you can’t be anti-immigration and helpol. you just cant. xenia is such an integral part of this religion. good will. hospitality. kindness to strangers. being anti-immigration goes against all that. if you’re helpol and anti-immigration do better.

May the Great Gods ever look kindly on our days, for we are as lucky and abundant as They bless us with, and everything we owe to Them.

there was a rumor that yunho ateez dating a florist can you confirm that w tarot?https://www.allkpop.com/article/2022/10/ateezs-yunho-wrapped-up-in-dating-rumors

With all do respect I do not feel as if it is an appropriate use of tarot and I feel that it is extremely disrespectful to the people involved. Tarot is a tool for self discovery and improvement not for spreading gossip or rumors.

PLEASE DO NOT USE TIKTOK AS A RESOURCE FOR HELLENIC POLYTHEISM

Tiktok is probably one of THE WORST places to learn about REAL hellenic polytheism because it is rampant with misinformation and most creators are only interested in views and parroting misinformation THEY heard. Yes there are some great and informative creators on there to learn about the hellenic gods but they are far and few in-between.

INSTEAD if you're new to the religion and have no clue where to start researching/learning, here are a few phenomenal creators on here with wonderful and informative posts!

@wisdom-devotee has an amazing guide for starting out in hellenic polytheism

@seasaltdevotion also recently made a fantastic post on resources for starting out

@crazycatsiren has a SUPER long list of resources and research material

@khaire-traveler has possibly the greatest list on subtle deity worship for just about every god

Please actually learn from those of us that truly love and covet this religion and spread information that will truly benefit you.

Nazis will never be welcome in paganism. They have no space in our communities, we will have a zero tolerance policy when it comes to nazis. You have no right to the cultures, gods and religions you hijack to spread your disgusting ideologies. You will find no refuge or comraderie amongst pagans.

Reblog to let nazis know they’re not welcome here.

The Gods love you.

Even when you spend days without lighting up their candles.

Even if you don't have an Altar.

Even if you don't feel their presence yet.

Even if you're not good at tarot.

Or doesn't have prophetic dreams.

They still love you. And you know why?

Because you're you. And that's enough for them, your presence, your devotion, your well-being, is what truly matters for them.

So don't you feel pressured or sad, lovebug 💜💜

Tis the season.

So when I first came out of the broom closet It was because this friend of mine was so vocally open about how they were a witch. (He also helped me come out as trans but that's a story for a different day.) We never really became the closet of friends but I have always carried the parts of him that he gave me with me. In honor of the season and my friend Toby here is a self love hot coco.

Ingredients:

You're favorite hot coco. Whatever mix or homemade recipe you want or whichever one that makes you feel the most joy.

Whipped cream of choice

cinnamon

Step one: You make you hot coco how you normally wood. This time however you think about all the warm and comfy memories hot coco can bring you. Think about those nice feelings carrying over into the rest of your life.

Step two: Pour the drink into any cup really. If you want to add some color magic then I'd pink a red or pink one.

Step Three: If you like cinnamon this is where you can add some to the coco. While adding this I would think about the abundance of love I have in my life for/from my husband, my dog, and my bestfriend.

Step four: Add whip cream on top to add some sweetness to your life.

Step five: Using more of the cinnamon make a heart shaped ring around the cup and have it rest in that "circle" when not actively drinking from it.

While it mostly depends on my mood I usually dispose of cinnamon heart by collecting it and then using it like a soap to wash my hands to promote abundance.

Psst, hey. Hey. Before you go blaming your bad mood on negative spirits or needing to smoke cleanse, consider: when was the last time you deep cleaned your home?

Be silly sometimes

I was at my local book store for some new reading material and saw "Metaphysical AF" by Maggie Wilson and it got me thinking. So much I had to buy a copy.

But it got me thinking about how serious people have started taking the craft. I say this as someone who suffered from this in the being myself. Some time cleansing your space is just lighting a incense opening the door a blaring some music that makes you feel strong or shake your ass. Sometimes your glamour is just looking in the mirror and reminding yourself you are beautiful. Sometimes you write down someone's name, ball up the paper and throw it around to get someone to leave you alone.

The universe can be very serious but it can be just as silly as you
