I see posts pretty often in the tags about feeling disconnected from the gods, and I heartily, vociferously encourage you:

to pour a glass of water, take it outside, say “thank you/I love you, [god’s name]”, and pour it out

Make offerings. When you struggle with focus or feel unsettled or think you can’t concentrate, that’s what ritual is for. That’s what the patterns are for. Make an offering, tell Them thank you. Repeat forever.

Candle Spell For an Upcoming Conversation

teaspellsandsecrets:

I used this spell for clearing the waters with some people I felt there had been a miscommunication with. You can use this to help ease a conversation that may be difficult, or help open the conversation up to be more honest and true. 

Tools & Ingredients:

  • A yellow candle(white will do as well, something small like a chime candle, or tea light. Even a birthday candle. Depending on how big you want the spell, you can do a pillar  candle, but this would be a very in-depth working if you chose to do so.)
  • Paper & pen
  • Names & birthdays of all involved
  • Carving object(knife, toothpick, your nail, etc.)
  • Anointing oil(olive oil works fine, but I used chamomile for manifesting and peace)
  • Salt (to absorb negative energy)
  • Lavender(to bring peace and understanding to the conversation)

Best to preform on a Wednesday, sometime before noon. This isn’t mandatory, just gives the spell a little *oomfph*.

Affirmation:

“Tell me what I need to know

all your feelings out to show

problems between us will be solved

negative energies be dissolved.”

Preforming the spell:

  1. Gather your tools. Cleanse your space. Cast your circle if that’s what you wish.
  2. Write the names and birthdates of all who you will be confronting, including yourself.
  3. Carve a sigil, or words such as “understanding,” or “communication” in your candle, along with the initials of all involved. 
  4. Anoint your candle, and dress in lavender. If you cannot dress your candle, sprinkle the salt and lavender in a clockwise circle around your candle.
  5. Set your candle in a holder and recite the affirmation if you wish. 
  6. Light your candle, and recite the affirmation as many times as you like.
  7. Let your candle burn down, meditating on how you will approach the conversation, what points you would like to be understood and being open to the other persons feelings and views. 
  8. Let the candle burn down, or close it by blowing it out. 

You can of course change this as you need, being that no two situations are the same. Do your best to end on a positive feeling, knowing that whatever the situation may be, the outcome will be where you will come to a mutual understanding. 

Good luck my friends! 

I love this spell – reblogging again since it’s worked so well for me!

is there a god/goddess associated with sunsets/sunrises? i’ve always have felt a connection with them

It really depends on the pantheon! This is one of those things that is great to google because I’m not knowledgeable on all of the deities that are out there. 

For the Greek pantheon: 

  • Eos is the goddess of dawn
  • Neaera is a nymph whose name means new-rising and was believed to be a minor goddess of dawn
  • Alectrona is the goddess of morning
  • Apollon is god of the sun
  • Helios is god of the sun

*Note: For many of the deities I listed above, they are often the god/dess of many things with the above mentioned being only one of their aspects. 

Searching “Deity of sunset/sunrise/sun/solar” will likely provide you with some helpful lists of those deities within pantheons I’m less familiar with! 🙂
