So, I do glamour magic in honor of working with Aphrodite. In the week that I started, I have not only been complimented on my lip shape, but also been told I smell like chocolate. And all I do is state affirmations while bathing and putting on lotion.

Don’t sleep on glamour magic.

Gave Aphrodite her very first offering today and I think she loved it! I was flooded with love and joy.

to sing, o! to sing to worshipful hestia! to rejoice, o! to rejoice before she who lays the banquet, who stokes the ever luminous fire so that the home where i rest my head is wrapped in soft protection. kind lady of the hearth, i sing to thee — kind lady of the home, i worship thee. i pray to you to create a place within this wild world that is safe for me, where i may lay my weary head, and eat without knowing hunger. bless my home, o luminous goddess, with your protective hands that knows the wills and ways of the fire — keep its rage banked so that i may rest in the plentifulness of its blessing.

The Ultimate Deity Journal Guide

Similar to my grimoire guide, this is a guide on deity journals.

What Is A Deity Journal?

A deity journal is a journal dedicated to a deity. It’s filled with information, offerings, devotional pieces, etc. If you like journaling or can’t give other physical offerings (like food, libations, etc.), it’s one of the best offerings out there.

What Do I Use For It?

Usually deity journals are physical journals and notebooks. Binders and folders work as well. I have seen deity journals online, using things like Notion or Google Docs. Those are a little harder to format, but are great if you don’t have a notebook or aren’t a fan of physical journals.

So, What Do I Put In It?

Devotional Artwork

Devotional Playlists

Pressed/Dried Flowers or Herbs

Prayers

Devotional Poems or Stories

Myths

Recipes

Stickers

Experiences or Dreams

Photos

The Basics (Name, Epithets, Domains, Family, Associations, Holidays, Symbols, Sacred Days, Sacred Animals, Etc.)

Incense, Herb, And Oil Blends

Drops Of Wax, Wine, Etc.

I think signs from the Gods are such a funny thing for me, because the signs I get from some of them completely contradict who I am.

The day that I realized Lord Apollon wanted to work with me it was supposed to be a thunder storm, an 80% chance. But when I woke up it was bright and sunny, the sunlight blasting through my window despite my black out curtains. Birds were chirping and I could feel the warmth, the smell of flowers starting to bloom.

Thing is, I hate the sunlight. I live in the middle of the desert, even if it's the dead of winter it never seems to go below 30°F, and even at that low the sun is so bright. I get overstimulated and uncomfortable in the heat and would honestly prefer if it was snowing 24/7.

I know the reasons I resonate with Lord Apollon. I'm very artistic, I play the flute, the piano, the ukulele, I'm a choir kid at heart. I love nature. I have a special interest in snakes, I absolutely lose my mind over cows, mice/rats, wolves, foxes. I would love to learn archery and have always been interested in it.

Signs don't always show why they want to work with you, I suppose is my point.

this might be such a dumb question , but what do you guys say when you give offerings ?

i’m really unsure as to what to say because anything i think of feels so stiff and formal . i feel like i need some ideas to branch off of .

opening your heart to Aphrodite is like:

a sudden burst of self love, you look in the mirror and you see the best version of yourself reflected

a heightened sense of adoration for your partner - i just looked at him and was so overcome by the love i felt that i burst into tears

inescapable yearning for the ocean, the ocean, the ocean

seeing the beauty in even the tiniest of things - have you seen light reflecting from the droplets on a spiders web? that is ethereal.

feeling a little more vivacious in what you do, but also more gentle

realising she's been around you the whole time, you just had to open your eyes

How to organise a grimoire

This is how I've decided to organise my grimoire now that I'm digitising it. I thought this may be of some benefit to other autistic/dyslexic practioners by sharing how my brain likes to formulate things. The trick is to categorise.

I have one large category I'm calling the chapter and every chapter has a number of categories within it and smaller sub categories underneath each one.

So my brain basically works like a russian nesting doll or like a very messy spider diagram. Organising it this way helps me to stay on track and stops me from getting overwhelmed. (I used this method in all my university essays and it helped push my grade up a lot).

I'm not writing it in any specific order but here's a list of what I've completed so far. Please feel free to take any of these. I hope this helps you with your own grimoire writing.

Theory 📚

Terminology

Paganism: historical context. Modern context. Core values.

New Age Spirituality: Development. Capitalism. Modern Example.

Cultural Appropriation: What it is. How it happens. How to avoid it. List of closed practices and red flags.

Thelema: Aleister Crowley. Development (egyptomania). Criticisms.

Conspiracy Theories: Development (root cause). Dangers. Examples. List of spiritual conspiracies. List of antisemitic stereotypes and propaganda.

Cults: What are they. How are they dangerous. How to recognise one (B.I.T.E model). List of religious/spiritual cults.

Satanic Panic: Historical development to our current satanic panic. The 1980's moral panic. Christian persecution complex.

KJV: Who was King James. The creation of the KJV. The KJO movement (evangelical and Christian fundamentalism. American Folk magic)

Witches in context: The modern witch. The post-modern witch. Historical context (England. Ancient Greece. Ireland).

Cats in context: Modern context. Familiars. Historical context (Egypt. Greece. China. England).

Transphobia: the idea behind terfism. How to recognise a terf. Examples of Terfism in spirituality (Lister). Dispelling myths and Misinformation.

Queerness: Erasure and queerphobia. Why queer people gravitate to witchcraft/paganism/Wicca. Examples (intersex. Gay relationships. Lesbian relationships. Asexuality).

Practical Basics 🔮

Terminology

How to make a magical space: What they are. Different types. Tools and their uses.

Deity Worship: Scientific Context (Neuroscience of Religiosity). Spiritual Context. Worship Vs working with. Finding a deity. Your religious rights. Critiquing your religious path. For example ↓

Just wanted to let you know, if you don’t have certain pendants or jewelry for your deity, that’s ok! You could always wear a crystal in their honor and it doesn’t even have to be one accociated with them if you don’t have one. They always appreciate you.

Currently I am wearing rose quartz for Aphrodite and citrine for Apollo, gifts for them. It makes me feel whole to have a peice of them with me.

Even if you can’t get jewelry, do something else, make a poem, color a picture, do something and that still counts as an offering.

They will always be greatful. I hate when people say that gods and goddesses don’t care about us because they do. We are their prized creation. They love us in a way a mother and a father would, but that’s for another time. They appreciate all you do. Even just showering or doing your hair in their honor would please them.

Keep all of this in mind.
