Understanding Love

Understanding love

love

The ancient Greeks had a much broader and more complex view of love than most of us have today. For them, love was not just an emotion, but rather a set of different types of feelings and relationships. Here are some types of love researched by me:

eros love It’s the kind of relationship we often associate with the word “love.” This type is characterized by romance, passion and desire.

love philautia It is self-love, based on respect and self-worth. It is the type of love that allows us to take care of our mental and emotional health, prioritizing our well-being.

philia love It is brotherly love, based on friendship and camaraderie. It's the kind of love that arises between close friends, co-workers and family.

love storge It is family love, marked by affection and dedication to family members. It is the type of love that develops from blood ties and daily coexistence.

pragma love It is a love based on dedication to the greater good. it is practical and lasting love, based on compatibility and building a solid relationship over time. It is the type of love that develops from daily interaction and coexistence.

ágape love It is the universal meaning of love that we all aspire to feel. It is selfless, selfless and unconditional love. It is the type of love that seeks the well-being of others, without expecting anything in return. Also associated with divine love

love mania It is obsessive and possessive love, characterized by jealousy and insecurity. It is the type of love that can be harmful, as it suffocates and controls the other person.

love xênia In ancient Greece, hospitality was a common and respected practice. The word xenia refers to the relationship established between host and host.

ludus love It is playful and playful love, characterized by lightness and fun. It is the type of love that manifests itself in more relaxed and uncommitted relationships.

has anyone else ever had a fanfic that just… haunts them? like it’s been months and maybe even years since you read it, but it just lingers with you and you can never truly leave behind the imprint it made on you? and maybe it’s just a single line, one sentence that you can’t shake off, that takes up residence in your mind and stays there, feeding into your psyche and subtly influencing your brainspace and maybe even your writing or other works?

How to get back into your practice after a burnout

Alot of times in our practices, we often just straight up forget. Not going to lie to you I didn't practice much until I got out of my mom's home...which was one year ago. And I also have a theory that since paganism isnt dogmatic and is meant to be ran by a community we fall out really easy, it's natural, paganism is different now. But anyways here is chaos's master guide on how to put on your big girl panties and get back the work.

(disclaimer: just because these things worked for me doesn't mean it's going to work for everyone else, this post is completely upg. I'm just offering advice.)

Starting out small

What never stuck to me is those post that are like: "stir your intentions into your coffee, light incense, pray" because like yeah thats a good way to start off I really dont think itll set in our brains to do this everyday. Instead what I recommend is finding days to practice and sticking to that day. Find a day where you useally do nothing and dedicate it to getting back into your practice.

You could use this day to research on all the things you forgotten (been there)

Or you could just leave offerings out for your deities and call it a day

I think if you uphold a certain schedule your mind will get into the habit of "oh today's witch day, time to do witchcraft" this is basic psychology, and I promise it works 😭😭

Deity work and getting back into it

Little reminder: your gods are not mad at you. They do not hate you. They love you.

I have had so many falling outs with deities because I just couldn't uphold a schedule. Hekate being one of them. Hekate really showed me the way once I moved out of my mother's house, and after so many ins and outs of my worship to her, she still showed me love and compassion. I promise your gods will do the same. They understand our mortal lives more then you comprehend. After all, this is their earth.

Stuff you can do to get back into worship with your deities:

- offerings, big or small

- dedicate days to them, in my schedule Hekate is worshipped on Monday, and Aphrodite on Friday.

- research ways to connect with them more

- don't make big promises that you will get back into your practice and never fall out again, thats just putting yourself in more responsibility, your gods will now expect that responsibility. I've done this before and I definitely got side eyed by Hekate 😭😭

I recommend reading over these lovely post by @/khaire-traveler

Subtle deity worship

I honestly used this alot to get back into worship with my deities 😭😭 these posts go into worship you could do for deities while you are either hiding your practice or just want to do something for your gods. Really helpful post 10/10.

Getting back into witchcraft

I know I kind of went over this already, but I feel like there needs to be some small steps to getting back into witchcraft before we get to rituals, spells and stuff of that sort.

To get back into witchcraft, I recommend meditating, either by yourself or with your deities. Meditation allows you to just focus on the present and let go of all your stresses. I like to meditate with my deities because I get visions from them easily this way, it's easier for me to communicate.

From there you can do research on the basics of witchcraft and work your way up to rituals and spell work... hopefully all of this makes sense

Anyways yeah that's all the advice I have to getting back into your practice, if I have anything else to add I'll reblog this and add more. But yeah! I really hopes this helps at least someone lol.
