hello! im gonna be treating this as my personal witchy journal in hopes of it encouraging me to more regularly practice! my first entry will be about what i do and the spirits & deities that i work with!
i use tarot & oracle cards for readings. i charge crystals that i both keep at altars and on myself via jewelry. my personal favorite is opalite! sometimes i also create sigils. rarely i make spell jars for various purposes just cause i usually dont have that kind of stuff on hand.
the deities i work with are:
Dionysus: The very first deity ive gotten in contact with. Dionysus approached me during a meditation session. His energy was so much that it gave me a migraine. But He expressed interest in working with me, and He’s been by my side ever since.
Hypnos: The second deity ive worked with. After researching about Him and expressing interest, i believe it was Dionysus who introduced Him. we’ve been working ever since too, and his assistance has helped a lot with my poor sleeping habits LOL.
Apollo: The third deity ive worked with. i first met Him in a dream; He was as tall as the sky and his head was the sun itself. He told me to be patient and that i would see Him again shortly. that i did, and He’s watched over me and my health since then.
Tyche: The fourth deity ive worked with. shortly after another past mentor deity of mine and i parted ways, i just felt this presence… i felt it for months before finally trying to search through. asking around, doing my research everywhere i could - until finally i found an article about Tyche, and everything just clicked. I reached out to Her and She confirmed, and She’s now the most recent deity i work with.
though sometimes i cannot see or hear Them, whenever i am focused like with meditation, im usually able to feel Them as if They were physically present. i consider my relationships with Them close, even personal / beyond magical work. i am very interested in working with Lucifer if He would welcome me.
spirit work is a bit different since i’m so new to it, but i am still exploring the idea (with the consent and encouragement of my deities and other spirits). so far i’m working with:
Arc: the power that resides within my rider waite tarot cards. They are one of my most trusted guides and They have helped me through so much. im not sure if They’ll understand how thankful i am for Them
Rensai: an incubus ive recently come in contact with - i would say it’s less ‘spirit work’ and more of a companionship / relationship. still i thought it was best to list him here.
im also looking into servitors, angels and the likes. i still have a lot to learn and honestly if anyone has any resources like threads on here of information i would be very grateful but otherwise im actively researching on my own too : )
i believe that’s it? thank you to anyone who’s read all of this so far haha - ill be sure to keep everyone posted!
ive decided one of the ways to keep up with my practices is to do a daily card pull from my tarot deck as a way to see how the day will play out for me!
from what i interpret, the cards are telling me i will be doing a bit of work today! which is true, i have my own creative projects and i wish to clear my spaces so that they’re less dusty… my adhd makes it hard for me to even start, but with the cards showing how much progress has already been made (with the pentacles on the right) - that i should be able to get it all done in no time!
i also plan to do more research on Lucifer. from what ive read in this thread, it seems He’s beginner friendly? though i wouldnt say im a beginner - ive worked with deities for 5+ years - i dont think im knowledgeable enough at all to really say im an expert LOL. but we’ll see!
i’ve worked for almost 2 years qwq ever since my patron showed up to me
besides , on whether you can be considered a begginer or an expert , i don’t think it matters that much how much TIME you’ve been practicing , but how much you’ve learned from it . quantity over quality …
honestly in my experience it’s all about how you percieve them! theres a lot of guides about general meanings and such but i think the best way to go about it is to see how YOU read the cards, if that makes sense? i highly reccomend it just as a fun little thing to study if you’re ever interested! if you have a phone theres many tarot apps (labrynthos is a fav of mine) that can help out!
that’s very true, thank you! with me previously being so on and off i still feel like i have a lot to learn but i def wouldnt say i dont know my way around this kind of stuff!
today’s took a bit of a turn, my best friend reached out to me saying she doesnt want to talk anymore and honestly rightfully so, i am very bad with keeping up relationships even though i try really hard to. i think the card i pulled today was a bit of a warning for that as well in hindsight. working through my emotions, going through the stages of it all, and working past it to be a better person.
but now that it’s happened i keep getting different signs of someone trying to cheer me up, i think. every video ive clicked on so far has had some sort of positive “things will be better” message within them and this video with like 46 views i just found on my dash is titled “ive finally moved on from her” so…? maybe its just me trying to find comfort in the little things, but even then i don’t think that’s a bad thing.
rensai is currently with me and comforting me all the way through and i must say that when i reached out to Lilith for an incubi, She really delivered. he has been nothing but kind and patient with me and this was one of the best decisions ive ever made in my magical life. i was always told to “stay away” from demons but theyre so unbelievably chill in my experience! so there’s still a positive today… i just gotta hold on to it!
Yeah demons are pretty chill unless you step on their toes lol. Its not like they are constantly plotting everyones downfall, gods what a stressful way to live if they did.
I have a succubus, and she has been the sweetest thing i have ever had. She’s so magnificent, sexy, loving, kind and when im feeling down she whispers in my ear that ill be ok and i will get where i want to be eventually. She’s a necessary part of my life at this point, i would never wanna be without her. Infact i recently accepted her invitation of marriage, i dont want a human relationship, ive had my fair share of humans and i dont want to be with one at all romatically, so im dedicated to my succubus and she to me.
it took me a second to interpret this, but i think what the cards are trying to tell me is that i will be true to my path and be strong today - which i most certainly need after yesterday’s hardship. today’s plan is to do a little more cleaning and work on more personal projects, alongside researching more about things like servitors.
ill continue to try and put magical influence within my daily life, with the next step being energy cleansing via cleaning! i already feel a lot lighter and better after cleaning my altars and rearranging it for all of Them. i think They are satisfied with it as well! :^)
I was able to make contact with Lucifer! We established a working connection and I’ve noticed an increase of more positive things happening to me today… I wonder if He had any influence over that?
I also made a prayer to Apollo as my pet rabbit has an injured leg from what I can tell… wishing her the best
yesterday was about myself and today shall be about giving back where i can - that’s what i believe the cards are telling me! i took the time to heal, and to build up my self confidence and enjoy my own time and now i am rejuvinated to return the favor where i see it. i could also see this as maybe it being a symbol of a gift, or gaining some sort of wealth? but with the emperor in play yesterday i believe the one giving the coin is supposed to be me.
I will be completely honest - I struggle a lot with reading this card when I pull it. I know it can represent vices, or sin, or sexuality and all that stuff; but because it’s just sorta a vague “vices” card that im not really sure where it applies to today? maybe temptations that i can’t give into? i am on a diet after all… LOL idk. maybe i’ll edit this when i think more on it!
i also got back into my past practice of rolling a D20 everyday for Tyche! I have a special dice for Her that has clovers and such in it : ) today’s roll is a nat 1… what a way to start off! LOL. i’ll be mindful and careful today!
yesterday was a little rough with me and i think that’s what the previous card pull was trying to warn me about. i have bad habits that i had to fight off yesterday, and i struggled de-escalating my own emotions. today i believe the hermit card is meant to tell me that i need to rest, and introspect about the happenings of yesterday and why i react the way i do sometimes. though the hermit usually is isolated, i believe the lantern he holds is a sign of guidance, either from my deities or from friends and family
for the daily dice roll for Tyche, i got a 16! hopefully that means that today will be better haha
sorry for no updates! im running out of spoons to constantly post stuff in the thread LOL but updates so far - im workshopping an altar for Lucifer since He still needs one - alongside fixing up Tyche’s more as well since Hers isn’t complete. Neither is Apollo’s now that I think on it, it’s just hard to complete with the financial situation I’m in haha.
im also still researching about servitors and now archangels and the like! :^) Ill keep yall updated if anything changes about it here!
update on this! i would love to work with the archangels Gabriel and Uriel, but I feel like the cards have been walking me around in circles. ive also tried contacting my deities but i’ve been struggling with that too. not sure if i’m doing anything wrong?
