Daily Altar Set Up May 27, 2026

I haven't been able to set up a daily altar since I took my last one down in December 2025. But now I have one AND I don't have to take it down for festival altars any more. On the left is my devotional jewelry in a pretty art plate.

Gods Left to Right:

Left side: Hera Antheia; Nanše; Nanaya (small black/white figures), they have a they/them bracelet that can't be seen; Hygeia; Asklepios; Epione (blue candle); Akeso, Iaso, Panakeia, Aigle (beads on Asklepios); Ninisina Gula; Damu (snake ring); Nam Ninĝirsu'a (dagger on wall); Uraš & Gaia (globe); Eiar (purple stone); Athena [as Erganê, Phrónēsis, Panhellênia, Paionia]; Nisaba Geštug (pen); Utu Gešnu'dikuda Zalage (orange disc on wall). Right side: Ninĝu Ereškigal'am; Namtar (bracelet); Ninazu (pendant); Nanna (blue disc on wall) Gugal-ana; Enlil & Ninlil (framed image on wall); Gibil (red candle); Nisaba Gunida; Damgalnuna; Enki (attached to her statue); Nirah (snake); Inana*; Ningirima (center bell)

*I need to switch out the white beads Ĝeštinana for black beads Dumuzid on Inana because I didn't celebrate Emesh this year so I didn't ritually switch them.

The honey jar for Ereškigal finally had to be discarded so her gifts now are the ghost candle holder and her tablet. I need to get her some non-perishable sweets. I also discarded Hygeia's large candle because I found tea candles where the scent is much stronger.

I wanted to have the Oikos Gods on this altar, so I could have my gorgeous Zeus-Hera statue; but yeh that definitely wouldn't have worked 😅

AKA Pop Culture Paganism

Definition - Using magick systems, following religions, and working with characters from books/movies/TV shows

Examples (from people I know)

Working with Crowley from Good Omens as a deity

Using DC superheroes as deities in rituals, they primarily used them when casting circles as they were also Wiccan

Offerings to Vegeta for gym gains (my brother)

Incorporating Legend of Zelda religious beliefs into their own

How Does this Work (from a non-shifter perspective)?

Many people who work with pop culture deities are not shifters, so I will go into how they believe it works (or how the people I have talked to believe it works).

People who practice pop culture paganism believe they are working with the egregore of these people and religions.

Egregores are a type of entity that forms when a group of people are giving their attention, emotions, and thoughts towards the same thing. This doesn't just happen with media, as egregores are formed when many people feel large emotions, and this can occur everywhere from church to a sports stadium.

However, in the case of pop culture paganism, these people work with the energies that have been formed through the attention of fans of the media, just like they would a deity (which some also believe to be long-standing egregores).

In the chance that the person wants to work with an OC or religion from an original work, they are capable of creating a servitor (less complex egregore usually created by one person) as well.

How Does this Work (shifter perspective)?

From the perspective of someone who believes in shifting and the multiverse, pop culture paganism could be explained as working with these deities from another reality where they actually are deities.

In my opinion, this is a tier of channeling as you are in contact with something from another reality but are not actively channeling that through yourself.

Do I work with pop culture deities?

Not really but kinda, by that I mean that I don't tend to interact with them as deities, but I do view the people in different realities as able to assist me if I needed them to. I also regularly channel people from different realities for advice or to use their strengths as my own, and from an outside perspective this would be pop culture paganism

Either way, I view it as a completely valid form of worship and magick system. People get great results and a lot of good emotions through it, and for people with religious trauma, it can be a good way for them to practice their own spirituality without existing biases.

As the word, ‘Celtic’ covers six nations with different pantheons, myths, culture, language, and folklore. That while overlap has differences.

The six nations being: (1-3 being Gaelic, 4-6 being Brythonic)

Ireland (Irish)

Scotland (Scottish Gaelic)

Isle of Mann (Manx)

Wales (Welsh/Cymraeg)

Cornwall (Cornish)

Hey guys!

I figured I’d share my personal experience with the Clair Senses as a way for you to get to know me. First, here’s the order I’ll go in and what I’m referring to with each sense:

Major Clair-Senses:

Clairvoyance: the experience of extrasensory sight (typically connected to the third eye), clairvoyance can come in the form of vivid dreams, visions, mental images and mini-movies, as well as the sight of auras, spirits, beings, and energy. This can also be present when experiencing pre, present, and retro cognition.

Claircognizance: the experience of knowing something to be true in an instant of insight or moment of downloaded information, with no processing or interpretation necessary. Claircognizance is connected to rapid awareness related to individuals, energy, or situations surrounding you, and is the root of pre, present, and retro cognition, especially when in a purely knowledge based format (without vision).

Clairaudience: the experience of hearing sounds such as music, words, voices or noise from different planes of existence or reality. Clairaudience can range in clarity form distorted or partial hearing to fully-formed messages.

Clairempathy: the experience of sensing the emotions of those around you and being aware of emotional energy. Clairempathy relates to the knowledge of how actions and emotions are perceived by others, and the ability to influence the emotions of others within a situation or interaction. Psychic protection and shielding is essential to the healthy practice of clairempathy.

Clairesentience: the experience of clear physical feeling in relation to emotion, energy, ailments, blockages, injuries, or intuition, thus, clairsentience is the physical connection or reaction. This is often conflated with clairempathy, but while empathy is the awareness of the emotion or energy, clairsentience is the direct experience of or with it, and also requires protection and shielding for healthy practice.

Minor Clair-Senses:

Clairtangency: the experience of perceiving facts through contact or proximity to a person or object. This sense interacts or pairs with other Clair-senses, but means that the senses are triggered by proximity or contact with the object or person the other Clair-senses relate to, such as picking up a coin and receiving knowledge or energy from the previous owner. This is also called psychometry.

Clairsalience: the experience of smelling fragrances or odors that are not a part of your current environment, often relating to spirits, energy, messages, or memory. This sense can lead to the use of the other Clair-senses.

It isn’t pretty, but not all spells are.

I’ve been slacking in my practice recently, but as the weather is warming up I am starting to come back to life.

This is an air-cleansing, aromatherapy spell that can be easily passed off as a homemade air freshener if you’re a closeted witch.

What you’ll need:

- Clean water

- Vanilla extract

- Dried Cloves

- Cinnamon

- A single mustard seed (for us Christian witches)

Toss all ingredients into a dipper and leave over stove on medium heat. The smell will waft through your home in no time!

As the water level goes down just keep adding more.

WATCH YOUR POT. Don’t burn your house down. That’s the wrong kind of cleansing.
