🌙Make Time For Your Faith🌙
ART BY: @eunnieboo
⭐ If you go to university, study or have a full-time job that requires travel or takes up a lot of your time, it can sometimes be difficult to prioritize your witchy journey. But this does not mean it is impossible.If you are just starting out in Witchcraft, try to schedule time into every day; even if it’s just half an hour to write in your Book of Shadows or to practice reading your tarots or research a new subject. There’s no need to pressure yourself; it’s not a chore and should be fun!
⭐ If you have been doing witchcraft for a while and suddenly have a change in location- maybe you have begun university, moved home or started a new job- do the same: schedule a time for your practices or even use it to wind down in the evenings before you sleep. This can be a super effective way to enjoy your witchy journey and make the learning element less chore-like - just chill and look forward to it in the evenings. Remember that sometimes you may be so busy that you barely have time to sleep, let alone practice your craft, so don’t punish yourself. Remember that you live and breathe your beliefs, if you miss a full moon or forget a ritual that you had planned, don;t worry about it, it will come around again soon!
⭐ If you have a job that takes up a lot of your time, you can take magic with you, whether it be a book to read in your lunchtime, a form of divination you can do on the train, crystals to use for meditation or even a semi-permanent altar , as small as a match box with a few herbs, a candle and a few other mini items. Lunchtimes are always great for spell work. Find a quiet spot where you can concentrate; this may take some getting used to but it will become more natural the more that you practice.
⭐ If you share a house with friends or flatmates who take up a lot of your time and personal space, it may be awkward explaining that you need quiet time to concentrate on something that they may not understand. You could lie and say that you need privacy for a phone call or to practice meditation but it’s often better to be honest with people and explain what you are actually doing. That way they won’t think that you just don’t want them around. Again, it’s easier said than done, but if you treat your faith as a completely normal thing to you and don’t make a big deal out of it, it’s usually received in the same way.
🌙 Restrictions By Tenancy Or Household Rules
⭐ If your tenancy agreement doesn’t allow lit candles, this can be incredibly difficult as many spells require them. Even casting circles or divination can sometimes benefit from the use of candles. You need to remember that Witchcraft and magic are all about working with what you’ve got. It’s about using what is at hand and about your intent, not about items that you have purchased. For example, if you feel like you need items that represent fire, incense can often substituted , as can herbs that you can burn and some crystals . If you are not allowed to burn anything indoors, you can always just use visualization and concentration: all you really need for a spell is yourself!
⭐ Also, living in the city, it is unlikely that you will be allowed to or have space to have bonfires for celebrations. A wood burner or a fireplace that you are permitted to use is a good substitute. These can both be used in spells that incorporate burning and for festivities on the Sabbats.

READ!! THIS IS MY LAST CHANCE!!!! (This is all I have!!)
My health is actually failing. I’m not being dramatic when I say I could die If I don’t get the medical help I need.
I suffer from chronic illnesses (a rare version of MTHFR HOMOZYGOUS, HIT, DEEP VEIN THROMBOSIS, AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE + more) and I am disabled and trans. I am jobless due to my illnesses and I am currently without any necessary resources to survive, be healthy, stable, or safe..
I have a rare blood clotting disease that causes me to be at the HIGHEST RISK possible to have a heart attack, aneurysm, or stroke. This disease has also resulted in multiple major surgeries, and countless other major procedures that have left me with debilitating chronic pain and other disabilities (limited use of my dominate arm, and even tasks like sweeping leave my arms in immense pain). I have two stints in my chest keeping my main vein open to my right arm so the blood can flow to it. And it still has trouble flowing back which causes swelling and excruciating pain in my arm. The main vein in my chest has been patched and dissected from a vein from my thigh because the veins in my right arm and chest are so damaged they weren’t able to save much. I had to get a rib removed because it was pinching my vein and causing clotting during which damaged a lot of muscles in my chest and shoulder causing even more chronic pain. They also wired my chest shut.
So I NEED to have access to good health care. I’m chronically ill with horrible and scary diseases. I’ve already almost died three times, and have been on my death bed twice.. I’m in and out of hospitals constantly, they don’t have the resources to help. I NEED HELP. I NEED TO LEAVE AND MOVE IN ORDER TO SURVIVE!!! Please fucking help me!! Boost my links, donate whatever! I’m grateful for anything !!
I DON’T WANT TO DIE I’ve been fighting for my life since I was 16. I’m taking my health seriously and using the little bit of energy that I have to get shit done.
I’m honestly only asking for the bare minimum of what I need to move, and for rent…
I’m trying to move to Colorado to escape (my abuser and stalker that I have a really traumatic history with. Violence and including assaults) I’m stuck in my hometown right now in northern MN. Where I’m at right now IS NOT safe for me and I NEED to leave..
My friend in Colorado has a place that I can move into ASAP, I just need first and last months rent. I have to move this month or she has to find a different roommate because of her own financial situation, so this is my ONE and only lucky chance!! I NEED to move to Colorado for access to better health care (to keep me alive), and for my own safety.. This is VITAL for my health (mentally and physically).
PLEASE DONATE OR BOOST MY LINKS!!!
NOW IS THE TIME TO SHOW YOUR SUPPORT AND BE AN ALLY !! ALSO PLEASE READ AND SHARE MY STORY/LINKS!! REPOST, & REBLOG!! Copy and paste my links & story & share on ALL your social media’s (twitter, Facebook, tumblr and Instagram!!!!) it helps me so much !

Hestia
Hestia is the Greek Goddess of the hearth, home, architecture, the state, and family. She’s also one of the virgin Goddesses who is seen as a protector deity. Legend says that she was originally one of The Big Twelve (or the Olympians, or the council) but she stepped down to keep the peace on Olympus when Dionysus showed up.
General: hearth, home, living flame, architecture, bowl, veils, pantry, keys, pictures of houses you’ve lived in/cool architecture you like, family (chosen family counts) and ancestor stuff
Animals: donkey (ass) and pigs
Plants: Angel’s trumpet (Datura), California poppy, goldenrod, hollyhock, purple coneflower, and yarrow
Perfumes/Scents: angelica, iris, lavender, and peony
Gems and Metals: amethyst, garnet, gold, silver, and brass
Colors: gold, dark rose, lavender, silver, and black
Things To Pray For: protection, inspiration, happiness, guidance, and help getting rid of the home of negative entities
Invocation of Hestia Hail Hestia, Ancient heart Mother Goddess of the Spiritual Flame, We thank you for your constant love and care. We ask that you come and dwell here. Make of our home your home. Make of our hearth your hearth. Make of our temple your temple. Make of our hearts one heart, your heat. Hail Hestia!
Prayer To Hestia Blessed Lady of the Hearth Keeper of the sacred flames of Olympus Enter this home and make it your own Enter and be welcome Bless all who enter here with peace Bless all who dwell here with your protection Grant me and mine your protection That we may always find our way to you
Personal Experience: I have limited experience with Hestia as I haven’t really started practicing with her yet. But the experiences I have had have all been really positive and easy going.

Is this how you roll?
To those who have swept or have blown the leaves from the walk, have rinsed the dishes or dusted their screens, Hestia looks on you from beneath her veil. She smiles, then wraps a shawl made of sunlit October air around you.
To those who remain in bed, who are on the edge of crying, who have turned on the tv to drown out the world, Hestia sits on the edge of your bed, patting circles on your back. I know, my love, she says, I know, I know. It can be so hard. My sweet, it’s time to get up. I need you, she says. Let’s make this home a sanctuary. Light a candle. Make your hands to care about this place. Let out the work of love.
“Wake the fark up, Samurai. You’ve got a food bowl to fill.” ~ Johnny Silverpaw
Hymn to Bast
To Bast who grants the best of blessings, I offer my praise. O mighty Eye of Ra, O slayer of the serpent, Mistress of Bubastis, your city of famous name: well-honored you were in the fairest of temples, well-loved you remain throughout the wide world. Preserver against all ills that plague us, Protector against all foes that imperil us, Yours is the care of humanity, our shelter and our shield. Yours too is the sistrum, the sweetness of sound, the joy and the pleasure of dance, the delight of good company, laughter and song; O goddess of merriment and mirth, I thank you for good friends and good cheer, for respite and rest, for the comfort of love. Defender of the good and the right, I honor you, O goddess. Devourer of evil and disorder, I honor you, O Bast.
those little things on ur nose aren’t blackheads, don’t try and get rid of them they’re sebaceous filaments and they’re permanent and literally everyone has them
every girl has that little pouch of fat on her lower tummy, despite what magazines try n show u, you have important organs there that need to be protected don’t try and get rid of ur pouch
ur body is smarter than u think and it knows what to do when u eat more than normal. one bad day, or even week, of eating poorly isn’t gonna ruin anything at all I pinky promise
if u think u look good up until u try taking a selfie, it’s not ur fault - our faces are asymmetrical and when u see ur face flipped it will look unnatural to u, since u don’t see it that way when u look in the mirror. to everyone else it looks perfectly fine
no one’s stomach looks the same at 8pm as it does at 8am. no one has a chiseled six pack after a day of eating, not even the super fit people u see on tumblr, because ur stomach naturally expands after eating and expecting to have a flat tummy before bed is very unrealistic
no one notices if the bags under ur eyes are bad today. no one pays attention to the bump in ur nose or the zit on ur chin or the piece of hair that u missed when u were straightening. literally no one notices these things except you so stop worrying about it ur gonna be fine
sometimes u just gotta get over urself

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!

*slides Aphrodite a chocolate bar* need hold hand
I'm a guy and I had really cystic acne when I was 16 (now 18). I'm on my second treatment of acutane right now. The first was for 8 months and my current treat is on its 5th month. I just feel like shit all the time. I feel bad about myself. I can't look into the mirror and like what I see. I've already seen a therapist about this problem but it didn't really help much. I've learned to deal with it better, but I still struggle. Any advice?
I’m so sorry!! It’s really unfair just how much acne can affect ones self image. I had a really hard time with mine when it was bad, and I don’t think I can say that I know how you feel, but I went through a long period of self hatred just because of my skin. I definitely understand that it can take a toll on you and your happiness. I think the best advice I have is that in the long run, dealing with something like this can make you a much better person. It makes you understanding of others, less judge mental, and more accepting. That’s mostly how I got through dealing with my skin, but I know it’s not as simple as that. Just know that we are all here for you and you are so so so much more than your skin. Don’t forget that you have a personality and all the potential in the world to do what you want. And honestly, when I see someone dealing with acne it makes me relate to them more and have respect for them. When mine was at its worst I really reached to people that had similar problems and t made me feel better to have an unspoken similarity. It helped a lot to not feel judged because who I surrounded myself with understood what was happening. Another thing is that when accutane comes up with people I know, the people can’t seem to remember what my skin used to look like, because when it isn’t your skin it isn’t a big deal. Don’t worry, you’ll get through it and you’ll come out on top. If you ever need anything I’m here, and I’m sure tons of other people apart of this community and your life are there for you too :)
Thataylaa is one of my favourite youtubers, and she’s just put out a video about her acne experience and going on Accutane. I think this video is really amazing because it addresses a lot of the things people say to those with acne: “Why haven’t you been to a dermatologist?” “You need to wash your face!” “Drink more water!” etc.
She’s also done heaps of research on the causes of acne and things like that. So it’s very worth watching, especially if you have bad acne.
For anyone going through their initial breakout on accutane:
I know it looks really bad & it hurts. You’ve never seen your skin look so bad but I promise it will go away. Take a shower, wash your hair, don’t forget to put on lip balm & drink lots of water. Your skin is going to look amazing in no time. Don’t lose hope. You’re beautiful and don’t let spots on your face determine your beauty. Be patient.
