Represents the Holy Trinity now, but used to represent the three domains recognized in Irish paganism (sky, land, and sea) and possibly the triple aspects of the Goddess Brigid as well.
Oh, cool!
so what i'm hearing is, any of you with parents who don't know certain symbols can simply say 'i thought it was pretty!' and it works
pretty rocks are a valid example of this as well because who's gonna look at some nice amethyst earrings and go 'pAGAN. BEGONE THOT'
Lol
Exactly. If your parents do not understand, you can say it’s pretty and immediately get away with it as lot as you don’t treat the items as anything more where they can see or have snitches around. cough,cough siblings cough,cough
Though I have a question, does anyone else have something of sentimental value that they can’t bear to get rid of but also has bad magick effects? Or is that just me?
what is said sentimental thing?
Yeah I do. I have a giant chuck of rose quartz that's on a necklace, really charged too. It sat in moonlight and sunlight for like months. I wore it too a date. Worst 9 months of my life, and I wore that rose quartz all the time. BUT. I am planning on cleaning it soon, so maybe see if there's a way you can cleanse it? It is fall so rain should be a lot more common in areas, which is great for stuff like that, depending on what it is.
i used to. it was this rose quartz heart that my boyfriend at the time had given me, but after we broke up it kinda lost any good energy, at least for me. eventually, i cleansed it thoroughly and gave it to my grandma, who's been having some issues in the love aspect of life, figuring that any good energy she could get would be useful, and also that the action itself would make sure there were no negative ties.
jhdfghdf what is it with us and accidentally turning rose quartz negative
whoops same
I had this chunk of rose quartz I dug out of my backyard but my ma screamed at me with it nearby so like, it's got real fycked energy
what is said sentimental thing?
It’s a handmade wire ring with a pink fish bead that my ex-boyfriend/current best friend gave me back when we seriously thought we were going to stay together forever as romantic partners and a cheap $5 ring that I was hoping would work for him because he has bad reactions to certain metals, and it ended up not working. Both rings are around my neck on a chain, which constantly reminds me of the only relationship I had ever tried and ever wanted to try (demisexual/romantic over here) and how it fell apart and broke my heart, and reminds me to never try again. So yeah. I’m a bitch to myself. But our relationship rn is complicated… (he has multiple personalities and different personalities think of me in different ways. One is determined to have me back in a romantic way and the one that fronts most often and HAS A BOYFRIEND, thinks of me just as a best friend that they never want to part with.) JESUS CHRIST, WHY IS MY LOVE LIFE SO MESSED UP!?
And then there’s everybody else with their rose quartz….. lmao
Oh, I also have a largeish cut of amethest on a chain that my best friend gave to me, but it broke down the middle last halloween.
as a person with ODD1SB I know how hard that is. (I know it's not in the right order. I can never remember it right. I have ADHD and brain went "not important order is") anyways. DID also sucks. I totally get it. Complications arise.
Yeah. What is really wrecking me at the moment is I did something with the personality that loves me romantically that I probably shouldn’t have while I wasn’t entirely in my right mind and now I feel insanely guilty despite the personality with the BF saying it’s alright and that I wasn’t really responsible for it, and I’m still sitting here a week later mentally banging my head into a wall over it.
So, I saw somewhere that working with deities wasn't beginner friendly (something I don't want to do yet), but worshipping them is (something that sounds better, because I'd want to get to know them first). How do I do one but not the other?
What I interpret that as is worshiping deities is giving offerings and respect, which leads to building a relationship with them, but working with deities is taking it a step further and asking for favors and help with spells. I don’t personally work with deities for the most part, but that’s what I’ve understood the practice as.
(I feel like I talk too much on this board….)
((there's only like four of us regularly active lmao, it's not you talking too much, it's a lack of other people to even it out))
i generally agree, though the line has always been rather blurred for me. i guess if you're trying to stick solely to worship, err on the side of caution and don't even ask for blessings with spellwork, like whisper said. just stick to offerings, maybe general prayer, and reverence
Thx guys 👌
I’m so sad I can’t do anything for Samhain this year…. And it’s the strongest point of power this year, so it’s REALLY killing me…… whines softly I just wanna make some soul cakes and an altar for the spirits!! (I also wanna dress up, but I can’t even do that….)
The only plan I have is to veil all day and wear some charms. First Samhain tho yayayyy 😊
I’m just like, I’m going to have to wait 19 years for the next full moon on Samhain!! Ugh…. I might draw some sigils on my body with eyeliner under my clothes and embroider something. Idk
