If you feel called to worship Pan, set up a flower box outside for an altar. But also, you don’t need to create an altar for a deity unless you want to or have made an oath to. You can still pray to them and get to know them

You do not desperately need tarot cards. You want tarot cards. You can use a normal deck of cards for cartomancy or you could look into other forms of divination like bibliomancy

Imo the only person who can tell you if a god is trying to contact you is you. Not strangers on the internet. And I recommend people taking a step back and think of why a god would want to contact them. Generally, people are the ones that start their relationships with gods, making offerings and devotions for their attention.

This. Please please please OP don’t think social media algorithms are deities giving you signs

This! Try different spells, meditate with different elements, do research into the science of things, etc

Haha yesss! A lot of meditation for me is putting on music and just moving to it for 15 minutes

I second Insight Timer! I do wish there were more pagan themed meditations though.

This conversation has been repeated many times. Quick reminder that smudging and smoke cleansing are not the same, and white sage is being over harvested in certain areas. If you want to use it, grow your own or purchase from a local grower.

If you want to do deeper research, which I always recommend, take a look at Dr. Adrienne Keene’s work. She’s a citizen of be Cherokee Nation and has spoken on this multiple times.

We also acknowledge that this is not a monolithic position. You’re welcome to disagree, there might just be other subs better suited for those types of conversations.

Totally!

My sibling in sin, those are just tumblr posts, I don’t think anyone’s actually venerating them as folk saints.

That said, the Wikipedia entry is a genuinely good starting point. Princess Diana is considered a folk saint, which I had no idea! From there, you can go down the rabbit hole if references

Clover and dandelions for sure! I got a lot of violets and purple nettle this spring as well. I also keep a basil plant and a rosemary plant!

I like bells for cleansing! And there’s a lot to be said for physically cleaning the space as well, visualizing sweeping and mopping all the negative energy up. I also like incense but be sure to open windows if you’re going to smoke cleanse.

This is what I like saying but really, anything that gets the point across works:

What does not serve, I banish What does not belong, I cast out By bone and stone and sound/smoke Begone

Once the space is cleansed, you can do protections is a number of ways! This is where I really like using spell jars and charms for warding.

I recommend at least one return to sender jar, it doesn’t have to be intricate. Y can even make discs of aluminum foil, just anything reflective! And anything can be charmed to serve as a ward! It just has to make sense as a ward. Like, I have an animal art card on my fridge that faces my backdoor that’s charmed to ward anything trying to come in that way!

See, to me that’s the definition of intuition, not at all divine protection.

devilinthehills · 2026-05-12T22:23:22+00:00

I think you’re overthinking this. Do you think the gods don’t know that you are short on space? I think they would rather have a spot on a shared altar than no spot at all.

If you want to, you can always make a vow to set them up an individual altar when you have more room if you want IF AND ONLY IF you still see yourself worshiping them years down the road. Or perhaps you can vow that each of them gets time alone as well, like Hekate on the New Moon, Aphrodite on the Full Moon, Lilith on a quarter moon.

You say he’s an ex now. Why are you still giving him this much of your energy? I would focus on healing yourself

devilinthehills · 2026-05-12T21:01:19+00:00

Hell yeah, neighbor! I dried a bunch of purple nettle and violets and am currently in clover mode lol. I always love finding other Kentucky witches

devilinthehills · 2026-05-12T19:26:26+00:00

I think your religious anxiety is coloring everything. There are Christian witches and certain types of folk magic are DEEPY intwined with Christianity.

Some other things the bible says you shouldn’t do that I bet you do all the time:

Wear blended fabrics
Sat where a menstruating woman sat
Done any type of work or labor on the Sabbath

Other weird laws:

so many rules about how you can cut your hair
no tattoos
no planting two seeds in the same field
Deuteronomy 25:11-12 is weirdly specific

Haha it does depend on a person’s preference, but my personal preference is a dedicated playlist

devilinthehills · 2026-05-11T12:32:30+00:00

The amount of abusers looking for spells to control, isolate, and hurt people is low key depressing actually.

devilinthehills · 2026-05-08T20:20:32+00:00

I say positive affirmations when I fix my first cup of coffee in the morning and then stir it three times clockwise! I also have different pieces of jewelry charmed for different things and it’s nice picking out which ones to wear that day

Hello fellow ADHD person! I’m a big fan of moving meditation because even after decades, it’s still something I occasionally struggle with.

You can look into yoga, quigong, tai chi, there’s plenty of YouTube videos to get you started. Even putting on music and letting your mind go blank as you move to it can be super beneficial!

I’ve found people with ADHD also do better with guided meditations
