TAKE THIS FOR PROTECTION...

(I made a discord emoji of Apollon because why not? Also, YES you can use it for your own server! Hopefully, Apollon doesn't mind me drawing him like this, hshshs)

something i’ve noticed is that most of my deities like sending me signs (cats, butterflies, flowers, smells, etc.) but Apollo likes leaving me little gifts. guitar picks have been a recurring theme with him (i pick them up and put them on his altar) and he’s quite loud when he wants to be noticed

Burned incense for Apollo outside (I cannot burn anything in my room due to my pets, including scentless or wax)

Apollo devotees constantly being amazed by how quick he helps with the pain

Tensely getting vaccinated as a devotional act to Hermes (mild fear of needles)

Update: the nurse had bead bracelets and a crystal necklace and black nail polish and we chatted and they were so cool

Update 2: I fucked up and didn’t realize there were multiple, I only saw the sign ups for flu, so gotta go for round two 🤡

Update 3: not a moment after, “let the sun shine” started playing over the radio, I think Apollon is here w me tryna encourage me to go back and get the others. I am bud, lemme eat dinner first <3

hey folks, can anyone gimme a bit of help?? I’ve been seeing a lot of stuff about Lucifer on here, and feeling a bit of a pull to work with him for a little while now. I’ve had a really hard time with researching him lately because of how much is about pop culture (characters, shows, books, literally everything), Christians essentially saying that Lucifer is gonna kill everything and you should avoid him and the gays who serve him, or, like, deity/biblical fanfic? If you currently work with Lucifer or have in the past, could you help me out with some information about him? UPGs, signs, associations, stories, history, advice for working with him, reliable sources for research on him, etc would all be super helpful! Also, Loki is my patron deity, so does anyone know if they don’t really get along? Loki seemed pretty excited about that idea when I talked to him about it, but idk lol

ex-Christian pagan culture is saying “oh my god” without ever meaning it toward your deity whatsoever—you’ve just gotten in the habit of saying it and have yet to break it.

Heyy I have some questions about divination with deities if that's okay :)

How do you properly ask them to be present??, also how do you know they are there and that they are the deity you are calling and not other presence?? And the last one, how do you respectfully thank them and say goodbye?

If you have other tips or recommendations I'd like to know too

Thank you!!

Hi there!! What a good question :D I always love getting questions about deities!

To call a deity into your space, there are a few methods you can do. Here is mine:

1. Light a candle, or find something to represent the deity. This could be a photo, a figurine, a rock; anything that reminds you of them, really. This can help "visualize" the deity more!

2. Talk to them. Say something like, "(deity name), I would like for you to come into my space so that I can talk to you about (insert issue, question topic, or general topic). Thank you."

3. Vet the deity. Ask them questions about their mythology, symbolism, and associations. This helps when you're figuring out if the right deity has arrived.

4. Have your conversation, reading, offerings, etc. Whatever it is you contacted them for, now is the time to discuss it.

5. To end your session, blow out your candle or set aside the thing used to represent them. I say something like, "thank you for being here. You can stay if you'd like, or you can go, but I will be focusing on other activities for now."

I hope this helps!!! I'm sorry for the relatively short response, I'm pretty tired lol

Do you have any offering/altar ideas or suggestions for hypnos? I just started His physical altar! 🩵

Here’s what my altar looks like! A major Hypnos symbol is known to be Flowers, the bowl I have is full of them and they’re easy to find in now spring time. I also leave lavender soaps and perfumes that I use as devotion to Him. I also put shiny rocks or dice that remind me of Him in some sort of way. theres also poems and art and prayers in here, and tea bags I use for devotional tea :)! Honestly anything you feel is right can be put on an Altar :)
