Please I Hate Going To Helpol Blogs, Only To See Random Queerphobic Sentiment Of Any Kind.

had already sent this to a mutual of mine but i thought this might be helpful for anyone else who may need it

it’s a tarot spread on how to know what deities are trying to reach out with you and why, works like a charm i swear

have a good night everyone!

Little HelPol Tips

Having a himalayan salt lamp as an eternal flame for Hestia

Candles and incense are good low-energy offerings

Dedicating baths/showers to Aphrodite

If you have pets, devote taking care of them to Artemis

Do what you can and what feels right!! Each person's practice is different

You are in fact allowed to make mistakes

Making a snack/beverage and offering it to a deity/deities, or inviting them to share it with you

If you're learning a language (or multiple!) dedicate it to Hermes

Make playlists for your deities

If you make art/ play any musical instruments, dedicate those activities to Apollo

Try to look for the theoi in your everyday life, even in the mundane things

If you workout, dedicate that to Ares

Similarly, if you play sports, dedicate that play to Hermes

If you have a garden or plants, dedicate taking care of them to Demeter and Persephone

Χαίρετε!

For those of you that can't offer physical offerings/can only leave certain physical offerings and it makes you feel like you're not worthy as a result:

You're doing enough.

Recognizing what's around you is enough.

Working around/Trying to work around setbacks to show your devotion is enough.

Just being there and being yourself is enough.

Whether you're leaving offerings to deities, spirits, nature, ancestors, whatever... you're doing enough.

It's hard but you're not alone and you're recognized for your efforts.

You do not have to be filled with boundless faith and zero doubt 24/7. That's actually not a reasonable expectation to have for yourself. You'll feel doubt sometimes, and that's entirely ok and normal. I promise you that everyone has gone through periods of doubt, regardless of what faith they hold.

Hello please reblog this if you’re okay with people sending you random asks to get to know you better

What my deities see on a daily basis (I’d say several times a day and I’m beyond happy they tolerate me ) 😄

| Just a reminder to people : You do not need an altar for deity work. You do not need to spend a lot of money on offerings or rituals. You do not need to hold yourself to the standard of other people's practice. This is your journey and your relationship with the gods. They understand what you have and they understand whats available or any circumstance you are in. I am a strong believer that, if an offering or devotional work is with good intentions and done so from the heart, it's more than good enough and your deities will be more than happy and accepting. Even if it's not a historical offering or even if it's something simple like saying good morning in your mind, they take notice and they love you for you. Having an altar or performing rituals is great, I have an altar myself! However, it's not a necessity, especially if you cannot make one/have one.

Somedays I gotta really love my dyslexia cause last night I was trying to write something along the lines of “she was engaged to him” but I instead wrote “she was endangered to him”
