I don’t think I’ve ever had a huge following on here, but I still get notes on some of my posts on occasion so I figure it’s worth me telling y’all what I’m up to, since I still lurk on witchblr for the information on occasion!
I best identify as an omnist pagan and eclectic witch. While my witchcraft practice is still very much in its baby stages due to my general lack of access to materials, I’ve grown a lot as a pagan who worships both the Hellenic and Norse Pantheons. Below the line, I detail how I began working with each of the gods that are now at the center of my religious practice.
Gods I Work With
Obviously it’s documented on my account that I worked with Apollo and Eos. They are both very special to me, but were mainly present to be accessible to me in the early days of my practice and they’re now not as present. At the moment, I work with three gods: two Greek, one Norse.
Hermes
Hermes was the first to come through after I got back into my practice in college and felt I should reach out to him. I always say that he’s like an older brother who helps me keep my perspective and take care of myself. He’s told me directly that he’s here to help me keep conscious of my mental illnesses, and I can definitely see the effects thereof (I’m now on medication for my anxiety, and on my way to a diagnosis for ADHD). He mainly communicates to me via Lenormand cards, and he’s very direct and loves to call me a child, haha. He’s very important to me and I’m super glad with the relationship we have.
Sif
Lady Sif came into my practice as I reached out to her and started gaining interest in Norse paganism. She is the calming force: there to help me remember that my intrusive thoughts are intrusive and I’m allowed to be proud of what I create. My relationship with Lady Sif is largely UPG, because there aren’t a lot of us devotees out there, and the mythical information on her is supremely lacking. But I love her a lot and I’m so happy that she’s here for me. She communicates best through my opalite runes and through my candle (which I had made custom by my dear friend Kat, MorningstarWitchery on Etsy). My practice with Lady Sif is also somewhat in and of itself an offering to her husband, Thor, who agreed to keep my ex (who is an abusive jerk and the reason my pinned spell of cutting oneself off from abuse exists) away from me as reciprocity for my devotion.
Hekate
Lady Hekate is the only one of my deities to come in without me reaching out. My friend works with her, so I’d done some research into her on his behalf, but they and I were both shook when she showed up in a deity confirmation reading and in readings of my own with a very strong mission for me. She is here to help me dig into my practice, do shadow work, and really focus on self-growth. That’s all I feel like I should tell you. We converse through tarot and I appreciate her presence very much, even if she has the most aggressive energy of the three.
That’s where I’m at so far! Thank you for reading this far if you have; it’s my goal to share more about my practice with Lady Sif in particular, since there’s so little information on her. If you have questions on any of this or parts of my practice I didn’t cover, I’ll answer to the best of my ability!
