Hiii!

So correct me if I'm wrong, you work with deities, right? I was wondering if someone gave a food/drink offering to a deity, would it rot? Do they have to replace the offering every few days or nah?

Hi! Yes I do :)

So, this really depends. Back in the yknow ancient days, people would typically leave the offering alone. However, most people nowadays aren't comfortable with "wasting" food like that, so I would say most people who work with deities will either not offer food or they'll eat the offered food themselves.

Now, I have seen people just leave the food, I see it more with Chthonic deities, and oftentimes they'll either compose the food afterward or just throw it out (but again, most people aren't comfortable with just throwing it out so they're usually not doing so).

How often you offer something to a deity depends on the deity you work with and yourself. Some people try to do it every day while others can only do it every now and then. And there are other kinds of offerings, not just food! For example, every time I'm listening to music, I can offer it to Apollo.

Now that I think of it though, you could totally just manifest that the food never rots hahah

Why you should lock your mirrors and how to do it

Taken from my BOS, inspired by a viral tiktok, adapted to my own practice

In Mesoamerican culture, mirrors were seen as portals. Some say that these portals are from one dimension to another, and others say it is a portal to the realm of the dead. This is why many witches suggest covering your mirrors at night or if they are facing your bed. However, some may want to have the full convenience of not covering their mirrors at all, during any time of day. This is where locking mirrors comes in. Not only is it convenient, but it adds another layer of protection to your home. Wards mean nothing if you have an open portal to the dead in your bathroom.

How to lock a mirror:

Gather full moon water, florida water, or another protective liquid that won’t leave a stain on the mirror.

Wash (physically clean) and cleanse (spiritually clean) your hands. You can do this by running them under water or passing them through incense smoke.

Dip your fingers into the moon water, or whatever liquid you are using, and draw a pentacle or protective sigil on the mirror. Imagine the mirror closing (you can visualize this as a light behind the mirror fading, or metal bars locking in front of the mirror--whatever your mind’s eye sees the portal as).

Let the water on the mirror air-dry on its own.

“Peace Of Heart” / “Peace Of Mind”

You can meditate with one or both of these. Sleep with ‘Peace of Mind’ under or in your pillow Draw ‘Peace of Heart’ over your heart

Hannah Im experiencing a lot of deja vu. I know it is primarly a brain phenomena but in my case it feels like Im approching smthg in my life like Im getting closer, do you get me ? I hope youre doing well 👽💜

increased deja vu is a sign of quantum leaping. you’re about to switch timelines by cutting old ones. It’s very important for you to observe and soak up all these yummy energies while you can. Focus on what makes you feel light, focus on what makes you happy. Do not let yourself fall back into old habits or reminisce on the past. Be grateful for the lessons you’ve learned, but know that you are better off where you are now. Know that you are always where you’re meant to be. Listen to your body. Drink lots of water (coconut water is really really helpful), eat what you’re hungry for when you’re hungry for it, pee when you have to pee. Do what you feel like doing when you feel like doing it. Spend lots of time in the sun with the intention of soaking up it’s light codes. Sleep when you’re tired. Daydream about things that bring you joy and make you feel bubbly. Know that you are magic. Know that you are worthy of everything good. Be open to receiving expected and unexpected blessings. Be open to receiving and implementing these new things all at once. 

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

feeling unworthy

is a self-inflicting punishment ‎

unworthy — If a person or thing is unworthy of something good, they believe they do not deserve it.

many of us get in that position of finally wanting to do something better for ourselves and start to manifest what we truly want but that feeling of empowerment becomes overshadowed by the feeling of unworthiness.

feelings of unworthiness can linger from time to time and impact our lives, they trap and imprison us from fulfilling any sense of individuality.

why do we feel this way?

this certain feeling can stem from many things e.g past situations, i know i felt unworthy for a long time because my self-worth depended on others

many people feel unworthy because they compare themselves to others and their own personal achievements or they feel used to settling because it became uncomfortable for them to want the best for themselves.

with these situations we take them with us to later punish ourselves with. for example i might wear a crop top and get laughed at, with this experience i take it with me and decide to never wear a crop top again.

how to stop feeling this way?

IDENTIFYING WITH THE INNER MAN.

when we feel unworthy it’s because we identify and think from, feel from and assume from our limited selves.

when we identify with the inner man, the inner man that has no form. the inner man that has no shame, no guilt, no sense of unworthiness and gives itself everything it so desires we can easily express what we want without an unwanted feeling in its presence.

the inner man is completely free. you allow that inner man to explore. you allow yourself to experience what it feels like to not be chained down to past experiences & past feelings.

I am told, "God is in heaven and does whatever He pleases." God speaks and says, "If I were hungry I would not tell you, for the world is mine, and all that is in it."

Do not be afraid but IDENTIFY yourself FULLY with the INNER MAN. The immortal you. The one that can do ANYTHING it wants. The one who owns the world and all that is in it. I am serious when I say this, I am not using hyperbole. If you identify yourself with the inner man, you will be free. — EdwardArt.

how to identify with the ‘inner man?’

when i say inner man, i don’t mean to turn this into some quick technique in “hopes” of identifying with the inner man, don’t overcomplicate and rather just be.

ASK YOURSELF: how would i feel if i was finally free? idk how you would feel because i am not you. this is your own personal realised feeling.

what i like to do is visualise running into the ocean and jumping in. i feel the coldness of the water, i feel the cold winds brushing past me. to me this is freedom.

"Identify yourself with the one within and give yourself what you want with FEELING." — EdwardArt

and my personal note to you is, don’t hold back because you’re so used to familiar patterns. you deserve to go above and beyond and dive deeper into things you want. yes, even when youre scared, even when you feel unworthy.

you are not a feeling, you are not a state, you are simply your imagination occupying states that you can simply leave & enter again.

you as the inner man are invincible. free. the inner man doesn’t ask for permission, the inner doesn’t fret about ‘is it mine?’ ‘am i doing if right?’ ‘am i worthy of this’ it just DOES WHATEVER IT WANTS TO DO.

it reminds me of this quote

everything is easier once you stop forcing control but allow yourself to just BE. identifying with the inner man enables you to no longer worry because everything is being taken care of.

if this concept is new to you id recommend reading this post of edwardart and also taking your time. you don’t need to immediately get this and understand it perfectly, test it. find out how to make this process more natural for you.

after all, this is your own journey and you will get there.
