A nice cup and some clean, fresh, water on the altar can often be all you need for daily offerings
Grow a plant on your altar, use your weekly watering as a devotional act. Hermes is currently helping my peace lily grow :)
Draw their sigil on your nails and then paint over them with nail polish that matches their color correspondences.
If you can’t acquire alcohol for your deities (wine, vodka etc) because you’re too young, white vinegar also works. The quality we’re looking for is the purification aspect. White vinegar is natural, antibacterial and never goes bad. You can leave it on your altar until it evaporates if you want.
If you work with a deity involved with self love like Aphrodite, investing a little more time into your skin care and scent can be very rewarding. Nothing super boujie, it can be as simple as getting some nice smelling lotion at the dollar store.
Food and water offerings don’t have to be external, especially if you’re in the broom closet and don’t have an altar. Reserve the first bite of your meal for your deity. Savour its taste while you think about them. Pour yourself a crisp glass of cold water and guzzle it as a devotional act.
Use a washable or dry erase marker to draw sigils on your shower wall for bath rituals. It’ll come right off when you’re done.
Tea bags are just bags of dried herbs. You can use these as offerings or draw sigils on them and burn them for witchcraft. No one is ever suspicious about a little tea. Adding a tea bag to your water offerings also gives them an extra kick.
A couple dollars at the thrift store will take you a long way. I love thrifting items because they’re usually well loved. I especially like thrifting spirituality books that past practitioners have written in. Sometimes my deities communicate with me through the books that are available on any given day. If I was just talking to Leviathan about the power of water and I see a book about Hydromancy, I know that he’s sending me a sign. Like, 90% of the books Lucifer has sent me popped up at the thrift store. Most expensive one was $7.99. (and I tag swapped it for 2.99 😊 thanks, Hermes-
and on this note, literally steal. Not from small local thrift stores, but I mean this with my whole chest, steal from Value Village. If you can sneakily swap a tag and get something for cheaper literally do it. Value Village gets all their inventory for free I literally do not care. Corporate thrift stores don’t deserve rights. I steal from Value Village as a devotional act to Hermes 😊 lmao )
If you don’t have money to spend on really nice paintings and posters of your deities for your altar, start buying books about them. It’s a double win. A book about Greek religion will certainly have multiple beautiful sculptures and paintings of Aphrodite that I can cut out and put on my wall. A book about angels might have a cool painting of Lucifer. Books about Goddesses, ancient religions, anthropology, astrology etc. You get the opportunity to learn, and if it’s a book you don’t particularly care too much for, you can take it apart for imagery. People ask me all the time where I got all of my paintings and pictures from. BOOKS.
Does your deity have a kind of complicated sigil that you love but you also kinda hate redrawing every other day? Sorry Cerberus (Naberius) I love you but that sigil is so complicated babe.
Learn how to block print! It’s very simple. You get a block of linoleum (usually pretty cheap, I think mine were like $5) , some ink (~$10), and a carving tool (varies depending), and make a sigil stamp! All you gotta do is draw your sigil and carve it out nicely one time. You can still bless it and imbue it with your energy, and you can easily put it on prayers, talismans etc.
Chalk is your best friend. Use it to draw sigils on the floor or wall that can easily be wiped away. You can imbue special chalk and use it for casting circles if you don’t like the mess of salt.
A drawn stick figure of Apollo is better devotional work than AI generated "artwork" of Apollo.
HI DEAD RAT BRINGER!!!!!/J
LMAO HIIIII
(note ; this is not roleplay, fictionkin, or delusion, though roleplayers, fictionkin, and delusional people are allowed to interact. this is irl magical heroing, a spiritual practice, and is under the pop culture paganism / magick umbrella. please do not call me delusional, as this can cause me to doubt my experiences and reality, which can send me into pyschosis.)
I HAD A DREAM ABOUT BEING A MAGI !!! i dont really remember much of it tbh,,,, listening to a subliminal rn to help me remember T_T
before i slept, i tired to project, but i was wayyyyy too tired lol. from what i remember of the dream...
i was transformed in the outfit i scripted, and i had my soul gem in my hands. mami and madoka were with me, helping me fight this giant, powerful witch !
the labryinth was really dark, and there were a bunch of familiars. the witch itself was like,,,,, idek it was rlly big- i wasnt scared at all though, i felt super confident and ready. i think dream me had a lot of experience fighting wicthes. being with mami and madoka def helped too
i put my soul gem away (idk how i had it on me while i was transformed lol), and began fighting the witch. again, dont really remember, but im pretty sure kyubey was there too, helping me fight the witch.
also, i had another weapon. it was a gold staff with a big ring on the top, holding a bunch of other gold rings. this weapons been stuck in my head since yesterday, so maybe its important ??
speaking of yesterday, this sigil kept popping up in my head, and it was in my dream too. im wondering if im seeing a witches sigil ? does this mean a witch is close by ? im not contracted, so idk how im seeing a witches sigil...
ignore how poorly drawn this is, im using my computer rn lmao-
edit: i asked in a mh group im in what this could mean, and someone said it's likely a witches kiss. so, i now know what witch i'll be battling first once i contract !! i have a feeling this witch is quite powerful, so i'll definetly have to have a more experienced magi come with me.
anyways, im pretty sure i defeated the witch in my dream, madoka and mami werent helping me fight the witch, moreso supporting me from the sidelines and watching incase i needed help.
in my dream, the witch was like... familiar. not familiar as in ive fought it before, but familiar as in its been near me for a very long time, or, at least, near someone i know... doesnt help that, when the sigil popped up in my head yesteray, it was like... on my fathers aura ?? and every time hes near me it pops up in my head.
if anyone has any thoughts on this, lmk !
anyways, today i'll try and contact kyubey !!! i'll tell you all how it goes :D
im also gonna buy the ring ive decided on being my soul gem ! i do have one concern though...
WHAT IF I GROW OUT OF THE RING ????? what happens if it gets too small ????? is there a way to transfer your soul into a new soul gem in the future ? im so concerned that i'll grow out of the ring.... aaaa </3
well, thats all from me :') tysm for reading !!!! bye byee !!
I ALMOST SUCCESSFULLY ASTRAL PROJECTED !!!!!! AND KYUBEY HELPED ME !!!!!!
it wasnt completely successful, i think the word would be, sorry if i misspell, bilocating ?
basically b4 i went 2 bed i asked kyubey if he could help me, and put on an astral projection subliminal, and when i woke up like,,, 20 or 30 mins ago i forget lol, i woke up and was SO tired but kyubey SPOKE TO ME, LIKE, I COULD HEAR HIM WHICH HAS NEVER HAPPENED B4 ??? and he was like "no you gotta do this remember ?" so i got back on my back and LEMME TELL YOU
my room. was so bright. my tv had stopped playing my subliminal so it had that bright ass screen, and my window covers broke off so until that gets fixed i have NEWSPAPER on my window. which means my room is BRIGHT
so between that and my, i will admit, impatience, i didnt fully get into the vibrational stage by the time kyubey told me to start using the rope method (where u visualize a rope infront of u and have ur astral body / soul grab it and pull u up)
but ONCE I PULLED MYSELF OUT
it was sooo weird,,,, it was dark but i could see my room at the same time ??? not perfectly BUT I COULD SEE IT, and at first it was weird differentiating
i looked around my room for something i could look at to confirm i was actually seeing my room, and i remembered this drawer in my room that has these two crystals i keep forgetting to move out of there, but i didnt remember if i had at that point, so i was like "i'll use that" from my physical and astral body but i got over that pretty quickly
so i looked in the drawer, saw the crystals, and then kyubey was like "you see them ?" and i almost JUMPED because i did NOT see him there 😭 and he was like "you see me ? :3" like yes….. ho /j
anyways i went back to my body, and going back in felt WEIRDDDDD dude my whole body like. twitched and shi i felt like my body was coming back to life (which, i mean, kinda ? my soul was going back into my body)
anyways i checked the drawer and the crystals i saw in the astral wreent there but there WAS crystals in the drawer
i was so excited to post this i havent even eaten breakfast yet T_T also i feel a veryyyy familiar energy causing a weight on my shoulder,,,, have i officially reached the "kyubey on shoulder" state of being an irl puella magi :0
OKOK anyways i gotta eat breakfast,,,, im gonna practice lots more with astral projection so im ready to contract once my soul gem vessel gets here !!!!!
if any1 has any tips for fully astral projecting, and making the atsral more vivid, please please please let me know !!!!! :D
thank you for reading !
The Sound of Empty Stomachs Is Louder Than Bombs
My family has not eaten vegetables or meat for more than three months. Day after day, something else is missing: yesterday it was fruit, today it is flour - a distant dream because of its scarcity and high price.
how do you astral project? Do you have a spell for that?
you can use subliminals or spells if you want, but it's not needed at all ! i havent actually ap'd yet , but i've done a ton a research and asked other magical heroes that have ! ( tip - if you're a beginner magi trying to fight your first witch , PLEASE bring another , more experienced magi just in case ! never fight your first witch alone , wait until you get the hang of everything ! )
find a comfortable , quiet spot to lay down and relax . you can ap any time during the day , but in ny opinion , it's easier to attempt in the morning so you don't fall asleep . when you wake , stay very still . VERY STILL . don't even move your TOE .
𓎟ᛝ𓎟𓎟ᛝ𓎟𓎟 ᡣ𐭩 𓎟𓎟ᛝ𓎟𓎟ᛝ𓎟
your body will eventually start tingling uncomfortably . ( this is where i usually mess up , i cant handle the sensation ,,, ) at this point , move your body upwards ( without actually moving your body ) . just imagine it very strongly .
𓎟ᛝ𓎟𓎟ᛝ𓎟𓎟 ᡣ𐭩 𓎟𓎟ᛝ𓎟𓎟ᛝ𓎟
eventually , you should be able to pull your being up and out of your body ! personally , i recommend just getting used to the experience first , the first time you AP you shouldn't stray far from your body . stay in the room you're ap'ing in , and look at something you don't really pay attention to in your room . maybe a specific crayon or something ! note things about it ( ex , the paper is peeling off, the color is dandelion yellow , ect ) then return to your body. then , go and check the object and see if your descriptions were right ! the next time you AP , you can go to a different room ( one that your body isn't in ) and do the same thing with an object there ! and eventually , you can travel to different places you havent been before, then go to those places awake and see if they're the same ! that's how you know if it works
𓎟ᛝ𓎟𓎟ᛝ𓎟𓎟 ᡣ𐭩 𓎟𓎟ᛝ𓎟𓎟ᛝ𓎟
to return to your body , there are multiple ways . you can either go towards your body and pull yourself into it , make yourself aware of your body ( ex , thinking of it , trying to move your real limbs instead of your astral ones ) . some people , if they have an objective going into the astral , just automatically return to their bodies after completing their task . but if all of these fail, don't worry! your body will pull you back once it wakes up .
𓎟ᛝ𓎟𓎟ᛝ𓎟𓎟 ᡣ𐭩 𓎟𓎟ᛝ𓎟𓎟ᛝ𓎟
i hope this helped ! this is just according to my research , not according to my personal experiences . but , when i do finally get past the stupid tingly feeling and ap ( which i really have to do soon , because my soul gem is so dull ) , i'll update accordingly !! ♡
(note; this is not roleplay, delusion, or fictionkin, but those who are rping, delusional, or fictionkin can interact. please do not call me delusional / psychotic, as this can cause me to doubt my own experiences and reality, which can send me into psychosis.)
im gonna take an energy cleansing shower later and then try and communicate with kyubey / an incubator willing to talk to me !! :D im gonna write down a list of questions i have for kyubey / the incubator.
before i do this though, do any puella magi's / more experienced pop culture pagans have any advice for confirming whether the being you're talking to is kyubey / a real / trustworthy incubator ? any specific questions i should ask ? any warning signs / red flags i should be aware of that signal that i'm not actually speaking with kyubey / a real and/or trustworthy incubator ?
also, i plan on using a pendulum and tarot to communicate with kyubey / the incubator, but are there any better methods / methods that kyubey / incubators prefer ? and is there anything i should do before trying to speak with them (a ritual, offering, etc) ?
any and all advice is super appreciated !!! tysm :D
