Hello pagans and polytheists of Tumblr. As you may or may not know Spain is going through a flash fall. At least 100 people have lost their lives. Even though the rain will probably stop tomorrow, there's no way to know how long it'll take to rebuild the towns that have been swept away.

As humans and pets are being helped by family, friends and neighbours, I want to share some resources here to help those animals that lived in shelters until two days ago. If you are devoted to any deity related to animals or to any of these animals in particular, please consider donating as an act of worship.

Refugio Minipow gave shelter to 50 bunnies and guinea pigs. Luckily the owners have been able to evacuate all the animals to both their and their neighbours houses, but the shelter has been destroyed and they had just finished reforms. There's different ways to donate here.

Modepran is a dog shelter. The infrastructure has been damaged and some animals don't have a box to sleep in anymore. You can donate through PayPal here.

El Refugio de María is a dog shelter. The whole place is completely flooded and the poor dogs look so confused as you can see here. You can donate to PayPal [email protected]

Gatos Campo de Gibraltar is a cat shelter. They mostly need help trying to evacuate the cats to new houses but also rebuilding the infrastructure, you can donate to their PayPal [email protected]

I wanted to yap about upg as it relates to Diana/Hecate for a sec, and see if anyone else felt similarly?

Diana and Hecate have always been part of Trivia for me, so theyre the same goddess (or comflaited so heavily together they appear to be similar) so in part theyre both part of the Trivia epithet. I usually venerate them with Persephone in a phases of the moon kind of way. Diana the waxing/full, Persephone the waning, and Hecate the dark.

today was lower energy! i kept my space tidy and did my skincare with intention, being thankful to have the opportunity to have materials to do it ✨

taking care of yourself mindfully is just as important as doing workings or large offerings- you can't power the big days without restful days in between 🩷

Hi beautiful soul,

First let me frikken apologize for taking a million and one years to answer this. I mostly took a little while because I was trying to understand what kind of answer I was going to give you.. but I can only ever speak my truth and so, I’m gonna do as Diana always asks of me, just be me.

Offerings, altars, correspondences are all absolutely beautiful, but at the heart of it all I think not only Diana but all deities are looking for us to do the work. I mean the internal work. How do we align our lives with our highest selves and shed the bullshit. I mean quite literally.

With Diana, that was around boxes.. for a really long time because of my abusive and toxic childhood, I played the good girl. I kept my mouth shut I always did what I was told, Diana came in and basically taught me that wasn’t gonna work anymore, and it was time to rediscover my “wild.” That’s a big theme around her. How do we bust out the boxes society and even we have created for us, and be authentic and free. Especially in a world, where the patriarchy fears women who cannot be controlled and are in all over their sovereign power, we are needed more than ever and so Diana is some sense chooses these revolutionaries.

In my experience, she comes to those who are going to use their voice in some capacity. She is the archer after all, and has a bigger vision in store for this world.

Diana also led me to quite intimately get to know the moon as she rules the moon as you already know, but it isn’t actually just about the moon that lives in our external projected reality, for women, it is about our internal moon cycle. She guided me where I needed to go to re-remember the Divine wisdom of my female blood, and the cycles it goes through. Being a primary advocate for the Divine Feminine, she teaches us how we ebb and flow constantly with nature.. and for us to reclaim back our power to a certain extent, in a world that is constantly asking us to be on the move and the epitome of productivity, we have to reconnect to those cycles..

The dreams of our soul are another huge this I associate with Diana. She is closely tied to Sagittarius and Jupiter energy, which means she gets excited watching our expansion.. but she also knows how to help us get super aligned, and focused on our visions. So a way to honor her is actually to begin to call on her to help you get super laser-like about what you want to manifest as your life but do so with an authentic pure heart.. because as much as she is loving, she will also lovingly call you out when you are attempting to manifest out of your ego.

Then there’s obviously the obvious ones, like read her myth, journey into meditation with her, divination tools like Tarot Cards can be a cool way to connect with her, connect to moonstone as thats her main bad body crystal, channel art or writing with her in mind etc.. but there’s also books like Women Who Run With The Wolves or Code Red for example that help us connect to our blood and our wild and are all indirect ways you’re connecting with her and you don’t even know it.

Honor the moon. Spend time in nature. Be of service, whether that’s to coax the land or to help women in need… but most importantly, just purely, innocently ask.

Diana unlike some other deities doesn’t play hard to get. If you’re supposed to work with her, she’ll make that clear. Like I said earlier, she has bigger fish to fry, she has a higher vision than most of us realize.. and that’s what I ultimately I think she tries to express through her devotees.

Just before I “sign off” lol, I just wanted to say, this is totally my experience and it is only one experience.. yours might be 100% different thats okay. Trust your gut. I hope this helped.
