may nemesis throw everyone who wronged you off a cliff

[necrolatria]

a reminder to honor aphrodite by maintaining your boundaries and self respect. don't let people walk over you, don't stay in relationships (both romantic and platonic) that aren't bringing you joy. learn to love yourself before worrying about being loved by others.

hello! if ur willing to share, im really curious abt how ur worship if demeter has impacted ur life? or perhaps how u honor her? theres not many worshippers and im so curious abt how other people incorporate her into their practice💚 please be as detailed as ud like

to me the most important thing demeter helps me with is presence in my body. due to mental health issues i am very prone to dissociating and ignoring my needs. eating, showering, drinking water, brushing teeth twice a day, exercising, wearing clean clothes, etc, remembering all of this is a challenge to me, but ever since i started dedicating all of these to demeter it helped me establish a routine and now i do all of this with relative ease and it makes me joyful to please her. she made me start loving eating too, and i mean i obviously loved tasting things that i like before, but she made me love eating, as in loving the process of nourishing my body in on itself. i have chronic pains and previously i was prone to starving myself as a way to punish my body for... sort of "betraying" me i guess... but demeter made me stop doing this. she made me realize that even though i am more than my body, my body is still me, and i need to work with it, not to run away from it. also in her honor i started loving beer. yeah

Since some of you have asked for this, here is a recording of the exercise I used when I taught/mentored to train spiritual senses. It's meant to be the 3rd in a series, the first two can be found here. The progression through the series begins with sensing one's own energy, then manipulating one's energy within the body, and this third installment stretched the energy, and the spiritual senses, outside of the body to begin developing or strengthening awareness. None of my exercises are meant to be "one and done" meditations, they are meant to be practiced and repeated to develop the skills taught in each. For this one I recommend starting someplace familiar and comfortable, then once you have a hang of the skills going to out into the world and repeating the exercise there to practice in a potentially more spiritually active environment. Appreciate my work? Consider leaving a tip.

Energy Exercise Guided Meditations

As promised here are two energy work exercises that I lead live on the Danse Macabre Discord Server as part of our Meditation March event.

The first is my take on the classic “Energy Ball” meditation/exercise. The second builds from the fist in the form of an energy based body scan. These are the versions without music, let me know if anyone really wants a version with background music. ** Edit: I ran out of space on my Soundcloud very quickly because they limit their free accounts by time, not file size. So the files have been moved to Dropbox, and new links are re-posted here.

maybe a bit of a silly question but can one do spellcraft through art? like drawing a picture with the desired outcome, filling it with symbolism, maybe sigils or runes or hidden messages, with an explicit intention for it to come to life. is this a thing?

yes most certainly :)

I have noticed that sometimes people seem to have this idea that you are really only allowed to cast one spell on a situation, and that's it. Or, you can only cast that specific spell on that situation once, and in order to try again, you have to change spells.

I don't know where this idea comes from. It's not a part of any tradition or school, as far as I'm aware.

Spells can be conceptualized as little guys that you create and release to take a specific kind of action.

You can create and release as many little guys you want, even if they're all trying to do the exact same thing.

There is no "magical law" that dictates you are only ever supposed to have one guy working on a situation at one time, or that if he fails, you can't make a copy to try again.
