i hope you guys realise how blessed we are to be aware of our own power. i don’t care “how much” or “how little” you’ve consciously manifested so far, you know something most of the world doesn’t. truly i hope you’re all fully aware that this is isn’t just limited to us being teenagers manifesting beauty and love interests in our bedrooms scrolling through tumblr, this is going to carry you through your entire life. this goes beyond the screen. you’re literally already living somebody’s dream. how fucking lucky are we?

A reminder for the tarot or divination community.
Do you have any book recommendations to learn more about roman paganism and roman festivals? I'm interestes as a neo-pagan witch expanding and changing their craft. This is where my inspiration led me but I struggle to find sources.
Roman books and writings, mostly. That's the most authentic you can get with Roman polytheism & festivals. No one knows their own religion better than the people who practiced it but you have to vibecheck them for political agenda because a lot of these writers lived under tyrannical rule.
Cicero, Livy, Varro, Virgil (with caution), Ovid (double checking), Plautus, Horace, Tibullus, etc. I recommend looking through NovaRoma, Perseus.edu, or Penelope.edu for original Latin texts. Latin Library works too but it usually doesn't have translations.
Some books that aren't Ancient but have decent information:
A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology
Roman religion in Livy
Malevolent Gods and Promethean Birds: Contesting Augury in Augustus's Rome
Omens and Augury in Plautus
A Dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities
The Roman Festivals of the Period of the Republic
A Companion to Families in the Greek and Roman Worlds
I have PDFs/links to all of these sources, so if you can't find something, just ask me.
Hope it helped!
me explaining that manifestation is more than getting your desire, but a personal journey to discovering yourself and un-learning old beliefs that once held you back so really it doesn’t matter if it’s taking you a while to get the whole concept of the law because its not about the destination but the journey and the things you’ll learn.
2020 : There’s something I’ve been keeping to myself for a long time but I need to tell someone.
2020 : A galactic federation exists out there with aliens.
Us : And?
2020 : ....I thought you’d be a little more surprised.
Us : Oh,sorry
Us : AND???
I need you guys to love and respect yourselves enough to realize that you deserve everything you’ve ever wanted, and to start treating yourself like you deserve to be treated ♡

SHIFTING & MANIFESTATION ⌵
⟡┊“can i manifest without shifting to another reality?
yes, it’s up to you. if you don’t want to shift, you don’t have to, no matter what your manifestation is, shifting is not necessary.
⟡┊“i’m scared of shifting while manifesting”
there’s nothing to be scared of, this is your reality, your rules.
VOID STATE ⌵
⟡┊“is the void necessary in order to manifest my desires?”
no, you don’t need the void at all, all you need is yourself.
⟡┊“how do we tap into the void?”
❝To accomplish this seemingly impossible feat you take your attention away from your problem and place it upon just being. You say silently but feelingly, "I AM." Do not condition this awareness but continue declaring quietly, "I AM - I AM." Simply feel that you are faceless and formless and continue doing so until you feel yourself floating.❞ - Neville Goddard.
STATES ⌵
⟡┊“how do we get into a state?”
you shift your awareness to your desire(s) like “i have my desired body” and you imagine yourself IN that state of consciousness, would you be looking around, checking in the mirror, complaining about your body? no, right.
❝Don't condemn yourself for the state into which you have fallen. If you don't like it, move into another. Don't feel sorry for yourself, for if you do, you will make the state a habit and remain there for the rest of your days on earth. Instead, you can believe this doctrine and move out of any state.❞ - Neville Goddard
⟡┊”i don’t want to be in a state, what do i do?”
you’re always in a state, whether you like it or not!
• state of being happy
• state of being sad
• state of being wealthy
• state of being poor
AFFIRMING ⌵
⟡┊“Do i need to affirm 10,000 times in order to get my desire(s)?”
NO, NO, NO! you create the rules, it’s all up to you.
⟡┊“I’m tired of affirming, but i have to do it… if not i won’t get my desire(s)”
then… why are you doing it, you’ll get your desires even if you affirm once (depends on your assumptions)
DETACHMENT ⌵
⟡┊“do i need to detach from my manifestations, in order for them to come into fruition?”
nope, that’s a law of attraction thing, we’re talking about the law of assumption here.
LIVING IN THE END ⌵
⟡┊“How do i exactly live in the end?”
If you and your SP were together, would you be trying to manifest him? no.
If you were rich, would you be worrying about money? no.
FREE WILL ⌵
it’s your reality, nobody has free will; unless you want them to, you like someone? they like you back point, blank, period.
WITCHCRAFT ⌵
“manifestation is not witchcraft, witchcraft is manifestation.” — Sammy Ingram
TIME ⌵
time doesn’t exist, it was created by man, unless you believe it does.
METHODS/TECHNIQUES ⌵
they’re tools, that’s it. you give power to them, you’re the reason they work, and you’re also the reason why they don’t work.
3D & 4D ⌵
3D = your physical reality.
4D = your inner reality | your thoughts.
change your thoughts, persist → change your assumptions, persist → your desire manifests in the 3D | @starliet
the 3D only reflects the 4D
the 3D is malleable, therefore you can always change it.
┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈
YOU HAVE THE POWER! ⌵
this is your reality we’re talking about, everything revolves around you, there’s no such thing as ‘i can’t do it’ you’re the master, you have the power, you need to go within and find it. nothing is impossible for you, nothing is unreachable for you, you create, you destroy. you have the power in your hands, why not use it? it’s time for you to realize and accept the power you hold, you’re way too powerful to be sitting in bed contemplating your life, do masters do that? no, so stand up! get your desires, because…
in the end, it all comes down to something; YOU.
FINAL NOTES ⌵
this post will be updated with new information frequently, it’ll have new things added, depending on the information i keep finding, and about topics that people might want to know about, once again…

Disclaimer: This is a more personal post and involves a bit of UPG.
I didn't start witchcraft by doing deity work, in fact, I just started actively working with deities in the last two years! Before that, the only experience I've had with a god was the Christian God, but even then I only interacted with him* in the way that I was taught to: You pray to him but he probably won't respond. I was even told when I asked why God doesn't answer me, "That's just not how God works"...
This is no slight towards Christian witches, as I know they interact with the Christian God differently than non-witchy Christians and I would never claim to know their relationships with him.
However, due to this upbringing, I didn't know how to interact with deities. I had to unlearn what I had been taught about interacting with a god.
One of the things I had to unlearn is that, unlike how I was taught growing up, many deities aren't always going to be there to talk to you, they're a lot more human-like than we think. They aren't like how the Christian God is said to be: always there, always watching. w
I got scared when the interactions with my deities started to wane/ I wasn't feeling them or hearing from them as often and I started to worry that they'd abandoned me. That's not true! As with any relationship, there are times when you can't always be with someone, it's totally normal to go days, weeks, and even months without hearing from your deities. That doesn't mean that you've been left behind!!
So if you're feeling disconnected from your deities here are some things to keep in mind:
Just because they aren't always around doesn't mean they aren't always there for you.
Call them when you need them if you don't feel like they're around at the moment. Gods are used to being called to by humans, it won't offend them.
They may not show up right away sometimes. They are feeling, thinking beings, they have their own will and generally act accordingly to said will.
Deities are allowed to step back. If they feel the need to take a break from your relationship, or simply not interact with you as much, then that's just fine!
It's not always a reflection of you, your character, or your craft. Sometimes they just want to take a break and that's perfectly fine!
Sometimes, the problem is that we are too busy and we put our relationships with our deities on the back burner. In this case, most of the time, in my experience, they understand and if they need to reach out to you they will find a way.
If you feel like you've been disconnected from your deities and would like to take some actions to reconnect, here are some ideas:
Read up on their mythology. Even if you've read it all before, give yourself a bit of a refresher!
Do some divination. I use tarot but you can use whichever form works best for you. Use tsk the deity what you can do to reconnect with them.
Talk to them. Even if you feel like they aren't around, just talk to them. Tell them how you feel, how your day went, and tell them you want to reconnect. You can also write to them.
Give them an offering. Since this post is focused on reconnecting with deities, you probably already know which offerings your patrons prefer. So give them an offering and let them know you're thinking of them!
Do something that makes you feel more connected to that deity. This could be going on a walk, making a certain food item, creating art, playing a movie, and so on. Just do something that makes you feel closer to them.
All in all, everyone's experiences with Deities and Deity work is going to be unique to the person, as with any relationship in life. Do what works best for you, this is just a post to help remind people that deity work isn't always having your life fully devoted to a deity. Most of us aren't able to put that much of our time or energy into deity work. If you can and want to, that's perfectly okay, too!
*I was raised using he/him pronouns for the Christian God as that was how he manifested in my life and upbringing. However, I am aware that there are folks who choose to use other pronouns for the Christian God and I'm not disregarding nor disrespecting that. Use whatever pronouns for your chosen deities as you want, Christian God or otherwise. <3
