An experience, and an idea of sorts.
We all know the act of pouring a libation for a deity, surely. But, there is something that feels so personal about sharing a drink with your deity/deities and just...chatting. I had some cream soda I wanted to share with my two patrons. I cleansed myself, my arms and my face especially, grabbed a small glass and a few ice cubes. Then, grabbed the bottle of soda and quickly ran up to my room. I approached their altar, spoke my usual greeting and stated my intentions before pouring all of our drinks (gods first, of course) and then took a seat on the ground. Then I just...talked. I talked my absolute head off. My cold drink in hand, occasionally stopping to take a sip or two, then going right back to it. My faith had dwindled for awhile after I got severely overwhelmed and burnt out, so this was my first time praying within a week. I talked about everything. How I was feeling, what led to the burnout, my latest experiences, my thoughts on everything and even dove down into some childhood memories regarding my patrons and how I felt they were always there for me even when I didn't know what Hellenism was. For the first time in what felt like ages, my mind was just completely empty. Not a single thought, none. All I knew is that I was just talking, pouring my heart and feelings out, and sooner or later emotionally going on about how beautiful all of this was to me, and my love for my patrons. Once I had finished my drink, at the same time I just about ran out of things to say. I set my glass down, stated that I had nothing more to say and took their cups to the bathroom sink. I graciously thanked them both for the time they gave to me as I poured out the drinks, for allowing me to talk so freely, and proceeded to tell them I love them and farewell for now before cleaning the cups. That was undeniably the most positive experience I've ever had while praying, truly. It felt so incredibly good, almost cathartic in a way. All I know is that I am incredibly grateful for my deities and came out of prayer feeling overwhelmed with joy, warmth and euphoria. Now, I'm incredibly relaxed, and dare I say sleepy. Hail Father Zeus, and Hail Lord Poseidon. ♡

I am also lokean and I consider myself to still be a baby witch, it is absolutely so hard to find good sources and supportive community. A lot of people are stuck on the post-christian narratives of very black-and-white thinking despite being pagan, so they villainize deities and spirits that don’t neatly fit into their idea of “good”.
There’s a lokean subreddit that has a long list of reading resources, so that is something to look into. I’ve heard good things about Dr. Jackson Crawford’s work. He’s not a pagan, so he focuses on historical translations and interpretations of folklore and texts. I have read some of his translations but not a ton yet. http://jacksonwcrawford.com/
I’ve also seen some recommendations for Loki & Sigyn: Lessons on Chaos, Laughter, & Loyalty from the Norse Gods and plan on reading it myself soon.
Ultimately your practice is your own. As long as you are still practicing, then you are making progress! There’s no true “right way” to do things, do what feels right for yourself and your practice. (As long as you don’t use closed rituals/practices of course)
My altar space currently is a medium size box of valentines chocolates that I sanded down and painted. I have it filled with whatever reminds me of Loki (like crystals, rocks, or trinkets) or things I have made for them (like prayer notes, figures, and fake dandelions). I have a little dish and goblet for perishable offerings and a tray for my devotional jewelry. It took about 8 months to get it looking how it does now, and someday I hope to expand it to an end table size. There’s nothing wrong with starting small and building up, just don’t let wanting things to be done well intimidate you out of making small progressions.
You got this!
Burdens of being a Lokean
Vent post ignore me bleh
And a reach out to fellow Norse Pagans for advice
Ugh. It’s hard to practice being Pagan sometimes. Especially of the Norse variety. And most definitely especially as Lokean. Any means to get materials to practice is full of marvel content. So saturated it makes it near impossible to find what I need
Don’t get me started on how unserious people like us who practice things like Norse Paganism are treated. People treat those who practice Greek paganism more serious than us. Don’t lie, you’ve seen it
And the people who only consume marvel Norse content that try and correct you on your own religion
I just wanted to practice my beliefs in peace. I want to be able to get materials from reliable sources that have their best interest in me. Not AI money grabs. Not people selling “love spells” or just bullshit people who want easy money by taking advantage of people’s beliefs
Is there any advice on how to get reliable sellers and resources for my craft? I want to practice my belief but there’s just so little I can do. I’m a Hoosier and well. Indiana is famous for the KKK after all
Any reliable sellers? People? Just. People who take being a Lokean serious? And don’t call us devil worshippers? And just insult Mother Loki every chance they get?
I’ll never forget that time I was at a cosplay convention and the topic of religion brought up and I was told to “never trust Loki. Protect yourself. He is a liar and promises you pain and suffering-“ and just went on a rant about how wrong I was
I chose Loki because he chose me dammit!
Everyone follows their own path in life. From you believing in a god to people who don’t at all. You are deserving to practice what you feel. It’s YOUR laugh. YOUR path. Everyone has a path
Just please. Help? I want to make a proper alter and practice my beliefs
I get chaos comes with the job, but sir the winds turn eventually 😭
Sincerely yours, a baby witch that’s suffering

do u * feel comfortable showing ur altar
Sure! Because I've been practicing for so long it's pretty spread out. Personally I like to collect crystals as it is so I use them a lot for my altars.






Read the alt text for which one is which.
I also like to draw a lot so that's the other part that's all over the walls. Each of the pendulums too is for a different deity!

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.

I’ve been seeing a lot of posts around social media talking about people hearing the call of Hekate, The Morrigan, and Lilith.
I’m not here to dissuade any of that, just want to remind my fellow pagans and witches that there are a plethora of other deities you can work with in regards to what we’re all currently going through and anticipated to go through.
As a Hellenic Polytheist here are some of my suggestions:
Aphrodite (especially her war side, yes Aphrodite has a war side)
Ares (THE feminist of the pantheon, I will die on that hill)
Artemis (protector of women and children, killer of dickheads, a witch, and a primal goddess. Don’t sleep on her!)
Athena (THE strategist. She’s going to lead you to the path of victory)
Dionysus (THE revolutionist. Dionysus is the destroyer of empires and harbinger of change. Especially in regard to women. Their maenads are lethal to men who try to oppress and suppress them)
Eris (MY GIRL! I mean this bitch started the Trojan War with an Apple. Do I need to say more??)
Demeter (Also a witch and single handedly brought two of the 3 kings to their knees and almost destroyed the entire world because she went against the patriarchy. This is the goddess you want to fight alongside of in this battle! Stop sleeping on her!)
Hera (Arguably the most terrifying deity in the entire pantheon. Even Zeus is terrified of her. She lead the Greeks to victory in the Trojan War using her rage, spite, and power. And she can do the same for us!)
There are of course other deities especially in other pantheons. And you can absolutely and should lean on the deities you already have relationships with. This is just a suggestion in case you would like to connect with a new deity for the collective work we are preparing to do.
As always, if you have any questions about the deities I listed don’t hesitate to ask! 💖
Happy hexing and dismantling oppressive systems, my darlings! 😘

☀️Deities☀️
I see so many people criticizing others over their relationships, or lack thereof, with their deities, so here are some reminders:
Not having deities is okay.
Having just a devotional relationship with your deities is okay.
Having a working relationship with your deities is okay.
Playing games with your deities is okay.
Harmless jokes with your deities are okay.
Doing fun things with your deities is okay.
Doing devotional offerings for your deities is okay.
Giving physical offerings to your deities is okay.
Not being able to do certain offerings for deities is okay.
Having an altar for your deities is okay, no matter the size.
Not having an altar for your deities is okay.
Laughing with your deities is okay.
Crying with your deities is okay.
Having genuine conversations with your deities is okay.
Being unable to hear/see deities is okay.
Being able to hear/see deities is okay.
Not being able to communicate through divination is okay.
Using divination as a key element in communication is okay.
Not calling on deities during spellwork is okay.
Asking deities to help during spellwork is okay.
Asking deities for help in general is okay.
This is your relationship with your deities in your practice. Don't let anyone tell you what you can and can't do. 🫶
It's 2am, please forgive me if there are any mistakes!

I don’t know who needs to hear this but having doubts about your practice is totally normal and actually beneficial.
Questioning everything is intelligence.

Tips For Working With Demons

Here are some tips and general advice for working with demons and spirits. I'll probably add more to this list as things come to mind.
• These are individuals, people like you and me. Many of them have had human incarnations here on Earth. They understand your struggle and have their own issues and emotions as well. They have favorite things, best friends, family, and feelings. They are powerful, yes, but should also be treated with love and respect.
• They can and will speak to you. If you possess psychic abilities you may be able to channel some or all demons. People often ask how to tell the difference between the voice of a spirit, or an internal voice or hallucination. Spirit will never speak over you, interupt your ability to think freely, or control your mind. They simply speak, if you're willing to listen. They may also manifest physically, move objects, visit your dreams, send you signs, they have many ways to get their point across.
• Do not stress over time. If you haven't spoken to or left an offering to your patron demon in a few weeks because you've been depressed or busy, this is fine. Spirits do not experience time as we do and your absence is little more than a blink of an eye to them.
• Get creative with your offerings. King Paimon loves chocolate, Bune loves fancy perfume, Lucifer fancies himself some whiskey. You may wonder how offerings help demons, since they lack a mortal body. All physical beings possess a spirit and as such, all physical objects possess an essence. This essence can be absorbed by a spirit to allow them to taste/experience the offering. This gives them energy as well. Fun fact: once the essence of a consumable offering is taken it will be dull and tasteless. Try it sometime.
• Remember to say "thank you". Show appreciation and gratitude to any demons that lend their time and power to enhance your life. This is a team effort and no one likes to be used. Friendship and growth should be your top priorities when working with spiritual entities.
• Go ahead and draw that sigil badly. It's ok to only give a tiny drop of blood. Demons are far from perfect and do not expect perfection from you. Your effort and intention is what matters most.
• Stay away from Solomonic or Abrahamic methods that aim to control or trap demons. This is not likely to end well for you and it is a huge betrayal to the trust of a powerful cosmic being. If you are afraid of the interaction, there are many other forms of personal protection you can employ.
• Chances are there is a demon or spirit that resonates with you. Don't get discouraged if your first several attempts don't spark a connection. Read up on different entities and mediatate to find where you should try next.
• Let go of your preconceived expectations. Demons are not going to just make you rich, successful, or smart. These things are the result of forming strong bonds of power and raising one's consciousness. Often times you won't get what you want, but what you need instead. Spirits can see the bigger picture of who we are, our capabilities, and our soul's path. Trust their vision.

What non-pagans think offerings are: bloody sacrifices in return for eternal glory.
What my offerings actually are: I found this cool rock that I thought Cernunnos might like.

THE GODS ARE NOT THEIR MYTHS —
I'd like to begin by stating that all religions have mythos. Christianity has the bible, Islam has the Quran, etc. That is to say, that most of these religions are centered in mythic literalism, as portrayed in their sacred texts.
The mythology surrounding the Gods, since we do not hold a sacred book, has been written by worshippers, for other worshippers, rather than prophets.
While myths may paint the Gods with human-like flaws, these narratives are symbolic, representing aspects of the human experience and the natural world rather than literal truth. The gods embody ideals, fears, and cultural values of ancient Greece, serving as a mirror to humanity's own complexities. In essence, the myths are not factual accounts but rather rich, allegorical tales that reveal deeper truths about existence, morality, and the cosmos, used by the ancients in order to make more sense of the divine, in their own perspective of the world.
We must also remember that whilst a lot of the subjects in these myths do include traits deemed unacceptable in our modern world, the ancients had different values and beliefs that were seen as "acceptable" or at least normative in their societies. Thus, we cannot place modern morals onto ancient writings.
Often times, people look down upon worshippers of the Gods, due to the mythology and the "horrible acts" they've committed, but this limited view embodies, again, mythic literalism, which is not present in Hellenic Mythology.
Instead, we must look outside of these myths for evidence of the Gods; both in the lives of the ancients, and in our own.
// short one today, because i could speak about this topic for ages, but i don't want to bore you all too much.
