How I See My Deities! Because I Know Everyone Cares

How I see my deities! Because I know everyone cares ☺️

Ok so basically, I mostly see my deities how they are pictured in Hades (the game) 😭 especially Aphrodite because when I was researching how to worship her, even before I saw the game, the post I saw used her hades picture as the picture so I’ve seen her like that ever since. Dionysus and Ares kinda have two forms to me. First there’s white boy Dionysus (I like to call it) and then hades Dionysus. For Ares, there’s frat boys ares and hades ares. Weird I know but lmao 😭 ok enough of that I’m gonna use the picrews I made ! Enjoy ig

M’lady Aphrodite

As you can see, it’s all pretty consistent. I really see her as having dark tan skin, blue eyes, but I would say more dark blue eyes (even tho on the picrews, they are light), and having long pink hair. I would say to like her middle back.

There will be three posts because I just found out there’s a ten picture limit 😔

Ares

Dionysus

Hey, there! Thank you for being here <3 First, I know how tired you must be right now. You're not only a hardworker, but you tend to overwork yourself. Let's face it, even though you do all the hard work, it seems like nothing's coming out of it. No matter how many times you try to perfect your work or craft, you can't seem to get the results that you want. But please listen to me first, it's totally ALRIGHT to not get it right or perfect. You're human. And whether we like it or not—being humans make us flawed. But that's what make it beautiful isn't? You may not be perfect, but you're already enough <3

Please take some breaks too. I know you're overworking yourself to the point that you don't get enough sleep or you may even forgot to eat your meals. Stop. I want you to take care of yourself because you deserve it. You know, you've done so well and so much. If you can't see that, then at least try to believe me. Hey, you may see that you haven't done anything at all and that's why you keep pushing yourself; but see here—in your whole life, you have helped people, made them smile and laugh, and you shared some of your love to them too, and not just to other people but to yourself and maybe to some of your animal friends too.

You are one of the reasons why someone is happy right now, why someone is not giving up right now, why someone is living a little better than before right now. Isn't that beautiful? The perfection that you're aiming is nothing compared to that. You don't have to worry. You're doing well, love <3

PS: SERIOUSLY, GO GIVE YOURSELF A VACATION OR SOMETHING, YOU LITTLE B- I'm seriously gonna come over your house and bang on your door til it breaks if I find out you've been forgetting yourself again I- (I'M JUST SAYING THAT TAKING CARE OF YOURSELF IS A MAJOR MESSAGE HERE. GET IT?)

Heyyyy, lovely people <3 Just wanna let you know that you're just so damn drop-dead gorgeous. No, I'm fucking serious. You. Are. Beautiful. <3 When are you going to see yourself the way that someone loves you? You're like the sun that brighten anyone's day. The world is so lucky to have you around. You literally have no idea how much your existence matters in this world. Really, I thank you for being born and for being here right now.

Stop being so hard on yourself, please. You are a wonderful and beautiful person, inside and out. You're literally an angel here on earth. Stop comparing yourself to other people. So you think they're beautiful and that you'll never be as beautiful as them? So what! That's their own beauty, but you? You're literally the only one who holds that beauty of yours. Start looking at yourself in the mirror without all the hatred, criticism, and negativity. Start smiling right now and see that beauty you have in you. Be gentle to yourself, okay? Before needing other people's love and admiration, you need your admiration and love for yourself first and foremost. Everything around you will fall into place in the right time.

I would kiss you on your forehead right now and wipe those tears away if I could, but I can only hope that these words will reach you. You've been struggling and crying in silence, and you think you're alone, but you're not. Okay? Me and lot of people are here for you, even if we don't know each other. The right people will come to you in the right time, and let me tell you—they'll love you from your head to toe because you're a beautiful soul <3

So for now, give yourself some of that love of yours too. Because you deserve it and you own it. I'm sending some of my love to you too :)

Hey, you. Yeah, the one who's reading this right now—I'm talking about you. You know, what? I'm so proud of you for trying every single day. Whether you tried all you could, or tried little, that's still something to be proud of. We live in a society where everyone forgets about the little efforts that we do, and for those of us who are aware of that, the best we can do is to remind people around us. And yeah, it's a shame sometimes that no one sees that in you too, and that's why we gotta take that step to tell ourselves. But for now, I'll be the one telling you that I'm proud of all the little and big things you have done <3 You're amazing, love. I'm proud of you because after all the things you have gone through—you're still here with us. That alone proves how strong you are. You should be proud of yourself about that too. You've been trying and striving to better yourself everyday, and honestly, who wouldn't be proud of that?! That takes a whole lot of courage, and I really appreciate that about you.

You may not be in a good situation right now, but I'm telling you that better days are coming for you. You just gotta have faith in that, yeah? (Oh, look at that there's 555) I'm so proud of you that you're still holding on and giving up is not in your options. You keep on trying and trying again, and even though there were times that you felt like giving up and that everything is just so hard, you didn't. You stand up right after stumbling down. You got this attitude that screams, “not today, devil.” Yep, and the devil never gets to you, but rather it would fear you. Um, I'm speaking metaphorically. But maybe that can also mean literally, LOL.

I gotta tell you, your past and future self are very thankful to you right now. You're so strong, it's admirable and inspiring. A lot of people will look up to you and it'll inspire them to never give up too. Stay strong and awesome, lovely human, okay? <3

How to Meditate When You’re Neurodivergent

For those of you who may or may not know, I am autistic. Because of this, there are a few aspects of the witchcraft experience that can be, well, tricky for me.

When I started about 5-ish years ago, I figured that you had to do witchcraft exactly the way people told you. Some of the time, this wasn’t an issue. Other times, it was.

Because I was diagnosed at a young age, I have learned a lot about how to mask my symptoms. This meant that my craft was also very heavily centered around neurotypical approaches to the craft (rituals, spellwork, etc.). It was fine for a while. However, recently I have been slowly working on unmasking and getting a better sense as to how I truly function, and I’ve found that more neurodivergent ways of doing witchcraft actually work better for me!

Recently, there have been many posts circulating around that focus on how traditional meditation doesn’t work for all minds, and people sharing their own ways of mindfulness without sacrificing things their neurodivergent mind needs.

I figured I’d share some ways I’ve been practicing “new mindfulness” and how it’s been working for me, as well as other techniques I have seen that could help others.

1. Lots and lots of stimming

Meditation/mindfulness requires a certain amount of brain power. Not much, but enough. The traditional ways of meditation normally involve you “staying perfectly still” and “clearing your mind”. For me, they did work, to a point. But coming out of meditation didn’t always leave me relaxed or more aware. A lot of the time it felt exhausting, like I was holding my breath.

For me, stimming is almost equivalent to breathing. I do it constantly, and if I’m not doing it in some capacity, my brain goes beserk. Stimming helps me to focus on something. It keeps my brain occupied, that way I can do other things that require an x amount of brain power. Stimming also helps me deter any anxiety/panic attacks that may arise!

Something you can do, which I’ve been testing out, is doing very “intense” stimming exercises to help practice mindfulness. What I do is put on some noise cancelling headphones, cover myself in blankets, and do some sensory stimming. The only thing I can sense is what I am feeling, and I focus on that to a strong degree.

2. Hyperfocusing

This is kinda related to stimming, but this is a bit different, and more like how traditional mediation actually works. In normal mindfulness, you pick something to focus on, and then you focus on it. You’re not necessarily “clearing your mind”, you’re just finding something to fixate on, and letting thoughts go past you without paying attention to them.

Normally what I do is focus on a sound or sensation, since a lot of my stimming habits revolve around these two things. I’ll either put on some music or some form of white noise and just focus on it. Or, when I’m charging something during my meditation, I focus on how it feels.

However, don’t force yourself to focus on one thing! I know that sounds hypocritical, but if you make yourself hear your ceiling fan and only your ceiling fan, you’re not going to meditate well and you’ll end up not feeling great when you come out of the session. 

Instead, let your mind focus on something else. If your mind instead wants to focus on the traffic outside, let it. If your mind wants to focus on how the bed feels underneath you, let it. With practice, your mind will do these jumps less frequently, but jumping from one focus to another isn’t a bad thing, as a matter of fact it is 100% normal!

3. Movement

Contrary to popular belief, meditation doesn’t always have to be when you’re standing still. If it is easier to be calm while in motion, then do so! This can be something small as stimming to something big like going for a run. Ridding yourself of any internal or external distractions is key to successful meditation sessions. So, if motion helps you to focus and helps ease the mind, the motion you should do!

A lot of the times when I stim, I pace back and forth in one spot. I find that when I do that, I get a lot less brain fog. I can be more creative, think things through more efficiently, and help to fight back against any anxiety my brain tries to wrap me into. I end up focusing on one thing for long periods of time, which, in a way, is kinda like meditation if you think about it!

So, the takeaway…

When I’ve done some of these things stated above. I feel a lot more calm. Some of the grounding/charging exercises I did in the past would sometimes give me trouble. Now, I can do them a lot more easily I find I can practice my craft more effectively than before, meaning I can achieve better results in anything I do with it!

Am I telling you you should do exactly what I do to help you meditate? No, not in the slightest. However, it might give you some ideas as to how to better approach meditation and mindfulness. It may also help broaden your perspective a bit onto how meditation really works, and that’s there’s no “one size fits all” way of doing it either. 

Happy witchcrafting!
