How To Know When Your God Has Claimed You

How to Know When Your God Has Claimed You

As I told the initiates in one of our first classes, traditional pagan witchcraft is closer to atheism than to modern witchcraft. Because we never rely on faith alone. We wait for evidence. “In our family, being claimed is never just a feeling. It is real and concrete. Neither circumstantial nor fleeting.” And now that all of the initiates have been claimed by their divine parents, I can finally repost this.

APOLLO

The God of Victory will give you a miraculous triumph at the last minute. Whether through a sports match, a final exam in school or a promotion at work… whatever was impossible will take a turn. And at the moment of your win, the Sun will shine on you. If it is raining, it will suddenly stop. If it is a bright day, it will turn gloomy, except right above you.

DIANA

The Goddess of Fertility will bathe you in silver. When you look in the mirror, you will see yourself wearing a silver necklace you cannot feel on your neck. You will hear people compliment a silver bracelet you cannot see yourself wearing. You will see photographs of you wearing a silver dress when in reality the fabric was black or red.

MERCURY

The God of Wit and Trickery will give you a tragedy. Something unexpected and shocking. But almost immediately, you will find that this disaster has led you to something better than you ever imagined. That is him whimsically turning your car around, showing you the right way to your destiny.

VENUS

The Goddess of Beauty will scar you. Something will wound you. An accident will make you bleed. And then the very next day, you will see no trace of it on your skin. It will miraculously heal. That is her letting you know that she can give and she can take away, now that you are hers.

MARS

The God of War will spill blood in your name to christen you. That boy in school who has been bullying you will find himself in a wheelchair. Some villainous adult you have been feeling threatened by could suddenly die. You will come across books and websites about making your dreams come true and being ambitious and true to you.

JUPITER

The God of Abundance will give you a windfall. Your parents could suddenly get promoted, benefitting you directly. A distant aunt you did not know you had could die, leaving you an enormous inheritance. You could win a raffle draw you would not even remember joining. He likes to throw a party for his new children.

SATURN

The God of Harvest will balance the scales for you so you can start again. Anyone who cheated to get ahead of you will suddenly fall. Someone you deem unethical or immoral could lose everything they have. He will not give you an advantage, but he will take away others’ head start so you can compete fairly again.

URANUS

The God of Chaos will give you endless waking visions. You will spend a whole afternoon in a chocolatier only to find out the next day that it never existed. You will have a long conversation with a man only for someone to approach you and say, “Why are you talking to yourself?” He will let you travel through the veil to different times and realities.

NEPTUNE

The God of the Hidden will whisper in your ear. He will tell you secrets about people, places and things. It is a test. If you use this knowledge to hurt the innocent, you will never hear from him again. But if you use it to destroy only the cruel and the deserving, he will keep talking.

PLUTO

The God of the Underworld will physically visit you. You will wake up in the middle of the night to find a tall, hooded figure standing a few feet away. You will feel sleepy. When you wake up again, you will see him sitting on your bed, silently watching you. The next time you open your eyes, you will see his face inches away from yours. He will not be smiling, but it will feel so comforting.

I’ve heard of god spousing a bit but there’s lots of contrasting information about it and what it actually is. Would you mind explaining it?

I'm sure there are multiple specific definitions for each person's practice, but in general it's belief that you can have a romantic relationship with a God. In many cases it implies entering some sort of spiritual marriage, bond, or a similar relationship implying closeness, intimacy, and uniqueness of the tie between the worshipper and the Deity (hence "spouse"), but that isn't necessary.

For a myth example... Think about Ariadne, who was a mortal married to a God; or Hyacinth, who was a mortal in a relationship with a God - and other mortals that happened to be picked by and taken into a Divine-mortal relationship. For less intense examples: think about Cassandra who was devoted to Apollo as a lover would, or about other priests and priestesses who would see their Patrons as their lovers. Christianity does it too btw.

This concept, but applied to everyday worship. Some people find comfort in knowing they are loved as a lover or a spouse, but of course it doesn't make anyone less/more than another if they're in a relationship like that. It's just a way some people choose to perceive their faith and their Deities. Nothing harmful done. 🌞

ʜᴏᴡ ᴛᴏ ɪɴᴅᴜᴄᴇ ᴘᴜʀᴇ ᴄᴏɴꜱᴄɪᴏᴜꜱɴᴇꜱꜱ ᴇᴀꜱɪʟʏ ᴛᴏɴɪɢʜᴛ (𝐒𝐥𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐬)

Does inducing pure consciousness (or the void) seem complicated? I promise it is EASIER than you think! You just need to understand how your body and mind are working at that moment.

BODY SLEEPS, MIND STAYS AWAKE

The key to everything is this: when the body falls asleep and the mind stays awake, you are in pure consciousness.

Why? Because without an active body, the ego loses power. No limiting thoughts, no fixed identity, just YOU as pure awareness.

HOW TO DO THIS

Do this after you wake up at night (your body is already super relaxed and ready to go back to sleep!)

Lie down and relax, without moving.

Let your body fall asleep, but keep your mind awake. Count in your head or focus on an imaginary point in space. This prevents your mind from following your body into sleep!

If you feel tingling, heaviness, or a feeling of “disconnection” from your body, you’re there!

At this point, simply affirm, “I am pure consciousness” or “I am in the void.”

Boom. Your body is asleep, you are pure consciousness.

You will find yourself in an immense calm and darkness, with no body perception. No weight, no limiting thoughts. Just YOU.

You are in the void. You are consciousness itself.

And from here you can manifest anything instantly!

COMMON MISTAKES AND HOW TO AVOID THEM

✗ Waiting too carefully for the body to fall asleep (the paradox is that the more you wait, the less it happens! It's a bit like when you wait for a message on your cell phone, the more you check the less it arrives, right? haha) ✓ Ignore the body and focus on something neutral (like counting, singing, etc.).

✗Thinking that it's difficult or that it takes a long time. ✓IT'S EASY! The body falls asleep every night, just don't interfere!

✗Being afraid of sleep paralysis. ✓It's not a problem, IT'S YOUR ALLY! If you feel "blocked", it means you did everything right!

♡You don't have to "do" something, you just have to let it happen.The body sleeps every night. You just have to stay present with your mind awake.

That's why it's FAST and EASY.♡

Manifest what you want now bitch 🤭

how people who are victims of misinformation of the void and consciousness look at me when I tell them you can “enter” the void or “become” the pure consciousness simply by stuff like daydreaming, having inner monologue, or just really anything that puts your mind off 3D and it doesn’t have to be 4 hours of subliminals or 6283 different methods

I AM FREE TO BE WHOEVER I WANT

i allow myself to endlessly create whatever it is i want. i hold no judgments over my self, i let my past self go to fully focus on the now— whatever so i desire i can be. the world is mine, there is no one stopping me from becoming who i want to be. there is no obstacle to face. everything is so easy for me. why should i struggle in a world where i have the paintbrush that can paint anything i want? why should i allow self-destructive habits to grow when i can put a stop to it and engage in habits that will help me evolve?
