I don't often do new moon rituals but i did just a little one last night and made an Aperol Spritz. Yes, it's in a coffee mug because I didn't feel like washing dust out of a wine glass.

Wanting to bring more optimism, happiness, and love into my life.

Hermes is the god of birds no matter how you slice it. It's a part of multiple domains of his, aside from the overall history of many birds as messengers (heralds), guides (more like aiding or showing the way/hope though), and their intelligence. There are also the sources below for this, starting with it being a part of Hermes being a Master of Animals, those we rely on and those that are wild:

I love when witches in games do actual witchcraft!

The new League Of Legends champion; Aurora has an evil eye on her wand! In witchcraft they are used to protect you from evil and jealousy!

-

I've also been playing a lot of DBD recently and have fallen in love with Sable Ward.

Both Sable and her (girl)friend Mikaela are stated to be practicing witches. It's not something that's judged either! It's a central part of their stories and identities.

-

I love that witchcraft is allowed to be more mainstream nowadays. It's such an interesting practice that I love exploring and dabbling in from time to time.

Edit: The League champions team actually said it themselves!

Edit 2: The previous splash art shown wasn't the final. The final one seemed to change the design of the evil eye. At first I was sad but after reading the champion insights I think what they did was want to make real life witchcraft infused with game lore. So I can totally see this evil eye design referencing Kindred!

My Intro Post!!

Hello and welcome to my blog!! My name’s Ari, but you can call me whatever idc. I’m a girl, a minor, an Aquarius if that matters to you and I have 2 younger brothers.

I lived in Australia for lots of my childhood however moved to Spain last year. I’ve done research and while different people seem to have different definitions of the term, I identify as Hispanic as I’m quite immersed in the Spanish culture, language, etc, never plan on leaving and have been raised like a Spanish kid (my parents have wanted to live here since they were kids so they’ve been preparing us for life here since we were newborn) even though I’m genetically Australian. If you believe I don’t fit the term idc that’s your opinion but this is how I identify.

I’ve been practicing witchcraft since late 2021 and believed in the Greek gods since I was a kid (because of PJO lol). I call myself a Greek pagan witch with animist and omnist beliefs, I believe the terms Hellenism and polytheism may apply but idk enough about them to use them to describe myself.

I started working with Aphrodite 4 days into my practice cuz I’m a bit silly however I’ve gotten more consistent and comfortable with my worship over time. Now working with her is just a part of my daily life, I love all her different epithets (I think is the word) she’s just so cool. I want to start working with King Hades and Queen Persephone in the future.

I’m trying to get better at note taking cuz I often forget. This blog is for saving notes #info, #paganism, #animism and #witchcraft stuff, I’ll post stuff related to #greek mythology under its own tag if not practitioner based, all deity/entity stuff is under its own tag (eg. #aphrodite, #hermes, #odysseus, #telemachus, etc).I also post related fandom stuff here like; #hades game, #pjo, #epic the musical, etc and stuff I’m more critical of like; #anti Madeline miller, #anti lore olympus under their own tags. My posts and asks are under #stariel posts and #stariel asks, all reblogs and queued are #stariel reblogs and #q, if I add a bit of my own input to a post it goes under #stariel convos, if I’m interacting with the community/mutuals it goes under #stariel community and #fave contains well all my fav posts.

I love spirit work and when I’m more experienced I plan on working with ghosts and animal spirits though currently I’m content just talking to my plants, house, divination tools and Aphrodite. I also want to start Ancestor Work soon. I’m a big fan of baneful protection magic and glamour/love magic. I’m pretty proud of my clair senses, intuition and divination abilities, I’ve always been an empath (my definition is; good at sensing energy and emotions) so I’ve put lots of effort into improving these skills which I’m quite happy with the strength of now.

You may also see special interest junk here (I’m neurodivergent) however I’ll try keep it at a minimum and it’ll only be posted if it is related to the topics of this blog (eg. Marvel comics [that and witchy stuff are my 2 big things] and also other interests like #Hermitcraft).

I’m a nickname person, I have some of the best nicknames ever (Stariel was one and now it’s my user for everything) so now I give everyone/thing nicknames lol. Just a warning, if we become friends I’m giving you 10,000 nicknames. I’m also a yapper as you can see below, irl I’ve learned to contain and summarise my paragraphs but on tumblr I let myself go wild and add as many irrelevant details/thoughts I have so I apologise in advance for the essays.

I personally believe hugely in free speech so there’s no DNI for this blog. Everyone is welcome as long as civil discussion is maintained no blatant straw manning/mud slinging if you want to debate me or someone else here on a topic make sure to be respectful about it, thanks.

And that’s about all I have to say right now, I seriously should make intros for my other blogs. Enjoy your stay!!

Queequeg being one of the most humane depictions of a POC in classic literature is

1. Really sad because he’s also riffed with stereotypes and really harmful depictions of native peoples

2. NOT TALKED ABOUT NEARLY ENOUGH???

In a genere cursed by racism, colorism and just a lack of diversity at all, a poc MAIN character portrayed in a good light is ??!(? HISTORICALLY SIGNIFICANT AND SUCH A FASCINATING THING that just gets completely ignored in academic spaces. Like almost every essay iv seen barely acknowledges Queequeg’s contribution to the story and his existence as a character at all

Me: What if I'm wrong?

Hermes: ....

Me: What if I've been reading the cards wrong this whole time?

Hermes: ....

Me: .....Then you wouldn't be telling me to trust my intuition, would you? Therefore these thoughts are just the beginning of an anxiety spiral and should be discredited.

Hermes: There you go! See? You got there.

in hindsight it is both very funny and very predictable that the primary deity i practice/worship around has dominion over the sun because it just matches up with so many other innocuous random things that have happened to me over the course of my life

[tadpoles-and-daydreams]

Because I was just reminded of this, friendly reminder that crappy doodles are acceptable offerings (at least, in my practice, and I feel that others may find that helpful.)

I did this for Loki, mostly, but also anyone else who wanted it since most of my deities are associated with snakes. I'm not good at art- that's not self deprecation, I'm okay not being good at art, it's literally just... I'm not good at it because I don't have the time nor energy to practice more than once or twice a year when the stars are fuckin' aligned. I don't remember how long this took, but definitely longer than you think. And that's okay! It's a cute lil noodle for my deities and that's all it needs to be <3

Next installment of my Handmaidens Project is up on my Wordpress! This time it is all about Lofen & Siofen, my Old English interpretations of Lofn & Sjöfn, Goddesses of love and especially forbidden love.

I go into Their attestations in the Eddas, some of my personal UPG & epithets for Them, and what They have to teach us this Pride month about altruism, compassion, and the sanctity of queer love.

Hail Lofen! Hail Siofen! And Hail the mighty Queer, Trans and Intersex Ancestors!

Gods who offer light in the night, I hold you most dear Gods of the road, of protection, and the earth as you shine Endlessly, my fears are seen and soothed by you as you guide

Artemis Amphipyros, Lady Mene under the will of her dear mother She shows every wandering man across the land what is hidden Bull-horned goddess, the light of her crescent moon dances above

Demeter Erinys, Kyanopeplos in your mourning As you search the earth, torches in hand While you gift and enlighten us with your many mysteries Though in rage and woe, you still gave us survival The means to get through every moment of harsh weather

Dionysos Lamptêros, Nyktelios with the many in your shadow One would be hard fought to have a better delight Only to experience a moment in your divine revelry Under your crackling light, I am in tune with the many cries

Hekate Dadophoros, Daeira who sees the lost souls Nudging them along with the many howls Her very presence incites, most noble, all-hearing She guides the weary, the shunned, and the unanswered Ebony-horned Mene, glad-hearted in connecting gods and men

Hermes Argeiphontês, Kêryx I hear your booming voice Navigating me in every search to know what is before me No matter how much I stumble upon your infinite paths I know that with you, I will reach the end of all roads I travel

Pandia Selene, Pasiphae, magnifying your brother's might Shining down your soft, silver light to brighten the darkness Bull-horned, white, round, and in full view leaving nothing a mystery

* I am using Argeiphontês here not to refer to him as the killer of Argos, but as the Radiant One. While it isn't much, and a rarer artistic depiction, torch-bearing Hermes does exist

honestly what is people's obsession with posting violently flashing gifs in the satanist community tags :/

it gives me a headache and i dont even have any medical conditions that would be affected by it.

honestly its dangerous at this point, because of how aggressively they flash it could probably cause problems for epileptics.
