@Story Pennock well for me I get messages through dreams spirit communication, visions sometimes(actually confirmed Anubis was reaching out) it’s also been a longtime fascination with death and how it’s treated in different cultures. It depends also on who you think might be reaching out.
I've been practicing a year and a half, maybe 2 years, been a process. But the warnings they give "baby witches" against deities has really held back my practice. I have crippling depression and anxiety and I don't always have energy or routine so I've avoided fully worshipping my deity because of the fear they put in me (other pagans) so it really helped me to hear you say not to worry if you miss an offering or mess up! Thank you for that💜 she has been good to me and I feel bad being afraid of her. She's been nothing but loving since she popped up a year ago

I also worship Persephone, everyone's experience will be different but in mine she likes it when I offer my flowers up to her. I like to watch the cycle of life and death happen on her altar, it's just super symbolic to me. I also draw, spend time in nature for her and light candles in her name. Just a few ideas from my own experiences! Hope this helps! (I feel I bond with her quite a bit over her mythology and just talking over her candle, too) 💗💗
i also worship persephone! i made her the matron of my witch business, i do all my work for her, she enjoys watching me work, i also made her al altar next to my Hecate altar and they get along great ( i asked hecate for permission first.) I leave her cypress leaves, pomogrante seeds, some of the money i make from my products and yes i agree with the vanilla incense! also just singing along to songs about her oor making up short little tunes for her really creats a beautiful energy. I tend to shift how i work with her depending on the time of year, so in the spring and summer i will work all things nature based and abundance based and then in the fall and winter when she goes down to the underworld with hades i work with her and hecate (and hades if he so pleases) on my shadow work, divination, new goals, kitchen witchery etc
@@AliceTheChaosWitch In my late teens and a few times in my 20's I shown a group of at lest nine women how to summon an avatar chanting hE'Kat'E within a circle of three inter locking triangles.

Sweetheart you just came with the topic I am currently studying about 💖💖💖 Btw. I'm totally astonished how respectfully you speak about your Dieties and how you actually incorporate your life into becoming a person on their image. Recently I've started worshipping Goddess Aset/Au Set/Isis and I really got new perspective on it from you. I am very grateful for your knowledge 🙏
Aaaaaah! This is so wonderful and perfect timing! I've felt so attracted to Hekate and Lilith, and even loki to some extent, and it's so hard to find good information about deity worship!
Our Goddess of the crossroads has helped me with some SERIOUS decisions. She won't do all the work for you. But, She's definitely got your back! Wishing you peace in your practice. Blessed be, and be well.
I have always wanted to know more about Morgan Le Fey but mostly find media stuff. Old high priestesses and women figures have always felt so important to me, mostly Athena and Morgana.
If you like to read i have a book for you for The Morrigan. Its called Celtic Lore & Spellcraft of the Dark Goddess by Stephanie Woodfield. Its filled with stuff about The Morrigan
as someone from an Irish folk catholic upbringing I feel like a lot of fear of the divine is deeply rooted in protestantism and not as much in catholicism !!!
I started worshipping Pan, but then remembered I'm already awkward as heck around new people, and then we're not even talking deities yet. So how I make my offering is pretty much: Here you go! *runs away* Don't get me wrong though, I'm giving it happily.
Oh hello fellow worshipper of Inanna! How's your experience with her been? She's kind of decided that I need to work with her, so I've been worshipping her, and more recently her sister Ereshkigal has also reached out to me. I find that Inanna is quite intense, but her guidance has definitely helped me a LOT.
I've started working with Ares. To him I've been devoting the studying and collecting or military items. It's a hobby I've done for a while and now i get to share my joy for these anicent items with him. And ares has witnessed all these wars he's seen them all come and go and i think he appreciates that i take time to remember and honor the soldiers who have fought and died and that i do so without bias. I look at all sides of history and try to understand all sides and i always make it a point to not just honor the soldiers of my Nation but those of others who are serving or who have served and given all for their nations.
1) thank you for this, I’ve been wanting to start researching but really didn’t know where or how to start 2) your haircut looks really good! It suits you!
Ironically I follow you on tiktok and I was thinking about my work with Loki and where to start and this pops up. Thank you for all the information I’m definitely more confident on where to start 🖤
🥺 i know this is off topic and not related to the video but ilysm, everytime i see you on the screen it's like seeing idk an elder sister or sm, i wish i could reach out and hug you because you've brought a lot of light and happiness into my life as well as being a very good peer to peer mentor to me ♡ thank you
Growing up around gods I never thought of whether I do things right or wrong but since this video keeps popping up I mean I might suck at deity worship, thank Hecate she hasn’t cursed me yet :,)
I work with her to and she is not just the war goddess. She is the goddess of wisdom and crafts to. She likes when i read and learn new things ,create things ,paint ,read about her ,write poetry or something for her. Meditate and give her offerings. Listen to songs that remind you of her. Pray. Study. She apreciatte little things.
Absolutely! I’ve recently begun working with Athena as well as I’ve had a big push to up my reading goals and gain knowledge wherever I can. I’m also starting a workout journey as well but that’s been on my back burner for now. Remember that deities can work with us in many different ways! So I definitely think working out is a great way of honoring Athena :) maybe add a chant or prayer in her honor before and after a workout session
i appreciate so much your time and effort to share your experiences. Its so lovely to listen and notice how you aproach in such a light and still full of knwoledge. thank you
I don't know if she mentioned love letters or songs & dance. My work with different Goddesses specifically Love & Sexuality Goddesses really like love songs and dance and love letters.
A key thing to bear in mind when it comes to devotion to a divinity or to ancestors, that it's to cultivate humility, among other things and abandoning ego. Many people today think in terms of "me, me, me" in this age.
I think editing frankie forgot a few things. I think my dieties understand I'm still human and they're not going to hold to accountable for every little mistake I make. I love you too!!
This was such an amazing video!! I just recently started worshiping Aphrodite and have been wanting to do the same for Hermes and this made me feel like I’m taking a step In the right direction with my work :)
I have a question, this is something I've tried finding the answer to online and I can't find much about it, and what I do find is confusing. While doing Deity Worship, I often set out food/drink offerings to the Gods (I am a Norse Pagan if that helps with this), but I am unsure on how to properly dispose of these offerings. Is it ok to consume these offerings afterwards, or is there a better way to dispose of them? I feel throwing them in the trash is very disrespectful, so I avoid doing that. btw, your hair looks awesome
This is a great question. I often find that it depends on the practitioner! For me, they sit for a week or so, and if they are still edible (like Oreos or wrapped candy) I will consume them with my deities permission. Otherwise, you can put them in the compost or dump them outside! I have put items in the trash that are not compostable with no issue, but like I said it depends on the practitioner!
this video actually dispelled some of my fears around deities in general. thanks for this, i'll do some more research and maybe try and find one that i resonate with and vring them into my life
I only found out Freyja wanted to work with me because of you, I'd see a tik tok of yours talking about how Freyja communicates with you and she would do that exact same thing to me, after asking for a lot of proof we're finally communicating and you're definitely a bridge to that, so thank you so much, you are the best!
I am so excited that you posted this! Im on my journey trying to learn how to worship a particular deity that I have been interested in for awhile! This video definitely helped!!
i worship/work with Hades, and lately i've been feeling a bit overwhelmed about being consistent with offerings and such. this video helped a lot though, ty for making it :)) also side note -- your hair looks great!
I’ve been doing deity work for about five weeks now, and it’s one of the most fulfilling things I’ve ever experienced, especially after 23 years of Christianity I’m still working out what rituals work best for Athena, but I’ve taken to wearing an owl charm necklace whenever I wake up, and ask for her wisdom and courage to help guide me throughout my day. She’s very patient with me, being a baby witch, and she’s been very direct with me when I ask for her advice, and I always feel like I’m going overboard with my thanks whenever I give her offerings 😂
I’ve always loved the pageantry and the symbolism of the Catholic Church in which I was raised but my current practices only include St Francis, Mother Mary and Mary Magdalene. The rest all pagan!
I have really felt this pull(?) to learn more about Lucifer. I've did extensive research and have some solid points down, but I know I haven't learned everything yet, because you never really learn every single thing. I do want to work with him in the future, I think I'll start with worship. And it's not really because of fear, but because I genuinely adore him. Personally I feel like he's a teacher figure, but I haven't tried anything practical yet.
Loki told me THANK YOU (to you, not me lol) for finally being the thing to get through to me that he's been trying to get my attention. It was actually one of your tiktoks that finally got through. I don't do diety work, so I was just writing it all off as other spiritual stuff going on. Whoops
I’m so grateful that I found your account. I’m a baby witch, but as soon as I started studying witchcraft, I felt drawn to paganism and the idea of deity work. I’m extremely aware that I’m nowhere near ready for actually working with a deity, but I still wanted to do something rooted in that idea. I’ve been researching Hellenistic paganism, and this video got me super excited to start deity worship. Thank you so much for creating this content and helping guide others!
Thank you so much!!! I really appreciate that you made this video and that you’re doing so much to help out the practitioner community! I hope you have a wonderful Freyjas day and please go get some water!
Recently seeing all your mentions of Diana had intrigued me, and then the casual drop of her being connected to faeries just made my brain light up and I accidentally researched for an hour instead of going to bed... Knowing her links to Mary (I was raised Catholic) and her connection to the moon and now the fey is like 👀 dude when I was a child I had a motherly fairy figure that I would direct my bedtime prayers to and Mary was always the most appealing entity in Christianity to me, and I LOVE looking at the moon... I've been kind of interested in learning about worshipping deities but there's just so many that I didn't really know who to start with... Might start by looking into Diana a bit more 💖 ✌️ thanks for sharing your journey and information
8:20 I struggle here with these couple of statements but I’m doing my best to empower myself and to embrace a wholesome and holistic attitude and approach to life
Thank you so much this helped really greatly. I'm just starting on my worship to Lady Nyx, she's the very first deity I'm worshiping along with starting my practice. I'm devoting time to learn about her, her myth, her lore, her associations and it makes me really happy learning about her.
Hiya, ty so much! i love you ladies of the witchy net, olivia, nike, and yu Frankie! So much amazing information for living the Craft not just the woowoo stuff. Be well!!
I'm so glad you posted this! I just watched your other deity video yesterday! I've been struggling with the worship aspect of witchcraft since I started practicing. I used to be Christian but no longer worship that god. I enjoyed the process of worship and prayer though, so I'm very thankful for this info!
Reconstructionist here! It's very interesting that modern pagans always ovemphasise picking or choosing a "patron deity" to focus on. We're polytheists, meaning we believe in many gods! Old polytheists worshiped many, hundreds even, of gods all at the same time, patron deities were fairly uncommon. They called on and worshiped whichever deity the needed at that particular time. I suspect this is probably Christian/monotheistic baggage.
Interesting video. I don't call myself Christian but I follow the Christian God. Yet lately I feel a connection to Gaia and Brigid. I think it's because I used to practice witchcraft. I don't feel that witchcraft is my path anymore but I am thinking of still honouring the goddess because I still feel that connection to her. I know you can pursue paganism without witchcraft. I'm just trying to work out how that works in practice as I'm finding it hard to find information/ books on that. If yourself or anyone in the comments has any suggestions of websites or books please let me know. I guess this would be christopaganism.
Thank you so much Frankie for making these videos. They help so much. I've been struggling with beginning my worship and work with certain deities who have been with me for years. This video shows me how I can give back (coincidently I work with two deities you mentioned in the video). You are very appreciated x
ooh good to know im gonna do more research though but i really want to start worshipping apollo and the morrigan, i got some candles for them already (lemon tart for apollo, apples and cinnamon for the morrigan), im super excited
I'm worshipping Ecate and I feel so honored and grateful, she's such a badass, but sweet at the same time. She wants a drawing made by me, since I draw and paint. Plus, I usually give her offerings daily, just little things but she appreciates it. I prey to her and light a dark candle every night, when she is stronger, since she loves darkness and the night time. Yes, sometimes I fear that she could get angry towards me, but I'm trying to do my best, and she's always been very understanding. She is making me growing a lot, I feel so much centered and stronger. The thing that she appreciates the most though is seeing that I put effort at learning Magick
Hi, I really love your content and as someone who is very new to all of this, I really appreciate your content greatly. Thank you for making it. P.s. greetings from Germany
Thank you very much for this video, I was feeling very insecure about my worship cause I mainly do acts of devotion and I felt like I was bad for not doing more, while I do wanna branch out more with offerings and prayers and such this did make me feel alot better about the ground in which I stand currently, also the part where you mentioned about how they arent gonna pushin you if you make a mistake but ruther try to nudge you into a better direction, thank you, I feel like religious trauma from growing up has made me very scared of how I practice and in turn, Im not as involved as I want to, heck in a way I feel like this video was a nudge towards taking abetter direction, thank you alot for this video, I hope you have a lovely day
Something I do in devotion to Artemis is maintaining my celibacy and virginity like she does. No partners, no children, no marriage. I find it important in my path.
because it's spring i decided to make ice tea with loose tea containing pomegranate for persephone and im going on a walk and appreciating the flowers and the green
I’ve been struggling working with my patron Thoth recently, mostly because I feel blocked up, and this video popped up while I was searching visualization. So I guess I’ll be watching this now.
very nice explaination, thank you for posting i think lots of people do get confused on what they should be doing, but once understood it helps them to be balanced when with their Deities, blessings Halsa Valang
Thank you so much for this! I’ve tried to find recourses for purely the worship of Satan but whenever I try and look into it it’s purely full of research about atheistic satanism, so thank you!
This has eased my fear into working with a deity :) just recently have i started to connect with witchcraft again and this time it feels good like its the right time to get into it again and I dont feel pressured about it. Im just taking one day at a time and just doing simple things like cleansing, sigils and doing things with intention like my crocheting. Started on a new headscarf today, a white one with the intention of protection. I feel drawn to maybe try and work with a deity as id like to also reconnect with the comfort of having a higher being watch over me and guide me. As a kid I used to go to church, sunday school etc and although I no longer personally believe in jesus etc. I do believe that there is always something/someone watching over us whether that be God, Freyja, Thor etc.
I think one of best things I've done with Hades is literally sit in front of his altar and just eat pomegranates with him
that sounds very pleasant 😌
Did he like it?
Amazing
that sounds so nice
sounds glorious-
I was always so scared of Gods and I always thought if I messed up I’d die. Turns out worshipping the right god makes you feel more alive then dead.

Btw. I'm totally astonished how respectfully you speak about your Dieties and how you actually incorporate your life into becoming a person on their image. Recently I've started worshipping Goddess Aset/Au Set/Isis and I really got new perspective on it from you.
I am very grateful for your knowledge 🙏
Are you not from discord ?
Aaaaaah! This is so wonderful and perfect timing! I've felt so attracted to Hekate and Lilith, and even loki to some extent, and it's so hard to find good information about deity worship!
Our Goddess of the crossroads has helped me with some SERIOUS decisions. She won't do all the work for you. But, She's definitely got your back! Wishing you peace in your practice. Blessed be, and be well.
there are soooooooooo many Gods and Goddesses that i would love to worship
It took me, raised Catholic, a long time to even consider that I *could* worship them.
I have always wanted to know more about Morgan Le Fey but mostly find media stuff. Old high priestesses and women figures have always felt so important to me, mostly Athena and Morgana.
So have I! It’s difficult to find accurate older stories that describe her as more than an “evil witch” though.
If you like to read i have a book for you for The Morrigan. Its called Celtic Lore & Spellcraft of the Dark Goddess by Stephanie Woodfield. Its filled with stuff about The Morrigan
as someone from an Irish folk catholic upbringing I feel like a lot of fear of the divine is deeply rooted in protestantism and not as much in catholicism !!!
I think this is a great take tbh. Thank you!
I agree! I had to move through this in my early 20s and release the fear. grateful for these practices
The Catholic God is a god of love. The Protestant God is a god of fire and brimstone.
@@ivyarianrhod "A god of love" that condemns to hell babies who haven't been baptized? Have I misunderstood?
It's true. Catholics have always had the shelter of Our Lady and the saints.
I started worshipping Pan, but then remembered I'm already awkward as heck around new people, and then we're not even talking deities yet. So how I make my offering is pretty much: Here you go! *runs away* Don't get me wrong though, I'm giving it happily.
Who is Pan your demon
@@bornintowitchcraftnowchris6635 that sentence doesn’t make sense...
@@bornintowitchcraftnowchris6635 Yeah, I'm not gonna have this convo with you. Byeeee
How long you been a witch?
@@minniemoo3148 you scared 😱 to talk to me I can see this
I started worshipping Inanna and while it's definitely more difficult to research her, I feel so much closer to my "ancient" ancestors and even myself
Oh hello fellow worshipper of Inanna! How's your experience with her been? She's kind of decided that I need to work with her, so I've been worshipping her, and more recently her sister Ereshkigal has also reached out to me.
I find that Inanna is quite intense, but her guidance has definitely helped me a LOT.
I've started working with Ares. To him I've been devoting the studying and collecting or military items. It's a hobby I've done for a while and now i get to share my joy for these anicent items with him. And ares has witnessed all these wars he's seen them all come and go and i think he appreciates that i take time to remember and honor the soldiers who have fought and died and that i do so without bias. I look at all sides of history and try to understand all sides and i always make it a point to not just honor the soldiers of my Nation but those of others who are serving or who have served and given all for their nations.
When the hair, vibe, and content all match it's just everything
1) thank you for this, I’ve been wanting to start researching but really didn’t know where or how to start
2) your haircut looks really good! It suits you!
YOU LOOK SO PRETTY 😩🥺🥺
Ironically I follow you on tiktok and I was thinking about my work with Loki and where to start and this pops up. Thank you for all the information I’m definitely more confident on where to start 🖤
🥺 i know this is off topic and not related to the video but ilysm, everytime i see you on the screen it's like seeing idk an elder sister or sm, i wish i could reach out and hug you because you've brought a lot of light and happiness into my life as well as being a very good peer to peer mentor to me ♡ thank you
Growing up around gods I never thought of whether I do things right or wrong but since this video keeps popping up I mean I might suck at deity worship, thank Hecate she hasn’t cursed me yet :,)
I work/worship Athena but since I work out everyday, could that be a way of honouring her since she's a war goddess?
I work with her to and she is not just the war goddess. She is the goddess of wisdom and crafts to.
She likes when i read and learn new things ,create things ,paint ,read about her ,write poetry or something for her. Meditate and give her offerings. Listen to songs that remind you of her. Pray. Study. She apreciatte little things.
If you are doing something to better your physical health, I would say absolutely
@@whateve3r may i ask how did you reach athena / how did she reach you?
I would say she would definately appreciate the mental strategy that goes into your "plan of attack" so to speak
Absolutely! I’ve recently begun working with Athena as well as I’ve had a big push to up my reading goals and gain knowledge wherever I can. I’m also starting a workout journey as well but that’s been on my back burner for now. Remember that deities can work with us in many different ways! So I definitely think working out is a great way of honoring Athena :) maybe add a chant or prayer in her honor before and after a workout session
i appreciate so much your time and effort to share your experiences. Its so lovely to listen and notice how you aproach in such a light and still full of knwoledge. thank you
I. LOVE. THE. HAIR. U LOOK SO AMAZING OMG
Im actually devoting this day to one of my gods!!!
I don't know if she mentioned love letters or songs & dance. My work with different Goddesses specifically Love & Sexuality Goddesses really like love songs and dance and love letters.
A key thing to bear in mind when it comes to devotion to a divinity or to ancestors, that it's to cultivate humility, among other things and abandoning ego. Many people today think in terms of "me, me, me" in this age.
I think editing frankie forgot a few things. I think my dieties understand I'm still human and they're not going to hold to accountable for every little mistake I make. I love you too!!
This was such an amazing video!! I just recently started worshiping Aphrodite and have been wanting to do the same for Hermes and this made me feel like I’m taking a step In the right direction with my work :)
I have a question, this is something I've tried finding the answer to online and I can't find much about it, and what I do find is confusing. While doing Deity Worship, I often set out food/drink offerings to the Gods (I am a Norse Pagan if that helps with this), but I am unsure on how to properly dispose of these offerings. Is it ok to consume these offerings afterwards, or is there a better way to dispose of them? I feel throwing them in the trash is very disrespectful, so I avoid doing that. btw, your hair looks awesome
This is a great question. I often find that it depends on the practitioner! For me, they sit for a week or so, and if they are still edible (like Oreos or wrapped candy) I will consume them with my deities permission. Otherwise, you can put them in the compost or dump them outside! I have put items in the trash that are not compostable with no issue, but like I said it depends on the practitioner!
I love how respectful you are. ❤You also have such informative videos.
this video actually dispelled some of my fears around deities in general. thanks for this, i'll do some more research and maybe try and find one that i resonate with and vring them into my life
I only found out Freyja wanted to work with me because of you, I'd see a tik tok of yours talking about how Freyja communicates with you and she would do that exact same thing to me, after asking for a lot of proof we're finally communicating and you're definitely a bridge to that, so thank you so much, you are the best!
I am so excited that you posted this! Im on my journey trying to learn how to worship a particular deity that I have been interested in for awhile! This video definitely helped!!
Thank you so much for this! I’ve been wanting to get into deity worship, and I’m taking this as a sign to get started. You’re the best!
i worship/work with Hades, and lately i've been feeling a bit overwhelmed about being consistent with offerings and such. this video helped a lot though, ty for making it :)) also side note -- your hair looks great!
I’ve been doing deity work for about five weeks now, and it’s one of the most fulfilling things I’ve ever experienced, especially after 23 years of Christianity
I’m still working out what rituals work best for Athena, but I’ve taken to wearing an owl charm necklace whenever I wake up, and ask for her wisdom and courage to help guide me throughout my day.
She’s very patient with me, being a baby witch, and she’s been very direct with me when I ask for her advice, and I always feel like I’m going overboard with my thanks whenever I give her offerings 😂
Your hair is SO LOVELY!!!
I’ve always loved the pageantry and the symbolism of the Catholic Church in which I was raised but my current practices only include St Francis, Mother Mary and Mary Magdalene. The rest all pagan!
I have really felt this pull(?) to learn more about Lucifer. I've did extensive research and have some solid points down, but I know I haven't learned everything yet, because you never really learn every single thing.
I do want to work with him in the future, I think I'll start with worship. And it's not really because of fear, but because I genuinely adore him. Personally I feel like he's a teacher figure, but I haven't tried anything practical yet.
Loki told me THANK YOU (to you, not me lol) for finally being the thing to get through to me that he's been trying to get my attention. It was actually one of your tiktoks that finally got through. I don't do diety work, so I was just writing it all off as other spiritual stuff going on. Whoops
Love the new hair, you joined the witch content creator with a pixie cut gang😂
I worship the greek goddess Demeter and I keep a drawing I made of her on my altar were I can give her offerings.
I’m so grateful that I found your account. I’m a baby witch, but as soon as I started studying witchcraft, I felt drawn to paganism and the idea of deity work. I’m extremely aware that I’m nowhere near ready for actually working with a deity, but I still wanted to do something rooted in that idea. I’ve been researching Hellenistic paganism, and this video got me super excited to start deity worship. Thank you so much for creating this content and helping guide others!
Thank you so much!!! I really appreciate that you made this video and that you’re doing so much to help out the practitioner community! I hope you have a wonderful Freyjas day and please go get some water!
Recently seeing all your mentions of Diana had intrigued me, and then the casual drop of her being connected to faeries just made my brain light up and I accidentally researched for an hour instead of going to bed... Knowing her links to Mary (I was raised Catholic) and her connection to the moon and now the fey is like 👀 dude when I was a child I had a motherly fairy figure that I would direct my bedtime prayers to and Mary was always the most appealing entity in Christianity to me, and I LOVE looking at the moon... I've been kind of interested in learning about worshipping deities but there's just so many that I didn't really know who to start with... Might start by looking into Diana a bit more 💖 ✌️ thanks for sharing your journey and information
8:20 I struggle here with these couple of statements but I’m doing my best to empower myself and to embrace a wholesome and holistic attitude and approach to life
one of my favorite things to do with apollo is just listen to/practice music, its so comforting
I LOVE UR HAIR AAAAA
when i tell you my jaw DROPPED when i saw u oh my gosh the hair suits you sooooo well!
It's amazing to see how much your practice has changed a year later.
Hekatê recently reached out to me and this was super helpful because she's my first deity and I wasn't sure what to do!
your hair looks so good!!
Will never forget today, which is when I asked Asmodeus to pick my outfit today cause I was bored 😭
Thank you so much this helped really greatly. I'm just starting on my worship to Lady Nyx, she's the very first deity I'm worshiping along with starting my practice. I'm devoting time to learn about her, her myth, her lore, her associations and it makes me really happy learning about her.
Hiya, ty so much! i love you ladies of the witchy net, olivia, nike, and yu Frankie! So much amazing information for living the Craft not just the woowoo stuff. Be well!!
I'm so glad you posted this! I just watched your other deity video yesterday! I've been struggling with the worship aspect of witchcraft since I started practicing. I used to be Christian but no longer worship that god. I enjoyed the process of worship and prayer though, so I'm very thankful for this info!
This is THE BEST timing video!!! I was just getting into deity worship!
Thank you. Your hair is amazing👍😍!
Reconstructionist here!
It's very interesting that modern pagans always ovemphasise picking or choosing a "patron deity" to focus on. We're polytheists, meaning we believe in many gods! Old polytheists worshiped many, hundreds even, of gods all at the same time, patron deities were fairly uncommon. They called on and worshiped whichever deity the needed at that particular time. I suspect this is probably Christian/monotheistic baggage.
Interesting video. I don't call myself Christian but I follow the Christian God. Yet lately I feel a connection to Gaia and Brigid. I think it's because I used to practice witchcraft. I don't feel that witchcraft is my path anymore but I am thinking of still honouring the goddess because I still feel that connection to her. I know you can pursue paganism without witchcraft. I'm just trying to work out how that works in practice as I'm finding it hard to find information/ books on that. If yourself or anyone in the comments has any suggestions of websites or books please let me know. I guess this would be christopaganism.
Love the haircut! Also this has been a topic I've kind of been looking into for a while now, thanks for the update.
Thank you so much Frankie for making these videos. They help so much. I've been struggling with beginning my worship and work with certain deities who have been with me for years. This video shows me how I can give back (coincidently I work with two deities you mentioned in the video). You are very appreciated x
i just want to make sure is worshipping safe for beginers :)
yes!
@@kamibukuro1860 that's good to know cuz for some reason I want to start but I also want to study more so imma studyyy
ooh good to know im gonna do more research though but i really want to start worshipping apollo and the morrigan, i got some candles for them already (lemon tart for apollo, apples and cinnamon for the morrigan), im super excited
I'm worshipping Ecate and I feel so honored and grateful, she's such a badass, but sweet at the same time. She wants a drawing made by me, since I draw and paint. Plus, I usually give her offerings daily, just little things but she appreciates it. I prey to her and light a dark candle every night, when she is stronger, since she loves darkness and the night time. Yes, sometimes I fear that she could get angry towards me, but I'm trying to do my best, and she's always been very understanding. She is making me growing a lot, I feel so much centered and stronger. The thing that she appreciates the most though is seeing that I put effort at learning Magick
I'm glad your doing this vids now! Thank you for your time and knowledge Love. BLESSINGS 💓
Hi, I really love your content and as someone who is very new to all of this, I really appreciate your content greatly. Thank you for making it. P.s. greetings from Germany
I've been looking forward to this video since I saw your insta post abt it. I love how put together your videos always are :)
I'm so jealous of your hair
also super happy to see a new video!!
Thank you very much for this video, I was feeling very insecure about my worship cause I mainly do acts of devotion and I felt like I was bad for not doing more, while I do wanna branch out more with offerings and prayers and such this did make me feel alot better about the ground in which I stand currently, also the part where you mentioned about how they arent gonna pushin you if you make a mistake but ruther try to nudge you into a better direction, thank you, I feel like religious trauma from growing up has made me very scared of how I practice and in turn, Im not as involved as I want to, heck in a way I feel like this video was a nudge towards taking abetter direction, thank you alot for this video, I hope you have a lovely day
Something I do in devotion to Artemis is maintaining my celibacy and virginity like she does. No partners, no children, no marriage. I find it important in my path.
because it's spring i decided to make ice tea with loose tea containing pomegranate for persephone and im going on a walk and appreciating the flowers and the green
I’ve been struggling working with my patron Thoth recently, mostly because I feel blocked up, and this video popped up while I was searching visualization. So I guess I’ll be watching this now.
YOUR HAIR IS GORGEOUS!! 😍
The hairs amazing. I’ve been waiting for this video
very nice explaination, thank you for posting i think lots of people do get confused on what they should be doing, but once understood it helps them to be balanced when with their Deities, blessings Halsa Valang
I LOVE THE HAIR!!!!
Thank you so much for this! I’ve tried to find recourses for purely the worship of Satan but whenever I try and look into it it’s purely full of research about atheistic satanism, so thank you!
This has eased my fear into working with a deity :) just recently have i started to connect with witchcraft again and this time it feels good like its the right time to get into it again and I dont feel pressured about it. Im just taking one day at a time and just doing simple things like cleansing, sigils and doing things with intention like my crocheting. Started on a new headscarf today, a white one with the intention of protection. I feel drawn to maybe try and work with a deity as id like to also reconnect with the comfort of having a higher being watch over me and guide me. As a kid I used to go to church, sunday school etc and although I no longer personally believe in jesus etc. I do believe that there is always something/someone watching over us whether that be God, Freyja, Thor etc.
Awesome I offer my deities energy to show my appreciation and devotion to them and try to maintain communication and prayer with them.
Your hair looks amazing!!!
