10 little subtle ways and things you could be doing that are witchy!

(esp if you're still in the broom closet) ❤️🦊

1. virtual and online altars

pinterest boards dedicated to your gods/goddesses; quotes and aesthetics.

tumblr dedication blogs.

social media page with your witchy alias.

discord server, a private place to organise channels and create categories for what you want, i.e., spellwork, candle magick, crystal associations, etc.

music playlists, for both manifesting and connecting with your deities, they love coming through music.

2. journal/book altars

similar to the idea of a book of shadows, this will be personal writings and thoughts for specific deities.

you can customise it and decorate it much like a physical altar! i.e., stickers, washi tapes, markers, sparkles.

custom spreads for whomever you work with, you can put prayers you've written for them, words you want to convey, and express.

3. the wooden box altar, also known as a travelling altar

a place to put all your trinkets and necessities.

if you're unable to have a physical space, having one that's portable will help you take your altar wherever you go.

you can carve/paint the box to be more personal for you, or to be ultra discreet about it you can just customise the inner part so it doesn't stick out to people you don't want knowing yet.

4. origami shapes

for manifesting, write out what you would like and fold it into a star to carry out the manifestation.

use the idea of symbolism to embed your intentions, for luck, a four leaf clover. for allowing new opportunities to find you and let go, a butterfly, to succeed in something you could make a bird; "soaring to new heights."

you could also use this time to connect with your deities, just being with them in the moment.

5. financial abundance

if you can't blow cinnamon on the first day of the new month, put a dash of it in your morning coffee or tea first thing.

use of coins in the soil of your plants welcomes in prosperity.

likewise with coins, frogs are symbolic of wealth.

a bay leaf where you keep your wallet/purse, the exchange of the money you give out you will receive back with a little extra.

6. kitchen magick/green witchery

add spices/herbs to help achieve something you want i.e.,

pancakes with vanilla and honey to bring in loving and warm energy.

adding pepper/salt/basil/rosemary to encourage protection.

for clarity and insight, chamomile tea.

to have peaceful and calm resolve, lemonade with fresh mint leaves.

7. clothing and jewellery

wearing items of clothing or jewellery in honour of your deities, i.e.

rings, bracelets, and necklaces that symbolise something of them for you.

shirts with quotes you feel resemble them; colour associations work plenty.

if you crochet or make your own items of clothing, knot magick or sewing in a symbol that means something for you can help you feel confident when wearing it.

8. self-care can be devotional

doing things that make you happy whilst doing it in honour of your deities allows them to be present in your simple joys.

writing, poetry, reading; feeling called to read something because it holds a message for you.

indulging a show or something you watched in your childhood years, deities take pleasure in watching something that means alot to you and will be grateful to share that moment.

treats and specific cravings, i.e., little upg, but loki loves sweet pastries.

taking a walk about in nature gives your deities more room to show you the beauty of the world. take them to your favourite bench, to your favourite coffee shop.

knot magick, if you crochet, make something in honour of your gods/goddesses. they will ensure it brings you comfort when you hold it.

painting your nails, you can charge your nail polish beneath the moon or mix in a little moon water to be energised and intuitively connected.

9. cleansing and clearing of old energy

water

will help the bad flow out and let the good flow in.

showers/baths are good for self-cleansing.

holding a glass of water before drinking it and wish your intentions.

crying, allowing yourself to feel what it is you're trying to process in order for it to be released. can't release something you haven't finished going through yet.

moon water, I recommend this during a new moon as that's more symbolic to starting anew, planting seeds and encouragement toward growth.

sun water, can help with energising you and bringing in positive energy, also a confidence boost.

earth

holding onto a crystal for a few moments, just breathing in and out.

crystals can be used for cleansing, smoky quartz, clear quartz. there is a crystal for all your needs.

plants! plants are great for protection and for taking in bad energy. they will listen to what you have to say, and will love you as much as you love them.

food, especially grown from the earth can help you feel refreshed and buzzing with energy.

fire

burning, writing out your hardships, struggles, anger and burning them (safely please).

lighting a candle while you work on something, very therapeutic, and you can visualise the bad energy being burnt out and released.

incense, the smoke is a natural cleanser and will do wonders. you aren't restricted to using sage to cleanse; others you could use are myrrh, sandalwood, lavender, or cedar. it's completely up to what your preferences are.

air

breathing in and out during meditation, as you take in some air and release it, upon release visualise what you're letting go of.

bells, the frequency of dinging bells helps to disperse bad energy.

sound cleansing through soft music, and intentional frequencies. you'll find alot of these up on youtube.

10. divination methods (aside from tarot/pendulums that i know of)

clouds, observing what you see and the shapes you recognise, what you need to know will be reflected in nature.

ceromancy, candle wax, burning a candle after asking for some clarity or an answer and having the wax form a shape for you to interpret.

numerology, angel numbers, and the significance of the numbers.

automatic writing, done in your personal journal, it's unconscious writing that can help channel messages you may need.

bibliomancy, randomly selecting a passage or words from a book.

capnomancy, the use of smoke from candles or incense, and reading the shapes and forms casted by the smoke

conchomancy, divination through seashells, shapes, and the type of shell.

casting a set of charms on a cloth and divinating the meaning of where they landed.

Nine Lokean Virtues:

1. Truth: Be real. Be true to yourself and allow others follow their own truth.

2. Humor: Learn to find the humor in things, especially yourself.

3. Humility: If you need to tie your balls to a goat to accomplish your goals, suck it up buttercup.

4. Cunning: Try to think outside the box. Don't make a mess so big that you can't figure your way out of it.

5. Transformation: Don't be afraid of change, because that's how we grow. Don't be afraid of self-examination and listen to constructive criticism.

6. Creativity: Create awesome stuff. Try new things out. If you don't like it, blow it up and try again.

7. Accountability: You are the only one in charge of your own destiny, your own life, and your own actions.

8. Empathy: Try to see things from more than one perspective. Shape-shift into someone else's shoes before you pass judgement.

9. Experimentation: A mistake is only a mistake if you do it twice. Until then, everything is an experiment.

so like does anyone else understands Baldur's death as in Loki gifted a husband to his daughter? because he's like,,, hella happy about me understanding it like this

[kittykatkattoo]

Thinking about how Loki series Loki is more similar to Norse loki than ever. No I won’t elaborate. No I won’t explain. You will not hear about this again from me for I cannot properly convey the feelings I am feeling in proper words. Just know it’s hoziers fault.

[when-november-ends]

being a norse pagan witch is 10% a pleasant experience and 90% being mad at the old norse people because they didn't write down shit

[c-vs-paganism]

As a pagan thats been practicing in secret since I was 14 and now openly in college, the most important practices to me and my journey arent fancy bottles, they aren't tons of herbs for spells or making holiday feasts that'll run you $20 and up. They're going outside and just experiencing nature, journaling what my tarot cards are telling me and introspection on little everything, finding pdfs of the Eddas, going to my campus dining hall with my friends and dedicating that meal and time to my deities. Paganism is far too commercialized and sensationalized imo, it doesn't have to be complicated: work with what your given, and once you've done that, build on it.

“In the fire of Loki’s forge, we are tempered. We break to be remade, we fall to rise again.”

[artfulendeavors]

I just finished this gorgeous deity commission with Loki and I am obsessed! I need to do more fun god portraits

All gods are welcome, it doesn’t *have* to be Loki lol. I try to make these as special as I can as they mean so much to much. I think it is such a honor to be trusted to express the devotion and love of someone in this way

[candlelit-cemetary]

Hello and good AM/PM!

I want to touch on a subject that I have questions about, and while I am also doing my own research on the side, I am curious about everyone’s UPGs with this certain topic.

I have noticed a certain deity sort of jumping into my space, as of a few months ago, who is quickly becoming more and more prevalent in my life.

At first, I denied their advances to work with me and be a deity to worship, as I wasn’t sure if i could handle the type of power they have, and was quite intimidated.

They have been very persistent (though very kind) and it has gotten to the point where, in the beginning, they hid items from me, and I had to ask them not to. Of course, since then, they have respected the boundaries I have set, but keep checking back in, as if to say “Ok, are you ready… now?”

This being is the Norse godex (*) of Chaos, Loki.

I have been quite intimidated, like I said, and though I know he is kind, I worry about not being ready to match his energy or expectations of me.

So! Onto the question: what is your personal relationship like with Loki? What does worship look like to you? Is there anything I should be prepared for? Please comment/repost your experience or thoughts!

- Ironically as I type this, my kitten comes over rubbing on me for pets, and then got bitey.

(*) I personally refer to Loki with gender-neutral terms as well as all pronouns, since they are VERY genderfluid

[dancingwithfoxes]

Sometimes, the only thing that gives me genuine comfort and strength is knowing that in Loki's space, all parts of me are loved, even the parts I try to hide,,

"You're all quite complex; you feel so deeply for things that may eventually come to pass. You love so hard that there are no words to describe it. I admire the courage it takes to love with such an open heart, this is why I'll be right here, no matter the time or place, to love you as fearlessly as you do others." — loki

Loki appreciation post (Norse Paganism)

I was having an emotional breakdown about something I’d rather not mention and the first thing I thought of doing was grabbing the pendulum and talking to Loki.

For context, I’m a Lokean in a spousal ship with the God of mischief. I triple checked everything and waited for a few weeks to research what I was getting into, as well as Loki’s mythology and history. I’ve never had a problem with Him.

Anyway, I began the conversation by explaining the situation as He listened. He was so understanding and gentle with me as I bawled my eyes out and said that He’d always be here for me when I need Him the most.

I’ve never had this relationship with any other deity. Yeah, He’s a trickster and a massive pain in the ass sometimes, but when something makes me cry, He acts so genuine and caring.

[tadpoles-and-daydreams]

Me, meditating and realizing that every once in a while nothing will make sense bc I'm falling asleep: "Shit that was definitely a dream- I'm not even meditating anymore I'm falling asleep!"

Loki: "Nah man that's powerful stuff I can work with that" >:D

*cue dream nonsense*

Me: "GODDAMNIT okay I'm back."

Loki, who now looks completely different: "He lives!"

Me, confused as fuck: "you look d- shapeshifter, right."

Loki: "YES BUT SEE that's the whole point when you're half asleep you have no resistance and rules of reality shit so I can just do T H A T"
