Hii! I Saw Your Post Saying You'd Be Open To Questions About Your Practices And I Was Wondering If You

Hii! I saw your post saying you'd be open to questions about your practices and I was wondering if you had any notes for writing an occultist character? (I.e. practices, beliefs, environment/home life, etc) I really wanna do justice to this culture and practice since I've never really looked into it before now.

Thank you so much!

Hi! Sorry for not answering this sooner!

Hm... I don't want to be the type of person who says "just research" but it is true that researching DIFFERENT TYPES of magical paths and occultism is gonna benefit your writing! Expanding your views is gonna help you a lot!

I think that one thing i would love to see when reading about an occultist character, is the challenges of being an occultist. Especially the mundane challenges and obstacles such as:

-unsupportive environment

-prejudice

-AND also! The character's own flaws.

People think that just because a character is a part of a certain group, that they can't have their own prejudice and flaws! Which is very much false.

But also, a lot of writers try to neglect the "bad environment" aspect. They think that no one wants to see that. But it is a biiiiiig part of almost every occultist's lives.

As we all received a bad comment or a few from someone...

I PERSONALLY do not like ignoring such problems in stories! But that's just me!

I'm sorry if my reply was unsatisfactory! :") i tried my best lol

I KINDA WANNA make one of those digital temples but for slavic gods instead , but i know they will flop and no one will want to see it 😔

Hey guys just a quick disclaimer. Yes i did use AI art for like.. one or three of my posts? Honestly not sure. But I don't support that sheeeeet anymore tbh. I realized how soulless and dull it is. And how it is annoying for artists when their art gets stolen by AI.

Thank you for understanding! I won't be using AI art again in my posts. If i find a photo on the internet by an "AI artist" and accidentally post it without realizing it, feel free to tell me! I am bad with spotting AI art ok 😭

I MADE IT Y'ALL!

An issue i have with pagan side of Tumblr...

Please read the whole post before commenting!

In order to actually get likes and reblogs i need to start my blog with "daily/friendly reminder" "hot take" or just make a rant about pagan tiktok. You will only get comments and likes when you make a discourse post or a "gods love you" post for the 100th time this week.

👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

Don't get me wrong, it's not all about likes. But sometimes i feel like i am talking to a wall 😭. It's exhausting to see that Tumblr is becoming like TikTok: you only catch people's short span of attention by validating people's feelings about things that are normal. Like taking a break from worship and practice.

I JUST WANT TO HAVE ACTUAL DEEP, MEANINGFUL CONVERSATION ABOUT PAGANISM ON TUMBLR.

Maybe i am just new and don't understand stuff , i only joined last year... And people will come to me in the comments saying "bruh what did you expect this is a fandom space!" But all i want is to stop this repetitive wave of posts about discourse and toxic positivity.

Thank you for reading!!!

about a month ago, hermes appeared in my dreams and told me something along the lines of "Hmmm, yes, you're a child of mine"

i think about that every day and i wonder if i missed the chance to connect with him

(i dont think he meant it literally lol, i'm not delulu like that)

Oh! I see! Well, i doubt that he just forgot about you or something if he called you that!

I think deities are very understanding, and especially Hermes! You absolutely didn't miss the chance and you should try to reach out to him if you feel called to! Even if you don't wish to have a connection with him, i would personally advise you to use whatever divination method or communication method you prefer, and talk to him! As he probably has something valuable to say , even if you don't choose to have a relationship!

Thank you for the ask! 😄😌 I hope i helped a little!!!
