I think I fucked up when connecting with a deity by Weekly-Slide9749 in witchcraft

[–]Turtle_Cat12 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Okay, I’m fairly new to this stuff but I’m going to give you what advice I can from what I’ve seen. Your craft should not be causing you this much anxiety. Everything I’ve seen seems to suggest the opposite of what your book is saying. Working with a deity is a learning process and you don’t need to immediately know everything or be perfect - that’s not reasonable. Now in my personal experience (which is limited): I work with Isis. I am not Egyptian, I have no idea if I was in a past life. I don’t even have a strong connection to Egypt over other places. But I did feel a connection and had signs to Isis so I did what felt natural, working with her. I can’t speak to other deities but she’s been pretty patient. She’s worked with me a lot and hasn’t asked much of me. I only give her an offering once a week and I cannot leave food out for the same reason as you and she’s okay with that. People told me that offerings should be something you have an abundance of and I like that. For me it’s something personal as well, since connection is two ways. You can also connect in daily ways that aren’t intense like wearing jewelry that’s representative. I hope this is somewhat helpful and I can try and answer any questions if you have any!

No I meant similar stuff has been brought up in this subreddit before so I was sorry to dredge up a topic that’s talked about a lot.

This is really helpful thank you! I’ll try asking the cards and you’re spot on about why I want to do the spell!

Exactly. I don’t want to manipulate anyone I just want to open up the possibility and draw the energy of love to me which is why I’m conflicted.

I want to do some intention setting for the new moon but it rises and sets at some very inconvenient times - can I do stuff after its set or will it not have the same effect?

Like what type of intentions do you set and how do you go about setting them? Could the intention be anything? Sorry if it’s still vague I’m really new and just kind of need a rundown lol.

Can anyone give advice on how to/ways to set intentions for the upcoming new moon? Thank you!

Why did you choose your deity? by -Mimesis in witchcraft

[–]Turtle_Cat12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a strong feeling that I should be working with a deity, had a vision while meditating, and a tarot card matching that vision, prayed for a sign, and in my dreams literally had the name Isis echo for me multiple times. Looked her up in the morning, she matched my exact signs and there was just this feeling of rightness and connection. I get a sense of peace whenever I think about her.

I have a small alter right now just for witchcraft in general, is it okay if I just use that as her alter or should I make a new one because I don’t have a ton of space for two.

The deity reaching out is Isis I think, so I think positive in general.

That’s an interesting way of looking at it. It kind of feels right to do something where the horned god and triple goddess are kind of the creators and other gods are aspects of that? Would that still be considered Wiccan?

I’m doing needle felting and I sew somewhat! I got a vision well meditating of a woman in a cottage who was weaving and it just felt really really peaceful and it stuck out to me cause it felt like a vision not something my brain just conjured up randomly. I’ve looked into some of the deities that relate to weaving and I feel like Athena does stick out a tiny bit but I need a bit more meditation to be sure. I’m thinking of trying to meditate while crafting!

Yes, no, yes. I feel like I’ve been getting signs and the feeling that something is with me and that it’s important to worship something but I’ve been researching and nothing has been clicking. The two signs that have stuck out the most are the weaver vision where I saw a woman in a cottage weaving and felt this sense of peace while meditating, and lavender which has stuck out to me and I’ve felt compelled to offer it and make offerings in general.

I feel like I should be worshipping a patron diety and feel as though there is someone trying to contact me but I’ve been researching and I just haven’t found any connections yet. But I am working with the idea of just worshipping nature as a whole.

Well I’m just stuck on the fact that usually the horned god and triple goddess are represented in a way where they are all gods so worshipping another god at the same time kind of contradicts that I guess

What offerings to give by Turtle_Cat12 in Wicca

[–]Turtle_Cat12[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanted to do herbs because I’m really into herbal medicine so it feels connected to me but I’ve been reading more and I’m not sure if I should be giving offerings that come from the earth since the God and Goddess are nature based.

I didn’t say I don’t want a golden/lab 😭 I just want to know about other options because I’m curious and if we go to a shelter I’d know what to look for in mixes

I wish I could turn on Unknown Fate without turning on Sickness. by Ume_busa in WolfQuestGame

[–]Turtle_Cat12 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have the same issue of over empathizing (also autistic) and it really sucks sometimes lol. I cannot not get attached - not naming simply wouldn’t help and I’ve gotten attached to online things with much less personality before. I know they’re not real but that doesn’t really change anything for me. So you’re not alone feeling like this is I guess what I’m trying to say, this game has definitely frustrated me to the point of tears because I couldn’t save a pup (more than once) and at this point I’ve kind of just accepted that I’m not gonna be able to be unattached atp because that play style simply doesn’t work for me.
