One of my favorite witchy reads from last year: Ivo Dominguez Jr.'s THE FOUR ELEMENTS OF THE WISE. This book was deeply thought-provoking and expanded my perspective on the elements. Definitely a book I'd return to (though I took copious notes). #WitchSky

The dirty secret is that those of us who refuse to give up our intellects to machines will be at an immense advantage to people who do give up their thinking and writing to machines. They may get words on a page faster, but when it comes to actual thought (which is vital)? They'll be helpless.

As a former worshiper of Morpheus, I've wanted to write about his anomalous existence in Hellenic polytheism, so I compiled some thoughts about him, with emphasis on his origins and his modern identity. #HellenicPolytheism 🔮 Find the post here (public tier): www.patreon.com/posts/morphe...

🔮 FREE POST 🔮 My newest post is dedicated to all my members! It expands upon Hekate's role as a household goddess and explores some of the ways we can incorporate more of Her into our home life. #Hekate www.patreon.com/posts/hekate...

I want liberation for everyone. Not just the people I like, the people who like me, or the people in my communities. I want free food and housing and healthcare and education and representation for EVERYONE. Human rights are for EVERYONE. And if you hate my guts, I want those things for you too.

Thank you, Artemis, for giving me the courage and determination to finish this anthology submission, even if my work ultimately wasn't accepted. Not all hunts end successfully, but I'm proud of myself for having tried. 🖤

On the back is an image of two pine trees, like that found at her shrine in a temple of Aesclepius. sorcerersworkbench.etsy.com/listing/1503... #Pagan #HelPol #QueerArtist #BSNM

🔑 PATRON POST 🔑 This is an idea that fell into my head at the beginning of August. It was inspired by the ancient Greek tendency to leave votive offerings at temples in gratitude for fulfilled wishes. I wanted to incorporate something similar into my own practice! www.patreon.com/posts/votive...

🔮 PUBLIC POST 🔮 My newest essay reflects upon spiritual discernment, divine callings, and the obstacles we may confront when attempting to commune with deities in the modern age. #PaganSky www.patreon.com/posts/on-dis...

Welcome! I go by MORPHEIA (she/they). I write articles, essays, & reflections about paganism (generally Hellenic), magick, mysticism, and similar topics over on Patreon. Feel free to join my little community there; I offer a mix of free and patron-exclusive content! 🔮 patreon.com/morphicmythos

Learning how to communicate with your chosen "higher power" (Deities, spirits, ancestors, HGA, Higher Self, etc.) is an important first step in magick because many of your questions can be answered by them. The less you communicate with them, the more you'll be reliant on external sources. #WitchSky

A recent read for my deep-dive on Artemis. I really appreciate Ionescu's attempts to expand on some of the lesser-known aspects of this underrated goddess. 🏹🖤

An essay about the nature of Artemis, following some personal revelations/reflections in my own practice: www.patreon.com/posts/artemi...

Inspired by recent developments in my own practice, here are some thoughts about the possibility of Hekate retreating from our practice or "passing the torch" to another deity/spirit. 👉 www.patreon.com/posts/when-h...

HEKATE HER SACRED FIRES is an anthology I've started recommending to those new to Hekate because it's a great overview of just how vast and varied Hekatean worship is in modern day. 🔥 My own thoughts below (for keyholders): www.patreon.com/posts/libri-...

Just got my hands on Carla Ionescu's SHE WHO HUNTS. Hoping it'll make for some great devotional reading/research. 🦌🏹 It's a shame it's so hard to find decent sources on Artemis's historical worship, though.

I'm expanding my content a bit! More details here, along with an overview of the articles and essays I have lined up for the remainder of the year. 🔮 www.patreon.com/posts/topic-...

If you want to befriend the trees, take them some water, ask them their name. Say hello when you see them. Thank them for protecting your home and the land you live on. Most people pay trees no mind, but they’re watchful guardian spirits. #WitchSky #PaganSky #SpiritWork

Athena of the Varvakeion

I'm honestly really tempted now to go back through my journals to see just how long I was being pointed toward Artemis. The more I reflect on it, the more I'm beginning to realize that Artemis really is the presence I need right now, and it grieves me that I waited this long to focus on Her. 😔

Compiled a few thoughts on Tara Sanchez's THE TEMPLE OF HEKATE. I don't see this book discussed as much as, say, Sorita d'Este's works, but it was still an intriguing read. Probably of interest to Hekatean worshipers who lean Helpol. www.patreon.com/posts/libri-...

A dream of Artemis I had in early January only JUST clicked last night when I was talking to Her. Proof that some dreams, visions, or readings will only make sense later down the road.

Just published a personal essay for my free members about the concept of polycentric polytheism, or "all gods in every god." This model is fascinating to me, and it's not one I hear discussed often in polytheist spheres! #PaganSky www.patreon.com/posts/polyce...

A recent read as I begin to incorporate more of Artemis into my practice. 🏹🦌 www.patreon.com/posts/libri-...

the universe literally evolved sensory organs to experience itself

Artemis may have a sense of humor. I asked for Her to appear in my dreams last night, and She did...in statue form. 😅

Recently finished ANATOMY OF A WITCH. This is actually a great book for beginners, as it teaches us to trust our own inherent power before reaching out to external sources, e.g. spirits/daimones, deities, elements, etc. Love the emphasis on cultivating the magical self. #WitchSky
