checked the clock at 4:44am two mornings in a row, had some good financial developments yesterday, learned a hard lesson on establishing boundaries, been finding pennies a lot more when out and about, and found a book on hermeticism while thrifting a couple days ago. hello hermes, always a pleasure
O Hestia of the hearth, of the home, and of the sacrificial flame, I praise You for Your kindness and generosity, which You have bestowed upon me so that I can be soft with those who need it. Your fire burns bright, Your love and care brighter, engulfing me like a mother's warm hug, washing over me like a hot bath after a long, tiring day. I find You in sips of my favorite tea, in the flicker of a scented candle, in fluffy blankets, in homecooked meals, in cozy pajamas. You are the roof over my head, keeping me safe and protected.
I ask You to bestow upon me and my loved ones the ability to show patience and grace to those who try to test us. I ask You to give us the strength to bite our tongues, lest we shoot off at the mouth and hurt not only ourselves, but those around us as well. I pray that You will give us the strength to endure just a while longer, until we are in a place where we can confront our problems head on with the focus and energy they require.
Through You, I am stronger than those who underestimate me β those who seek a reaction that shall never come. Hestia, I pray this in Your sacred name.
Offerings to Hestia
Hot apple cider
Candles that smell of pine

one must imagine sisyphus livin la vida loca
a quick psa to anyone recently getting into greek mythology and is a victim of tumblr and/or tiktok misconceptions:
-there is no shame in being introduced to mytholgy from something like percy jackson, epic the musical or anything like that, but keep in mind that actual myths are going to be VERY different from modern retellings
-the myth of medusa you probably know (her being a victim of poseidon and being cursed by athena) isn't 100% accurate to GREEK mythology (look up ovid)
-there is no version of persephone's abduction in which persephone willingly stays with hades, that's a tumblr invention (look up homeric hymn to demeter)
-as much as i would like it, no, cerberus' name does not mean "spot" (probably a misunderstanding from this wikipedia article)
-zeus isn't the only god who does terrible things to women, your fav male god probably has done the same
-on that note, your fav greek hero has probably done some heinous shit as well
-gods are more complicated than simply being "god of [insert thing]", many titles overlap between gods and some may even change depending on where they were worshipped
-also, apollo and artemis being the gods of the sun and the moon isn't 100% accurate, their main aspects as deities originally were music and the hunt
-titans and gods aren't two wholly different concepts, titan is just the word used to decribe the generation of gods before the olympians
-hector isn't the villain some people make him out to be
-hephaestus WAS married to aphrodite. they divorced. yes, divorce was a thing in ancient greece. hephaestus' wife is aglaia
-ancient greek society didn't have the same concepts of sexuality that we have now, it's incorrect to describe virgin goddesses like artemis and athena as lesbians, BUT it's also not wholly accurate to describe them as aromantic/asexual, it's more complex than that
-you can never fully understand certain myths if you don't understand the societal context in which they were told
-myths have lots and lots of retellings, there isn't one singular "canon", but we can try to distinguish between older and newer versions and bewteen greek and roman versions
-most of what you know about sparta is probably incorrect
-reading/waching retellings is not a substitute to reading the original myths, read the iliad! read the odyssey! i know they may seem intimidating, but they're much more entertaining than you may think
greek mythology is so complex and interesting, don't go into it with preconcieved notions! try to be open to learn!
O Athena, daughter born from the head of Zeus, goddess of wisdom and war, hear me; help me to keep myself safe, to protect myself and fend off those who wish to do me harm. Give me the strength and the courage to fight my battles with even just a fraction of the poise You possess. Let me come back stronger each time I am knocked down, knuckles bloodied yet ten times as powerful as before. Guide my mind to find the best path forward, to overcome each and every obstacle life puts in my way.
I thank You for each time You have guided my hand, sword gripped tight, to slay my demons. I thank You for each time You have sharpened my mind like the head of Your spear to keep me clever and quick-witted. I will continue to follow You wherever You may lead me.
Through You, I am strong. Through You, I am wise. Through You, I am free. Athena, I pray this in Your sacred name. For now and forever, I will remain Your faithful dedicant.
current altar setup :) lady athena's offerings on the left, lord hermes' offerings on the right. i'm planning on figuring something out for lord apollo and lord dionysus soon, but since i figured out that they were calling to me pretty recently and don't really have funds for any more non-necessities this month, it's gonna have to wait, unfortunately. next payday though...rubs my hands together deviously...
With the right combination of elements, it was theorized, any substance on earth might be formed.Β

My friend: witchcraft is not the solution to everything
Me: * setting herbs on fire and chanting in Latin *
Like hell it isnβt, Iβm getting the good crystals
This post was inspired by @herbwicc
Iβm sure thereβs plenty of people who do this, but for some reason it just crossed my mind that if I got a dip pen and some uv reactive ink I could write a completely invisible grimoire to anyone who might find it.
I think I might do this for other witchy stuff I write in case anyone finds my stash.

May your autumn be cozy, refreshing, and full of love.

Wanted to share some witchy apps that I have at the moment. 1: moon- shows the phases of the moon 2: herbs guide- a guide for herbs and plants and helps with memory and has a quiz-ish (Iβve never messed with the quiz yet) 3:mighty timer- brew timer for tea 4: golden thread tarot- gives you a single card reading also other card readings and helps you learn spreads 5: Labyrinthos academy- related to #5 made by same people and helps you learn how to read the cards 6: Dreamboard- dream journal (I just started using it) 7: ibis paint x- painting/drawing app if youβre like me you have sigil references or hate to use a lot of paper just to draw one sigil and this lets you save like 20 copies of the same thing so you can reuse a photo instead of wasting paper to get one sigil
i made my first tarot spread while practicing readings on my cousins over my birthday!
a spread to know more about your next significant other. let me know how your readings go! since this is my first spread, if you have any tips to tweak the questions to get better answers from the deck, let me know β¨
