Feedback: thank you so much for getting back to me. I needed to hear this message. I always let the judgement of others and my self stop me from finding myself and what I want. I feel like most of my life this has stopped me from being expressive. Constantly being judged even as a child has made me afraid to make any mistakes or even any small decisions, because of the fear of being disappointed. I think my inner child would be upset that I never figured out how to let go of that for her. I know she felt unhappy and alone then. She probably hates that nothings changed. She prayed for a future that was different. Only to see the reality that future her let her down. Having to walk on eggshells in fear of major/overreactions taught her to be a people pleaser. As well as yearning for affection that never came. I hope we break free together and find this rebirth you speak of. Thank you β₯οΈ
I'm so glad the reading was helpful to you, remember that big changes should come with time, with little decisions every day, but do not beat yourself down whenever you can't make it. Spend time in your own company, explore different things, different subjects, try things for yourself and decide whether you like them or not, enjoy the feeling of doing something for the first time.
Something very useful and very heartwarming, speaking personally, is looking forward to join a community of people with common interests, they can support you and make you feel included, not alone.
May you find much joy in your journey π€
hello !
For free reading: I was wondering how will my first year of uni experience be like?
Thank you in advance -ST β
VII - The Chariot
Your first year will be focused, you'll enter uni with thirst for knowledge and will to be the best of the class. The Chariot is a card about success in your battles, it suggests you'll enter to be the number one and run after your objectives, of course that cannot be the case every time so don't let frustration take over if something doesn't go according to plan.
This card shows great prospect and its advice is for you not to be too immediatist, take your time to sit down and enjoy the experience too, now that you're just starting it might feels like it'll take forever until graduation, but truth is that time flies by much faster than it looks like.
Much luck in this next stage of your life, ST π
Today I've got the chance to make my first ever tarot reading to someone else, today, my beautiful cousin
I was so very afraid and kinda skeptical if the cards would actually make sense with whatever would be asked, but everything ran so smoothly I'm still shocked
Sometimes cards that didn't make any sense to me would awake deep answers to her, after every card revealed she'd tell me more about how it totally represented things that she'd experienced
I think the most surprising fact was, at times that I was trying to make the wrong spread for a question, we tried again and the very same cards showed up in order, this time making complete sense
I'm kinda proud for a first time because I could handle to guide her through each step and followed my intuition whenever she should fish a second card or not, when we had to make 3 or 4 cards-spread reading and mostly to catch minimal visual elements into more accuracy to the reading
A friend of mine also requested to have a tarot session to get some advices and help me practice, I can't wait for it, it's such a plesant feeling to see the smile and shocked expression whenever the card tells you something so unbelievably right
Today I went looking for a gift for a dear friend and I went straight to a xamanic store, not only got the gift but got myself this selenite, got to look at beautiful statues that now I desperately want to purchase and, for the first time, during a conversation, said out loud that I'm an Hekatean devotee. I returned home kicking my feet and giggling like a little girl who just got her first public speech successfully.
Well now I need money not only to pay bills but also to be buying magical artifacts, unfortunately in my house I don't think I could get away with displaying a 40cm Hekate statue in my room, so that'll be a future addiction (hopefully)
For now I'm grateful for the baby steps I could achieve!
Closing asks for a bit as I organize the ones I received better, once they are open again I'll not be answering about romance for a while, as there's a huge volume of the same questions coming in and I'd really like to read about varieties rather than the same matter over and over, so I'll be giving attentions to other topics for a while.
I'll let you guys know when romance questions are open again, bless β¨
i really loved the reading you did for me the other day, thank you so much! iβve been coming across quite a few βpick a cardβ readings and theyβve been saying things that someone is jealous and wishing ill on me. one of my close friends in the workplace has been telling me a co-worker has been going behind my back and says she is two faced and your reading pretty much confirmed it. i would love to get another reading from you but iβm not sure if you do second free readings or if you have a paid tarot readings post (i canβt seem to find it). again thank you so much!
Hello! I'm very glad it was useful for you and sorry it's indeed a envious situation, hope you can come up with the best solution. As for your doubt, I still don't feel prepared enough to sell these advices, I consider those free readings as a great practice so second questions are welcome!
If you feel like tipping it would also be very much appreciated, you can tip me through Ko-Fi whatever amount you have to spare π
hey, I saw your username and it got me wondering: where are you from? it's okay if you don't wanna answer!! <3
Hehe no worries, I'm Brazilian and loved the username in portuguese so I kept it here, ig it maybe sounds cool and edgy to foreigners while still fitting the theme π
May I say this reblog made my day, it's really incredible to read other's experiences π§‘ so I feel the need to share a little update!
The left pic is more or less the day I collected the small offering from the original post (september 11th 2023).
The right pic is the very same rosemary, today (may 4th 2024), and look how beautifully it has grown every since, it's been strong and healthy and gives me absolute no worries, not to mention its scent is absurdly delicious, it is truly blessed.
And also today, I've decided it was about time to give it a well deserved trim, and of course it was time for a gratitude offering.
First of all I chose a size for the plant to be wholly trimmed, and of course the first branch would be in Her honor. It makes me so happy to see how far both my plant and I have come and to be able to offer a piece of our growth with the one that is always looking out for us, one branch at a time πππ
And here's the plant after trim, I matched the previous taller branches to the shorter ones that will hopefully grow newer ones soon πΏ
Heya Hekate!
Small offerings are enough β¨
A while ago I got a small to medium rosemary plant, I've been feeling like caring for plants. I have special interest for the ones I can do infusions and curing, prefer aromatic and ornamental plants rather than flowers, but the most important of all, I was trying keep the plant alive because unlike my mom, I do not have that green thumb (and she'd take over in case the plant started getting ill)
The first sprout I harvested would be offered to Hekate, as it was Her the responsible for my awakening, so I left it by my altar to dry.
Once considerably dry I burned it in Her honor, along with music that chanted Her name, expressing my gratitude for so many blessings in a very personal and warm moment.
Where I live, with my parents I'm unable to follow certain traditional rites to their core. The best place to contact Hekate is on crossroads, where people leave their tributes or the leftovers of their crafts (with ecological consciousness). At the moment I can't really go in and out bringing offerings, so I fight with the weapons I have available.
But how do I know the offering was successful, that it was received and pleased Lady Hekate like I intended to?
First of all, putting your intention, wherever you are, will be the fuel the offering needs to achieve its destiny. Second, you will feel that not only said offering completed its course but also that it pleased (or not) the deity you want to contact.
As I've read on an older Hekatean devotee's testimony, Hekate is a subtle Goddess, her signs are deep and not at all noisy.
For me, the message came as an incredible sense of peace, happiness and realization, that small moment of connection made me feel like that's what I was born to do, how I wished to have awakened earlier in life as at the same time I'm grateful for having the opportunity to experience it now.
Rosemary is not Hekate's favorite herb, but it is my favorite, and what feels more special than being offered something that another person loves and desires to share with you? I think the Gods feel the same way, if your offer is filled with gratitude, positiveness, respect and strong intentions, it'll be appreciated.
Heya Hekate!
Having Hades 2 be themed around the moon and witchcraft and how they historically relate to womanhood and sisterhood and having the main "boss" character be a loving mother figure instead of an antagonistic father.... This one really is for the girls thank you supergiant
February 25th, 2022
A whole year and some days since I felt something calling for me for the first time, something for which I officially gave up everything I was taught, but so far, I have not regretted my decision even once.
At this time I had been looking forward to meet the calls, my first contacts with wichcraft was through several Wiccan books that I could find around the internet, the basic guides about assembling your altar, witches' rules and the innumerous paths one could trail.
I did not know, at that time, that it was possible to honor the Goddess of Witches, all I've known about Her until then was through Greek adventure books read on high school, but even then I could feel her influence. I remember our teacher instructing us to pick our favorite Greek deity in order to make a presentation about them, needless to say who did I choose.
I chose Her and keep doing so, and it's an honor to think She chose me too.
Looking back, it warms my heart and brings me peace to think Lady Hekate was gifting me with something I've much longed for.
At that time I've just read the book about picking a wood stick to make your wand, it should be the lenght from your elbow until the tip of your middle finger, a gift made under my very measures. I would not have picked the wand so eagerly without that info prior, or would not have kept it for long, but at the right time, she brought it to me, right under a triple trunk tree. I took this photo in order to never forget this blessing.
Three years have passed since this, my beautiful wand is still with me, strong and radiant. Today it called for me, the wood was opaque and sad, I took some of the best paints I own and gave it another life.
Made a vibrant brown color for the wood and two special shades of green to never forget about the moss that came along with the wand, I also painted green the wires that hold still my pretties clear quartz on top, as well as adding different colors to the artificial flowers that tie this whole piece together.
When everything cured, I could feel the happy energy around it, beaming with its own representation of the nature it came from.
This makes me extremely happy and brings me peace, here I'm hoping my beloved tool will stay with me for many years to come.
And so be it! β¨
