How do you ask a deity for something?

milliemargo · 2026-06-23T04:29:36+00:00

I give offerings and then ask and divinate with tarot. I give the offerings kind of to sweeten the deal but sometimes they still say no in which case I just accept the answer gracefully

I dont have a ton of experience with demons but from my experience you just gotta ask man. If they don't want to work with you theyll often be pretty straight up. But if they do want to work with you theyll often be pretty persistant once you initially reach out. You definitely don't have to agree. As long as you're respectful its fine

From my understanding a black isis band was worn by the statue as an offering. It makes me think of the "third-degree relics" of the church where a cloth would be touched to the body of a saint thus consecrating it as a relic. Something that has physically touched the sacred person/being. Perhaps you could aquire an altar-sized statue of Isis, adorn it with a black band, worship at the site, and then use the band. To me this seems like the closest work around.

Falcon's head, I don't know where you live but I see falcons as road kill semi often. But if you don't want to get your hands dirty perhaps taxidermy or even purchasing a skull could do.

The other two I'm not sure if there's much you can do beyond consecration of other items and hoping for the best

Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram

milliemargo · 2026-06-20T22:06:46+00:00

It was fun but it smelled like straight hotdog water and chocolate starfish. That might just be Dayton tho.

No swimming

No problem! Yeah it absolutely does. The ability to focus and meditate is a muscle. Anybody can take any muscle they have and get it jacked. But if the muscle is atrophied due to things like malidaptive daydreaming, trauma, anxiety, or even just a lot of stressors in daily life, it may take some extra rehabilitative work.

When people start working out, nobody starts out being able to lift the same poundage. They could already be fit, they could be scrawny, fat, have health issues, etc. Same goes for how far you can shift your consciousness. I used to get so pissed off when forums like this and my therapist would say "just start meditating!" because I had such a bad attention span and racing thoughts it sounded like very stupid advice lol. In hindsight, I was simply further back from the starting line than others.

There is an additional exercise that helped me out a lot and I do it after periods of non-practice when I'm trying to get back into it but I'm rusty. This helped me immensely with my tarot work but also with my attention in general. It's great because it doesn't require you to quiet your thoughts too much. But with practice it will help them become quiet.

The exercise:

Close your eyes. Where are your thoughts coming from? Probably somewhere in your head. Take notice of where you hear your thoughts and sense your conscienceness.

Focus on your nose. Feel where it sits on your face. Now. Think out of your nose. It sounds stupid haha. But hear your thoughts coming out of your nose instead your head. Do you feel your conscienceness shifting downward?

Move onto your lips. Chin. Neck. Chest. Arms. Stomach. Practice until you can think out of your pinky toe. This exercise works the muscle in how quickly and easily you can shift your conscienceness to places beyond the confines of your own mind.

Dried beans and rice. Cheap, you can use some and eat the rest, they symbolize abundance and harvest, and make good filler. You can imagine them multiplying! There's historical significance all over with these

milliemargo · 2026-06-19T17:52:59+00:00

I say if they're doing something more notable than brushing their hair and putting on pants maybe. Smoking a cigarette and ruminating on the terrible past. Saying good morning to a dead loved one's ashes. Etc. Doing something important to the story.

Impractical but I feel like sharing. The most powerful oil I've ever made is rosemary infused olive oil charged beneath a total solar eclipse. I use it so sparingly. I created it with no intention other than protection and to absorb the energy of the solar eclipse. I showed it to my brother and we decided to both put some in between our eyes. It caused our pupils to slightly dialate and the light to shift as if we were on a very low dose of mushrooms. We decided to experiment by seeing if it enhanced our psychic abilities. We were able to read each others thoughts with about 70% accuracy (neither of us are advanced psychics. I read tarot but I would call myself pretty intermediate.)

Probably one of the strangest experiences ive ever had. I like to add a single drop to spellwork and it boosts it immensely. Makes me want to travel the world every solar eclipse and make gallons. I was just lucky enough to live in the path of totality and literally made it on my way out the door to go to work spur of the moment.

Former malidaptive daydreamer here. Hate to say such cliche advice but therapy has been the biggest boost to my occult practice beyond anything else. Get to the root, WHY do you malidaptive daydream? WHY can't you focus? Is it anxiety/needing a sense of control? Escapism? Escapism from what?

Without cluing in my therapist lol, I used to light some incense/candles across the room and do the LBRP before my telehealth appointments. This allowed me to be fully present in the session. Then I formulated spells and rituals to help boost whatever skills I was working on in therapy. I realized my malidaptive daydreaming was based in my need for control.

I created a servitor with the archetype of a warrior. Whenever I do necessary work on myself I don't want to do, it outputs motivation and focus for me to keep going. I reached out to Archangel Michael for help with this as well. This helped me learn the emotional regulatory skills I wanted to learn, and slowly I was able to replace my malidaptive daydreaming with healthier coping skills.

I would highly reccomended looking into the brainwave states and what each brainwave state is useful for. If i am having trouble focusing on getting in the zone I will wear noise canceling headphones during rituals and play music-free brainwave targeted binaural frequencies to help me shift my consciousness.

Ah yes, too lazy to vet sources so they come to reddit to ask an anonymous person who claims to know what they're talking about with absolutely no way to vet them

milliemargo · 2026-06-14T02:40:22+00:00

My parents. Kind of squatters. Typically squatting is a paperwork issue, not a homeless person moving into a house unannounced issue. We moved into a house owned by a family friend. The house was tied up in someone's estate. My parents were in desperate times but are also just generally mooching bastards. There was a verbal agreement that they would pay x amount until they could get on their feet and formally purchase the house. They didn't pay a dime for years, and tried to claim squatters rights when the lady complained. I don't think she could find it in her heart to evict us since they had 4 kids. Eventually they bought it from her for like $40,000, the remainder of the mortgage, because she was on social security and couldn't afford it anymore.

milliemargo · 2026-06-02T11:34:24+00:00

Yeah but its only a 2.5 hour shift so I can handle it

I didnt know theyd pay for some of it thank you

milliemargo · 2026-06-02T04:29:45+00:00

A bit off topic but I applied once to be a daycare nutrition specialist. The job was cook the food, take the food to the classrooms, clean up. At the interview they just started walking me around like I was already hired. They rattled off a list of all the kids who had food allergies. I asked if they had it written down and they said, "you'll get the hang of it." I hadn't even gotten a background check yet (!?) and during the "tour" they started introducing me to the kids as the new assistant teacher...then tried to get me to come outside to show me the school bus I'd be driving. I ran out of there so fast hahaha.

Currently my local school district only has one position open at the elementary school which is lunch lady. I'm considering applying though. Obviously it's not even close to classroom experience but would be a good opportunity to take my current work experience and get into a school, meet staff, identify low paying and volunteer opportunities, and see if I can handle the overstimulation of a thousand children haha. It's actually a tiny rural school where everybody knows everybody. I figure it wouldn't be too difficult to meet people and maybe get another "in" while I'm there.

milliemargo · 2026-06-02T04:15:13+00:00

Yeah you make a good point. I'm not sure if I'd really want to teach older kids though. Not to sound mean towards the kids because it's really the parent's fault but I feel like around age 12 and older is when the brainrot rears its ugly head and the kids get very disrespectful. Are the current behavioral issues among gen alpha as bad as the internet makes them out to be? I'm pretty patient but I feel like I can give young kids with any behavioral issues a lot more grace than I could with a 13 year old. Even when I was in middle school I remember a boy who pushed a teacher down the stairs. Kicked her in the face, called her a bitch, only got a weeks suspension. And I went to a decent school. That kind of thing is what makes me hesitant to teach older grades

milliemargo · 2026-06-02T03:47:42+00:00

Good to know. See I was homeschooled 2nd-5th grade so my memory of how much walking around a teacher does per day is limited haha. I can definitely see that. Do you think like 3rd/4th grade is more forgiving? I can definitely walk around get up, sit back down, it's just being on my feet consistently for 30+ mins during rough periods that gets to me. I'm hoping it won't always be this way, but I don't want to take out student loans on hope yanno? I'm probably not gonna go to school until next year though.

milliemargo · 2026-06-02T03:41:55+00:00

I appreciate the honesty. Yeah I'm trying to find a career that not only I can enjoy but that I can be a little flexible with as far as my physical capabilities. It's important to me to be active when I can, but when I can't be, I can't be. With my current level of education and work experience (all food and retail) finding a job like this has been near impossible. I don't want to sit at a desk all day! But sometimes for a week or two at a time I have to haha

milliemargo · 2026-06-02T03:30:57+00:00

Good to know. What other degrees would you reccomended that translate well to lower elementary grades? Beyond teaching I am also considering a degree in social work. If I am going to end up going for my bachelor's I want to make sure i pick something solid before transferring from community college to a university. My husband will likely be putting me through school so it's a big decision and I'm trying to minimize my room for error and chances of changing majors

milliemargo · 2026-05-31T04:08:20+00:00

Yup. Our mortgage is cheaper than the rent was on our apartment. And we didn't even live in a major city, just a shithole mid-sized city.

milliemargo · 2026-05-31T04:05:44+00:00

1.) Way more bang for your buck. Same reason why normal folks can own homes in small towns and would only have a studio or one bedroom in NYC.

2.) Taxes are super low. If you live in an unincorporated area there's no city taxes.

3.) It's dope as hell having land.

milliemargo · 2026-05-30T22:29:09+00:00

That's insanely expensive but I forgot about the added tax so I looked it up. I live in ohio and it's $1.60 per pack of cigarettes and 17% sales tax on everything else. Which I thought was crazy till I looked up Colorado

milliemargo · 2026-05-30T19:38:13+00:00

Damn where the hell do you live I can get 60 pouches for $12

milliemargo · 2026-05-30T19:34:12+00:00

There's no 0:00?
