Praying to Aphrodite for seeing the beauty in the world despite my sadness, as well as loving myself, even when others judge me

Praying to Ares for the strength to keep going, and as the loving hand of a father that I never had

Praying to Hestia in hope that I'll feel at home for the first time in forever, that I'll be comforted with thoughts of my favorite bread in the warm oven

Praying to Demeter in hope that my hunger will be sated while there's no food for me to eat, and again for the caring embrace from a mother when mine turns her back

Can't be poly cause I always end up dating both of them after they break up with eachother lol

whenever people say shit like “i couldn’t be polyamorous, i’m so jealous and possessive. if my partner even LOOKS at another girl/guy i’m gonna kick them out of a window” i’m like well you should probably be working on that. like even if you don’t end up doing polyamory it’s probably good to not be like that

VEILING

Veiling is a practice with both ancient and modern roots. While veiling was not universally practiced by all ancient Greeks, it held symbolic and practical significance in certain contexts, particularly in relation to specific Gods, rituals, and social customs.

As someone who practices veiling more often than not, I wanted to discuss the history behind it as pertaining to the religion, and show you some examples of different veils you can use.

Historical Veiling in Ancient Greece

In ancient Greece, veiling was not just religious but was linked to societal norms regarding gender, respect, and propriety. It was common for women to veil their heads when outside the home, though men could veil as well.

Veiling also had a ritual function in religious ceremonies. Priestesses often veiled during rituals or temple service as a sign of reverence and purity when approaching the Gods. In some festivals, such as those dedicated to Demeter or Hestia, veiling was particularly significant, reflecting the Goddesses’ connection to the home, modesty, and fertility.

In modern times, we can veil during rituals or daily life as a way to express reverence for the Gods, especially when in prayer.

The reasons for veiling vary among practitioners and may include:

1. Honoring Tradition: Veiling can be used as a way of honoring ancient customs, particularly when engaging in things regarding Hestia, Demeter, or Persephone.

2. Ritual Purity: Veiling can be used as a means of maintaining ritual purity, particularly when one wishes to separate the mundane from the sacred.

3. Modesty and Respect: Veiling can also reflect a personal choice to express modesty or respect, particularly in the presence of deities or during rituals dedicated to chthonic Gods.

Different Forms of Veiling in Modern Practice

Full Veil (Himation-style): The veil covers the head and sometimes drapes over the shoulders.

Partial Veiling: This veil covers just the top of the head or wearing a scarf. This can be a less formal or everyday expression of devotion, often used in daily prayers or minor rituals.

Face Veiling: In some instances, particularly in rituals involving the chthonic deities, one may veil their faces in addition to their heads. Sometimes known as Tegidion, This is done to show humility or to protect oneself spiritually when interacting with Gods associated with death or the afterlife, like Hades or Persephone.

God-Specific Veiling

Veiling can be done as a specific act of devotion to certain Gods. For example:

- Hestia (Goddess of the hearth)

- Demeter and Persephone (Goddesses of agriculture and the underworld)

- Hekate (Goddess of witchcraft, crossroads, and the underworld)

As always, I can discuss this more in depth if anyone would like :)

This is how I am, usually it's as simple as a good morning or good night because I'm so busy.

Hey. I saw on one of your posts that while you worship Nyx, she isn't the center of your craft? Can you explain that a little bit?

Hi! So, Nyx is the reason I got into witchcraft, but worshipping her and my other deities is not the main practice of my path.

It's part of it, but also my deities, and I have an understanding of sorts, I don't have the energy for major worship, let alone altar space, so just a casual "hey I've been thinking about you" offering usually suffices.

Losing a friend

I thought I lost you yesterday, but as I replay everything. I realized I never had you. I confided in you things my best friend only also knew. You wounded my trust. But that's the thing. My path in life is to come in and help people where they needed it. You obviously only needed me for a short time.

That's okay

That's just fine. But I thought I was gaining a friend who I could teach to, learn from, and walk through life with. I hope you feel what I feel.

stand up for yourself and know your self worth! set boundaries and protect your energy 🫧

DISCOVER if you have A DAY CHART or a NiGHT CHART:

Steps

- Locate your Sun's house

If your Sun is in the top part of your chart you have a DAY CHART, Day Charts are ruled by the Sun and have Jupiter as a benefic (good planet) and Saturn as a malefic (bad planet) I'm crying cus Saturn is my ruler as someone with a Day Chart while with Jupiter as my dominant planet 😭😭😭

If your Sun is at the bottom part of your chart, you have a NIGHT CHART, Night Charts are ruled by the Moon and have Venus as benefic (good planet) and Mars as malefic (bad planet)

- Simplified method:

Sun from the 1st house to 6th house will indicate a night chart (2nd, 3rd, 4th, and so on)

Sun from the 7th house to the 12th house will indicate a day chart (8th, 9th, 10th, and so on)

🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋

What having a day chart says about your personality:

People born with a day chart are more extrovert and outgoing, they may focus more on the activities and on the adventures. They can be a good company and a social butterfly in their communities. The sun was shining when you were born. (SUN KIDS) ☀️

What having a night chart says about your personality:

People born with a night chart are more introvert, more internally focused, more celver, they can understand things more deeply than others. They can focus more on the things they find comfort in and they bring a specific calm and peace in their communities. The moon was glowing when you were born. (MOON KIDS) 🌙

Enjoy discovering your chart 🦋😊👋

By the gods

10 years is all it takes for me to realize I need to eat warm foods to avoid my body going into shock over my period

Wonderful

Thank gods I learned it though

[kittywitch62]

I was singing big iron and I started sobbing

Why?

Because I heard my mother and the thought of one day I'll be the only remembrance of her in this world hurt.

[kittywitch62]

So I was going to a dojo, loved it and loved some of the other classmates better, I wanted to learn self defense. But here's where I had my problem.

They can think of me as a snow flake if they want but still

The instructor talked about how the Dojo is like a church. I was raised in a church where you don't talk about anything other than church related or the religion related things in the church.

So it makes me extremely uncomfortable they talked about politics and made sexist jokes. (I was the only woman) I loved it for the exercise and the learning but them bringing things that don't need to be in there is what ruined it for me

[kittywitch62]

From my side blog

Me: My tummy hurt...

Ares: yes because you are learning to fight like your inner warrior!

Me: My inner warrior says it's tummy hurts.
