tryggr i need help and i need guidance and also i feel really good and i think its cause i figured out how i make offerings to Poseidon and i also just talked the entire drive home to Persephone just talking to her and thanking her for not making winter cold by florida standards cause im thinking of growing a plant and i just talked to her and it felt nice and i liked it and it made me realize ive only really ever told things to specifically Amaterasu and Poseidon cause they were the ones who appeared to me first and now im like going to talk to at least one every day in the car cause thats like 30min of me just talking and connecting and im happy for some reason and i think Poseidon likes Dr Pepper

That's great, Ghost! And yeah, he might? You should definitely do your offering thing and I'm glad you got to talking with her.
I have been thinking about doing the same thing since you brought it up, and I already have several of my own ideas, mainly for Bast and Thor. (One involves catnip incense I found, hehe.)

i tend to drink a lot of soda so what ive started doing is saving the last of it to pour down the drain when i go to rinse the can or bottle and i think of it as sending it to Poseidon even tho like i know its not going to sea but its what i think of and it migth go to water or soemthing btu i think he understands the intent. I think im going to use growing a plant as my offering to Persephone and taking care of it.
also can you help me with some things? like im stuck on things tho it might be cause i havent really been doign anything cause ive been busy well other than sigils but likke i need some help with some things

okay can you teach me how to do stuff with energy or something i feel like you mentioned it before and i am quite interested cause i feel like energy can tie into emotions and im a bit of an empath tho i cant really control(?) it and so otehr people's emotions end up influencing my own but thats nit the point. also do you know anything about making a book of shadows?

Hmm okay, I'll get back to you on energy manipulation, if that's alright? When it comes to that I'm used to actually being face-to-face with the person I am teaching. It's not one of those things that can be easily worded, but I'll try when I think of it.
As for a book of shadows or grimoire, I never really thought too hard about it, I suppose. There's plenty of formats you can use when writing one for yourself. Traditionally, whenever someone new came into the belief, or was old enough and born into a family that practiced magic, they would start by copying down the writings of their teachers or elder's book into their own, and then adding on to it over time. Of course, I can't exactly just hand you my book here, I will tell you what I have done and the format I've used:
The first few pages contain what I believe to be essentials before working any magic or ritual. I have an actual book for this, leather bound with a lock on it, it was handmade and i bought it fairly expensively. You by no means have to have a book that fancy, a notebook will do just fine, so would a computer-copy. There's also apps out there for phones and such, and quite a lot of them at that. Here goes: 1. A list of my own rules or moral code that I stick myself to. I make it a matter of pride and honor to do so, and if I don't I try my best to right my wrongs, even if another doesn't think it's wrong. You don't have to do this, but I do just to keep myself in check. 2. A list of the full moons of the year, their names, what they celebrate, and their color correspondence, as well as a list of all 8 pagan holidays and the approximate dates they land on every year. The following pages are actually scraps of paper I put in later about how I personally want to celebrate them. 3. Notes. Lots and lots of notes on horoscopes, the houses, the 7 planets, elements and elementals, and runes. Anything I had started researching with to begin with. There's a ton more but that's to name a few. 4. Small chants or prayers I have made or copied. These are kind of inter-mingled with the notes because I was working on them at the same time. It gets kind of muddled from there on, because as I keep learning more I keep making more notes followed by more spells or other things. But more recently I've made/am working on the addition of how I am with my Gods. It's also a bit of a diary where I've dated and documented experiences. And almost a scrapbook with certain things I piece together from other notes or printouts. I even have 3 4-leaf-clovers taped inside of it that I had found over the summer.

This is mine. I took a picture of it a while ago with a few of my stones and my incense holder just for the aesthetic.

ah its okay if you cant its fine i just was wondering its ojay if yiu cant
okay i think i know how im going to start. I was thinking of starting with a liek bio of myself. I'm using a sketchbook but i might get somethign at a con near me in august that has leather stuff and i have something but it alreayd has stuff written in it but its hard to see so i think my sketchbook will be good considerign most of what im doing is sigils and i want to put them in my book of shadows in case i want ot use them again or use them as reference for making one for someoen else if i ever do that.

If you're doing a lot of drawing sigils then yeah, a sketchbook makes a ton of sense! I would help you as a better mentor if i could and I'll do my best to help everyone for now but I'm not confident in my own skills yet to be fully dedicated to somethin' like that just yet. ^_^;

Dang it guys, now I WANT to teach you this stuff. Hmmm.... Maybe I could set up a rabbit stream this weekend and kind of show you all what I have and how I use it?
I'm gonna toss some links on the front page about God/desses of different religions for starters and maybe a few extra things, since that seems to be what you all want to talk about.
Be right back~
