Masterpost Of Resources For Hellenic Polytheism

Masterpost of Resources for Hellenic Polytheism

I made a masterpost in April, and updated it again today… and then I realized it was in desperate need of organization. Instead of separating my resources from everyone else’s, because that honestly doesn’t do anything, this is a more organized version with mine mixed in, too. Let me know if you find any good resources you think I should add to this list!

Khaire, everyone!

Reading A Candle

Reading A Candle

Watch your candles closely and learn to read them to help you with your practice.

The Flame

A strong flame: It means that your energies are raised. There is a lot of power behind your spell and little to no resistance. Indicates that all your power and energy is focused on your manifestation. This is a good sign. If a candle shaped into a figure is used and has a strong flame it means that whoever it represents is either angry, winning, or using authority over another. When their are two figures the candle with the higher flame has authority over the other person.   

A weak flame: Indicates that the magick you cast is facing a heavy opposition and is a sign that you may need to recast your spell in order to overcome the opposing force. On a figure candle this may indicate that the representative may be loosing a battle or an argument. 

A jumping flame: This indicates strong emotions. There may also be some sort of resistance against you. Maybe close your circle and bring your mind back to focus before continuing. It may also mean an explosion of energy. When two figure candles are being used it often means that an energetic or a heated argument is taking place between them.  

A noisy candle: Indicates a conversation. It may may that a spirit is trying to send you a message or get in contact with you. The louder the noises get the more urgent communication must be. 

The flame catches something on fire: Someone one may be using malicious magick against you.  

A clean even burning candle: Means your spell and manifestations are likely to come true.

Fast Burn: The results of your spell will happen quickly.

Flickering Flame: If there is no breeze then it means a spirit is near by. If it is a devotional flame it means you were able to get in contact with your deity.

Cannot blow the flame out: A spirit may not be finished its conversation with you or you did not complete a spell. The spirit needs to complete its work, something may be may in the works that you do not want to interrupt. 

A flame goes out while burning: This means the spirits cannot help you and the answer you seek is already determined.  

The Smoke

Black smoke/soot: Your energy and magick is being blocked. Negative energy is being sent your way, whether as a curse or hex. You may soon be faced with tough challenges and a hard road ahead of you. 

Smoke wafts towards you: It means your call will likely be answered or your spell has been cast successfully. You will get results quickly.

Smoke wafts away from you: You must work harder in order for your calls to be answered.

Watch the direction the smoke wafts: East - Something powerful is assisting you, North - You are ready to begin your ritual and get results, South - The spell will be successful, West - A powerful interference from an outside force.

Smoking Candle: Negative energy is being burned away.

The Wax

When a candle leaves wax residue: Your spell may need to be repeated.

Look for symbols in the candle wax, like reading tea leaves.

witchy grimoire ideas🌙🌹

 for those of you that do not know, a grimoire is a book/collection of information regarding your craft. these are just basic topics you can mention, however, your path is yours and it is beautiful regardless. another disclaimer: your grimoire doesn’t have to be flashy and ancient looking. it can be a composition notebook. it can be a collection of paper held together by staples. as long as it is functional, it just as valid. because you put the time and the positive energy into making it. 

grimoire ideas

🌞your beliefs 🌙any daily rituals 🌞written spells 🌙moon phases 🌞info on herbs 🌙herb correspondances 🌞chakras 🌙auras 🌞color correspondances               🌙divination 🌞moon water 🌙sun water 🌞mythology 🌙tea magic 🌞constellations 🌙dream log 🌞a list of elements 🌙essential oils 🌞oil correspondences 🌙spirits 🌞crystal correspondences

remember, this is just a list of things you can write! there are far more things. if anyone would like to suggest something to add to the list, just let me know <3. much love, –mikey

Invocation writing II

Here’s a template I made, inspired by the author Richard Kieckhefer.

1. Opening statement.

To summon a spirit: + “I summon” + “I call upon” + “I conjure” + “I invoke”

To banish a spirit: + “I banish” + “I dispel” + “I return” + “I expell” + “I release”

To demand something: + “I ask” + “I command” + “I demand”

2. Name of spirit. “ You… “

+ Whole name + Whole name + birthplace (town/city/country) + Whole name + name of parent + Whole name + occupation in life + “Spirit”

3. Power or authority.

“ By… “ + “My powers” + “My might” + “This token” + “My authority as [insert authority]”

“ In the name of ” + “ All that is ” + “ The powers that be ” + “ What was and will be ”

4. Command.

To summon: + “Manifest thyself within this [circle/room/smoke/mirror/basin/water]” + “Make thyself known” + “Come to me” + “Come forth” + “Grant me audience”

To banish: + “Leave this place” + “Leave me” + “Begone”

To demand something: State your demand and offer a reward for the completion of this task.

Example: “ I summon [Opening statement] You, John Doe [Name of spirit], By my power and in the name of what once was [Power or authority]. Manifest thyself in this circle! [Command] ”
