1) Scry Half Asleep

Go to a quiet place, and dim the lights.

Close your eyes and ask your higher power a question.

Pay attention to what you see. Names… numbers… faces… dates.

Once the visions stop, open your eyes and note them down.

After a few days, see if and how they manifested.

I once saw an old clock and heard the word “Praha”. I ended up being sent to Prague on a fully paid trip unexpectedly.

At first, your visions will mean nothing. They will be shallow. A McDonald’s signage… A TV commercial… This is your intuition warming up. Soon enough, it will be sprinting. As long as you keep going.

2) Designate People to Tarot

To a beginner, the characters in tarot can feel out of reach and intimidating. Bring them down to earth.

Does Strength remind you of your mother? Is she calm and fearless in the face of danger?

Does The Fool remind you of Harry Potter? Is he young and untrained, but rich in nerve and courage?

Do you see yourself in the Seven of Pentacles? Always planting seeds that are never quite ripe enough for harvest?

The next time you read tarot, you will not be seeing strangers, but people you know by heart. This is how your intuition can connect to the cards.

3) Record Your Dreams

Keep a journal on your nightstand.

The moment you wake up, write down what you remember. No matter how meaningless, no matter how strange.

Did you see yourself naked in public? Or late for class? Perhaps falling from a building? The theme here is fear.

Did you see a younger version of yourself? In a playground? Maybe eating a snack no longer sold today? The theme is nostalgia.

Analyze your own dreams. Research them further if you like.

This is you bridging the gap between your conscious and subconscious. This is you taming your intuition.

4) Know People’s Zodiac Signs

Be curious about your teachers’, superiors’ and peers’ astrological personality, even if only through their Sun sign.

Watch how the Air signs harmonize with Fire, yet clash with Earth and Water.

See how a Scorpio is quietly strong in her intensity, while an Aries is loud with his.

Life is complicated, and people are complex. But if you can understand their basic instincts, you will make fewer foes and more friends.

More importantly, your intuition will be able to warn if a person wishes you harm.

5) Devour Literature

For all the intricacies of life, every feeling that has ever been felt has already been recorded.

See movies. Read books. Really hear the words. Really watch the gestures.

Understanding characters is a step to understanding people, which ultimately leads to understanding yourself.

Well, here goes nothing. I’m going to start the 15 days of deity devotion post series for Zeus. I don’t think I’ll post every single day for this series, but I’ll try to make it at least regular.

Day 1 - Basic Introduction

Name: Zeus.

Domain: Weather, justice, family, household, cities, law and order, the heavens, fatherhood, leadership, purification, fate, xenia, protection, etc.

Symbols: Eagle, bull, swan, thunderbolt, oak tree, crown, throne, stormcloud, mountains, etc.

Epithets: I’m not going to list all of them, but here are a few of my favorites! - Zeus Apemios (Averter of Ills) - Zeus Hykesios (of Suppliants) - Zeus Hypatos (Nost High) - Zeus Kataibates (Who Comes Down) - Zeus Kathersios (of Ritual Purification) - Zeus Ktesios (of the Household and Property) - Zeus Meilikhios (the Merciful) - Zeus Palamnios (Punisher of Murderers) - Zeus Phyxios (of Refuge) - Zeus Polieus (of the City) - Zeus Soter (of Safety, Preservation, and Deliverance from Harm) - Zeus Teleios (of Marriage Rites) - Zeus Xenios (of Hospitality)

Devotional Acts: I actually made a previous post on devotional acts for him, which I’ll put here.
