Deity Work- ✨Relationship
In spirituality/occulitism there is a lot of flase information about deities and thier personalities because most people are surface level thinkers without doing the historical homework.
Chosing your deities/Historical homework- A lot of new age practitioners will choose deities for revenge, ego boost ,superficial reasons, or just to show off because they think they know everything (one who thinks knows all knows nothing). Make sure to research where the deities come from ( birth location, race, gender ,class, etc) , looks at thay deities like your finding your husband/wife. you have to do a background check. ✔️. All deities may not match with your personality, skill level, or lifestyle. EX. A lot of women want to work with erzulie freda but dont have good hygiene, dont have a self care routine, live in a dirty filthy place and dont believe in give and take. That spirt is very bougie and wants her offerings if not she can mess up your life. Doing the Historical research on each deities you want to work with is very important. Certain deities will never have a relationship with certain people because of race or even gender. EX. sehkmet works with women majority of the time , men can work with her but if you have a past of abusing women she may turn on that gender very quickly. she may not even answer to thats person request. some deties aren't even the original form because of renaming, colonization, modern reclassification. you have to make sure that deity is that deity.
Skill level and responsibility- Deties have hierarchies and different levels of frequencies. Being honest and matching at your skill level will make you a better student/spiritualist. Ex Santa Muerta or Erzulie ge rouge isnt beginners friendly. Those particular energies have a very heavy force when conjouring them because of thier Historical origin. ONe came from the Aztec empire and the other came from warriors of the Benin 🇧🇯 tribes. If your spiritually weak and not grounded those forces can consume you and it can turn into self destruction. Sometimes you can embody the dark shadow side of those spirits to the point where you can harm others because you're not balanced. WORK AT YOUR SKILL LEVEL AND TAKE YOUR TIME.
Ego/ deity NARCISSISM- THE EGO THE EGO THE EGO ESPECIALLY ON TIKTOK. LOL. omg I work with heteake i am so powerful so I can go around treating ppl like crap because I work with a deity so I am untouchable......pause. just because you work with a certain deity it doesnt mean automatic protection especially when your waging unessasary wars with other people because of flase sense of power. some people have higher spiritual ranking and sometimes those deities will choose that person that your working against because thier person heart/ spirit is soild or they didn't do anything. Thier are certain situation where your team can turn on you. The spiritual world isnt bias it's very black and white and its not fake. Check the ego check the cliques cause a lot of people love to work in coven against ppl and that one person can be your karma.one taking out a karmic group lol.
Do your homework, be leveled headed and dont bit off more than you can chew. some deties dont play and if you dont hold your end of the bargin they can find your world upside down... OK 👋 bye
When engaging with deities in your spiritual practice, it's crucial to go beyond surface-level knowledge and dive deep into their origins and cultural significance. Deities come from specific historical contexts, with unique traits that reflect their culture, gender, race, and societal roles. Understanding these aspects helps form a genuine and respectful relationship rather than a superficial connection. For example, Erzulie Freda is a nuanced spirit associated with love, beauty, and luxury. She demands respect and reciprocation; those who neglect self-care or live in disorder may find their connections strained or even harmful. Similarly, Sekhmet, primarily working with women, can respond negatively to men who have histories of abuse. These examples underscore that some deities operate within strict energetic or moral boundaries tied to their cultural origins. Another key factor is your own spiritual skill level and grounding. Energies like Santa Muerte or Erzulie Ge Rouge carry heavy historical and spiritual forces originating from powerful cultures like the Aztec empire and Benin tribes. Such energies require practitioners to be mature, balanced, and well-grounded to avoid being overwhelmed or manifesting the darker shadows of these spirits, which can lead to self-destruction or harm to others. Avoid letting ego drive your spiritual interactions—this is especially important in today's digital age where platforms like TikTok often spotlight spiritual bravado. Claiming power from a deity without humility or responsibility can backfire, distort your practice, or exacerbate conflicts with others. Remember, divine forces do not side arbitrarily but respond to the strength and purity of one’s heart and actions. Finally, view your relationship with any deity as a partnership based on respect, knowledge, and responsibility—much like choosing a lifelong partner. Do your homework thoroughly, stay humble, and proceed thoughtfully. This approach not only honors the deities’ histories and powers but also safeguards your spiritual wellbeing and growth.
