hey Elvis is the glass half full or half empty to you?
Woah mama it depends on whether you're filling or emptying
if they want your information they’re feds
I'm sorry but it's way too sketchy to have to "sign up" for a protest. There's no reason you should have to give anyone your full name, email, phone number, and/or address in order to march in the streets. People are getting arrested left and right because cops have access to information that connects people to the protests they were at. If an organization is having people "sign up to join the fight," all the cops need to do is access that list.
Just go. Don't leave a fucking paper trail.
THERE ARE NO CERTAIN LEVEL DEITIES. COMPLETELY AGREED!
However, there are deities who may not work for you. Just because someone works well with one deity, doesn’t mean you’ll have an easy time with them as well. every one works in different areas at different speeds.
your craft is your own. let none other tell you how to walk your path.
I’ve seen numerous of people saying that there are beginner deities and hard deities. Here’s the thing: do not allow people to stop you from working with deities. You are allowed to work with any deities you wish, and there is no such thing as certain level deities.
That’s Louis Rossman, a repair technician and YouTuber, who went viral recently for railing against Apple. Apple purposely charges a lot for repairs and you either have to pay up or buy a new device. That’s because Apple withholds necessary tools and information from outside repair shops. And to think, we were just so close to change.

Most of them about power, law, storms, kingship. Things you’d expect from the king of the gods.
But Zeus-Lekheatês stops me in my tracks. It’s one of the most unexpectedly tender epithets he has.
The name Lekheatês comes from lekheion, which refers to the bed where a woman would give birth. So Zeus-Lekheatês is, in essence, Zeus as the god of childbirth. The god who protects women during labor. Which, if you really think about it, is wildly fascinating because it’s so unlike the usual way Zeus is framed.
Birth was dangerous in the ancient world. No epidurals, no modern medicine. Just blood, pain, and the gods’ mercy. A mother could die. The baby could die. It was a moment of pure vulnerability, teetering on the edge between life and death. And here’s Zeus, not just presiding over grand cosmic fates or battles or oaths, but over this. Over the most raw, intimate struggle of all. Over the act of bringing life into the world.
And the more I think about it, the more it makes sense. Zeus is, above all else, the god of balance. The one who maintains order, who ensures the cosmos doesn’t spiral into chaos. And what is birth if not the ultimate balance between life and death? A single moment where fate could tip either way? Zeus doesn’t just decide who wins wars, he decides who lives, and that includes the smallest, most fragile of beginnings. It’s an aspect of him that feels strangely human, almost gentle. It’s not the Zeus of the thunderbolts or the one swearing unbreakable oaths on the Styx. It’s Zeus as a guardian. A protector.
And if that doesn’t change how you see him, even just a little, I don’t know what will.
I maxed the tags because of how much I love the Dude
welcome to the witchy world new friend!
hellenism is technically the more appropriative incorrect word for Hellenic Polytheism! it’s the reconstructionist view of the Greek Gods!
I recommend some googling and doing some reading on reconstructionist vs revivalist paganism, as well as basics of modern Hellenic Polytheism. Google, not tumblr, there’s still some good scholarly articles out there!
as far as hexing/cursing, the ethics of “can I hex” is entirely up to the witch themselves. everyone has their own paths and ethics, and while some will try to teach you that hexing is evil or wrong or threefold law or whatever-
hope this helps friend! welcome!
I'll make this account pretty later but im not worried about that rn. My main acc is @opposededds
But anyways! Im interested and starting to practice witchcraft/paganism/hellenism (im not sure what it is specifically) and i have basic knowledge of most things. But i have some questions.
Is there an acceptable reason to hex/curse someone (i know the two mean different thinga thats why im asking)
I believe i have a good reason, but i also know it can backfire so thats why I'm asking.
okay so I succumbed and made an mtg blog so I don’t flood my moots with this nonsense
that being said, have my moxfield! I try to keep all my decklists as up to date as I can, and have way too many planned! help!
anyway have a good day yall enjoy the memes
10 years of Hellenistic paganism and eclectic witchery makes you learn some weird shit
