fae offerings! shiny things and possibly some snacks if i can find some animal-safe things as well. we might have a campfire later too, so there's that. my brother mowed so i cant make dandelion crowns but i can paint rocks and leave them around the neighborhood tomorrow!
nice name crocs and that sounds wonderful. For my Beltane I cannot do much due to living with Christians but I will be purifying my room tonight
I’ve run out of honey, I think I made a few more than necessary honey cakes..
I made a few ribbon decorations to hang on my wall, my alter is perfectly rearranged with the crystals cleansed. I also intend to make Beltane lemonade
Sun cleansed all my stones, lil bonfire as soon as the sunsets and dancing in the woods, rearranged my alter so Freyja is in the middle with fresh flowers and herbs from my garden, made a number of ribbon and knot bracelets, etc.
I've also decided to handfast to myself this year since Jay isn't with me.
QQ for my seasoned practitioners (Probably just LeeSquad but anyone can answer I suppose)
Have you ever gone through a 'second awakening'?
Because Holy Shit the past couple nights have been insane for me and my deities.
pretty definitely sure not but I'm curious? what exactly do you mean?
If you’re talking about what I think you mean then the past few days have been a rollercoaster for my deities, myself, and my kins.
I thought I’d gotten used to the hypersensitivity but boi was I wrong, and last night happened to be the worst I’ve experienced for a long time
Were you slapped in the face by just a maelstrom of energy?
Yeah I was, it felt rather odd
Im calling it a 'second awakening' because obviously your first is when you decide to pursue the craft and you align yourself with a deity, etc, etc.
But the night before last I was minding my own business throwing tarot and meditating when I was downright claimed by a new deity and boi it's been wild since then.
Ive always felt a connection to Frejya and respected her deeply (she was my main) and I could feel her appreciation for my worship, but it was always a kind detachment you know? Almost like she was taking care of me for when I was ready for my true deity.
And THEN
PLUTO
outta NOWHERE
smacked me to hard in the chakras that I immediately started happy crying. Ever since then…..gods I cant even explain it.
Its wonderful.
Yeah I was, it felt rather odd
That was the night of the full moon no?
Because goddamn that was….shocking.
I know what you're on about.
Incense was burning, I was cleaning and cleansing my room (like honestly, it felt so good to rearrange my shelves for some odd reason—I never rearrange anything). I never thought I would have any other connection to any deity other than Hephaestus and Hermes. They have been the only ones for a long ass time, and then—
BAM
Athena's in my DMs and I'm an emotional wreck.
It's like a strange combination of bliss and uncertainty, I can't actually describe the feeling clearly.
That's so wild of an experience. Does that happen to every practitioner at some point, or does it only happen on a case-by-case basis?
Also, something is iffy and I don't know what's going on. It's hard to explain, but I feel like there's something attached to my head/mind/crown chakra, or something like an energy block. Whatever is going on, it's heightening my physical senses while fogging up my spiritual senses. This has been going on for around 2 weeks now. My sight and hearing are more sensitive than ever before, and it seems to be condensing my stress/negative emotions of the ever-approaching Finals Week. I even tried meditating just recently, and I got cockblocked from my deities. All I got was "Hello my child" from Aphrodite and then bam, brick wall of nothingness. I didn't even get to sense Aion, and he's my main man. In my heart, I know he's here with me, but I seemed to have lost the ability to sense either of them.
What do I do?
First of all, "I got cockblocked from my deities" made me cackle.

Glad my painfully awkward vocabulary gave you pleasure lmao
I am a simple witch, I just want to purchase books to help my craft without getting kicked out :'(
Like, my dad bought me a novel called the history of witches and it was a whole fantasy thing and my mom yelled for like a solid ten minutes
I'm making!!! SUN TEA!!!!
Pineapple sun tea actually, I just have a lot of pineapple for some reason.

I like pineapple, we have pineapple tea and freshly cut pineapple, I'm gonna try and see what I can bake with it :)
pineapple upside down cake?
Yuck, no thanks, me and that cake do not have a nice friendship
in that case, a pineapple dessert cake or pineapple crisp could be fun
Y e l lo w is everywhere how did I just notice this
I'm dense as hell when it comes to signs

What do I do?
You may accidentally be doing it to yourself. Stress is a powerful thing, even for a practitioner, and that emotional turmoil could be blocking yourself from the energies of the universe. Think of it as your mind is trying to protect itself from further harsh stressors, but inadvertently blocking the good as well.
I would start with a simple chakra cleansing and maybe a tarot spread to see whats up.
