I'm having a bad time right now and while i do have an altar set up, i'm worried maybe it's a little messy or that i'm gifting him the wrong things. Sometimes I'm like a little crow and I like to pick up shiny things or things that I think he'd like. I've felt very lost lately and I hope I haven't done something wrong or I'd like to just ask for a little peace of mind, but I don't want to be needy/selfish about it.

So. I'm in a very upsetting situation. I found an abandoned animal baby, and was not able to give him a proper burial. I feel so much guilt. If I were an adult, I would have taken him home and given him a proper burial. How do you guys deal with feelings like this? Since, being at least some of us work with Hades (idk everyone circumstance), we work and are around death and feel it deeper (me at least.) I did my usual prayer, basically apologizing for not being able to give him a proper burial and hoping he's safe wherever he goes. I'm just so sad that I found him :( and I have a slight feeling of grief? I mean. He's just a baby. Idk.

Sorry if wrong flair. I was reading/asking about my spiritual path with Hades the other night. It was a pretty normal set of questions and curiosities, until I forgot what I was about to ask next. I didn't want to just sit there in awkward silence while trying to remember what I was supposed to ask, so I randomly asked him "Hades, how tall are you???" to fill the space (Yes I eventually remembered my question)

This was intended to be light hearted lol . but I can't say I haven't been curious before

He flew out the 8oS, 8oP rx & another card (I forgot :( I know it was something like "...next question") at me🤣🥲 . Basically "You're restricting me, a god, to some physical meat trap?? What a stupid & mediocre question. Next" I also think I heard something like "I can be 2 or 20 feet. Which one?"

I was cackling at this point because of how unhinged the response was when I interpreted the entire thing. He was so offended; not in a serious/angry way but rather "Why did you even speak the words you spoke" and lowkey stressing out like a middle aged father would (sorry Hades)😭😭😭😭. He seems to be very aware I was joking about it though and not actually trying to restrict him to any physical form, or to intentionally offend him

I had his permission to share this. This was actually so funny & I don't think I can take this seriously 🗿

I'm a bit new to this, so I come here to ask. Are there any specific cleansing rituals I should do before interacting with Hades? If so, what?

​

I was just thinking about how some people place things on his altar for Persephone & got to wondering if anyone ever does the same for Cerberus

In a meditation session today I talked to Hades and Persphone as I am struggling with trusting some of my journey with my current career. I feel like a rootbound plant in a pot too small, and that I am not being heard or considered when it comes to matters of my department that I manage. Hades knows I struggle with that feeling so during meditation today I asked for advice.

One of the things they told me to look into was Orpheus and his story and maybe working with him. I am a creative person by nature and I have refound my love of writing again through Baldurs gate 3 fanfiction, but I've been feeling stuck still. If anyone has any advice or has worked with Orpheus before please let me know. Eurydice is also someone I plan to learn about.

Im having a few problems with the game, some of them I think are just me not knowing how the mechanic works, some of the time I think somethings up with the game. If you have any answers, that would be awesome. First thing is that I’ve unlocked the first four weapons, bow, shield, sword, trident, but for some reason the other few won’t show up like the fists or whatever else. I’ve beaten the game once and gotten bits of titans blood, nothing happens. Second thing is that the prophecy list in my bedroom won’t show up. This is the thing that’s probably just skill issue and me not knowing about how this works because I haven’t payed attention/wanted to for my other 20 hours on the game. Last thing is that I always start with a boon from Demeter, with the same three gifts every single new escape attempt. This annoys me because I really don’t like the selection and I literally have a keepsake equipped where Artemis supposedly would be my starting boon.

I thought I could introduce myself with one of my offerings to King Hades. I’m so happy that I have found this subreddit of fellow followers🖤

Just realized right next to his alter on the same shelf is my paleontology books, and since you can use fossils and rocks as offerings .i guess the books just belong thare.

ill often find screws, nuts, bolts, nails, old railroad nails/stakes, etc in the dirt or on the ground when i leave the house.

i feel pretty certain its a sign from Hades. even as im writing this, it feels like hes saying to me "child, this was a message for you. not them, you. you know what it means. external validations ____...." then its kinda choppy and message doesnt go fully through... but yeah. i feel like its him, but i wanted to hear some peoples opinions.

ive searched online, yet i cant find any information about this being a sign linked to literally any spirit/diety/being etc etc. so i thought id ask here.

i tried to think about why i think its Hades, and my brain says Nico, i think from the Percy Jackson series. Which... truthfully i dont have access to those memories but i think Nico was a son of Hades and could like draw metals and minerals out of the earth as a power or something? idk. im... not very sure of myself, with most things.

i dont want to reach out to Hades and start connecting with him potentially if this isnt related to him. i really do feel its important and a diety i am meant to be doing shadow work with, around grief, death, loss, self hate and shame.

thanks for reading.

i'm brand new here (the subreddit) and i've only been working with hades for a couple days but so far he seems very fatherly (only upset that i smoke 🍃 because im under 21 but tolerates it because i have a medical card and he seems to reach out to the chronically ill a lot) and also a mininalist (he wants tea, money, and vibes) does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations for how to connect further? he doesnt seem to want offerings and i dont know how to adjust to that since i just came from working with eros 💀

Hi, community, I'd like to share this work with you; just finished it today. Hope you like it as much as I do.

Just a story I wished to share, with permission. I won't go into heavy detail, but I've come a surprisingly & proudly far way with Hades for maybe 3 years now, and I'm incredibly glad he's in my life and that I have some form of connection with him. For the past few months, I've finally managed to wear devotional jewelry with a pair of earrings I gave him a while ago. This is something I've never been able to pull off, wearing jewelry for long or consistent amounts of time, but something about the earrings feels right. I've also been doing more devotional acts/offerings/spending more time with Hades as well, I'm not very consistent, but nobody has complained so I'm reassured that the path I'm walking with him is fine the way it is.

Recently, I've updated some of my information over social media where I'm already open about my practice. In my bio on some of these platforms , I was initially going to just add "Hades worshipper" because that's what I believed my relationship with him was like. I was stopped in my tracks right there, and something in my head just screamed to put Devotee

I will admit I wasn't exactly fully educated on what a devotee vs. worshipper was — I am now, don't worry🥲 I know I should've done this research earlier but I always thought the term "devotee" was too 'huge of a commitment' , until I actually looked it up and figured out a meaning that resonated with me the best ... and holy shit it did

I'm pretty sure that was him telling me I was a devotee and urging me to do a quick search & read 😭 He was right

So I put Hades Devotee in the social media platforms I chose to put it on. Immediately when I was done, I got a happyish/applauding feeling — The title itself even seemed comfortable to have in a way. It seemed & felt right. I'm not even fully sure of what even happened, but it was definitely pleasant? I just wanted to share because admittedly, i never thought I'd be a devotee to any god (not meant as an insult or anything, I've just never been too religious and I do have a bit of religious trauma)

My brain is very likely overcomplicating it as if it's a massive thing, I know it's not a huge deal like earning the title of a High Priestess or an Oracle would be, but it certainly is a milestone in yours & a deity's relationship 🥲💞 Atleast it is for me

i already have earrings for the man but another one can't hurt!🫠🥹

long story short, i was cleaning up my altar for hades and persephone when i found that not one but two sewing needles had somehow ended up on the altar. does anyone know of any specific connection between hades and needles, or sewing needles? could it be related to the fates?

The tin is a mini alter/travel alter.

So I blowed out hades candles and I left my room when I came back I felt a strange feeling, directed towards the darkest part of my room(I lite his alter at night in dim light)which is right next to his alter .it felt like something watching me even though it felt silly I called out "hades is that you" nothing happened.i left my room came back and it was gone.what was that.

Hello, nice to meet everyone here, while I mainly focus on being a Lokean Witch, I'm ready to branch out and see if there is anyone that can exchange/bestow knowledge between one another. I'm looking to branch out more or so in the Hellenic part of studies etc. While I work part time with Hades and starting to work my way to Persephone part time, I would love to see if anyone works with Persephone as well and also want to branch out to any Anubis workers as well. I also would love to expand my knowledge on different types of witchcraft as well :) because often times I'm up at odd hours and I wish I had someone to talk to while my wife and my boyfriend are busy/asleep and can't text me. So, I figured I would reach here. I only have Discord to chat on and I hope that won't be a problem for anyone. I'm also from the states, but I'm willing to chat with people international :)

Also, here is something important to know. You don't need permission to send me a inbox message. I would rather you inbox me than me because. I'm a new Reddit user. Therefore I'm massively limited to on how many users I can message daily. It seems I can only message new people with two or three invites every 24 hours. So, please send me a DM instead if you're interested, thanks so much :)

I was doing my first tarot reading (i just got it delivered earlier in the morning+ oracle cards)

I obviously have no idea what i’m doing yet but i asked if it was actually Lord Hades who is guiding me and if what il doing is right

And i don’t think i found the answer from the cards as i pulled so many i don’t really know how to connect them well yet. Then when i finished I saw this.

Either ways i felt like he was pissed cause I questioned him 😢

My little brother always leaves stuff on my altars he’s too young to understand lol I immediately started laughing when I imagined hades in the astral staring at this little plushy and the plushy staring back at him with that little derpy face. 😂 I love you hades!

Not me asking Hades for a sign that he’s still with me & hearing me… & him coming to Fortnite 💀😭😂 idk I took it as a sign as “uh YEAH IM HERE ! Hel..friking.lo!” Idk thought I’d share 😂

Gonna get it framed and use it at my altar :)

This is currently my alter for hades and I have a few more items on the way (just things to honor him and his wife, Persephone). I’m a new follower and would love to hear advice!

I was asking hades if he liked his alter, and he said he wanted more, I asked what and I got the chariot. (Control) is this king hades?

Hey! So, I just started to worship hades and I have so many questions.

1. Will he actually talk to you? Like show up?

2.How do I tell if he’s reaching out?

3.how do I ask to work with him? How do I know if he says yes?

4.what things should I put on his alter?

1 is the biggest one I have. I keep seeing people who like, talk to him, or other gods, and I’m confused. Thanks!

Edit: Thankyou so much!! I really appreciate all the answers I’m getting.
