A lot of churches or just religious buildings in general have a very peaceful energy about them
I found theres a Bhuddist temple close by me recently and I was considering going to see what I'd learn. I feel drawn to it like it should be some sort of next step. Even if I dont subscribe to it entirely its still something new, yknow? It is a really gorgeous colorful building though. <3

So, I've been looking into the Salem Witch Trials recently since I plan to write a story based on it and run it parallel to this Cold War story I plan on doing that's set during the McCarthyism era. It's honestly been a little awkward since not only am I interested in witchcraft, but I might also be a socialist (either that, or a liberal).
So glad I was born in the 21st Century. Well, unless reincarnation actually does exist and I might've been a Puritan in a past life.

Ah, yeah, that sounds lovely
I actually went to Salem and got to go to a reenactment of a witch trial. Apparently my group was the first to let her go

I might visit Salem one day. Then again maybe not because I also feel like all that could be a bit much.
My ouija board says made in salem though so I guess theres that.

I'm interested in going to Salem one day too, if only to possibly see a reenactment of the witch trials. I'm also interested of visiting Russia one day.

Oh okay, how does it work? I might not be the best at explaining it but basically like anything else you need to have a reason or a goal for the sigil first, then you can use a number of methods to make one. Theres the picture method, where you sort of draw what you want to accomplish or similar in a minimalist style. The Letters method, where you write out what you want example: "i want to have good luck" and then take certain letters to produce a symbol out of overlapping the letters. You could also combine both methods. Or you can google sigils for specific things and try to use one someone else has already drawn. When you want to activate a certain sigil though is where people debate, some say erasing or clearing it releases the energy outwards, others say you have to periodically charge the sigil whenever you want it to be used.

Same, I've been creeping on the sigil conversation going on xD I've never used them since i don't have any real experience with magic/I'd be afraid to upset some delicate energy balances before getting proper training But they're super fascinating/I've heard the "erase to activate" method before myself. Maybe it's a regional/cultural difference, I dunno I'm doing pretty well, Mint! ^.^ Feeling pretty accomplished, I've managed to revive two of my plants that weren't doing so well (I think the humidity and darkness of the apartment were getting to them), and working on the last sickly one now, which, is at least not worsening. Happy plants make for a happy Thy.

Really? Gimmie the deets. Spill those beans. c: So last night, was the new moon right? Well Artemis kept coming to mind and I had a dream where there was the presence, earthy and female and wild. I had lost my dream gems before I went to sleep and I found them the next morning in my bed. Then all through out the day Artemis kept coming to mind and finally I asked for a sign and there was a rainstorm soon after

Maybe try to meditate and make some sort of offering and try to connect or speak with her? Ask things like why she is appearing now, or what she means to you. Do some in depth research about her etc.

That's cool! (Much like Chester, I can't think of more to say.)
And that sounds like a pruductive use of your time, Thy. And here I am just working at homework. x.x

Mmm, I've tried meditating in the past to reach her and it's been successful before. That being said don't be discouraged if it doesn't work right away, I had to make probably 4-5 attempts before getting through the first time. Also for me it was very much a matter of connecting with nature to get into the mindset, so I tried meditating outside for this purpose (not that that's a hard rule, just my experience, of course)

And here I am just working at homework. x.x I've got what I've lovingly nicknamed "The plant rehab center" going on in my room xD I have some lamps that mimic natural sunlight for example, so I've been moving them around accordingly to try and find the right saturation for each, as well as some need to go by the window to thrive. It's been a long/slightly stressful process but seeing new leaves/growth is so rewarding

The more I think about it the more i feel like Iris isnt a patron so much as I am in service to her to help bring other people messages and clarity from use of my own gifts and her power.
Then again I guess thats kind of what a patron is? Though my relationship with her is much more unspoken and symbolic. Ive only truly communicated with her twice. Where as I've communicated with the other deities of my personal pantheon on many multiple occasions. Yet I still feel closer to her than almost anyone else?

Maybe that is because your like Iris in that way?

That's really neat though?
That's kind of more along the lines of my relationship with Dionysus? Like it's more a reciprocal thing where in return for my personal celebration of theatre and the arts, he gives me good energies in order to put forth a strong performance, or helps me out in other personal projects in a similar fashion. He's never come to me in a dream or meditation. but sometimes theatre or festival imagery can be strong in either of those, or else I just seem to absorb a lot of good energies when in those sorts of environments.

Maybe I should try to better connect with her then though.
Sadly trying to find sources of how she used to be worshipped and what offerings to give is extremely hard to find because she was only a minorly mentioned deity in most texts at best. Even then its mostly just her carrying messages and no hugely notable actions.
