CERBERUS

Let yourself be cringe in your worship!!!

The Gods don’t find you embarrassing. The Gods don’t 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 pokémon 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: “Every human I have ever liked was at least a little bit cringe”

BE CRINGE. BE PROUD. THE GODS LOVE YOU.

🌹🔥 The Rite of Her Sacred Fires 2025 🔥🌹

On the full moon in May, hundreds across the world perform the Rite of Her Sacred Fires: a cross-tradition devotional rite to Hekate. Since we have no surviving record of festivals dedicated to Hekate, I like to observe this date as a yearly festival honoring the goddess. I have given Her offerings of handmade beeswax candles, honey cakes, pomegranates, and libations of wine, milk, and honey.

Hail Hekate, torch-bearing goddess of the many ways. Savior and protector, three-formed maiden of the golden sandals. May your sacred fires light our path, and may you always bring light to the darkness.

I'm a big supporter of "the gods love you, regardless of how much you're able to do to worship them", but at the same time, it's difficult to forge a relationship with any deity (or even other people) if you don't allow yourself to be known by them. If you don't have moments of vulnerability, moments of silliness, moments of small joy even, then it's difficult to forge relationships or take them to a deeper level. Loving gods (or even other people) can be a scary thing for some people (hell, it was for me), but if you don't allow your heart to be exposed, even just a little, then you're not going to get back as much as you're hoping to.

Anything that's worth anything in life is going to require some level of risk, as terrifying as that feels sometimes, and in my opinion, having a deeper connection with a deity is one of those things that's worth the risk.

My point isn't that we aren't loved by the gods if we don't do a ritual everyday or pray every hour; my point here is that we cannot deepen our bonds if we aren't willing to dip more than just our toes into our deity relationships. Love your gods, and know that you are loved, but they can't really help you if you won't let them in, you know?

Aphroditos, the Trans Aphrodite worshipped widely in Amathus and Athens.

This particular pose, where a feminine deity lifts up their skirt or dress to reveal a phallus, is called the Anasyrma or Anasyromenos and was widely regarded as an apotropaic gesture, averting evil influences and bringing forth good fortune.

"There's also a statue of Venus on Cyprus, that's bearded, shaped and dressed like a woman, with scepter and male genitals, and they conceive her as both male and female. Aristophanes calls her Aphroditus, and Laevius says: Worshiping, then, the nurturing god Venus, whether she is male or female, just as the Moon is a nurturing goddess. In his Atthis Philochorus, too, states that she is the Moon and that men sacrifice to her in women's dress, women in men's, because she is held to be both male and female."

-Macrobius, Saturnalia (C. 431 BCE)

This combination of masculinity and femininity in the same Deity and their assocition with the moon, both of which were considered to have fertilizing powers, was regarded as having an influence over the entire animal and vegetable creation.

They were often identified with Ermaphroditos (Hermaphroditus), the intersex child of Aphrodite and Hermes

Caution when casting spells! ⚠️

When casting spells, you have to be as specific as possible.

You always have to specify what and how you want this to go.

For example: if you want more money, you don’t have to say “i want money” and thats it. Becouse you might get what you wanted, but your husband died and you got his life insurance.

You can say: “i want more money to come to me, with the less harm to me and to others”

Doing this, you are putting your energy in one spot, causing less or any side effects of your magic.

Be safe and protect others from harm 🌙

Once we start loving ourselves, people no longer seem good to us unless they are actually good for us.

How You are Affected by the Planets at Their Best

When a planet is placed well in your chart, this is what happens.

SUN

People’s opinions and society’s evolving values have no effect on your identity and principles. You stick to who you are and what you believe in.

MOON

You always know when someone is deceiving you. And you never deceive yourself. You have a healthy way of processing every kind of emotion.

MERCURY

Words are your strongest suit. Written or spoken. Your thoughts are always organized and you know how to effectively communicate them.

VENUS

Your life, your environment and yourself are beautiful. Despite fluctuating income, weight or whatnot, you always feel blessed and abundant.

MARS

You are never without purpose. You always have a goal. Thus, your life constantly has meaning. Despite any losses, you continue to believe in yourself.

JUPITER

Hopelessness is a feeling you do not understand. You always see the bright side, no matter how dark it is. That is why you tend to attract luck in your life.

SATURN

You enjoy challenges and obstacles, and you excel at conquering them. Instead of trying to break the wheel, you fight to take control of it.

URANUS

Community matters greatly to you. While you bask in your own uniqueness, you truly believe that no man is an island. You are great at making friends.

NEPTUNE

Your personal relationships are strong because you genuinely understand people. They adore your kindness, sensitivity and creativity.

PLUTO

You are like the Hydra. When life cuts off one of your heads, you grow two back. You thrive even more under pressure. You truly are powerful.

How To Cleanse Your Deck

You've been using your cards a lot lately and you are feeling as though your deck might be losing some connection...

You are wondering why readings might not seem as accurate or maybe your deck is not giving you as full of a picture as it previously has...

It might be time to cleanse your deck!

Reasons to cleanse your deck:

You are feeling a little less of a connection

Your deck is being very vague consistently

You don't feel the same power coming from your deck

You just feel like it

You've been doing a lot of readings

There are many reasons you might want to cleanse your deck, those are just a couple of them.

How do you go about doing that?

My favorite method is using dried rosemary and waving it over my deck, then using selenite or clear quartz to charge it.

Other methods:

Placing in a bowl of salt overnight

Use stones you associate with the cleansing energy and place them with it

Doing a full cleansing ritual complete with incantation (this will vary depending on the practitioner)

Simply sitting with your deck and visualizing the old energy leaving the deck

"You can sort the cards into order (Major Arcana 0-21, then the four colors each Ace-King) as a form of resetting the deck. Shuffle it well before you use it again." - via @rosehiphobbit

This can work for any deck you have even if they aren't traditional tarot cards. The idea is to place them back in their original order.

Something I like to do when I am finished with a reading and before I start a reading is something a basic as waving my hand over the deck I am using and stating that I am clearing the energy from the previous reading from the deck.

If you forget to charge your deck when you are done, you can concentrate on the energy you need when you do your next reading with the energy you feel (love, protection, wisdom, strength etc). If you do tend to forget and leave it uncharged, consider setting up a protection so that unwanted energies don't try to settle in. I like to charge the deck after I am done with selenite or clear quartz.

Do you have any favorite ways to cleanse your deck?
