Hermes & Aphrodite Reading Confirmation

I decided to put up my tarot deck since I just went to the bookstore and bought a little guide on how to learn tarot more efficiently. At first, I thought it was Zeus or Ares reaching out. But it turns out to be Hermes & Aphrodite! They want to work with me! I also used my pendulum to confirm if it was them.

I am not working with Athena or Ares, as previously mentioned. Now, I will be working with Aphrodite & Hermes. Please feel free to send in some advice, especially if you work with either one. I would always appreciate any advice and tips.

Working with Jesus & Satan at the same time?

I've been interested in seeing if this very question would work. Satan is my patron deity, but I have Jesus incorporated into my practice. Of course, I would have their altars separated but I find Jesus isn't opposed to Satan. In my opinion. I wonder if this is truly a thing? A power of balance and the acceptance of both being right in their own ways.

Is there a name to this sort of taboo or foreign rare practice? The work with Jesus and Satan together.

[lovewardeath]

Long time no see,

I’ve incorporated Jesus back into my practice, it has been nothing but incredibly peaceful. I’ll be honest, I haven’t reached out to Athena or Ares, I’ve been so busy with getting my testosterone gel, university and my mental health.

I’ve also been looking into Judaism, just learning about how they practice their faith and what they exactly believe in. I have not reached out to my patron deity, Satan, we both decided it still isn’t the time to work with each other again.

Anyway, I just wanted to give a quick update!

[lovewardeath]

I got a Deity reading done the other day and I received:

Goddesses

- Venus

- Gaia

- Demeter

- Isis

- Freyja

lol I thought Freyja & I were done with work but I guess not. Anyway I would’ve never thought Gaia or Demeter would reach out. I had the sense that Isis and Venus (Aphrodite) would as they came through my personal readings.

[lovewardeath]

I really want to incorporate Jesus into my practice, but I haven’t seen much information to see if that’s cool to do while being a Hellenist.

Hey everyone!

It’s been a moment, I am currently working on start HRT, my consult is next Tuesday and I just went to go see one of my favorite bands in my state. A lot has been going on, I’ve continued my research into Hellenismos, written down deities that I feel called towards.

So, a lot has been going on, but thank Athena for guiding me through this new path in my life. I will be back soon!

[lovewardeath]

I’ve been doing research into working with Athena, I am beyond excited to start. I haven’t had the time to actually put her altar up, etc. So this is a little devotional post to her!

[lovewardeath]

Thank you all who gave me such great resources, I’ve spent my whole day writing notes about Hellenism. I’ve watched Fel The Blithe’s YouTube videos, as well scoured on Theoi, checked out some books to buy, etc. I am really enjoying and excited about this journey of becoming a Hellenic Pagan. I appreciate it so much!!

[lovewardeath]

I’ve been dwelling deep into Hellenism, learning about the deities of the beautiful path. I feel a calling towards Hekate, Ares & Athena. I also want to further educate myself on the primordial deities. Any tips on getting really involved with Hellenism?

[lovewardeath]

As someone who has always been fascinated by the sky, stars and planets, I’ve become more accustomed to look up at the sky more. Cloud watching and observing the constellations gives me a sense of peace and awe. Space is so vast and so incredibly expansive. For a pagan like me, especially an animist, the sky is a living soul just like the stars. ✨

[lovewardeath]

Is there anyone who wears a face veil and is a pagan, witch, occultist, etc etc? I would loveee to chat!! I use veil back when I was Christian a few years ago and I’m interested in doing it again but now as a Pagan.

[lovewardeath]

I’ve kind of stepped away from Norse paganism, not for bad reasons or anything. But, a lot of changes in my life, and I just don’t think I’m ready to fully devote myself to one path. My partner is a Norse pagan, so he is always educating more about it.

Finding myself alongside Satanism as well as Luciferianism has been more in my radar. But even then, I took a step back, and as I’m growing towards my mid 20s, I’ve been keeping an open mind.

Unfortunately, I live in a small town and majority of the Spiritual people around here are the kind to appropriate other’s beliefs and cultures. Overall very disrespectful, so it’s hard to find people who are not like that.

Anyway, that’s just a little rant.

Quick Update

I am still a Spiritual Satanist, I am still a Pagan, I am still a Witch. I work among the darker arts now.

I’m not specifically in a certain pagan path, rather I’m just researching and studying many practices. I do find myself drawn to Heathenry as well as Kemeticism.

But as always, I always update my current practices and beliefs in my pinned post, so check there if you are ever confused or just unsure.

Current altar

[lovewardeath]

Yes you can love Satan and Jesus both, at the same time, at the same amount. It’s okay!

I love Jesus and Satan! Jesus is like a brother to me and Satan is like a father to me.

10 little subtle ways and things you could be doing that are witchy!

(esp if you're still in the broom closet) ❤️🦊

1. virtual and online altars

pinterest boards dedicated to your gods/goddesses; quotes and aesthetics.

tumblr dedication blogs.

social media page with your witchy alias.

discord server, a private place to organise channels and create categories for what you want, i.e., spellwork, candle magick, crystal associations, etc.

music playlists, for both manifesting and connecting with your deities, they love coming through music.

2. journal/book altars

similar to the idea of a book of shadows, this will be personal writings and thoughts for specific deities.

you can customise it and decorate it much like a physical altar! i.e., stickers, washi tapes, markers, sparkles.

custom spreads for whomever you work with, you can put prayers you've written for them, words you want to convey, and express.

3. the wooden box altar, also known as a travelling altar

a place to put all your trinkets and necessities.

if you're unable to have a physical space, having one that's portable will help you take your altar wherever you go.

you can carve/paint the box to be more personal for you, or to be ultra discreet about it you can just customise the inner part so it doesn't stick out to people you don't want knowing yet.

4. origami shapes

for manifesting, write out what you would like and fold it into a star to carry out the manifestation.

use the idea of symbolism to embed your intentions, for luck, a four leaf clover. for allowing new opportunities to find you and let go, a butterfly, to succeed in something you could make a bird; "soaring to new heights."

you could also use this time to connect with your deities, just being with them in the moment.

5. financial abundance

if you can't blow cinnamon on the first day of the new month, put a dash of it in your morning coffee or tea first thing.

use of coins in the soil of your plants welcomes in prosperity.

likewise with coins, frogs are symbolic of wealth.

a bay leaf where you keep your wallet/purse, the exchange of the money you give out you will receive back with a little extra.

6. kitchen magick/green witchery

add spices/herbs to help achieve something you want i.e.,

pancakes with vanilla and honey to bring in loving and warm energy.

adding pepper/salt/basil/rosemary to encourage protection.

for clarity and insight, chamomile tea.

to have peaceful and calm resolve, lemonade with fresh mint leaves.

7. clothing and jewellery

wearing items of clothing or jewellery in honour of your deities, i.e.

rings, bracelets, and necklaces that symbolise something of them for you.

shirts with quotes you feel resemble them; colour associations work plenty.

if you crochet or make your own items of clothing, knot magick or sewing in a symbol that means something for you can help you feel confident when wearing it.

8. self-care can be devotional

doing things that make you happy whilst doing it in honour of your deities allows them to be present in your simple joys.

writing, poetry, reading; feeling called to read something because it holds a message for you.

indulging a show or something you watched in your childhood years, deities take pleasure in watching something that means alot to you and will be grateful to share that moment.

treats and specific cravings, i.e., little upg, but loki loves sweet pastries.

taking a walk about in nature gives your deities more room to show you the beauty of the world. take them to your favourite bench, to your favourite coffee shop.

knot magick, if you crochet, make something in honour of your gods/goddesses. they will ensure it brings you comfort when you hold it.

painting your nails, you can charge your nail polish beneath the moon or mix in a little moon water to be energised and intuitively connected.

9. cleansing and clearing of old energy

water

will help the bad flow out and let the good flow in.

showers/baths are good for self-cleansing.

holding a glass of water before drinking it and wish your intentions.

crying, allowing yourself to feel what it is you're trying to process in order for it to be released. can't release something you haven't finished going through yet.

moon water, I recommend this during a new moon as that's more symbolic to starting anew, planting seeds and encouragement toward growth.

sun water, can help with energising you and bringing in positive energy, also a confidence boost.

earth

holding onto a crystal for a few moments, just breathing in and out.

crystals can be used for cleansing, smoky quartz, clear quartz. there is a crystal for all your needs.

plants! plants are great for protection and for taking in bad energy. they will listen to what you have to say, and will love you as much as you love them.

food, especially grown from the earth can help you feel refreshed and buzzing with energy.

fire

burning, writing out your hardships, struggles, anger and burning them (safely please).

lighting a candle while you work on something, very therapeutic, and you can visualise the bad energy being burnt out and released.

incense, the smoke is a natural cleanser and will do wonders. you aren't restricted to using sage to cleanse; others you could use are myrrh, sandalwood, lavender, or cedar. it's completely up to what your preferences are.

air

breathing in and out during meditation, as you take in some air and release it, upon release visualise what you're letting go of.

bells, the frequency of dinging bells helps to disperse bad energy.

sound cleansing through soft music, and intentional frequencies. you'll find alot of these up on youtube.

10. divination methods (aside from tarot/pendulums that i know of)

clouds, observing what you see and the shapes you recognise, what you need to know will be reflected in nature.

ceromancy, candle wax, burning a candle after asking for some clarity or an answer and having the wax form a shape for you to interpret.

numerology, angel numbers, and the significance of the numbers.

automatic writing, done in your personal journal, it's unconscious writing that can help channel messages you may need.

bibliomancy, randomly selecting a passage or words from a book.

capnomancy, the use of smoke from candles or incense, and reading the shapes and forms casted by the smoke

conchomancy, divination through seashells, shapes, and the type of shell.

casting a set of charms on a cloth and divinating the meaning of where they landed.

tw: offensive theory on Christianity?

I believe Jesus was backstabbed by God, I mean I know people believe Jesus is God, but for me, Jesus is his own God.

Jesus was betrayed by his Father on the cross, I mean, the man literally asks, “Father, why have you forsaken me?”… I mean come on.

Didn’t God tell Jesus what his “purpose” was for coming to Earth?

I believe Jesus deserved way better and many people believe the New Testament God as the Good one, the Benevolent one, but he literally gave his child up to be killed for sins that Jesus had nothing to do with.

Because God couldn’t interact with sin, my dude, you created everything, you created evil & sin. How can you not interact with the very thing you created? And if God is All-Knowing, then he knew the Devil was gonna lure Adam & Eve, but he didn’t stop them, even though he knew they were going to fall for it.

God is evil, as he is the one who created it. If many believe the Devil is just a fallen angel, then the Devil is not powerful enough to create sin, he’s just a fallen Angel. Not only that, but majority of the Angels are jealous of us because they can’t marry, have children etc. If they do, they have free will to become fallen, which is just dumb.

I have more opinions on this, but I’m headed to work so if y’all wanna know more, just let me know. Also let me know your opinions.
