Sigil to bring the warmth of her hearth wherever you go 🧡

Lord Dionysus of androgyny, I pray to you to protect my trans siblings and give them hope in these trying times. Dionysus Maenoles, enraged by how his people are treated, I ask you to liberate those who feel trapped and lost. Unloved in their own homes by their own kin. Dionysus Saotes, I praise you, and thank you for all you've done. Almighty liberator of the grape vine, wonderful protector, please guide us.

Opinions on asking deities for medical help

As someone who deals with chronic pain and mental health issues daily, I often ask the gods for help with managing my symptoms.

That being said, I think it's important for us as pagans to take advantage of the glories that modern medicine provides

I see too many people saying that the gods will fix their issues completely so they don't need to seek professional help. This is an AWFUL way to look at things! The gods are always happy to help you but you also need to put in effort yourself to fix the issue.

To summarize: Take your damn meds, talk to your damn doctor(s) and remember mundane before magical also applies to deities!!!

Which god/goddess do I pray to for help with eating disorder recovery?

Ngl I don't think I'm very qualified to answer this since I don't have a lot of knowledge with eating disorders, I'm very sorry!

That being said, I'd like to remind EVERYONE that yes, you can ask the gods to help with medical/mental health issues but that should be coupled with talking to professionals and making use of modern medicine as prescribed. Think of asking them for help like boosting other efforts yknow?

I'll probably write a proper post about this since I'm very opinionated lol

Sorry to get off track and this isn't targeted to the ask specifically but I just think it's a good reminder

Gonna try using more full-coverage veils to honor Hestia and genuinely so excited! Currently looking into different styles to see what I like, all I know is I wanna have 2 bits of hair in the front sticking out because I like the way that looks

[yourpaganuncle]

Thats so cool! I ended up making 2/4 of them but I definitely plan on making the other 2 eventually

So far I have one for Hestia and one for Athena!

So I love the idea of prayer beads but whenever I want to use them I don't have the motivation to to GET them but I just had a genius idea

I'm gonna make prayer BRACELETS instead so I can just wear them as a devotional thing and if I wanna use them as prayer beads they're right there already, plus I like beaded bracelets anyways!

Now I just have to figure out how I wanna format them 🤔

[yourpaganuncle]

When you get witchcraft books for super cheap but turns out they're based in Wicca and you didn't look close enough :,)

Still gonna use them, just gonna be more cautious

Needed some help with motivating myself to clean so here we are!

Prayer to Hestia for help with cleaning

Lady Hestia,

Goddess of the hearth and home,

Patron of families of blood and choice,

If ever I have offered you my devotion,

Please grant me the strength and energy to clean my space to the best of my ability,

Bless me with the passion for my home that I need to keep it warm and welcoming.

[yourpaganuncle]

I'm back from getting milk to share a prayer I wrote, enjoy!

Short Prayer to Aphrodite for Self Love

Lady Aphrodite,

Goddess of love in all forms,

She who loves those who do not love themselves,

If ever I have offered you veneration please look kindly upon my request,

I humbly ask for your assistance in caring for and about myself,

Please grant me the strength to love myself regardless of my flaws.

Might revive this sideblog honestly, been at a lull in my practice so maybe it'll motivate me? No promises ofc

[yourpaganuncle]

How can anyone be against veils/scarves/headwear? It’s so pretty. It’s so fucking pretty. Any and all headwear religious or not. Peak fashion. Wear a flowy veil don’t let anyone tell you not to.
