Oh Damn I Think I'm Being Called To Deliver A Message.

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

Feedback on Xournal++: I love the customizable pages, the handwriting is super comfortable and the ability to save in pdf is super handy, the file is quite light too

i had some trouble setting up the plugins to make up the keybinds, and the pen display is a little buggy, but i think the final result is quite worth the tiny struggles.

This will be specially useful with to the image insert tool, i can import tarot card images for my studies, create hand drawn mood boards and import some little arts to decor each book!

I'll for sure have one file for my grimoire and one shadow book for devotion work, but there are infinite possibilities: dream journal, tarot notebook, recipes book, herb notes, spellcraft, and each can have their own covers!

If any Witch out there wants the plugins I'm using for xournal++ just DM me and I'll send your way, this tool has a lot of potential for people like us!

Posted in a community but wanted to ask my followers as well:

I feel like keeping a digital Grimoire would be easier for me than a traditional, physical one (which i own, but i rarely feel the desire/patience/comfort to write on it)

My computer is my safe nobody else has access to, plus i own a display tablet that makes it easy to handwrite, so would anyone out there have journal app recommendations?

What I'm looking for is a Windows app, stylus compatible, that has handwriting/doodling features and AI free if possible!

Atm I'm testing xournal++ but i find the user experience a little bad (a shame, bc it checks all my boxes above in terms of journalling)

If you have an app/know of something interesting please comment or reblog, I'd love to know!

May the Gods bless you day/night! ✨

May I say this reblog made my day, it's really incredible to read other's experiences 🧡 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 💚💚💚

And here's the plant after trim, I matched the previous taller branches to the shorter ones that will hopefully grow newer ones soon 🌿

Heya Hekate!

Small offerings are enough ✨

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!

I was preparing both an ask box reading and weekly tarot before I realized I forgot one card on my shadow book when I was studying, therefore all the readings I've made are not valid ughhhhh

Hello~

Hope my ask finds you in great shape,

I'm S.R, (she/her)

May I please request a reading on a question (or two?) 1) are there any opportunities/doors I'm overlooking when it comes to my career? 2) is K.T, the person I've gotten signs since 3 years, is he my future spouse? And what can I do knowing the information?

Thank you soo very much for your time and energy.

Sending you positive energy and hope you have great days ahead!

You're definitely letting something slip on your career. Have you tried analyzing all the options logically? Evoke your rational side, see the whole situation from a far, take in every angle to figure out the best outcome, not letting emotions speak louder than reason.

To be brief, it's not needed to lose nights of sleep over this matter, nor be pessimistic or discouraged, the stress will do you more harm than good, you already have the tools to change your situation. When you realize it and put it to action, nothing will stop your growth.

To the second question, besides you having a deep connection with KT, maybe that big of a commitment is not suitable in a timely manner. Your partnership is a blessing, but one of you, and I suppose it's you, still have to go through some rest, healing and self discovery first.

Hope this was somehow insightful for you, sending plenty of positivity your way ✨

I hope you've found a insightful message, may your week be showered in blessings and wisdom 💜

ASK AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE HAHAHAHA

When I was starting on witchcraft I read a book that said I should have a "witchy name"

I chose Latoya after coming across this name on a game called Reigns Her Majesty it's a possible name for the queens and I loved this name instantly but it's so rare to get it somehow I'm starting to think I hallucinated of it

Funny part is also my birth name is quite close to Latoya, it's Luana but I think Latoya is way fancier, I also think there's no thing like witchy name in witchcraft but I purposefully ignore that, Latoya is my witchy name idc

Connection spread (analysis)✨

I got the chance to try a reading on two people's connection per request. It was hard as only one of them was present (person A), so I warned them about the difficult of sorting it out right for the missing person, I'm a beginner after all.

Cards' meaning under this spread is under the cut, this is merely an analysis on the results to help me get better on readings!

This reading is very clear, person A (cards 1-2 by the left) is committed to their connection, their challenge is to let go and move on from things that have hurted them in the past, which is easier said than done

Person B (cards 3-4 by the right) however is going through some internal battles, the Temperance suggests healing along with the Tower that implies in painful changes while everything seems to fall apart around them. Nonetheless, after the storm the sun will shine again and all the pain will be seen as valuable lessons

Card 5 represents their common force, the Hierophant says that both parts are taking their time to get better, chasing after knowledge that I believe is self knowledge.

As much as the two parts seem to be in the same page, the reading suggest it's best for them to follow their own paths, heal from their wounds before anything

The most surprising thing is, by this morning, I received a text from person A describing how person B texted them and talked a lot about how they are dealing with a lot of stuff in their personal life, trying to get things together.

It shouldn't surprise me as much as it did, but I really did not expect to see so many things fit together so fast, it all just makes me want even more to learn and get better
