My account isn’t too popular, so I was kinda hoping you could help out with this… For the past two summers(three in California) the Pacific Northwest’s fire-suppressed forests have been ravaged by wildfires. The sun is red from the smoke and anyone here who cares about the environment is scared. Magically, no one here can do much about it because our supplies are gone and the only weather is smoke. It would mean so much if you could signal boost this and ask our witchy siblings to help out ♥ x

Luckily WA has finally been blessed with clear winds and a little bit of rain, sending those your way ❤

May winds bring a desired turn in the weather, and not the spread of fire. May the ocean share her water and bring the rains. May the fires be quenched and the smoke lift. May the local dwellers, be them plant, animal, human, or other peoples find safety, rest and recovery. May you return to life under a clear sun and finally breathe easy. 

If this is too gross, plz either delete or direct me elsewhere, but any tips on how to save your menstrual blood for the craft?

I’m going to add a read more in case people don’t want to read about the topic!

Not sure if you’re asking how to collect/store it or how to use it. Likely, your best bet would be getting some sort of moon cup style product for collecting. I’ve also heard of soaking pads/tampons in warm water and squeezing them out but that just… doesn’t sound super great. Freezing it is your best option for preserving it, but I think it would be fine in a jar in a dark area for a little bit – not super long though!! 

As to using it in the craft, I haven’t done it because I decided it ain’t worth my energy, but google has lots of info! (Google search of menstrual blood magic [X])

Do you have any short prayers to the olympians? I struggle with a lot of low energy days and its really draining to read long prayers to my deities twice a day (even though i know they deserve the praise and thanks!!! Im just v v chronically ill)

Okay so I feel you and sometimes I just don’t do the long prayers. I feel like they understand. Sometimes me speaking some short gratitude to them is all it takes. It’s all about what it is for you. For abled/neurotypical people, maybe long prayers work. But if you aren’t one/both of those, long prayers may be exhausting and something shorter and heartfelt may be just as powerful 🙂

Hi! So I’m a bit confused about my beliefs. I’m atheist because I don’t think most things in religion can be proved by science, but I feel like a hypocrite bc I’m interested in worshipping the greek gods? I feel more connected to them than the Christian God when I was Christian. But it’s comforting for me to worship Greek gods bc they represent different parts of life. The thing is, they can’t be proven real by science and that’s why I left Christianity, so I feel like a hypocrite. Help 😬

I used to consider myself an atheist because Christianity was NOT my jam. I really love the Theoi because like you said, they really hold different aspects of life and different elemental powers. They can’t be proven real by the science we have (and may never be), but I do consider them connected to science. Many (if not all) of the Theoi are connected to emotions, weather, geological forces, elemental forces, etc. Those are all things that can be explained by science. Perhaps its your appreciation of science that led you to feel connected to the Theoi? 

And, not all religions are the same. They won’t feel the same. They won’t bring up the same thoughts, emotions, beliefs, doubts, etc. You aren’t a hypocrite for feeling different ways about different things. 

Hi! How are you? I feel a little bit confused about everything. I was raised as Christian and I think I believe in Jesus and this God. But at the same time I feel like the theoi actually exist? I can’t stop thinking about ares and Poseidon. I feel like they are with me sometimes, like yesterday I was at the sea and I felt Poseidon’s presence. But the problem is that I’m not sure I believe in them? I just don’t know what to do and what to believe. I hope I was clear, and thanks for your answer!

You say you feel like the Theoi exist but you aren’t sure you believe in them. It sounds like you’re feeling very conflicted, which is something that often happens to people who were raised under a certain religion and discover the draws/different aspects of other religions. I don’t really have a clear answer for you here. I’d encourage you to be open-minded, and to not force yourself to feel/think a certain way. 

Do you think it must be either the Christian God or the Greek gods? Can they both exist? Do you feel called to worship one, both, neither? Do you feel content in acknowledging their presence, or do you feel called to go deeper?

Really take the time to reflect and dig into the deeper questions. This will be a process, and I can’t tell you how it will look for you. I wish you the best of luck in finding some personal answers ❤
