This chart is amazing! Thank you so much!
why be interested in people close to your age when you can be interested in people twice your age that are twice as attractive and twice as unlikely to ever reciprocate your feelings

How to Really Learn Palmistry
Magickal Moon
The moon has been a magickal presence for thousands and thousands of years. Ancestors of multiple cultures believed it had some spiritual significance. Science has helped us understand the moon and it’s effect on Earth, and astronauts who have visited the moon returned having a more spiritual connection, exploring religious or metaphysical beliefs more in depth.
Moon Phases and Magick
There are numerous spells you can perform while under the different phases of the moon. One simple ritual can be done to perform all the spells listed here by taking a small white candle to the window and gazing at the moon. Say your wish aloud and with feeling, then leave the candle to burn down and extinguish itself. (Remember to never leave a lit candle near a window unattended completely, or place it near a curtain).
The Full Moon
The moon and its phases were once theorized to interfere with our internal chemistry by exerting gravitational forces on our bodies, or that the moon’s gravitational fields caused electrical particles to fall down to Earth further interfering with the function of the brain. Many scientific studies have attempted to disprove this notion, as well as invalidating the belief that crimes and mental instability (such as lunatic) increased during full moons. The full moon does not have any negative connotations in the magickal world, it is just considered a very powerful time of the month. Fridays that fall on full moons, for example, are perfect days for casing love spells. If you try to cast a love spell during any other moon phase, it doesn’t mean it won’t work, but the results could take longer.
There are lots of other spells that can be cast during the benefit of a full moon also:
Protecting property and home
Adding vigor to your life
Anything to do with love
Increasing self-confidence
Advancing in career and work
Enhancing psychic ability/clairvoyance
Strengthening friendships and family bonds
Performing general good-luck spells
The Waxing Moon
During the waxing moon, witches like to cast spells for improving situations or getting things going if they have been stuck for a while. This is a good phase of the moon to help kick-start your life. The following spells are fast-acting during a waxing moon:
Moving forward from depression
Getting out of a rut
Passing exams and tests
Finding lost objects
Healing a sick animal or finding a lost pet
Nurturing abundant, healthy gardens and the well-being of nature
Losing weight or stopping smoking
The Waning Moon
The waning moon is perfect to cast spells for getting ride of negative energies that sometimes hang over your life. If you cast a spell during this moon phase, you will gain the power to take control again, strengthen weak areas, and become more assertive in actions. Cast spells during a waning moon for:
Developing inner strength and assertiveness
Banishing enemies
Stopping arguments
Soothing unruly children
Calming anxiety
Getting out of tricky situations
The New Moon
This lunar experience is appropriate for just about any spell. The new moon phase surrounds us with positive energy and can be a catalyst for immediate change. Transitions in life happen naturally around a new moon phase anyway, such as new jobs or births. To revolutionize your life during this time, cast spells for:
Career changes
Moving house swiftly and easily
Safe and enjoyable travel
Increasing your cash flow
Better health
Conceiving
Women and the Moon
In many early religions, the moon was worshipped as a goddess, and it has always been seen as a feminine symbol. The moon orbits at a distance of approximately 238,855 miles from Earth, and takes about 28 days to complete its orbit. In an interesting comparison, the amount of time between female menstrual cycles is the same amount of days.
Moons and Moods
Our demeanor changes depending on what the moon is doing. If you are interested in studying your own changes, keep a Book of Shadows about how you feel during each passing phase. Certain situations can naturally occur during certain phases, also. Animals may be affected by the full moon phase, and can become a bit more rambunctious. So if you’re a witch with felines, keep catnip at hand.
The Dark or Void of the Moon
During the dark moon, when the face of the moon is hidden, it is also known as the “dead” moon. It takes place precisely three days before a new moon, and is considered to be the most magickal and potent of all the phases. Many individuals who partake in black magick do so during this time. People using dark magick can influence any spells or rituals that you may be performing. Their collective power can cause cosmic havoc: our spells may become confused or simply not work at all. It is advised to be experienced wand wavers to attempt rituals at this time.

I've got a question I hope you can answer. how do you do offerings? like... you give it to them on your altar or in front of you I think, but then you take it away? and do what, do you then use it or throw it away or? I know they don't actually come and take it or else there would be no non believers, but I don't know how it does work. thanks!
Hello, Anon, and welcome!
First thing you do is prepare the altar space. Make sure it’s clean and dust-free, orderly, and pleasing to look at.
Next, think about the offering. Offerings don’t have to be food and food isn’t high on my list of things to offer. First, hunger is an issue in our world; the gods love virtue, and would probably rather food be given to the hungry than be prepared for them and discarded. Second, food and drink cannot be left out indefinitely, and must be disposed of afterwards with respect. Lighting a candle, burning incense, art, music, song, dance, and dedication of specific works, such as study, creation of art, exercise and sports can all be offerings.
Then, think about a prayer. Prayer always precedes offerings; it invites and welcomes the presence of the deity. It can be as basic as, “(insert name of deity), this is for you.” It can be one of the Homeric or Orphic Hymns (X and X) or a contemporary prayer someone else has written (see Underflow and winebrightruby) or something you compose yourself. You get to decide.
Once you’ve got everything organized and ready, make sure your personal appearance is presentable: you’re washed, teeth brushed, hair combed, clothes clean and in good condition. Wash your hands (some people wash or rinse their face, too).
Approach the altar with your offerings. Some people scatter barley on the altar (I do not, for the same reason I don’t generally offer food.) Also, it can get messy, which calls for additional cleanup.
Make your prayers (see above). When you get to the offering, be very specific as to what you are offering. “I offer this portion of wine.” “I offer this reading which reminds me of you because______.” “I offer this bracelet, which I will wear to remind me of you.” “I dedicate my participation in the bike race today to you.“
When I make a food offering, I l place a very small portion on the plate at the altar, at most a bite, at the least a few crumbs. The gods don’t require the food for nutrition; the offering is sharing something good with someone we respect and in this case it really is the thought that counts more than the size or expense of the offering. I leave the food on the altar for 10 or 15 minutes after I finish worship. I think leaving it out long enough to get stale or to attract the attention of insects or pets is disrespectful.
Make your requests, if any, known. Be aware of the possible consequences of your requests and, again, be specific in what you ask.* Offer thanks for the deity’s/deities’ visit. You might also express gratitude for the good things they have done for you, and/or for what good things you hope they may do for you. Some people make future intentions to the deity/ies : “I hope to return to worship you soon.” “May I complete the poem I’m writing for you, and return to recite it aloud before you.” “I will try to honor you through word and in deed.”
Now, the aftermath of offerings. Some people eat the food and drink the drink. I don’t. First, ancient Greeks didn’t eat the portion of food they offered the gods; in fact, they usually burned the gods’ portion to ashes. Second, I believe the deity takes the “essence” of the food so there’s no spiritual benefit to us eating it. Third, I intentionally offer a very tiny portion, too little to provide any actual nutrition. Other people do eat it, and that’s fine too. Whatever you decide to do, just be respectful and it will be fine. My experience is that if a deity doesn’t like something, they let us know.
Also be aware that ancient people didn’t eat food offered to chthonic deities; doing so implied one wanted to join the dead, which invites the possiblity of Very Bad Outcomes.
Respect in disposal is important. I wouldn’t feed the “used” offering to a pet, or throw it in the trash. Ways to discard “used” food offerings include: putting it in an inconspicuous place outdoors, working it into garden soil, burning, composting, dropping it into a natural stream or river, washing it down the drain, and burying it in a large planter filled with soil kept for this purpose, which one plans to work into one’s garden or around plants at some future time - more reasons for the portions offered to be minuscule.
I say a prayer: “May this food (or water or wine, whatever) which has been touched by the divine bring blessings to this soil (or stream, or throughout the water system.) Thank you, immortal gods, for your presence in my life and care for the world.”
If you offer a figurine or piece of jewelry, think what will you do with it if breaks, if your altar gets crowded, or should the altar become crowded at some point. You could pack it away to use again sometime, or give it to another worshiper to use, but carefully decide whether it would it be right to donate or sell something you have previously given to a deity.
If you offer an activity as an offering, you might make a short prayer when the activity is completed: “I finished the race I dedicated to you. May my effort to achieve my best time be pleasing to you.” “I finished the essay I wrote in your honor. Thank you for inspiring my study. I hope you will be pleased by my hard work.”
I hope this answers your questions! Please feel free to ask me about any points you feel need clarification - my #Hellenic Polytheism 101 tag has more about prayer and worship. May your path be blessed!
* Socrates is said to have prayed, "O King Zeus, grant to us all blessings, whether we pray for them or not. And deliver us from evil, even to the denial of our prayers.“
