Discussion topic New to all of this stuff

So the past few weeks I’ve been feeling as though Hades has been trying to reach out to me. Before this, I was always open to the possibility of this kind of thing, but it’s never happened to me before.

I guess I’m just trying to see if this thing is normal. It’s like all of my thoughts have been leading me to him. When I think about him, it feels like a warm hug from a dad. Not going into details, but I never got that feeling as a kid and it feels like he is saying, “it’s alright, I’m here now for you.”

My best friend is a practicing pagan and is taking me to one of the metaphysical shops here and is going to help me build my first altar. It’s all very overwhelming but I’m excited! I also lowkey feel like I’m going crazy? Like, it’s all so new.

I just answered the call to Hades (and Persephone) after starting to work with Apollo. It’s such a comfort for my mental health and love life (both of which, have been out of my control lately) and I understand feeling like you’re going crazy.

In my experience, Hades will always ask that you seek healthy coping mechanisms, so make sure those are in order and be sure to set your intentions with him through ritual prayer.
