eeeeeeee digital grimoire eeeeeee

For the past few weeks I've been in the process of digitising everything from my irl grimoires over my years of practice into one big google doc. and when i say everything I mean

e v e r y t h i n g . . .

I decided to do this because I have dyslexia. Writing by hand has always been a struggle. Words change in my field of vision all the time. Letters always seem to be in the wrong place and oh my god the line jumping. I hate the line jumping. And on top of that i'm also a perfectionist. there's always new information i missed or mistakes i didn't realise until they were already written down.

A digital grimoire just sounds a lot more efficient for how my brain works. I can edit and reformat things, I can make links and organise my references and since i'm a digital artist as well I can add my own artwork to the pages for some extra zest.

Here are some examples of my current page formatting (ignoring any grammar mistakes).

so far i'm rly enjoying this but damm i got a lot to get through and I'm currently on 45 pages including a reference list. I might even fuck around and make a front cover.

Moved back to the window for Beltaine

I think over my years of worship I realized that the offerings i give don't have to be physical. Devoting quality time to the gods is honestly just as good, if not better because i don't feel as guilty about wasting food and i get some time to relax as well as give the gods a offering.

I had some money left over from my student loans so I decided to splurge on something I always wanted, some accurate and matching statues for my altar! The ones I have now I bought as representations but Apollo is the only one that's correct and Hermes and Dio were more like an "eh close enough I can't afford much else" kinda thing.

I'll reblog this thread with any updates and photos but it will be a while since they're out of the UK.

in case you wanted to check them out for yourself they're from: eStatueShop

So last night my neighbours we're being really noisy, playing loud ass music and banging on the walls because they're children.

Well it was 11 ish, that was still going on and I was wide awake so I said a prayer to Hermes asking for a peaceful sleep and to shut up my neighbours if he could.

Pretty much immediately, everything went quite and I nodded off as soon as my head hit the pillow... So uhh thank you.

My Latest Tarot Reading

(In case anyone was curious. Apollo: 8 of swords, Hermes: 3 of Cups, Dionysus: The Moon)

Person: Why do you still watch SpongeBob and Shrek aren't those movies for kids?

Me: *devoting them to Hermes*

Devotional idea

The gods are often associated with certain animals. So why not make a devotional act watching a documentary about that animal or their habitat?

Seriously, there's a documentary for everything it won't be hard to find.

Hermes has possessed me and now I'm in the mood to buy some weird shit off Amazon.

I know I change it up every month but omg my altar might actually be complete.

The addition if the mini busts really make me happy.

Some artists I devote to my deities:

Apollo ☀️🌻

Hermes 🦅✉️

Dionysus 🎭🍷

I'd love to hear what you have on your own playlist as well.

Y'all ever feel a strong Hermes presence when you play Minecraft cause I do.

My altar update since adding Hermes. Also yes my Yule Dec is already out. In order of canon age Apollo, Hermes, Dionysus.

My new addition of Hermes has been pretty good he's been fun to have around.

I found out that Apollo likes spacemen and Hermes likes funky little mini figures and shares my love for fruity tea.

Still planning to get figures of them and frames for those photos one day.

Any good offerings for Hermes?

I know he likes coffee and strawberries but is there anything else that he would appreciate?

Btw what movies does he like? (aside from Shrek)

Ok so i've given Hermes a space on my altar next to my bookshelf, made him a nice playlist, and gave him an offering. I asked Hermes what he wants for his first offering and I heard a voice shout coffee followed by giggling.

It was great to hear from him so soon but i'm an awful barista and I hate coffee. Still things feel more complete now as the Chaotic Good Trio.
