Monday (he/him) @theashesinmycigarettebox - Tumblr Blog

Quick intro post/about me:

I've been a witch on and off for five years, and I've very recently gotten out of a looooooong spiritual hiatus.

The deities/entities I work with and worship are Dionysus, Hecate, Hermes, Euterpe, Huitaca, Archangel Michael and Mother Mary (all are tagged as they're referred to here)

I am Latino and queer and I practice folk Catholicism as well as paganism.

I post a lot about paganism as well as my evolving journey with Christianity so if either make you uncomfortable then don't follow <3 but I will never push any of my religious beliefs on anybody.

FANDOM BLOGS DNI! It feels invalidating and disrespectful to me to post about my gods and have people in the notes treating them like silly fiction. Stop that.

I personally believe that magick works best when it is your own.

For example, create your own spells. Don't copy someone else's spellwork. You can use them for inspiration, but what worked for them might not work as well for you.

Magick is most powerful when you pour your heart into it and it comes from your own ideas.

TRANSGENDER DOES NOT JUST LOOK LIKE PAIN AND SUFFERING AND OUTCAST. TRANSGENDER LOOKS LIKE JOY AND HOPE AND GOD AND LIFE AND FUTURE AND STABILITY. CAN ANYBODY HEAR ME. ITS ALL ABOUT HOPE!!!!!!!

doves and pigeons being basically identical scientifically speaking is so important to me.

the dove, the symbol of the Holy Spirit, of God's immeasurable love and mercy come to intercede for us. is the same bird as the common "flying rat" of the cities, the slums, the poor, dilapidated areas that most folk would never willingly go.

even there. there is God. and He comes scruffy and dirty

To mock and belittle the poor, homeless and imprisoned is to mock and belittle Christ. When we care for the disabled and the poor, we are caring for Christ.

if anyone wants to throw a prayer up for me I would appreciate it. my dog passed away this morning :(

People acting like gods are guard dogs is so wild to me

Like, yes, they can and usually do protect and stand up for the humans they care about

But that's their choice

You can't just go to your altar and say "Sick em' boy!"

I thought we understood this already

I've had people threaten me with deities, namely Hekate, and it's never a good feeling. In my experience, people have only done this as a means of intimidation or to get their way, specifically when I'm leaving a friendship or trying to communicate an issue in our connection. If people do this to you, get the hell away. The gods are not their guard dogs, and regardless of how protective a deity is over someone, I have NEVER encountered a deity who acts cruelly towards someone based on a minor interpersonal conflict.

1. It's not ok to threaten someone using the gods during a minor relationship conflict (personal opinion, speaking as someone who has been on the receiving end of this).

2. The gods aren't personal servants who do as their worshippers please 24/7. This is just common etiquette. Respecting the gods of any pantheon, in my opinion, is acknowledging that they are autonomous beings who act of their own accord. It's one thing to ask for help; it's another to demand it.

3. I obviously don't speak for the gods, but, hey, neither does anyone else. If someone is claiming that you're hated or despised by a god due to your relationship with that person, then that's a MAJOR red flag, in my experience. Run the hell away from that person.

Do not threaten other worshippers with your deity relationships. Do not lord your deity relationships over others as a means of control. Frankly, neither of these things are difficult to avoid doing. Please just be kind to one another, as much as you can be.
