Aphrodite Deity Guide
Aphrodite is the Greek goddess of love, sex, fertility, and beauty. She is known by the Romans as Venus. I've become interested in working for Aphrodite recently.
This is from my personal grimoire but I tried to remove anything that is an opinion or bias.
Quote from Trisha Mateer's "Aphrodite Made Me Do It"; banner by me.
Who is Aphrodite?
Strongly associated with love and beauty, Aphrodite is also worshipped as a sea-fairing goddess as she is associated with the ocean.
Some places, most notably Sparta, Thebes, and Cyprus honored her as a goddess of war.
In the epic Theogony, the author tells how Aphrodite was born from the severed genitals of Uranus, personification of heaven. The genitals were tossed into the sea by Cronus and out rose Aphrodite.
The goddess gets her namesake from the Greek work aphros which means “foam”.
Parents and Siblings of Aphrodite
Uranus
Sometimes it’s said that she is the daughter of Zeus and Dione.
If she was the daughter of Ouranos, her siblings include the Titans, such as Cronus, Rhea, Hyperion, and others.
If Aphrodite was one of the daughters of Zeus, she had many half siblings since he had multiple affairs. Hephaestus, Ares, Athena, Artemis, Apollo, Hermes, Dionysus and Persephone were all her half siblings, and she didn’t have any direct siblings
Aphrodite’s Lovers
Hephaestus is her husband
Ares is her most prominent affair
Anchises, a mortal with whom she gave birth to Aeneas
Adonis, a handsome young man who was killed by a boar while hunting and was lamented by women at the festival of Adonia. (britannia)
Dionysus
Zeus
Hermes
Phaethon
Posideon
Butes
Aphrodite’s Children
From the mortal Anchises, Aeneas, a mythical hero of Troy and Rome, and Lyrus/Lyrnus.
From Butes, Eryx, Meligounis and several more unnamed daughters.
Hymenaios, Iacchus, Priapus, the Charites (Graces: Aglaea, Euphrosyne, Thalia) from Dionysus
Phobos, Deimos, Harmonia, the Erotes (Eros), Anteros, Himeros, Pothos from Ares
Hermaphroditos, Priapus from Hermes
Rhodos from Posideon
Beroe, Golgos, Priapus (rarely) from Adonis
Astynous from Phaethon
Priapus from Zeus.
Peitho from an unknown father. Though Peitho is also considered one of Aphrodite’s epithets.
Epithets
“…she is Cythereia, she of Cythêra; and Cypria, she of Cyprus, where at Paphos she had her great sanctuary. Living in islands her way was ever on the sea.”
-Jane Harrison Myths of Greece and Rome
Aphrodite Urania (also spelt Ourania)
Aphrodite Pandemos
Venus Genatrix
Peitho, meaning persuasion,
Philommeidḗs, which means "smile-loving", but is sometimes mistranslated as "laughter-loving".
Cypris and Cythereia for her association of Cyprus and Cythera
On Cyprus, Aphrodite was sometimes called Eleemon
In Athens, she was known as Aphrodite en kopois ("Aphrodite of the Gardens”)
At Cape Colias, a town along the Attic coast, she was venerated as Genetyllis "Mother".
Aphrodite Euploia ('of the fair voyage')
Across the Greek world, she was known under epithets such as:
undefined
The Spartans worshipped her as:
undefined
Misc Notes
Many of the epithets are names or titles from various cults that worshipped Aphrodite.
Prostitutes identified Aphrodite as their patron deity.
A male version of Aphrodite known as Aphroditus was worshipped in the city of Amathus on Cyprus. Aphroditus was depicted with the figure and dress of a woman, but had a beard and was shown lifting his dress to reveal an erect phallus. This gesture was believed to be an apotropaic symbol, and was thought to convey good fortune upon the viewer. Eventually, the popularity of Aphroditus waned as the mainstream, fully feminine version of Aphrodite became more popular, but traces of his cult are preserved in the later legends of Hermaphroditus.
It’s likely that Aphrodite was brought over from the Eastern Mediterranean, hinting to Phoenician goddess Astarte or the near Eastern goddess Inanna (Ishtar).
The Petra Tou Romaniou also named “Aphrodite’s Rock” is a sea stack said to be a marker of where she was born. This rock is by a beach in Paphos, Cyrpus.
She was specifically the protectress of city magistrates.

I know literally no one cares but this is my creative outlet sooooooooooo
Here’s the start of a story I’m writing called. “Salem Witch Commite”.
P.O.V Narrator
Witches have been around for millenniums. Long before the Salem witch trials, but since then they have been hidden in the shadows, and whether you like it or not, they've been watching. They are not the only ones, amongst the witches are the creatures of nightmares demons and their underlings. Over the decades' witches have been forgotten, misinterpreted, and even fetishized. Nowadays the witches' numbers have been reduced to a misly 105, and that is on a global scale. with these low numbers, these witches have created a coven, the Salem witch committee. this committee fights everything their ancestors were burned and drowned for, mostly demons. this coven has 7 locations each consisting of 15 members, each is found in a different continent. now on to their legend
P.O.V: Blair
"We should totally go get our palms read together!" says the lady from across the street. "You know all those places are shams right?" says her companion "Ya but it'll be fun. So you free next Saturday?" "Hey, weirdo what have a told you about starring at people through the window of my favorite coffee shop," Jade says while waving my Vienna coffee in front of my face. "That it's wrong and if I keep doing it we might get kicked out and or banned indefinitely," "Exactly now cut that shit out and drink you crappy coffee," "Fine," Now if you can't tell from my name I'm a witch and so is my best friend jade we live in Boston and we and a bunch of others are apart of the Salem witch committee "hey, can get out of here I'm getting bored," I say as I dramatically fall deeper into the booth we're sitting in. "Sure, come on lazy bones!" she says while slowly pulling me from the corner of the booth. as we silly walk towards the door, we come face to face with the disgustingly handsome Alec. "Oh, h-hey Alec what are you doing here," Who jade is crushing on big time. "Oh hey guys just picking up my mobile order," "Oh well we could wait fo-" "yeah well we're actually just heading out, so see you at the clubhouse," I interrupt while pulling Jade past them. "What the hell was that all about?" "Sorry I just could not watch you drool over them any longer," "I don't know what you're talking about," "Yeah, sure dipshit,"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
P.O.V: Blair
*Ding* *Ding* “as the clock strikes 12 the witching begins,” Tristen says, trying to sound all cool and shit. “Its noon,” Jessica retorts back. “Shut up I know just… let me take roll, Jessica,” “here,” “Jade,” “here,” “Issac,” “here,” “Alec,” “here,” “Blair,” “here,” “Joan,” “here,” “Jeremy,” “here,” “Eric,” “here,” “Taylor,” “here,” “Malissa,” “here,” “Marcus,” “here,” “Olie,” “here,” “Alex,” “here,” “D.J,” “here,” “And of course I, Tristen, is here. Now on to some serious business we have a job. Our sources say that a family in Maryland has been hexed. It should be an in and out job so I’m only sending 3 of you Jade, Alec, and Blair,” What? I understand why he would send Jade and me, we have great teamwork. But. Jade and Alec. We all see how they act around each other. They act like they’re in love while at the same time constantly saying that the other does not have a crush on them yet still being extremely obvious with their crush. Did I do something wrong? Cause last time I checked, I did nothing to warrant the cruel and unusual punishment of being their third wheel. But here I am sitting in the back of Alec’s car watching them laugh at another one of Jades’ flirty jokes. I hate it here.
“Here we are ladies, 8052 Marigold ln, Burkittsville Maryland,” Alec says while parallel parking in front of a fairly new house. “Are you sure no one’s home. If we break-in and someones in there it’s gon get real awkward real quick,” Jade says while picking the front doors lock. “Yeah, Tristen said he checked the traffic cameras 3 times and their security systems 5 times. Isn’t that right Alec,” “Yep,” Once Jade gets the door unlocked we move our things to the kitchen table. Once everything is set up we split up to cleanse the house I take the main floor, Alec takes the upper floor, and Jade takes the basement. “1,2,3 let’s get hexy,” we all say in unison. Yeah, I know its cringe but it’s lowkey funny. I light my blue sage and start wandering around my floor. I enter what seems to be a little girls room I am overwhelmed with a dark menacing feeling. As I walk farther into the room I watch as the smoke from the blue sage flows towards the closet. As I inch towards the closet I find the owner of the room. Whats seems to be a little blonde girl, no older than 10, is sitting in the front corner of her closet. Which is odd since Tristen said there was no one home. Hopefully, she doesn’t call her parents. I reach to turn her over and once I do my heart drops. I come face to face with a little girl whose skin has been ripped off her face and neck, and as I watch the blood dry I notice that one of her eyes has been removed while the other seems to have her eye burnt. As I continue to stare I feel my breath start to hitch, that’s when I knew I had to alert my friends. So my dumbass decided to scream which I guess got the point across.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
P.O.V: Jade
Damn, they have a pretty small basement looks like I got the long end of the stick. Sage? Lit. Bad energies? Gone. Dangerous entities? Removed. Hotel? Trivago. Now that that’s done all that’s left to do is to hide some selenite and meditate. “AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH” what the fuck was that? Who just screamed. I rush up the stairs not even worrying about the fact that I just dropped a handful of selenite on to the floor. I start sprinting around the main floor when I see Blair sitting in front of the closet in a little girl’s room. She seems scared which is weird for Blair. Wow, shes even shaking. “Hey. Hey! Look at me. You are okay everything is going to be fine. Now tell me what’s got you so spooked babe,” I say while gently caressing her hands. She then moves one hand out of my grip and points towards the closet. I then turn my head to see the horrific murder scene for a little girl. “Ah shit, it’s okay everything is okay,” I say trying to reassure her. “Who screamed,” Alec says while barging in armed with their lucky swiss army knife. “Yeah, Alec everything is fine. Blair just found the massacred carcass of a little girl so shes a little shaken up about it,” “What do you mean massacred, holy shit. How did this even happen no one has been home,” They say while taking a closer look at the body. “ And by the looks of how much blood has dried, she would have had to be dead for at least an hour,” The lights cut out. “That would be my doing,” says a dark and eerie voice from all around us. “Blair get up we need the power of 3,” She stands up and we all hold hands. Alec turns on their flashlight and shines it on the floor for us all to see. For some reason, the floor is engulfed in a black goo like substance that is flowing in our direction. Alec uses their light to find the source by following the flow. Once the light reaches the door we become face to face with a being of absolute darkness. A tall, oddly humanly shaped, drippy being with bright orange eyes is staring at us and is smiling, and just as I thought I couldn’t get any worse it opens its mouth to let the little girl’s eye drop out. “Sorry just wanted a little snack before damning all of humanity to something worse than death,” it says quite obnoxiously. “ Who do you think you are,” Alec barks out. It seems to appear right in front of our faces just to say “Not who but what. A demon to be exact but for tonight I will just be your worst nightmare,” And before I knew it the only sound I could register was *bu dump..bu dump..bu dump..bu dump...bu dump...bu dump….bu dump…..bu dump……..* I look to my left to see that the demon had bludgeoned Alecs Heart out and the sound I was hearing was their heart dying. Before I could even utter a single word the demon looked at us and said “You’re next,” and before I knew it Blair was pulling us out of the room and all I could do was cry and call out to Alec as if they were still alive. Blair and I turn a corner and I can feel something grip on to my leg and as I feel myself being dragged down the hall I see Blair start to sob.
I also started drawing the characters so here’s the first finished one
That’s all for today
i hurt my good ankle, does the witch side of tumblr have a cure me potion? :(
I have a bunch of wonderful subliminal ideas and am willing to help out with affirmations and the aesthetic part and shit but I really don’t want to do it by myself and was hoping someone wanted to make a joint YouTube channel. I can bring ideas, some affirmations, and a mood board to the table and I want the other person to do the editing and uploading part🧿🖤
Deity Work vs Deity Worship
What is deity worship?
Deity worship is when you venerate and revere a deity/deities. There are many ways to do this; there is no right or wrong way to worship a deity, it is whatever you feel drawn to do for them. Many people in the pagan community do this in their own unique way, while some will follow more organized, ritualistic ways of worshipping their deities.
I will go more into detail about the various ways to venerate deities below.
What is deity work?
Working with a deity is a more intensive, interactive relationship. Working with a deity often involves actively communicating with them through things such as divination (tarot, oracle, pendulums, dice, osteomancy, shufflemancy etc) and psychic abilities. It can also involve them being more active in your practice, guiding you in both mundane and magical ways. A very common way deities work with someone is by doing shadow work with them, but there are many other things people do with deities that fall under the category of ‘deity work’.
How do I work with a deity/deities?
There are a lot of ways that you can work with a deity. As mentioned above a very common way of working with them is by doing shadow work with them. They will often guide the practitioner on various prompts to focus on. Another common way that you can work with deities is doing spellwork with them, such as doing protections, cleansing, banishment, and even baneful magic with them.
Some of the things my deities work with me on is teaching me about energy work and weather magic.
As with deity worship, there are no right or wrong ways to work with a deity.
Altars
Many people will set up altars for their deities as a way to either work with or worship them (or both!). Here are some popular things you can put on your altar!
Candles
Statues
Incense holders/fountains
Altar cloth
Decanter
Spell jars
Crystals
Herb pouches
Sigils
Books
Offering dish
Cups
Divination tools
There are many other items you can put on your altars for your deities. This is just a short list, both of items I myself have put on altars before, and things I see others put on their altars.
A lot of people also use their altars as a place to connect with their deities (which can get into deity work) as well as a place to do spellwork.
I’m going to answer some common questions about altars I see here.
Can I put two/multiple deities on the same altar?
Yes, you can. Some people (like myself) even create altars for entire pantheons, rather than individual deities. In addition, these deities do not all need to be from the same pantheon either. I have had altars where Loki and Leviathan were sharing the same general space (with different items in different sections for just one of them, and some items being placed there for both of them).
Can I add/remove/use things from my altar?
Yes. You can (and should) clean your altar and you are of course allowed to use the items on your altar. Many people will store their divination tools on their altar, for instance.
What if I do not have space for an altar/can’t have a physical altar?
Digital altars are a very valid practice, I currently do not have enough space for all the altars I would want for the deities I worship/work with. I have seen people make altars in Minecraft, on Picrew, and I have altars set up on Pinterest as well. I have also used Pinterest’s collage function to make moodboards for my deities in order to honor them; these can count as digital altars as well. Some people make their own discord servers and use that space as a digital altar for their deities (I also have this set up for my deities too). On these digital altars, you can include pictures of how the deity appears to you, pictures of statues to represent them; themes surrounding what they rule over, colors, animals and plants they may be associated with, and much more. Just like a physical altar, you can get very creative with what you include.
Will my deities get mad if someone else touches the altar?
I’ve heard (and also experienced myself) times where family members or roommates will mess with someone’s altar. There seems to be a lot of fear with this; people are afraid it will anger the deity if the altar is accidentally touched. However, deities are very understanding and know that most times the person is unaware that the space is an altar; they won’t get mad if their stuff is accidentally touched, removed, or if someone else disposes of old offerings.
Now, if someone is messing with it on purpose, with malicious intent, that might be different. However, especially for those in the broom closet, the deity is still not going to be mad at the practitioner or punish you in any way.
Moving on from altars, I’m going to answer some questions I see when it comes to deity worship/work, before fully getting into the difference.
Do certain deities not get along?
Again this is something I see asked a lot online, both for deities of the same pantheon and deities of different pantheons. This comes down to personal experience. Many people think and might assume that deities who did not get along in their myths do not get along in real life either. However, at least for me, this is rarely the case. Remember, these are higher beings and the myths are just that -stories, that have been made up by humans. The myths do not reflect how they may be in real life.
There are definitely instances where deities genuinely do not get along; I have experienced this in my own practice. However, this is oftentimes not because of myth-related disagreements but rather because the deities disagree on what may be best for the practitioner. This might also occur simply because the deities' energies do not mix well, it’s less that they don’t get along and more so that their energies clash with each other. This does not mean that you should stop working with these deities together if this is the case. Sometimes opposing energies are necessary.It’s also always a good idea to ask the deities themselves how they feel about the situation and what they think you should do.
Will my deities get mad if I’m not able to give consistent offerings?
This is another question I see a lot. Deities understand that we are human, we have our mundane lives to live, and we may not always have time or money to be able to buy offerings for them. There are many ways to give offerings to your deities, and some can be free and non-physical offerings too. I’ll go through some offerings I give to my team a lot, and some offerings you can do that are more non-physical or broom closet friendly.
Doing shadow work in their honor/with them if you have a working relationship with them
Cooking/eating in their honor
Bathing in their honor
Putting on makeup in their honor
Any form of self-care
Doing art/reading in their honor
Going on a walk/drive
Cleaning in their honor
Practicing divination
Journaling
Writing letters to them
There are many other offerings you can give to them, this is just a list of some of the things I do and some common things I see others do as well.
Do I need to pray to my deity/deities? How do I pray?
Prayer is often a big part of deity worship, however it is definitely not a requirement. Prayer is when you ask your deities for something. You can do this in a very ritualistic way, lighting candles, sitting on the floor, etc, or you can do this in a very casual manner (like sending a quick prayer to them on your way to work). Again, there is no right or wrong way to pray to the deities you worship, there are many different ways you can do this.
How do I start deity work?
Starting deity work will often involve reaching out to the deity/deities you are wanting to work with. You can do this in many ways, it can be as simple as calling out the deities name and saying ‘I would like to work with you, I’d like you to be more involved in my practice’. Using divination tools such as tarot or oracle cards, pendulums, spirit boards, etc can also help greatly in communicating and developing a relationship with the deity you are wanting to work with.
Is my deity mad at me because…
The answer to this is most likely ‘no’. It takes a lot to piss a deity off. This question often comes from people who grew up with Abrahamic religions that taught them that making mistakes would anger ‘god’. The pagan gods do not get angry because you make mistakes or are not perfect. It is very hard to actually offend them, unless you do something purposefully to try to piss them off, you will not make them angry. They might get frustrated at us sometimes for falling into the same cycles and bad habits, but this is much different than them actually being angry.
I also want to address blowing out candles specifically with this question. Some people see it as rude to blow out candles that are devoted to specific deities or used as a form of divination. It is not rude to blow out candles at all, if you have finished communicating with your deity, or are simply moving to a different room/leaving your house, or need to blow it out for whatever reason, you can absolutely do so. The deities do not see it as rude and will not get angry at you for doing this. They might be a bit sad/disappointed, but again this is different than them being genuinely angry. It's like having to tell a friend you have to get off a call with them, even though you still want to talk to them. They might be a bit disappointed but they will understand.
Is __ a sign from my deities?
The answer to this is complicated; discernment is very important when it comes to answering this question. An easy way to answer this is by asking the deity through divination if whatever you experienced really was a sign. Sometimes deities will send signs in unusual ways (even through social media, yes I know that’s controversial but it does happen sometimes).
The other question to ask is: did I ask for a sign? There have been times where I will ask for signs and they may show me the sign in a weird way (like asking to see a specific type of bird in my area, and then seeing it on a postcard, for instance).
Can I reach out to deities? How do I reach out to a deity?
Yes! As long as the deity is not from a closed/gated practice you are not part of, you can reach out to whoever you want! There are many different ways you can go about reaching out to them; I first recommend doing research on the deity you are wanting to reach out to (this in itself may get their attention and let them know you are interested in them). A very simple way to reach out to them is simply by calling their name, and telling them you wish to work with them or are going to be honoring them.
What are closed/gated practices?
Closed and gated practices are usually religions where you need to either be born or initiated into the culture in order to practice it. Many of these practices are closed or gated because of other cultures and religions attempting to appropriate these practices, or erase things within these cultures.
What do I do if a closed practice deity reaches out to me, but I’m not part of that culture?
This is going to get controversial, but this is my opinion especially as someone who is part of several closed practices myself. In my opinion, while practices themselves can be closed, deities are not. Deities are independent beings from us, they do what they want outside of human rules and laws. If a deity from a closed practice reaches out to you, my advice is to do tons of research first. There are some closed practices that have officials who can help you with figuring out if a deity from that culture truly is reaching out to you, and can give advice on what to do moving forward. My other piece of advice is to not ignore the deity calling you. There have been some instances where I ignored the call from some of the closed practice deities I now work with, and while it didn’t necessarily anger them that I ignored them, it did annoy them and they were incredibly persistent with their presences until I did acknowledge them.
What do I do if I need to take a break from practicing? How do I let my deities know?
Breaks are very healthy and help with preventing burnout when it comes to practicing witchcraft or being pagan in general. If you feel you need to take a break, I recommend just letting the deities you are working with or worshipping know in whatever manner you usually use to communicate with them (a very easy way is just telling them ‘hey, I need to take a break’). They will understand and they will wait for you to be ready to resume practicing with them. Like with previously mentioned situations, they will not get angry at you for simply needing to step away for a bit. A lot of deities may even continue to be around you while you are on break as well, to show that they still care about you and are willing to support you.
How do I balance working with multiple deities?
This is, of course, dependent on you as a person. I know some people who make schedules, while others will allow the deities to decide when to show up in their practice. Since I work with quite a few deities and pantheons, generally I dedicate each week to a different pantheon, and dedicate each day to a different deity from that pantheon. I also have picker wheels that I use for this; this is both to make it more ‘fun’ for my ADHD brain (lol) and also to allow the deities to decide who wants to be more present during the week. Sometimes, deities may also decide to be more or less present depending on what you’re going through in life and what type of guidance you are needing. There may be times where a deity will take a step back so that someone else can step forward to take over guiding you a bit more. This is all very normal when it comes to deity work; not every deity needs the same amount of attention and not all of them will always be equally present, and that's ok!
There are also sometimes where a deity will decide they have taught you all you need to know, and they may discuss ending the working relationship with you entirely. This does not necessarily mean you will never see them again, but it may mean that they show up a lot less, as they have guided you in all the ways they feel you needed them for. Oftentimes, this will happen years and years into you working with them, and you may even realize that this is going to happen before an official discussion about it is mentioned. You can, of course, continue to honor and worship them even after they have officially stopped working with you.
Another subject I want to address here is that while you can absolutely reach out to and generally work with multiple deities, it's also important to remember to not rush into things. At the beginning of my practice, the only deities I had around me for years were Hades and Loki. After I had been researching and practicing for at least 6-7 years, that's when new deities started approaching me and when I felt comfortable reaching out to some deities as well. I know that working with multiple deities can be overwhelming, which is why I have covered how to manage this so thoroughly. If you are a fairly new practitioner who has multiple deities who are interested in working with you, or if you are interested in working with them, I definitely advise that you take it slow. Research the deities who are reaching out or who you are interested in, learn about them, and slowly start contacting them as you feel comfortable. This is still something I do to this day.
Everyone’s practice is different; I know people who have been working with the same deity for 10+ years and have hardly interacted with other deities during their practice. On the other hand, I also know people who were approached by several deities at once in the beginning of their practice, and who were consistently approached by various deities over the years as well. It all depends on the deities around you, what they feel you need, and ultimately, what you feel is best for your practice. Whether you wish to work with just a few deities, or many, that is up to you; just make sure that you are also taking your own health into account while doing so!
How do I know if a deity is reaching out to me?
I discussed signs a little bit earlier on in this post, however I did want to cover this question specifically. There are many ways deities can send signs to us or let us know they are around. For someone who is more in-tune with their psychic abilities, they may feel different energies when different deities are around. They may even be able to see, hear and possibly even smell the deities around them at times as well and this may be a way to figure out if someone new is around. Another easy method you can use is doing divination to check and see if a new deity is around. As I mentioned above, deities do use social media sometimes to send us signs and sometimes even to show us that they are reaching out. This is another instance where discernment is important; if you interact with a video about a certain deity on Tiktok, for instance, it's a lot more likely the app will start showing you more videos about that deity. So it's important to use other methods (such as divination) to figure out if a deity is truly reaching out, or if it's just social media’s algorithms at play. As I addressed above, sometimes deities will also send signs to you in your mundane life too; while it is important to pay attention to events that may be signs, I would recommend not obsessing over it. If a deity is reaching out, they will make themselves known to you one way or another.
How do I figure out who is reaching out to me?
There may be times where you know that someone is reaching out, but you are not sure who it is. Again, divination is a very easy way to figure this one out, there are many deity ID spreads online that you can find (and when I make a post going into more detail about divination, I may include some of those spreads in that post). If you are not able to do divination for yourself on who is reaching out, I recommend trying to ask a friend or finding a professional reader who offers deity IDs. I actually am a professional reader and I do offer deity IDs, you are welcome to inbox me if you are needing one!
Another way you can attempt to figure out who the deity is on your own is to do research; if you are able to sense energies, or if they are sending you specific signs, you can look into the energies you feel and the signs you are getting to try to figure out who the deity is.
What is vetting? How do I vet?
Vetting is the process of ensuring that the deity/entity you are interacting with is who they say they are. The most common way to vet is by asking the deity/entity questions about their mythology. You can also ask questions about personal experiences you’ve had with them in the past. Another easy way to vet is by assigning the deity/entity an ID card using tarot or another form of card divination (you could also do this with shufflemancy with ID songs) and ask them to show you that card/cards or song/songs to verify its them.
What can deities help me with when I’m working with them?
Deities can help with a ton of things, both in your mundane and magical practices. Deities can (as mentioned before) help with shadow work; they can help you to develop your psychic abilities, and they can share knowledge with you about both the physical and magical realm. They can teach about crystals, herbalism and nature magic for instance. They can help you develop and practice divination skills. They can help you to learn how to save your money, and help you with relationship issues. Just about anything you can think of, deities can help with!
I would like to give special credit to Prince Stolas for helping me write this and edit it; he very much helped me with a lot of this and ended up channeling to help me with some of this info. This post is written in honor of him as an offering.
I’d also like to give credit to my friend @astralscraft for helping me so much with this; the questions they came up with and the feedback they gave me for this post was incredible!
I asked what I could work on and they *told* me. . . . . . . . . . . #16bathrooms #bravotv #bravotvaddict #bravotvjunkie #bravotvmeme #realitytv #realitytvfights #realitytvmemes #pettymemes #dailymemes #funnymemes #witchshit #witchcraft #witchesofinstagram #babywitch #rhobh #rhoc #rhonj #rhony #rhop #rhoa #rhod #rhoslc #shahsofsunset #tarot #tarotcards #anxietyrelief #mentalhealthawareness #crystals #rinna https://www.instagram.com/p/CSfcppHjDAj/?utm_medium=tumblr
Why I Started My Practice
Hewo! So, my practice started when I was being harrased by a whole group of sparrows seemed to be following me and hovering over my house. That was the beginning of it. They'd tap on my window, fly overhead when I was outside, but they disappeared on a Friday.
The next thing that started happening was I kept seeing figures and/or voices wherever I was. I once sat in my room one evening and then a tall shadow figure stood at the end of my bed and started sprinting away when I looked at it.
I also then started having weird dreams, dreams that were generally about me before something really bad happened and people in these dreams knowing who I was and urging me to leave this place because I was the one person who could escape. That was why I started my practice.
How I Started My Practice
What I began doing when I started my practice was putting eggshells near entrances to my room, making protective jars and a banner to hang above my bed saying things such as "I am protected" and "I am safe and prosperous", while researching. These sort of paranormal occurrences had been happening for years, I'd have dreams that would come true, I'd remember things from when I was really young that didn't make any sense because I shouldn't have been able to remember and I remembered silhouettes of tiny people and I'd lose things frequently. So I decided, I'm going to protect myself from whatever this is, because it's obvious they're feeding off of it.
And then I find out about numerology and astrology and I was born on a SUPER MOON?! from my sister, so the dots were finally adding up.
Tips From A Witch
If you're going to enter witchcraft, please do your research because my belongings getting lost, things popping up in random places, SILOHUETTES OF TINY PEOPLE were actually the Fair Folk and if I accepted those gifts I was going to be in some big trouble. If you're wondering what to research I strongly recommend researching:
-Your ancestry. It may help you find out what they were drawn to and give you a place to start sculpting your path. I have a Celtic background, so my path would be slightly different from someone of African descent. This also can help you find out what practices you are welcome to or not.
-Your birthchart. I think looking up your birthchart is a really great way of discovering things about yourself and it's cute to see how compatible you are with people. For example, as a Taurus, I have heaps of Virgo and Cancer friends.
-Protection wards, sigils and spells. My main problem that brought me to witchcraft was the fact I was allowing things that weren't human to latch themselves onto me and I couldn't protect myself from them.
-Methods of cleansing. If something does come in or you just get bad vibes know what works for you to fix it.
-The different paths. Find out what kind of witch you want to be!! I'm a green witch, so I like plants and vibing in moss because that's me, and you need to find you! Don't feel as if you have to work only within that label, because hey, I am so intensely fascinated by dead things, corpses and just death in general, because I was seeing ghosts and felt entities presences all the time. That doesn't sound so much like a green witch, but that doesn't mean I can't do it. Find out what interests you, shape your practice for you.
Blessed Be
Witches, how did you start your practicing?
I am feeling very called towards witchcraft and I would really appreciate if someone could give a tip.
Thankyou!
the fool: Moss Moss, a nickname I was given from my unhealthy obsession with flora.
the magician: No, I've never done that and hope that I never do. The lyrics would be great, don't get me wrong, but the voice? I hope no one ever needs to hear my singing voice.
the high priestess: My dream date would be a picnic by a creek, where I bring along assorted pastries and jams, and then later we do a ritual under the full moon.
the empress: I have autophobia, so I hope so.
the emperor: Tanzanite, Belladonna, Andromeda, Selene, Nyx; a few names of witchy or Greek origin.
the hierophant: Yes and no, I believe souls of the deceased can go wherever they choose; to watch over people, to reincarnate, to go to another world. When I said "yes and no" it's because I don't like to think of them as ghosts, rather spirits.
the lovers: If we're talking celebrities, yes, many. If we're talking real life people, I'm trying to get over someone.
the chariot: My thoughts on astrology are that you take what resonates with you. While it may not be backed by science, I think astrology can be quite accurate, and it has been most of the time in my life.
strength: My dream occupation is to become a radiographer, whilst perhaps starting up an occult business on the side.
the hermit: As in fizzy drinks? I don't honestly have a preference, I drink tea, whether it be hot or iced.
wheel of fortune: Once Upon a Dream by Lana Del Ray, Sisters of the Moon by Fleetwood Mac and My Girlfriend Is a Witch by October Country.
justice: I like bicolour roses, like Tudor roses.
the hanged man: I think you can judge pretty accurately the type of person I am when I tell you; the Lord of The Rings soundtrack by Howard Shore.
death: Love somebody, buy a house somewhere rural and start a family of little Pagan witches!
temperance: I have some whacky dreams, but I'll tell you one. I was relaxing near a building, much like a clubroom for a sports team, and then there was a giant wave that flooded everywhere. I was sprinting to safety, which was a collection of small yellow buildings and a few eucalyptus trees, and then my legs stopped working and I fell to the ground, screaming and crying. Then a red-headed woman came up to me and told me that waking up was going to be the easiest way of surviving and that she envied me.
the devil: Of course, even when I was a child I had a fascination with them.
the tower: Blues, which bring out my eyes. My father (who I no longer see) and myself are the only people in our family with blue eyes, so I enjoy wearing colours that bring them out.
the star: No, I haven't.
the moon: No, I haven't.
the sun: Of course, do you really think people are that creative to invent stories about witches and hags?
judgement: I enjoy learning and educating myself, becoming more intelligent. And as I said, I'm an autophobic person, I need to be around a person loyal to me.
the world: Yes, I mean how many sunrises can you witness in your lifetime?
☀️🌙✨ tarot questions ✨🌙☀️
the fool: do you have any nicknames? the magician: have you ever written a poem or song about somebody else? the high priestess: what is your dream date? the empress: do you think you will ever get married? the emperor: what are some names that you like? the hierophant: do you believe in ghosts? the lovers: do you have a crush? the chariot: thoughts on astrology? strength: what is your dream occupation? the hermit: what is your favorite soda pop? wheel of fortune: first three songs that come on shuffle? justice: favorite color of rose? the hanged man: favorite movie soundtrack? death: what are three things you want to do before you die? temperance: can you describe a strange dream you’ve had? the devil: do you enjoy thunderstorms? the tower: favorite colors to wear? the star: have you ever seen a psychic? the moon: have you ever written a love letter? the sun: do you believe in magic? judgement: do you enjoy school? the world: do you like waking up early?
fadingskies' guide to: Sigils
So, what are sigils?
Sigils are symbols used commonly by witches to change or alter a situation, way of life or bring new things in. Sigils can be an effective way of manifestation or protection. Sigils are symbols charged with the intent of the person who uses them.
How can I make sigils?
There are numerous methods to create sigils, but I'm going to share my preferred method and the one I choose to use. You will first need to start out by coming up with a strong intent for your sigil. It works better if your intent sounds as if you already have it. Instead of "I will be protected" try to use "I am protected from all who wish ill upon me or my loved ones". Notice how the last one was in present tense and was very specific about the sigil's purpose. I tend to cross out all vowels and repeating letters, as it makes the sigils easier to draw and less complex, but you can do whatever you'd like. Next you should look up "numerology alphabet chart" in images, which will come up with a chart with number and letters. Match the letters from your intent to numbers, and write them all down.
Now with the numbers, here comes the drawing, fun part. You'll next want to make a circle with the numbers 1-9, the order can be however you'd like, personally I just do them in their standard order. With the numbers, you can use them like a guide to a dot-to-dot, but that's really all sigil making is. A powerful dot-to-dot. Connect the numbers in order, and now you have a sigil. If you feel it looks a little bland, you can decorate your sigils however you'd like. I like doing mini-triangles in the corners, dashes through lines, circles on corners, ect. Your sigils are your own, have fun with it!
Where can I put sigils?
Anywhere! You can put your sigils wherever you'd like! I have sigils nearly everywhere in my house; my wardrobe (my wardrobe is kept in the corner of my room, before starting my witchcraft journey I was always getting bad vibes from my wardrobe), my pantry (I am sick of ants or the rats my cat brings in devouring my food!), my bookshelf, my bed and my desk (I want to bring productivity and intelligence to that area of my room).
Blessed Be, my little witchlings
fadingskies' guide to: Warding
So, what are wards?
Wards are protections set up by a practitioner to prevent negative entities from invading a space or draining/harming the practitioner. Wards can take many forms and can be permanent or just temporary. The difference between cleansing and warding is that cleansing removes unwanted energies, whereas warding prevents them.
What are the different types of warding?
Warding can be done through three different methods. The first is trapping; meaning to capture or "trap" a negative entity. Circumventing is the second; to divert negative energies and entities away from a space. Lastly is filtering; separating good, positive energies and entities from ones that are negative with ill intent. There also the different types of uses for wards. Some wards can protect places and spaces, while others can be carried around with the practitioner to protect them specifically.
How can I ward?
You can ward using just about anything, as warding is a form of protection and witchcraft is entirely based on how you interpret it to be. Make sure you cleanse beforehand, and charge your preferred method with your intent of protection. Below I will list however, popular methods for warding:
Circles - Circles meaning a physical (using salt, chalk or other) or visualized boundary to enclose energies (like the powers and energies for a ritual) or to keep and divert other energies away.
Candles - Candles charged with the intent of protection are good wards. Personally, I like to rub my candles in oil and lather them in protective herbs, I think it just boots the affect of the ward.
Décor - You can use items that are commonly used for decoration as a way of protection. This can be a tapestry, an embroidered piece of art, a cute little jewelry dish, literally whatever you can charge to be a ward and serve as protection will work!
Plants - Plants serve as great wards, and are super helpful to have around as they have many assigned properties. This form of ward can be planted in the earth or in a pot.
Sigils - Sigils are great forms of wards, and can be written on different medias, have other uses aside from warding and they look super cool as well (not that witchcraft should be practice because it's aesthetically pleasing)
Waters - You can use charged waters to help ward a space.
Dirts - Different dirts from different locations can be used as wards. As most of my family have been cremated, I don't use graveyard dirt in my practice as I find it disrespectful to take from those I don't know without consent. I prefer to use the muddy water near a stream by my house, where flora and fauna is abundant and I feel most welcome.
Crystals - Crystals can be used to ward spaces
Spell bottles - Spell bottles can trap, circumvent and filter negative energies, which is why I love this method so much. They're portable and they're small and easy to hide if you're still tucked away in the broom closet.
Blessed Be, my little witchlings!
fadingskies' guide to: Cleansing
So, what is Cleansing?
Cleansing is a gentle form of the removal of energies. Cleansing removes unwanted energies latched onto objects, people or spaces and purifies. Witches use cleansing before spells or rituals, to clean the vibe from new objects in their lives or to get rid of any bad vibes.
How can I cleanse?
You can cleanse using whatever method calls out or works for you, as your craft needs to be tailored to your boundaries, interests and intuition. Here are some popular methods:
Smoke cleansing - Smoke cleansing uses bundles of dried herbs or flowers, or incense
Sound cleansing - Sound cleansing uses bells, windchimes, singing bowls, high vibrational songs or just songs you find powerful that can radiate good vibes and remove old ones
Cleansing sprays - Cleansing sprays can be sprays made of Florida Water or essential oil
Essential oils - Essential oil cleansings can be using a diffuser with essential oils, using a cotton ball and wiping surfaces down or creating a cleansing spray
Crystal cleansing - Crystal cleansing uses crystal by walking around and through spaces with crystals or putting crystals in set locations.
Salt - Salt can be sprinkled or scattered around a place to purify it
Water cleansing - Water cleansing uses tap or charged water to cleanse a space, you can use it in a diffuser, pour droplets in certain places or spray it
Fire cleansing - Fire cleansing uses the element of fire to cleanse a space, you can use a candle or ashes
Lemon wedges cleansing - Lemon wedge cleansing is by far my favourite, coat several lemon wedges in salt, catch the bad vibes and dispose of them, when the shrivel up
Is there anything important to note?
Yes, there is! Never use anything from another culture that you have not been welcomed to; whether it be a spell, ritual, holiday, plant or music. Plants like white sage and palo santo are not to be used by anyone outside of the culture they are sacred to. Also, please note, your are "smoke cleansing" if you aren't Native American. Don't say "smudging" please, don't piss me off.
And like all areas of witchcraft, the root of cleansing is the intent. Anyone can throw salt in every direction or wave a smoking stick around, but to truly drive away negative energy you need to intend for your choice of cleansing to do just that.
Blessed Be, my little witchlings!
The "true" things you need to read about if you want to start practicing witchcraft
● Read about it's History - also depends on where you live. Start on your roots. Search and study about your country's tradition, culture and ancient practices before going to other non-close beliefs, that interests you.
● Types of practices - Be careful on diving to some closed practices. I do not encourage this but since it can't be helped, just be mindful of what you're doing. Research! Every practice has do's and don'ts. Learn to respect the "authenticity" of these practices.
● Study a bit of science - science and magick co-exist. Dont just mix anything with everything. Study what herbs and plants are safe to use for kitchen witchery or making oils and other stuffs. Study what crystals can be poisonous when mixed with water etc. Also study a little bit about the science of energies and frequency as this will be fundamental with meditation. Lastly, study the possible reactions of raw materials to be used in doing witchy stuffs before doing anything else. Remember, better safe than sorry.
This 3 topics are what I recommend based on my experience in the practice for 6 years (still counting)...
I suggested this, because this topics will help you to cover the basics of the practice. I consider this as base study before actually studying the fundamentals. Now, if you don't agree, i respect that, just don't impose your bullshit on meh. 🥴
Now I know what to do with my blank notebooks. ✨
Witchy books that aren’t grimoires
🌱 Herbal- a book on herbs, describing their culinary, medicinal, and magical properties
✨Spell book- a collection of spells
😴 Dream journal- a place to write down and interpret the dreams you have
🔮 Book of prophecies- a place where you write down your predictions for the future.
🦁 Bestiary- a book on the magical creatures and spirits that you’ve encountered or find interesting
🦅 Volucrary- a book on the symbolic meanings and magical correspondences of birds. Like a bestiary but with more bird and less beast.
📚 Witchy inventory- a list, with descriptions, of all the magical items you possess and any enchantments they may have
🌞 Almanac- these are books you can buy with tide tables, astrological events, and important dates for the next year. They’re incredibly useful if you’re interested in biodynamic gardening or if you spend a lot of time outdoors.
👨👩👦👦 Family history- a book with your family tree and stories about your ancestors. Useful for ancestral magic or to create as an heirloom for your children.

I am still entitled to say no just fyi
If youd like a reading either DM or put in the ask box
I will need your initials ( can be chosen name , nickname ECT) and your favorite color and if it involves someone else theirs as well alongside your questions
I tend to do my work normally between 9pm-3am Central time but that's just a guestimate of when I will answer/ start to work on your question
Well that is all, I hope I get to read for y'all folks
Edit: will be using dice divination and songs alongside cartomancy

Quick PSA:
i am just one witch and this is my practice
⊹₊┈ㆍ┈ㆍ┈ㆍ✿ㆍ┈ㆍ┈ㆍ┈₊⊹
Quick Intro about Me :
Name prns : Ezekiel he/him
I'm a Jewish Polish Mexican Southern American witch
Or you can say a Folk witch
( ik what a mouthful )
I've been practicing on and off since i was 10
Enough about me onto the spell
⊹₊┈ㆍ┈ㆍ┈ㆍ✿ㆍ┈ㆍ┈ㆍ┈₊⊹ What is a spell ?
My definition is a specific ritual using elements that correspond with a goal or specific intention in mind
It can be as simple or as elaborate as you like
⊹₊┈ㆍ┈ㆍ┈ㆍ✿ㆍ┈ㆍ┈ㆍ┈₊⊹
Ingredients
(required) Hand sanitizer
(optional) whatever else you like
Ex: a drawn circle,wand,crystals, pen & paper, ect
So easy right !!!!!!! ⊹₊┈ㆍ┈ㆍ┈ㆍ✿ㆍ┈ㆍ┈ㆍ┈₊⊹
What i do / spell :
This spell can be ,as you'll hear me say often, Simple or elaborate
A simple version of this spell is just using the hand sanitizer with intentions based upon the fragrance and color
!!!WOW SO CRAZY!!!!
OR
A more elaborate way of this spell is by
Write down your goals as a spell ( can be rhyming can be a phrase or motto)
Draw a circle out of something (Ex:pencil , salt, herbs , ect)
3. Draw sigil based upon your goal and place it in the middle of the circle or put it on the bottle itself
4. Set up some crystal and candles
5. Place your hand sanitizer in the middle of the circle
6. Say your incantation
7. Say your closing remarks and clean up
8. Now its ready to use
⊹₊┈ㆍ┈ㆍ┈ㆍ✿ㆍ┈ㆍ┈ㆍ┈₊⊹
Example :
Lets says you have a lilac hand sanitizer
I associate lilacs with sleep and rest
And most bottle or color of the hand sanitizers are purple i personally associates purple with dreams
So when i'm using this hand sanitizer for a spell my focus would be of a reset , sleep or rest spell because of the elements I associate with the hand sanitizer
Remember as simple or as elaborate as you'd like ⊹₊┈ㆍ┈ㆍ┈ㆍ✿ㆍ┈ㆍ┈ㆍ┈₊⊹
Last remarks :
Remember to do whatever feels most comfortable, change stuff to fit your practice better, and witchcraft is based upon using what you have. You don’t need fancy tools or items from that etsy shop to be a witch
