Witch Craft in Your Every Day Life

use sun or moon water in your morning teas or coffee.

Add honey or sugar to your tea or coffee with the intent of making your day a little sweeter.

Stir your drinks and food clockwise with the intent to invoke, stir counter clockwise with the intent to banish.

When cooking, assign the metaphysical properties to the spices you are using in your recipe.

When sweeping your floors, imagine your self sweeping up all the negative and stagnate energy in your home out along with the dirt.

When washing dishes scrub them in a clockwise circle with the intent to invoke positivity and health into your plates and bowls.

Water your plants with moon and sun water. Feed your plants crushed u egg shells. Burry the ashes of a burnt sigil on paper or a bay leaf in your plant pots. Decorate plant pots with sigils. This will all turn your plants into protective wards for you.

Make a sigil with the phrase “Only people who I wish to see this can see this” or something like that, then draw it on everything you wish to keep private in order to deter nosy people.

Draw sigils with your lotion, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand sanitizer, and roller ball perfume.

Make sigils from the phrases “I am healthy” and “I am protected” and draw them on the inside of your face mask.

Charge your face masks with your crystals.

Bless everything you drink and eat no matter what.

Draw protective sigils inside your bra if you wear one.

Let your regular jewelry become protection charms by letting them charge in a plate of salt and protective herbs (Mine also has herbs for self love and to help with anxiety) 

When needing to remember important information let a ring charge in rosemary and mint for mental clarity and to help you remember then wear this ring every time you study and take a test.

Decorative candles? Scented candles for the smell? Turn them into spell candles with your intent when you light them, manifest some positivity.

"Dionysus (or Dionysos) is the Olympian god of wine, vegetation, pleasure, festivity, madness, and wild frenzy."

💗Lovely offerings to Aphrodite💗

💗Sweet devotional acts💗

💗Cute altar ideas💗

An altar to Aphrodite should be as beautiful as you can make it. Decorate it with ocean motifs, roses (real or fake), flower garlands, nods to Her sacred animals (doves, swans, dolphins,) art of Her or erotica, rose quartz, pearls, and bright colors that capture feelings of love and the sea. An altar beside a window, on a windowsill, a vanity stand, or somewhere with a mirror. If you need to keep it secret or wish to keep a travel altar, try to keep her altar in a pretty box adorned with floral or sea decorations or something like a makeup pouch.

Having an outdoor garden altar is also a perfect option for Her - make it bird and bee friendly, use organic products (ones without pesticides) on your plants, have bird-feeders around, and have a little place where you can safely light a candle or incense for Her along with an offering bowl and a place for you to sit and enjoy the beauty she brings to you.

On prayers in hellenism

(feel free to correct me if i made a mistake)

Literally yesterday I was talking to one of my best friends about her relationships and said “i must admit when you dated x i prayed day and night for you to find a better man, im not a prayer person tbh”. 

And that little dumb comment ended up here. I thought to myself why was I in fact not a prayer person and why and how did I pray in certain cases such as when running or asking Aphrodite for my friend to find a better guy.

So here you go, a crash course on prayers but specifically in hellenism. 

If it’s not obvious, each way of worshipping is different and if you don’t agree with something I say just don’t do it? Paganism in general is a very personal and free religion, so do whatever you think it’s the right way (be careful too pls). 

Let’s start with what troubled me the most, the posture. Did I have to kneel? Sit? WHAT?! Well here you go:

(Here you can find which are some of the ouraic, chtonic and einalic gods)

Position ready, now you should try to purify yourself through washing your hands, taking a shower, etc. (Miasma, this is all miasma go research kiddos). Why? WHY?! Well, Imagine someone comes to you all dirty and smelly asking for help… no fun right. 

Let’s assume you already are clean, get an offering to offer the gods and let’s start. 

Okay okay now, what do we say when we start a prayer? Do we say “Hey pal how you doing bro” (be kind enough to add the generic frat boy voice when reading)? The answer is obviously not but what should we say… I assume you have already decided who are you praying too, so we name/invoke the deity we are asking help/giving our gratitude too, most of the times this starts with a “Hear, O (deity) + (epithets you might think are pertinent for this specific prayer, optional)”. Not always though, I’ll be furthermore breaking down two prayers from the Iliad on this steps to make it even more clear. This comparison can be found below.

Done that? We can proceed to basically give an “argument” on why you, from all people, should be blessed with their help. This is not for to guilt trip the deity okay, this is to bring up the beautiful relationship you have with them, it’s basically a reminder of “Hey, I’m serious about our deity x worshipper relationship, this is no joke”.

Now ofc we have to say why are we praying for. Wealth? Love? Want to pass your exams? (I sure do). Please don’t ask for an unicorn, ask for something the gods can give you such as protection, a blessing, good luck at an exam: be creative but not too creative. 

Now that they are hopefully giving you what you’re asking for, we give back freely not because we want to force them to give us what we want. Basically the quote “I give so that you may give.” This can be considered as a “promise” on doing something like “I will practice violin daily for you” or “I will burn a candle for you”. You have your own practices so go with them. 

Comparison among two prayers

Now that we got this, you may ask yourself “Where the hell is Roy taking all this info from?”. So I’ll just analyze prayers for you so you can see the clear structure used by Greek Writers. Here we go through comparing two prayers from the best book on Earth, the Iliad:

Libations & Placement 

Achilless:  This cup he then took from the chest and cleansed it first with sulphur, and thereafter washed it in fair streams of water; [230] and himself he washed his hands, and drew flaming wine.”

Chryses: “around the well-built altar, and then they washed their hands (…) then Chryses lifted up his hands, and prayed aloud for them”

Calling among the gods

Chryses: “Hear me, god of the silver bow, who stands over Chryse and holy Cilla, and rules mightily over Tenedos

Achilles: ”Zeus, thou king, Dodonaean, Pelasgian, thou that dwellest afar, ruling over wintry Dodona,—and about thee dwell the Selli, [235] thine interpreters, men with unwashen feet that couch on the ground.”

Justification 

Chryses: As before you heard me when I prayed—to me you did honour, and mightily smote the host of the Achaeans

Achilles:  Aforetime verily thou didst hear my word, when I prayed: me thou didst honour, and didst mightily smite the host of the Achaeans; even so now also fulfill thou for me this my desire.

What they are asking for

Chryses: even so now fulfill me this my desire: ward off now from the Danaans the loathly pestilence

Achilles: O Zeus, whose voice is borne afar, and make bold the heart in his breast, to the end that Hector, too, may know whether even alone my squire hath skill to fight, or whether his hands [245] then only rage invincible, whenso I enter the turmoil of Ares. But when away from the ships he hath driven war and the din of war, thea all-unscathed let him come back to the swift ships with all his arms, and his comrades that fight in close combat.”

Offerings

Chryses:  and took up the barley grains.

Achilles: nor was he wont to pour drink offerings to any other of the gods save only to father Zeus.

-_-

They both fulfill the checklist I did for you so hopefully this will be helpful. As always good luck!

Cartomancy

What is cartomancy?

Cartomancy is a form of divination using a deck of regular playing cards. Cartomancy has been a common form of divination since the 14th century. This form of divination uses the same card lay outs as tarot readings.

Why Practice cartomancy?

A deck of playing cards is a lot cheaper than a deck of tarot cards.

If you are in a household that does not support your beliefs playing cards are a very sneaky form of divination.

The meanings are very informative and a lot easier to remember than tarot in my own experience.

Here are some cheat sheets with general information about the Greek Gods which you might find useful in worship but not only!

There is plenty of information I did not include. These are just simple cheat sheets. I could not fit everything in there but this might come in handy if you’re just starting out or want to get to know the Hellenic Gods.

For more information about them, I highly recommend you check out the websites or books I listed in sources!

⚡ The Olympians ⚡

Write your Witchcraft

The thing is, we change. We are not the same person we were five years ago. Hel, a lot of us are not even the same people we were last week. We change, and our beliefs, favourites, thoughts and the way we see ourselves changes with it. 

The same is true for our witchraft, religion and spiritual beliefs. This is why I have a list of question that I like to answer for myself every couple of years. I first started this when I came across a list of questions by Juniper from Walking the Hedge (site no longer in use) in 2008, yes, over ten years ago. Every few years I filled in the questions and looked back at the answers I gave before. Some never changed, some changed quite a lot. 

When our coven started a new lesson plan, I gave out the list of questions as well. We sealed our answers in envelopes and plan to fill them in again, once we finish our lessons. Then open the envelopes and look at the answers side by side. To see how we have changed. 

I looked at the list last week and found it actually lacking a bit. The questions were very deity- and spiritual based, so I was missing some more questions about my personality and witchcraft. So I decided to make my own list of questions! 

Since I wanted to make this more a weekly journaling/grimoire prompt for myself I put together 52 questions. These can be answered weekly (maybe every year) or you can work through the list in one go and repeat that every few years or so. 

Some notes on the wording: I consider myself both a witch and a pagan, but to keep it easier to read I only used wording like “witch” and “witchcraft”, they can however be substituted for “pagan”, “paganism” or even “my path”, should that fit you better. When I talk about “sacred space” this can both mean a ritual space like a temple or casting of a circle, but also just your home or outdoors witchy environment.

I’d love it if you would tag anything you feel comfortable with posting online with the tag #writeyourwitchcraft!

A Daddy’s Duty

pairing: Eijirou Kirishima x Bakugou Katsuki 

genre: smut

word count: 5.4k 

featuring: top!Eijirou, bottom!Katsuki, excessive use of the word “daddy” (no such thing), barebacking, spanking, pining Ei, Somnophilia, light dom/sub

summary: Eijirou wakes up to something wet. As his mind dances on fuzzy edges, a limbo between sleepy darkness and a hazy consciousness, his overheated palms run over the cool sheets. Sheets that feel a lot cooler than they did before.

Then, there’s the very distinct feeling of a tongue on his dick. His senses kick into overdrive, and his body in autopilot as he ruts into this mysterious wet-hot cavern that’s somehow found its way onto his dick. It’s the burning pleasure in his veins that pulls the groan out of his mouth.

Then, only then, does the panic set in.

Kidnapped? No. Katsuki. Katsuki’s room. Katsuki’s…mouth?

OR; When Principal Nezu assigns Eijirou to watch Katsuki after he gets involved in a quirk accident, giving the redhead nothing but a name, he doesn’t think much of it. Not until he wakes up with his dick balls deep in Katsuki’s throat in the middle of the night. Maybe he should look up what “transference” is after all.
