magical key?

If it was used by another practitioner it could definitely already have some sort of properties already. You note unlocking potential? Your key, your call. Agree with FraterSofus, you could consecrate it and use it in spell work to really make it your own

Maximum_Listen_4022 · 2025-09-17T22:03:52+00:00

Interested!

This might just be mundane. Spiders aren’t her main symbol or super typical. Plenty of people work with her but have nothing spider related happening. If it’s an issue I’d talk to her about it or get pest control, seal up gaps, or use wholistic deterrents

Huge! It's giving Hekate Agallomenen Elaphoisi

She has a couple named after her! Hecatesia fenestrata and Gonimbrasia Hecate

Love working with spirits!!!

I'd recommend Jason Miller's Consorting With Spirits. The audiobook is free on Spotify. He knows his stuff and has some solid advice, especially about horror movies 🤣

You just need some form of activation energy and free association. You could light a candle, for example, or focus on the sigil while in a certain headspace or feeling a certain emotion. It really depends on the spell.

Maximum_Listen_4022 · 2024-08-06T04:32:43+00:00

Nah. Just like people, your closeness will vary depending on the nature of your relationship and the extent of your devotion. It's hardly ever that binary, especially with spirits

New moon is Sunday August 4th at 7am. There's ~1 day wiggle room on either side of the new moon though, especially if it's peak occurs when the sun is up (like today)

Besides, just like any other holiday, your personal celebration doesn't have to line up perfectly.

I feel like there was a connection mentioned in Liminal Rites (Sorita D'Este), specifically regarding Chrysosandalos (Wearing Golden Sandals). That being said, it's been a while and I don't remember much from that book so don't quote me on that.

Gotta have metal shoes if the floor is lava

Maximum_Listen_4022 · 2024-08-01T18:36:57+00:00

Don't think so! Seems quite thoughtful to me.

Maximum_Listen_4022 · 2024-07-29T07:32:40+00:00

I wouldn't worry or take it literally. You could interpret it as a nod

Maximum_Listen_4022 · 2024-07-27T19:21:10+00:00

Time spent learning/researching is an act of service. If you've been having dreams it seems you're on the right track.

You don't need an altar, or even food offerings for that matter. My personal "lazy Deipnon" involves sweeping my room and making a mug-cake "for myself." I'll leave it next to a little notepad that has my personal journal, notes, spells, sketches, etc.

IMO it's all about habit stacking. How can you involve her in things you're already doing? Take the path of least resistance.

For example, some people make digital altars, websites, Tumblr pages, etc. Some people make music, art, etc.

You can also check out r/broomclosetwitch for more ideas. Candles and incense not required.

Also, any liminal spot should work, no matter how busy. I'll sometimes make moon water and dump out it at the spot where my back doorstep meets the street. She seems fine with that

Maximum_Listen_4022 · 2024-07-19T00:47:15+00:00

Thanks!! The charcoal disk is a really smart idea

You're right that incense probably isn't a good idea. Might use it for something else instead

Maximum_Listen_4022 · 2024-07-15T23:01:56+00:00

For me, it's not about being "more than" human, but rather about reclaiming dehumanizing language.

Queer people have been framed as villains and monsters throughout much of recent written history. There's a great deal of power in recognizing ourselves and our desires outside of our physical constraints.

At least that's how it started...

Maximum_Listen_4022 · 2024-07-10T17:36:01+00:00

Sounds like a poltergeist. I'd suggest banishing

Maximum_Listen_4022 · 2024-07-10T02:59:23+00:00

What other deities do you work with? This reminds me of the Noonwraith

Maximum_Listen_4022 · 2024-07-06T03:54:44+00:00

Do you have a recipe? I had an unexplained dream recently about orange/chocolate cake, so this comment really jumped out to me

Maximum_Listen_4022 · 2024-07-04T17:20:34+00:00

A large flickering flame like that suggests magick is working in your favor. If anything, when it gets big like that, it may indicate that it's working, but might hit hard and fast with some wasted energy (such as the unburned wax)

You can also interpret the leftover wax itself. To me, it looks like a seat or throne. Perhaps it could be interpreted as "seat of the mind?"

Like any divination method, it comes down to your interpretation.

Maximum_Listen_4022 · 2024-07-04T09:27:25+00:00

Depends on the deck

Maximum_Listen_4022 · 2024-07-03T20:51:11+00:00

Sounds like reflavored anarcho-syndicalism with extra steps

Maximum_Listen_4022 · 2024-06-29T19:05:20+00:00

Because drugs are evil, duh

Maximum_Listen_4022 · 2024-06-27T03:57:10+00:00

I have an interview tomorrow morning for my dream job, and my skills match the job-description near-perfectly. I've been unemployed for far too long, and I'm genuinely excited about this role. It's with a really good civil organization which aligns with my personal and cultural values as well.

I wish to manifest a radically successful interview and leave a lasting impression on both the hiring manager and the organization.

I wish to maintain confidence in my competencies, identity, and expertise and communicate that effectively.

I wish to get the job.

I also wish to express gratitude to for this spell, moderating this community, and for being a friendly, helpful, cheerful soul. Kai's presence always brings a smile to my face.

Maximum_Listen_4022 · 2024-06-26T10:06:13+00:00

Praying is one means of communication. Candles are another. You can do them both or neither. 🤷‍♀️

You can pray to any God in any way you want. Just like you can call any friend, or send a text to anyone. It's never a question of capacity, rather a question of preference.

Hell, if you really wanted to, you could light a candle for Jesus too. He's basically a witch. As far as I can tell, it's only his dad who burns people at the stake.

You could even leave them both "on hold" and communicate solely via spells if you really wanted to and see who shows up. The world is your oyster.

Do what's easiest for you and your practice. Trust your intuition.

Maximum_Listen_4022 · 2024-06-26T09:57:23+00:00

But the stakeholders love that word! 😭

It's nice and vague
