i am devoted to a few Gods now, including Lady Artemis, Lord Apollon, & Lady Aphrodite, & i worship/work with Lady Hestia, Lord Hypnos, & Lady Hekate to name a few

i am an eclectic witch, & my practice includes:

working with the greek pantheon

the lunar month

seasonal timing & changes

the elements

the sun & moon

music

crystals & candles

hearth & kitchen magick, glamour magick, & gardening + green witchcraft

spellwork

thank you averter of evil, for shining light on the positive things in my life & allowing me to focus on them instead of the negativity .

thank you healer apollo, for reminding me of you when i needed it most .

how to tread lightly on the earth as the other creatures do, how to enjoy, respect, & care for the space we are given the opportunity to inhabit .

gentleness comes not from the absence of violence, but despite the absence of it .

the sun carries energy, showers the land with light, yet we stopped worshipping him . we bask in his rays daily, we pray for him to peek out from behind the clouds of a thunderstorm, yet we do not think to thank him .

let this serve as a reminder to thank the sun for what he does for us & our planet ☉
