Shifting Is Literally So Enlightening To Me Because I've Never Felt Like I Belonged In This Reality Ever

Hello! So I was just wondering if anyone in the shifting community (that isn't me) looks into their destiny matrix chart with their birthday in the desired reality? And also their s/o's destiny matrix chart and like your compatibility with them? Because like depending on like your destiny matrix chart main arcana means you personality can be different? Because I've grown into the habit of that.

So when you're about to shift, I love that feeling of not being in your reality and that pull you feel. So, for context last night, I finished my second script, spoke out loud some affirmations and then I played a video on YouTube called "SHIFT EASIER WITH THIS| 3 hours + Affirmations for Reality shifting" by Alunir Meditations. I did, and I felt like my environment was changing, like someone just put me in the air, and I was trying to pull me forward. I was slightly panicking because I've never felt that before, but can I say right now I LOVE that feeling! That feeling of being pulled and feeling like you're not exactly in your original reality. I almost shifted, and I'm so happy about it! I almost did! I fully recommend that YouTube video to listen to throughout the day or at night for shifting!

The way some people cannot understand that when I, an aroace-spec person, call someone "hot" it doesn't mean I'd like to share bed with them, but that I think they are a pleasing sight for my eyes. Yeah, they have good features. Yeah, they are pretty/handsome. That's it. Nothing more, it's just nice to look at them. Just like looking at some flower or aesthetically pleasing food. You don't need to like the scent of that flower or taste of that food, but it looks nice.

Writing for your deities is such a liberation. It's a way to pour out your feelings, to write them down not only for your deities to see, but also for you to better understand. It doesn’t matter if you see yourself as a "good writer", or a "bad writer". Prayer and poetry are always magnificent when written in honor of what you love, and what you believe in. Sure, the prayers you write may not hold as much meaning if shown to others, but that is precisely the beauty of it. Something that is written from you to the Gods is absolutely sacred.

I feel like when people get into deity work, deity worship or anything deity related we all kinda think that we NEED to communicate with them, we NEED to do tarot cards with them, we NEED to reach out and actively work with them. But I feel like that's not it. Yes, you can communicate with them if you and them want to. Yes, you can do tarot cards with them. Yes, you can actively work with them, but you don't HAVE to. I think you can also just light their candle, give them an offering and just spend 20 minutes or however long you want listening to music with them and just chatting to them about whatever is on your mind and they won't mind it. Because you are putting in the effort and your time to be with them even if it's not doing any of the things you see a lot of pagans and witches do on tiktok.

It's okay to have a shorter time with deities if your tired or you've had an eventful day and need some time to recover, they will understand.

I have a routine with Loki and Lady Hekate, at 5pm I devote an hour for them both. But yesterday so many things happened and I walked to get dinner, then my sister offered to watch a movie with me (that never happens) and I agreed. By the time when that was all done, it was 7pm, I was starting to get a little tired.

I gave Loki a new candle as an offering and to keep my promise I gave him the day before. I didn't give neither Loki or Hekate a incense offering because it was late and I just wasn't up to it. I meditated for four minutes, then gave Lady Hekate a glass of milk for an offering. I wished them both a good day, apologised that I didn't do some of my normal routines with them and then blew out their candles.

I felt bad but then realised they knew we're human. They know we can get tired and lose track of time. They know we have people in our lives and other things that require our attention as long as you make it up to them later, then you can relax. Just breathe, they understand.

a reminder that deities you work with don't hate you for not being able to do things, especially not if you're physically or mentally able to!

the gods understand that we're not perfect, that we're just fleshy meat sacks and that some of us aren't able to do things as much, and you shouldn't compare your craft to anyone else's! it's yours after all.

and if you're worried that your offerings aren't good enough, think about it like this. if a little crow came up to you and gave you a stick, you wouldn't think "what a dumb crow, why'd you give me a stick?", would you? no! you'd know that the little crow is doing his best and wanted to give you a gift. to the deities, you're that little crow, and they know you're doing your best <3

It's wonderful how, with no warning and without even trying, we will randomly stumble across new favorite songs, new favorite artists, new favorite books, new favorite movies, new favorite games, new favorite shows, new favorite snacks, new passions, new hobbies, new interests, new favorite blogs and new favorite people. So when things are terrible, hold onto the fact that someday, possibly when you least expect it, you'll suddenly come across something wonderful!

WAYS TO FEEL CONNECTED TO YOUR DESIRED REALITY:

1. Try to dress like your desired reality self (through clothing, make-up, hair, ect. If you can't for whatever reason, then wear something that your desired reality self would wear on a lazy day.)

2. Daydream about being in your desired reality, and if you have scripted specific scenes to happen, daydream you are in your desired reality, and that's happening.

3. Have a book that is filled with quotes, poems, drawings, and letters that are dedicated to your desired reality s/o, friends or family members, and/or dedicate it to write everything that the people who are important to you in your desired reality like and dislike, things you've observed about them.

4. Daydream about watching a movie or show with your s/o, friends, and family members while cuddling with them (platonically or romantically) while in your original reality.

5. Listen to music that reminds you of your desired reality, friends, family, s/o.

That's all I can think of for now, but now it's time for you to GO SHIFT!
