Xdivinedecay - I Contemplate The Moment In The Garden

there's just something about john vs judas. the beloved vs the betrayer. the witness vs the instigator. the insider vs the outsider. the hug vs the kiss. being the last to die vs the first. graced by god vs praised be god.

A Prayer to Joan of Arc🗡🖤

Feel free to use this in your practice and to connect with Joan of Arc! She’s a wonderful saint, I love Joan a lot and hope that others may find this prayer helpful too. They’re a great spirit to go to when first starting to work with saints, as she can help with so many things. Joan is someone I regularly go to for protecting myself and others, they have such a powerful presence.

Blessed Joan of Arc

Filled with love and understanding for those who call on you,

you have compassion for those suffering through grief and desolation.

Dear brave and holy leader, help me to carry the weight of my battles,

I pray to you and ask you to keep me under your fierce protection, take my hand and guide me

Fearless Joan of Arc, ride alongside and fight with me

amen

you can make prayer cards for your own patron saints with just a little bit of blackout poetry, an old-timey cowboy portrait, and a few old issues of National Geographic (before they switched to that glossy late '80s/'90s paper)

bonus points if you have access to an old-school laminator

✧ Introduction ˖⁺ ‧₊˚ .

✦ You can call me Temple !

✦ 30+, genderfluid (she/her/he/him), queer, married

✦ Progressive, non-trad Roman Catholic* witch

✦ Aquarius sun, Pisces rising, Capricorn moon

* I was raised Catholic with very little structure or consistency, and I have lived most of my life as agnostic and scientifically-minded. I come from a background of not viewing God in the same ways that many do, or is depicted in the Bible, and I can't say that my views have changed much. I am embarking on a new journey to chase a calling I keep feeling by educating myself, and exploring my instincts and inspirations. St. Joan d'Arc is the one that called me into this direction.

I practice intercession of the saints and angels.

I perform tarot readings, prayer, devotions and offerings, and have done minor spellwork using flora, minerals, and herbs. I especially enjoy astrology and natal chart tracking.

More info about my beliefs can be found here. I will update and change my ideology and catalogue my beliefs there over time.

I love dark and horror content, please be advised! I may reblog such things especially including media as Midnight Mass (Netflix), FAITH: The Unholy Trinity, Ghost (band), and more. I love the genre especially when combined with existentialism, and I find a lot of meaning and inspiration in some of this content. I will tag these with Temple:Darkmode for you to mute if you do not like to see this kind of stuff!

I welcome Christo-pagans, Christians, Orthodox, Pagans, Heathens, Luciferians, and more as long as we agree on mutual respect, progressive values, protecting trans lives, supporting Palestine, etc.!

I am ESPECIALLY looking for mutuals that practice as Christian-adjacent that are interested in knowing someone that may see things differently.

Please engage/follow me if you vibe with anything above (and would care to see my content and what I share, of course)!
