I honestly believe the gods want you to be independent. They do not want you calling on Them five times a day. They are not constantly hanging over our shoulder, telling us "make the bed, eat healthy, don't skip breakfast, work out, try harder on that math question, take the water instead of soda, do your homework right after school, shower, brush your teeth, go to sleep on time, etc"
We should be able to manage ourselves. They are there to support us, and They might help in certain areas, like if you have an ED then yes maybe They do push a little harder for you to eat healthily, but for the most part no. They are gods, not our parents.
If you rely on Them too much throughout the day, if you keep calling on Them out of loneliness and needing someone to tell you to make the right decision, you've got
✨ A co-dependent relationship ✨
Which means if that deity leaves, takes a break, or if your connection is severed for some reason, you will completely break down. That is not sustainable. That is not healthy.
🔮 Absolutely random, assorted facts from my experience with Tarot:
You can set rules with your deck. Don’t like reversed cards? Don’t pull them. Don’t interpret them. Request not to get them. Don’t care about the position of the card and want only its meaning? Ask for it.
You can pull confirmation cards. If you are working with a companion, you can set up their personal confirmation card. If you’re working with the deck and the general universe, you can pick a feel-good card (or a rare card if you want) and request it whenever you want to get a vibecheck.
You can repull. If it feels weird, it probably is weird. If you keep pulling the same card all over again, it’s probably correct. But if you pulled one weird one that just doesn’t seem like it belongs, repull. Your deck - your rules.
You don’t need to sweat too much over “official meanings”. So what if the Tower means “something bad”? If it means something positive for you, go with your feelings first. Each practitioner will have their own associations with the cards. I for one quite like the Tower, but I genuinely hate getting the High Priestess. It’s individual.
You don’t need to work with a specific Deity, spirit, or daemon. The cards are powerful tools without any additional presence.
You can assign a deck to a particular entity. I have four decks, out of which three belong to (a) companion(s) of mine. This is completely individual and fully relies on who you want to touch your cards.
You can confuse the cards. When the reading starts to feel like it just reiterates your feelings, it probably is. Or you worded your question badly and the cards don’t know what to tell you. Or you already know the answer. Or maybe something else.
You might be turning your spread into multiple spreads. If your session with tarot can be broken into a number of smaller sessions, you are probably overworking yourself. It helps to step back and think whether or not your multi-card spread turned into a multitude of smaller spreads. Is that why nothing is making sense?
You might be told to read cards some other time. Bias, moods, instability, or the cards just being not in the good state - all of these can affect whether they agree to work with you in the first place. I’ve had decks that stayed “silent” for months on and decks that were willing to work with me every day. It depends.
P. S. One more time: this is just my experience. It is not universal.
Do you have any books about Lucifer or Luciferianism that you’d recommend?
i do! i have a note doc saved of book recs for just this purpose lol. here's the ones i usually recommend first:
The Devil: A New Biography by Phillip Almond
Satanic Feminism by Per Faxneld
Satan: A Biography by Henry Ansgar Kelly
The Devil's Dozen by Gemma Gary
Poetics of Iblis (not about Lucifer but about Satan in Islam, which is worth reading if that's also a perspective you want to see)
here's some that may still be useful but id take everything with a grain of salt. (either i forget what these are about so i can't vouch much for them or i personally don't agree with a good bit of the info in these but they're worth sifting through for relevant info or for forming your own opinions on his mythos tbh):
Children of Lucifer by Ruben Luijk (focuses more on how religious Satanism came to be rather than on Lucifer himself)
The Birth of Satan by TJ Wray
Pillars of Tubal Cain by Michael Howard
The Book of Fallen Angels by Michael Howard
The Devil and Demonism in Early Modern England by Nathan Johnstone (i forget if ive even read this yet djdkdk)

see the first post here
wear devotional jewelry (typically a symbol that is associated with them, but can be anything as long as you designate it)
create something with them/for them (poetry, drawings, cook or bake, build something, etc)
research their myths
create playlists for them and listen to those playlists
do you like sandbox games? create a shrine, temple, altar, etc for your deities in those games (like minecraft, terraria, stardew valley, etc)
go on a walk outside and invite them with you
thank them. thank them for anything and everything
take care of yourself as a devotion to them. if you want to specify, you could do this with a deity that is more closely related to self care (my mind immediately goes to Aphrodite or Hera), but any deity would appreciate you taking care of yourself; they love you
set aside a day of the week to be “their” day and spend time with them, give them offerings, etc that day (some deities are associated with days of the week; apollo for sunday, artemis for monday, thor and zeus for thursday, to name a few)
be creative! above all, the gods like to see that you put thought and effort into your worship. it doesn’t have to be grand or expensive to be thoughtful, just heartfelt. may the gods be with you <3
these blogs are known for being part of a neo-nazi, antisemetic hate group that sends spammy asks to nearly every witchcraft blog on this hellsite. these asks usually include a link to their website, which just boosts their seo and gives them more traffic. do not interact with them. do not answer their messages/asks, and do not engage. i highly encourage you block the following accounts:
gulbara
ostara-444
heaven-nor-hell
daemonsagenda
oracle-of-raum
887266161
holy-oracle-of-satan
i also recommend turning off anonymous asks - they tend to prefer to send asks anonymously, and if you have that feature turned off on your blog, they'll be less likely to bother you.
i'll be adding to this list as i discover more!
So I wasn't sure if I should put it out there, for the person's privacy, but the she removed from both Discord and Tumblr and the message isn't very specific - and I think it's important for people to know, especially the minors out there.
