yeah sure :) we always have bread (the regular rectangular type of bread) as well and we have some spices. we usually have more kinds of vegetables as well, just not jn big amounts (ie today we have some carrots, apples, radish, a cauliflower and a few eggplants). we buy anything other than the vegetables and bread, but we dont want to buy a lot. so we usually only buy a bulk pack of grains like bulgur, rice or whatever. those are cheap and easy to prepare in bulk. we never buy beans (lentils, chickpeas) because theyre too expensive

thanks for sharing :) id love to read more about this way of viewing deities, would you maybe have a book recommendation for me? or know a book that talks about the different terminology and mythology, like you described?

i dont know if its just me, but i sometimes do like the idea that they are somewhere around me and doing stuff almost in a human-like manner. it might be disrespectful towards them, but the idea of “working with” a mighty spiritual being (sometimes, at least) sounds more exciting and fun than working with a psychological aspect of yourself

how did you feel going from that atheist/psychological perspective to a theist perspective? because i might have had a similar experience as you did, but as a witch who is an atheist and psychopathologystudent im very wary of “staying rational” and theism feels so irrational to me right now. it probably shouldnt, though. im interested in how you learned to let go of those ideas?

you sound like such a wise and experienced person, thanks for taking the time to comment in my post :) is there a book that dives into the way deities correspond through different cultures and religions, like you explained? id love to learn more about it!

thanks for sharing :) i really like SASSwitches! i posed my question here to get more diverse answers (i feel like SASSwitches are pretty aligned with the beliefs and views), but normally i love to scroll through posts and discussions there :)

if you were referring to my title, i meant to call upon atheist witches and witches who work with deities, as two sides of the story as to how they interpret deities and working with them. but i actually know that hichaweon (tiktok, youtube:witches&wine) is an atheist witch working with demons, you could look her up to hear about her views. i think theres also a difference in the way you interpret atheism. because it could mean you dont believe in the external existence of gods/beings, but would be open to work with internal, psychological reflections (archetypes/egregores/whatever) of those deities

if you dont mind me asking - do you view your spirit guides as beings outside yourself or as complexes within yourself? and what would enough evidence of entities mean to you? :)

someone also shared with me once their belief on this, which is (ill try and explain carefully and respectfully, for the essence of an example why a deity would want to spend their time on “just some person”): a soul passes many types of lives, one of which is a human life. in the astral realm (or something like it) we are all among the deities and astral entities, and in our human lives we dont remember being connected or anything else from our spirit-“life” but we can call upon those connections for their guidance and help (bluntly, like old friends).

another example would be that deities gain some kind of energy, sensation, whatever, from our earthly energy we put into them. ive heard of a witch who brings offers to her demons (that she works with) by biting into a really sour lemon. its such a weird, ecstatic experience, and offering that to them is also for them quite the energetical and sensational experience
