Witchy things I want to learn about:

1. Being a death witch, I obviously see things and hear them and feel them, I can’t pretend I don’t anymore. But I always assumed I didn’t have those abilities so I never learn how to do any spirit work!

2. Ancestor work and washing the dead, because my whole family since at least my g-g-g grandpa has been a piece of shit. ❄️❄️

3. Better wards! 🌙

4. Stronger curses because idk if mine do anything.

5. How to stop doubting my Power. 🙌

6. Art witchy stuff 🌈

7. Offerings

8. Altars to my homie gods 💗

9. Plant magic 🌿🌿

I know one of the biggest problems I had when I was getting into paganism was finding ways to honor the deities I wanted to with no money, so here’s some ideas of general things you can try out for any deity!

E-shrines
You may have seen these on tumblr before. A lot of pagans on tumblr keep e-shrines, which tend to be aesthetic-based sideblogs. If you have a lot of deities in your personal worship, you could make a tag for each with things you feel they’d enjoy. I’ve also seen people do them using Pinterest boards!

Playlists
Music is a pretty traditional offering! So if you’re looking for a simple way to make an offering, this is probably the cheapest and most accessible. Whether the mix is on your phone, YouTube, or a mix site, it’s a fun offering to make if you ask me. Try thinking of songs that remind you of the deity, or songs about things related to them.
Moodboards
In the same vein as e-shrines, moodboards are fairly common on tumblr in general and you see lots for various deities. Even if you aren’t a master at aesthetics, it’s still a good thing to try out as it gives you a chance to get more familiar with your deities associations.
Living in the name of your deity
I left this for last because it’s kind of a cheesy thing to say. I know I roll my eyes when Christians say this since so few actually seem to practice it. But really, it’s a true thing. Think of what your deity stands for, and how they would want to see one of their worshippers or devotees.

We sit in a circle on the bed, the four of us holding hands. We exchange energy, we giggle and smile as C talks of what our energy feels like and R soaks it all in. I am grateful to be spending this time with them, and O seems to glow. Her cats play around us, scampering about, and the wind howls across the window, blessing it with rain.

R’s eyes grow wide. “We should go be naked in the rain.”

O’s smile grows. “Lets go out in my backyard!”

I feel my grin warp my face as C and I lock eyes. “Should we?”

No one answers, we tear out of the bed and strip.

The water is ice and the wind licks the wounds as we scream in the storm.

We feel it grow as we enter, and though we can only last a few moments outside, some things were mended.
