the gods understand your disabilities, mental health, and neurodiversities.
they understand if your physical disabilities, mental or physical, prevent you from being able to go outside.
they understand you even when you cannot articulate what you mean during prayer or cannot find the words to express gratitude and love.
they understand if you can't spend much time or stand still at their altars.
they understand if executive dysfunction keeps you from making offerings or doing a lot of active practice.
they understand if you have to take breaks and hiatuses from practicing to focus on yourself and your mental or physical health.
they understand if you lose focus during meditation/trance work or cannot do it to begin with.
they understand you and are with you when you cannot get out of bed for mental or physical reasons.
they understand you and are with you during times when you cannot care for yourself or love yourself.
the gods will always understand, love, and accept us for who we are. we are all valid, and we are seen and heard by the gods, even when it feels as if we are alone. š
bring back tumblr ask culture let me. bother you with questions and statements
Hello please reblog this if youāre okay with people sending you random asks to get to know you better
this is your reminder that you are allowed to have an abnormal religious practice or craft. i've seen so many blogs worry about being palatable and accepted and i'm here to say what happens between you, your deities, and (if you practice) your witchcraft is your business alone.
you do not have to share everything with the internet, you are allowed to do things away from the public eye without talking about it. it does not make you alone. it does not strip you of the community you have.
additionally, you are so so SO allowed to practice differently from others. you are allowed to have a nonconforming practice in anything you do, not just for witchcraft or spirituality.
it's okay to make shit strange from time to time. let people question you and make incorrect assumptions about who you are. let them be wrong about you. nobody holds more value to what you do than you, and how you see your own practice.
make things weird. don't be afraid of not being accepted. it's good for you to do things your own way, however that is.
friendly reminder: you donāt owe anyone any explanations as to why you practice the way you practice. If the Gods are happy with your practice who is anyone to say otherwise??
itās okay to have your own thoughts and opinions but letās stop w the policing of devotion when the policing doesnāt even make sense
Does anyone elseās deities get really aggressive with ya when you are sick and not resting when you should be?
Itās like guys I know but most meds donāt work for me and I canāt sit down for more than 5 minutes without having to always be constantly doing something.. ļæ¼
The Gods donāt find you embarrassing. The Gods donāt care about seeming cool and professional for the approval of others.
Make that fucking aesthetic photo collage for Aphrodite with cute pics you found on Pinterest .
Dress up like Hermes and go for a damn walk.
Collect random stones you think are cool and put them on your altar.
Put that photo of that cartoon character that reminds you of your deity on your altar.
Make that Minecraft temple to Hekate, domesticate those damn Minecraft wolves for Cerberus.
Make your deities in the sims!
Write soppy melodramatic poetry for Dionysus that no one else will read.
Make self insert fanfics about your favourite Gods and write them all as your best friends. Let them interact with your edgy ocs.
Create an AU where you and your Gods are all characters from your favourite anime.
Record silly little songs for them
Make them paintings that are full of clashing colors and weird forms.
Draw them a fursona
Wear that bright yellow outfit for Apollon.
Put on a dramatic makeup look for Aphrodite.
Call your closest deity that silly little nickname you have for them and let them call you one too.
Share your special interests with your Gods. Design your God as a pokƩmon or a crystal gem, or a sonic character.
Those losers that try to make you feel bad for being passionate will never have what you have.
In the words of the Great Lord Hermes: āEvery human I have ever liked was at least a little bit cringeā
BE CRINGE. BE PROUD. THE GODS LOVE YOU.
pronouns? sorry I don't do those, not anymore. I used to have some but then this guy with winged sandals stole them from me so uh...
As an autist sometimes the Gods are more easy to communicate with than people. I constantly have the autistic fear of people misinterpreting my words and that just doesnāt exist with them.
Me after rambling about something: sorry, Iām not quite sure how to explain that, I hope you know what I mean
Hermes, the literal God of language: I understand what you mean, itās okay.
Me, still trying to explain: I just want to make sure youāre not getting the wrong idea
Hermes: Dude, I know what you mean. I always know what you mean. I donāt apply hidden subtext to your words because I know thatās not your intention. Iām not a human.
Me: Iām just nervous Iām coming across wrong
Hermes: oh you poor traumatized child. I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN.

It's 2am, please forgive me if there are any mistakes!
being obsessed with your godās domain before you started worshipping is so reassuringā¦
like what do you mean youāve been here the whole time? that youāve always been a part of me lying in wait? that you, the divine, has innervated & enriched my life long before i acknowledged you were divine? SICK!!!
