Having a relationship with the gods feels like making your room ice cold and snuggling into all your blankets. Exposed to the outside, you are freezing, uncomfortable, unable to rest. But within the safety of the blankets you have never been more comfortable and content. In the back of your mind you know you can’t always be wrapped up in your blankets. That in the morning, you will need to leave and face the world. But just as we need sleep, we will always eventually return to their embrace, and when you do, for a moment, you don’t care about morn’ or anything outside, and you are finally present just before you take their hands and allow yourself to slip away.

I just hope that no matter how many times this world tries to harden me and turn me into a cold person, I hope I remain soft. May I still be compassionate. May I still be full of love. May I still be soft and sees hope in everything. And to never become something that once broke me.

Kharis

When shadows fall and burdens bind, And strength within our hearts we can't find, Let's not to deities raise our plea, But turn to each other, humanity.

In gentle hands and empathetic eyes, A love that lifts and a spirit that flies. We are the solace, the balm, and the light, Together we rise, in Kharis' own might.

But death is universal. Even gods cannot protect the people that they love, when fate and cruel death catch up with them

Me when I add literally anything to my altar:

[lillysilvermoon]

worship evolves with time. yes, the people who worshipped the gods back in the day had specific offerings to be given. but what is stopping you from giving modern offerings? things around your house? offerings shouldn't have to cost you a fortune. your deities aren't holding you at gunpoint to only receive what you can't easily get. they are a means of showing your love in your day-to-day. so yes!! give your deities candy bars! show them a silly little doodle of them in the corner of your notebook!! make a spotify playlist and play it for them!! dedicate a journal to them!! make a pinterest board and fill it with pins that remind you of them!! the important aspect of these offerings is that you are thinking about your deities. thinking about them and feeling love and devotion to them is a means of offering! you are devoting your energy in these acts!!

*me in phone*

Hades: GET OUT of this damm phone!

Me: *shook get up quickly and sit* is this... is you??.

Hades: YES its me!

Me: ... r u sur- *get HUGE goosebumps* okay. It's you.

Hades: you spend much time with this light on your face and that's why u r not thinking right (context: I've been away too much on my phone and I complained about it but I still working it, and the fact that I use too much it's actually affecting my vision lol). Get up, take your shower, and just BE. Just breath. Just stay present. No information (read), no phone, no stimulation. Just be. (Context: I have anxiety and problems to concentrate and sometimes- a lot more that I wish it was - I do things completely automatic i don't even register that I did lol, and be so long on my phone, on social media has been affecting me very negatively and I know that and He knows that too and that's why he was kind mad)

Me: okay. And I agree, I actually don't want to be in my phone even though that I continue but... can I write.. this? *sad face* please?

Hades: ... yes. But put the phone away.

Me: okay🥰😚😊

STORY TIME: Hades Protected me :) Hi everyone, I hope yall are doing well, I went trough a LOT in uni, and maybe I'll come here to tell you about that (becausa was awful BUT a very good lesson that I was really needing). Butfor context: I was in a group in uni and they started to make jokes that, in the beginning, was fun. But then, they started to not sound as jokes anymore… like they meant it, for real. I left (a lot of problems and drama in between) and one of those girls were… I have no idea how to describe it, she looked to me with awful energy, I dont know if she was mad or envy(I feel ridiculous saying this because and dont think anyone should feel envious of me for whatever reason lol) but here what happened: after days of went to class and almost have panick attacks because of this, the feeling of her energy , this week when in class I asked Hades "please if this energy is from her, block this, protect me, and if its mine and I dont know, please protect from my own fears and thoughts"… GUYS was literally INSTANTLY, the energy? gone. The anxiety? gone. And yesterday, when I came and was just me and J in class and she came, NOTHING. I cant tell yall enought how AWFUL was, really I had never gone trought something like this, like, someone directly sending a energy like this and I feel it… when it disapeard the sensation was so strong that I was protect, like was a wall around me that I put my arms side to see if would pass LMAOOOOOO of course it would but you get me, right??? the sensation was so strong that I was like "well, let me just see it…. u know??" I thanked him so much, I really felt safe and protect ike, I cant even explain. ps: sorry if there is a lot written wrong, Im getting ready to go to uni but I really wanted to tell yall this

I feel so happy and so so grateful right now. I can't express in words how happy I am, you know when you feel like you could explode of how happy you are? That's me. I am starting a whole new chapter I'm my practice, it's very clear to me me that the path I was supposed to walk ended and now a new one is starting, and I'm so thankful because I learned so much - and I will learn even more in the future - and... I just have this hunger for knowledge, and to really just know. About everything.

I'm happy that my deities are here, I'm happy new arrived here - hello Apollo and dragons 🫶🏻 - and... I'm grateful, I prayed and was asked and I have so many things to share here, places I went I'm the astral that I want to tell, things I learned and I think will be helpful.

But this is all to say: thank you, Hades, Nyx, Selene, Apollo and dragons. For be here, for help me, for teaching me. I truly love you all. Thank you, so much.

And sometimes you will light a candle, before you sleep, super tired and just ask. No big ritual, just a simple wish and a candle, and in the next days you wil receive what you prayed for.

Sometimes you will do super big research about this deity or entity and feel like you just cant connect with them, and one day, when you arent expecting and trying so hard, they will appear.

Sometimes you will have powerful moments that aren't signs and don't turn into anything.

Sometimes you'll encounter a hard "NO" and there won't be a way to turn it into a yes.

Sometimes you'll be very interested in a specific practice or method, you try it, and it just never really clicks the way you want it to.

Sometimes you'll click with a practice and can't find a community around it, or dislike who you do find.

Sometimes there aren't easy-digestible online resources for that thing you're curious about, and the only way to learn more is really digging to find old, dense books and scholarly papers.

Sometimes there's barely any information online and you'll have to do research "around" the subject and fill in the blanks yourself.

Sometimes you'll do a huge ritual and just not feel it like you'd hoped, or you don't get the results you wanted.

And that's all fine, that's life. That's normal. People love to talk online about the big powerful moments and the success stories because the everyday boring stuff or mildly disappointing stuff isn't very interesting to talk about. It's normal for your practice to not look as "exciting" as theirs because you see how the sausage gets made for your own but not theirs!

I made a post a time ago about a thing on tiktok that >I< dont agree with, because not the act itself was wrong, but put this act as a rule, for me, was. Man....... so many people was misunderstanding the post that I just muted and never looked anymore.

Learning to delete/mute/block before a negative comment takes root in your mind is a modern survival skill. If you're going to wander the overgrown countryside of the internet, you need to develop a quick eye for ticks.

It's deeply tempting to respond to the "well, actually," to the cruel assumption, to the unjust accusation, to the odious viewpoint. It's tempting because you're defaulting to the etiquette of dinner conversation. This isn't a dinner conversation. Someone is shouting at you from a moving car. Turn away.

Find a way to make your space cozy. To feel more at home at home. Buy some string lights, a fuzzy blanket, a bedtime lamp that changes colors. Make yourself a cappuccino in the morning in a cozy spot. Do a face mask, put on your favourite slippers. You don't even have to soend money: Rearrange your furniture, put your favourite hoodie and your pillow into the dryer for 5 minutes, change your bedding. There is so much comfort to be found at home.
