"Aphrodite loves terfs" do you really think a goddess of love formed from a literal penis and the mother of Hermaphroditus, an intersex god who was associated with androgyny and feminine men, fucks around with transphobia?

she is a literal trans icon and to deny that will get you smited by all the gods

Ways to honor Hestia this holiday season:

First of all, I firmly believe that Hestia wants you to put your health and happiness first. If any of these don’t fit with your life/are things that will make you unhappy, simply don’t do them! For example, not all of us were born into loving families, or have time/money to donate. I just hope this will inspire you to find your own ways to feel more connected to Hestia if you so chose this holiday season <3

Friends/Family (the loved ones in your life):

Bake together. 

Have a potluck/feast where everyone brings what they have and you create a meal together.

Have a harvest feast filled with local goods and produce. Support local businesses and your loved ones at the same time!

Spend a day crafting together.

Gift homemade/handcrafted items instead of store bought. 

Do a gift exchange - add limitations/themes that feel good and genuine!

Give gifts to the people you love not because of social obligations but because you were thinking of them!

Day-to-day life when you’re out and about:

Pay for someone else’s coffee.

Find someplace cozy and sit there, enjoying the moment. 

Leave bigger tips than usual - especially during the holiday rush.

Hold the door open for somebody.

Buy some flowers and give them to people who look like they could use a smile (yourself included!)

Help people with their groceries/bags (but be safe about it and use common sense).

Practice kindness and patience while driving. 

Compliment others.

Day-to-day life at home + what to do on your own:

Go to bed earlier than usual.

Make yourself a cuppa and take the time to savor it.

Make a hearth fire or light a candle.

Bake yourself something yummy.

Take advantage of the seasonal decor and use it to decorate your altar.

Cuddle up under some blankets and enjoy some cheesy, heart-warming movies.

Take up knitting or crocheting. 

Tidy up your home/living space.

Turn of all the lights before bed and spend some time in candle light. 

Ways to help others (not already listed):

Donate toys or other gift-able items.

Participate in a food drive. 

Offer to sponsor a kid for their holiday (small gifts and maybe a bigger one).

Send cards/post cards to seniors or sick children.

Write thank you notes and leave baked goods/sweets for trash collectors, mail carriers, and other people who’s work you often take for granted.

Ask homeless people if they need any food or layers as the weather gets colder.

Volunteer at a soup kitchen or somewhere similar.

I’ve found that the spirit of this season (thankfulness and caring) makes me feel closer to Her and I enjoy devoting acts to Her, creating Her altar and praying to Her during the cold winter months.

But, most importantly, do whatever makes you feel content, kind, happy, and closer to Her <3 I’d love to hear your ideas!

i will always find my way back to health

I think you learn that you’re a witch in the way that you learn that you’re an artist, a baker, or a writer, etc.

One day something makes you wanna try it out. Then something clicks and you’re like “yeah, yeah this feels right.”

No on is born a witch just as no one is born an artist, a baker, or a writer.

ANTI-CAPITALIST AFFIRMATIONS

i am allowed to spend my time creating things, even if they are not beautiful.

there is no such thing as a "real job." all forms of work are real and valid.

there is nothing that i need to accomplish to be worthy. i am already worthy.

doing nothing is good for my soul.

i am not defined by what i produce.

my worth cannot be measured by my paycheck, my job title, or a list of professional or academic achievements.

i do not need to monetize my hobbies, it is enough to spend time doing something i love.

i will not let society decide what success looks like. i can define what successful life looks like for me.

Your Deities love you even when you do nothing to honor them.

Your Deities love you even when you don’t have the energy to tend to your altar, offer, or pray.

Your Deities love you even when you aren’t proficient in whatever skill they’re the God of.

Your Deities love you even when all you can do is spend your day in bed.

Your Deities love you even when your prayers don’t seem to make much sense.

Your Deities love you even when you’re unable to worship them the same way others might do.

Your Deities love you even when you feel like you don’t deserve their love.

You don’t need to be productive to be adored.

Your Deities love you just because you exist.

If you're starting to feel out of sorts and feel like 'reality is shifting' or 'moving through energies' or anything similar please first check in with your body for example:

If you need to take meds, have you taken them?

Are you currently in mental distress in any form? Even if it's on a small scale?

Are you currently feeling ill?

Are you sleep deprived?

Are you eating enough?

Have you been drinking enough? (If you're in a warm environment pure water might not be enough and you might be in need of electrolytes)

Is the environment you are in physically comfortable/safe? (eg. temperature, air quality, mold, carbon monoxide, gas)

PILE 1 -

Hi, Pile 1! Let's get started, ok? A part of your life needs some serious TLC.

There's something new in your life that demands your attention. You might not even be aware of it yet. This could be an old flame that needs a bit of rekindling or a new "love" that's seemingly fallen from the Heavens. It's not necessarily romantic, though.

Look at what's happening in your life: what's new? What's been neglected? What might you have missed in the last couple of weeks?

You'll instantly feel more complete and fulfilled once you find that special thing and give it the attention it needs. It could be a person, an old passion, a job, or a relationship: if you've been hesitating, this is your sign to kick things into gear. Go for it. Pour your love and attention into this one single thing.

The last couple of months have been testing you; this month will be your last test before you catch a break. You've been able to stand tall after countless trials and tribulations: the fight is almost over. Use that newly (re)lit flame in your life to guide you through your last battle. It's almost time for you to reap the fruits of your labor.

💬 Shadow Message: What you see is not all that's there. It will never be enough if you look for emotional and spiritual satisfaction in your material things; those things will never quite scratch your itch. Your skills, cleverness, and interests are your greatest weapons, aides, and guides.

🧡🧡 Message from Marie: There's an opportunity in your life (romantic, platonic, financial, etc.) that needs your attention. Reevaluate what's happening around you, and don't be afraid to jump in.

PILE 2 -

It's great to see you, Pile 2! Are you ready?

Life has been pretty hectic for you recently. There have been so many moving parts; you might feel burnt out, overwhelmed, or even a little hopeless. Amongst all the chaos of life, people have been abusing your kindness and overstepping their authority.

It's time you reevaluate, set firm boundaries, and cut off those who don't have your best interest in mind.

Never forget that you are capable of amazing things. No one likes making tough decisions- cutting off people, abandoning a project, etc.- but you are powerful enough to do all that and more. In the short term, things will be rough. But before you know it, you'll be able to reflect on your choices and be proud of yourself and your achievements.

You deserve and are worthy of the finer things in life. Don't let people disrespect your authority and autonomy. And most importantly, treat yourself with the respect and dignity you expect from others. Don't accept bullshit from anyone, and happiness will soon follow.

💬 Shadow Message: Be honest with yourself. Don't try to talk yourself into feelings you think you should have, or onto a path that others find more socially acceptable. If your philosophy clashes with your honest feelings then your philosophy needs to evolve. If your lifestyle is not in line with your philosophy then one or both need to change. It's ok to let go of the things that hold you back. You're a unique individual in the best possible way.

🧡🧡 Message from Marie: People have been taking advantage of your kindness. It's time to set some boundaries and stand up for yourself. You need to be more honest. It's not selfish to prioritize yourself and your (physical, mental, and/or spiritual) well-being.

PILE 3 -

I hope you didn't do a lot of scrolling to get here. Let's get started, Pile 3!

Tensions are finally dying down. You might've been dealing with rocky relationships, an overwhelming workload, or an unusual amount of stressors in your everyday life. You've officially made it to the other side; that era of high-tension chaos is behind you.

Embrace this time of calmness and momentary quietness. You can finally have a much needed conversation with yourself. It's likely the first in a long time.

It can be a bit scary to truly and deeply reflect on yourself. It's like facing the monsters that go 'bump' at night--you don't know what to expect. Feeling anxious and scared is entirely valid. Acknowledge those feelings and sit with them. What are you anxious about? What's making you feel scared? Consider that as your first conversation with your inner self.

You have a lot of feelings that have been dying to scream out. And now, you are strong enough to listen.

💬 Shadow Message: Think bigger. You have been hyper-fixated on something pretty insignificant in the big picture. It's time to widen your perspective. The things around you have significantly changed. It's ok to reflect on the past, but let those memories guide you forward rather than weigh you down. It's time you move onward to bigger and better things.

🧡🧡 Message from Marie: It's time to have a challenging discussion about the feelings you've been ignoring. You've made it out of the battlefield, and now it's time you check yourself for any wounds.

SUPER Low Energy Witchcraft

I’ve been seeing a lot of low energy witchcraft posts, but every one I read isn’t really low energy. When I think ‘low energy,’ I think something I can do on my lowest of low days. Days I can’t get out of bed or even think sometimes. So here it is. The SUPER Low Energy Witchcraft Guide.

Sigils sites. I have found this one to be very good. They’ll make a sigil for you so you don’t have to.

Pinterest boards. Making spells or manifesting using Pinterest boards is one of my favorite things to do.

Spotify playlists. Similar to the Pinterest board idea, use songs to create spells or manifest certain things.

Emoji spells. Use emojis to make spells, making sure they’re packed with intent.

Hang out with your tarot deck. Or any divination tool, for that matter. Just having it near you counts.

Talking to spirits and deities. Tell them about something you plan to do for them, a ritual you’d like help with, ask for help getting through the lows, etc. Or just talk to them. It doesn’t matter about what, talking improves relationships.

Read. Read books you were planning on reading. Definitely do not ever go on Z-Library for free books. Never. You do have limits on downloading and it’s relatively hard to figure out on mobile, but if you can get your tablet or computer up and running it’ll work perfectly.

Scroll through Tumblr. Or Reddit. Or Pinterest. Or even Tik Tok. Scroll through the witch tags, scroll through the tags of and deities you might worship/work with. Or just look at pretty plants. Think about what they can help you with.

Make a shopping list. If you need to restock any herbs or candles, note it down.

Just light a candle or two. Simple as that.

Make a pouch or enchant a piece of jewelry or whatever you want to do to help you recover from your lows before they happen. Touch them or hold them or even just think of them when you want.

Similar to above, enchant any aids (mobility aids, medication, pain relievers, heating pads and ice packs, etc.) to help you recover faster.

If you can, think about your practice, what you want to change, what you 100% wouldn’t change, how it relates to others’ crafts, etc.

Meditate. I’m not talking about some 30 minute guided meditation sitting upright, because I have trouble with them on my lows. I’m talking about staring blankly into space or practicing mindfulness or something like that. You don’t have to do it for long, either. Take a few minutes to chill.

If you can, open your windows. Or curtains. Or blinds. Let it clear out your space.

Enchant your water or foods to help with your symptoms. Draw a sigil with anything (oil, sharpie, air, etc.) on your bottles and above your food to aid in your recovery.

Wash your face and/or hands to cleanse yourself for the day.

Have a ‘worry stone.’ Take a crystal or rock or other stone and rub it when you’re anxious. Or, enchant it to remove negative energies and rub it when your pain is at the worst. The very least it will do is distract you.

Simply rest. Resting and taking some time to recover is the best practice.

Obviously this isn’t a large list, but I cannot emphasize the ‘simply rest’ part enough. As practitioners, we tend to want to do more when we’re sitting bored in bed. But remember, safety first. The quicker you recover, the quicker you can get back to your craft.
