wildcard- answer whichever three question still open that you'd be interested in talking about.
I'm terribly indecisive when it comes to as many options as the prompt list had, so I tried to choose a few that wouldn't turn into mini-essays.
5. Do you work with a Pantheon? I have a mini-pantheon that makes up the Luciferian and dual faith side of my practice. It's a bit of a spectrum, with Lucifer, Azazel, and the Serpent solidly on the Luciferian side of things, Eve toeing the line as someone I venerate in a Luciferian context but who is still viewed as a very Christian figure by most, and then St Expedite, St Cyprian, and St Justina as more traditional saints. While I consider my saint magic to be a step removed from my Luciferian practice, they're still essentially all from the same "pantheon" in that all figures involve come from Christianity, the folk beliefs that have come from it, or the broader apocryphal texts.
On the Dionysian side of things, he is currently the only Greek god I have any sort of relationship with. There are others I have an interest in investigating further, but for the time being I'm focusing on the spirits and deities I work with and venerate already.
13. Do you have a magical name? I have a craft name in the flavour of it being a pen name of sorts… I value my privacy online, even in occult communities, so it adds an extra layer of separation for me. When I was Wiccan I was given a magic name meant to be used in a ritual/magic setting, but for a number of reasons it doesn't really suit me anymore. Since I don't currently do anything that would require additional names beyond the aforementioned craft pen name, I haven't chosen another to replace it.
84. What real life witch most inspires your practice? I'm going to get a bit sappy here and say it's probably @tyetknot. Don't get me wrong, there are a number of incredible practitioners whose writing and work I respect deeply and find very inspiring. Honourable mentions go to Sarah Anne Lawless for how formative her old blog was to me, @graveyarddirt for the incredible glimpses into her devotional traditions that she allows and for nudging me towards investigating Amanita Muscaria as a plant ally, and @lailoken as someone who writes about their own personalized practice and makes incredible tools for both their craft and others. Still, Tyet has been a good friend since the start of my journey into magic and the occult. He helped me find my footing in Wicca, and he was supportive when it turned out to not be the right fit for my path. Though our beliefs and practices are very different these days, I have such deep respect for both his experience and his depth of knowledge about magical topics and history. I could write a long list of little things he's inspired me to pursue, from my dabbling in ceremonial magic to my interest in creating one's own incense. He has also always tried to navigate magical/pagan communities with integrity, and strives to hold bad actors accountable. This has actively damaged his place in communities where those in positions of power were far too willing to be complacent, but he went on to help create and support new ones that are thriving in ways that the stubborn old guard never will. His altars to the goddess Isis also have immeasurable drip.
