a set ground we have agreed to meet on, he knows the place and I know of what he has shown me. It’s more comfortable for him to be met there and I simply find the entire facility fascinating.
Our talks vary from what one could call a therapy session in Arkham to ranting slightly and or hearing him make a few complaints here and then. We talk about our experiences (when he feels like being open about them) we talk about other rogues as well. It depends? His moods can shift a lot.
I hope this helps to answer your question? Feel free to ask anything!
