I’m doing my 1st Deipnon on Aug 4th. I’ve gotten the foods, & gifts for her & her army. I know not to look back no matter what, & I’ll be wearing all of the crystals that Hecate is represented with; even have an Obsidian orb for her, but if you have any other recommendations or warnings, please let me know❤ our new moon is from 12-4am. Thank you btw
🤦🏻♀️ coming back to this video ON Lughnasadh years later and realizing I said AND wrote “late August” for Lughnasadh when it’s supposed to be EARLY August! Oops!! The rest were all “late” and I misspeak all the time but normally I catch myself in editing. Oops! Oh well! Happy harvests!!
What is moonwater, is it regular water blessed in moonlight? Also im wondering, should mirror locking be done to TV and cell phones, because i have been told many times that when those devices are off, they can act as black mirrors
Yes, you are doing a great job on these videos! I don't think I've seen anyone else talking so specifically about grounding and centering, for example. Your method is one of the very first things I learned about witchcraft decades ago. My tree visualization has become so strong! Thank you for what you are doing!
Do you do Greek pantheon deities only/primarily? I have tons of celtic/pictish/early briton ancestry, and would love to know altar specs for cernunnos, the morrigan, dagda, danu, etc :)
My guides are protecting me and i wanted to appreciation. So as i want just getting and not giving. A balance so to say. Thank you for your insight. I guess i was rationalizing like they were with us
Omgosh, I love this! As a person with sensory processing disorder, coziness is my number one priority. Great idea about enchanting a blanket, will try with a favorite sweater. I could literally feel the vibe coming off this video, as I watched it, and it gave me a window into your calm space, making me feel calmer, as well. I love the aesthetic of your space! Thnx for your videos. 🍄
Thank you for saying it out loud, the thing that I do, as far as, 'Someone else already did it better, so why try?' I say this to myself during my musical practice, and it keeps me from putting myself out there. You, addressing it, will help keep me aware when I find myself going down that path. Thank you.
I like that you are doing this diety series. I have never explored dieties in my practice apart from the divine feminine, divine masculine, and/or Great Spirit. I have only begun to hear of Hekate within the last few years, but didn't know much about her. After watching this video, I am amazed at how much I have in common with this goddess, and she may very well be my new main lady! Obsession w moon since youth, the two dogs (I have a husky and a heeler,) even the food offerings are my go to staples. Very cool key collection! I remember the first time I found an antique key in a junk drawer, when I was working as a florist...and now that I think of it, that is about the time that I started to study witchcraft, and had many options available for choosing a life path...perhaps she did find me. I made the key apart of a necklace and perhaps I should wear it during ritual. Thanks for all the great videos! I learn alot from them. You are authentic and well spoken and have a good pace. And your doggos are cute too! 🐶
Intuitively, I've always found Rosemary very empowering, enhancing of bravery and courage... Makes sense it's masculine. That's unfortunate you had toxicity, but good that you recovered and that experience hadn't "poisoned" you against working with it still. I remember reading that Rosemary can be toxic to the liver, in large quantities; but it is still one of my favorite herbs, too...especially cooking with mushrooms... And the flowers from it are so flavorful and peppery! Great idea about the soup wreath... Will have to try it as well, when harvest season comes. 😊
Huh, I've never really felt intimidated by Athena, but then again I work with her mostly as Athena Ergane (her handicrafts aspect). She demands "arete" (personal excellence) from her devotees, but not in a strict or overbearing manner. She just wants you to try your best and practice your crafts with as much skill as you can.
I found a protective chant you can use daily calling on her but shouldn't you do something else for her like burn some incense outdoors in a rose quartz offering bowl maybe ? I don't want to shortchange her and make her mad.
There were coins discovered known as the "Owl of Athena," which bear the Greek letters alpha, theta, and epsilon. These letters form an abbreviated term for "of the Athenians." The coin, valued at a drachma, was colloquially referred to as "glaukes," meaning "owl" in today's language. This is similar to how "loonies" are used in Canada to refer to their currency featuring a loon. The "Owl of Athena" coins were minted to honor the goddess Athena and make an excellent choice for a pendant.
Really good video Xristi, i was looking for a black salt recipe, it looks just like cooking do what you like and bless it 😆totally works for me I have all my sage ash from the last two years im good to go.
I've watched three or four videos on this now and it's been really interesting. We're all on a very similar wave with everything, and it's nice to feel that I'm not insane lol. I've been off of social media a long time now and it's helped my practice massively, and it's helped me figure out where I sit with it and what I'm capable of. I still use tumblr and pinterest for a lot of information as I don't know any other practitioners irl, so it's something I'm definitely on the lookout for.
I don’t have paranormal stuff happen all the time, but when i was a kid I saw a ghost twice, it was the same girl. I didn’t tell my mom til I was a teenager, I was afraid they’d call me crazy. Then she said she saw a kid too with an older woman. I think they were passing through they’re gone now.
In the opening portion of Book 1 of De rerum natura, Venus charms Mars and conquers him sexually and with her charms, and in this way she neutralizes all the belligerent energies in the psyche and in society, and procures the social contract (which is what Lucretius is praying for in that portion of DRN). These themes go all the way back to the cult of Inanna 7,800 years ago.
I CANT BELIEVE THIS IS HAPPENING ???! MY NAME IS NIX !!!!!!!!!! WOT THE !!!!?????? Im very spiritual, and gifted, and MY NAME IS NIXSTAR! I have been called this MY WHOLE LIFE AND IM 44 YEARS OLD !! I also cannot believe that Iv NEVER herd of NYX?????????????? OR that nobody has EVER told me about her!!!?? ITS LIKE SHE WAS BEING KEPT HIDDEN FROM ME ON PURPOSE !!!!???
I believe you that she is a deity to help you with your shadow work but she is not gentle and she will not baby you but she will be very compassionate and understanding when you say you can’t now ,she will understand now but she don’t want you to be lazy ,she will help you when you help yourself . Being with her is not easy but it’s not scary but her initiations are scary to me but at end of the day you will understand why she did that . Hecate Goddess will not let you “hang “ if you ask some questions ,you can get answers . She will not let you torture yourself thinking . She don’t like us to be overthinking ,sad or being in self destruction. Thank you so much .
You worship through your actions, by living in an honorable and balanced way. The Gods and the Goddesses do not want to be worshipped, trust me on that. Show them love and respect, and they will listen to you. Nyx has an intimidating energy, but she is an extremely sweet person. Try offering her some smokey quartz or black moonstone, maybe a little bit of both, but the tricky part is finding a piece that's compatible with her energy. Hope this helps.
Hey, 👋 just saw this video I do put my crystals in the dirt to make it connected with earth on the full moon then take it to my room I feel it helps. I also am connected to the faerie realm they have helped me find things
One word about store bought flowers, they are usually highly sprayed with pesticides because they are not meant for human consumption and because the industry does not tolerate any damage because flowers are solely designed as an aesthetic product. That said, I still wouldn't count them out; I'd just be selective where I'd use them and I'd mark on the bottle so I didn't forget the origin. If I were going to use them in a working, I'd make sure it's not one I'd eat/drink or put on my body. I am also not sure about burning them or putting in anointing oils (just in case I got it on my skin, but I might just be overly cautious.) either. BUT they'd probably be great for: magic powders, offerings to spirits/deities, etc, mojo bags - stuff like that I bet.
