My memory is an odd thing. \u00a0There are certain things I can remember so very well, like random comments made on Facebook by people I haven\u2019t spoken to in years \u2013 completely useless, thank you so much brain. \u00a0But things I really want to remember, such as hymns for my rituals or what on earth all of the epithets of Hekate translate to in English \u2013 no such luck. \u00a0I suppose I should be glad I can remember my kids names\u2026 most of the time.<\/p>\n

I decided recently, given my non-active status, that I could spend some time actually trying to memorise certain things of import to my religion. \u00a0My favourite hymns, which I say frequently but never remember. \u00a0Those epithets of Hekate. \u00a0And other things like that. \u00a0One way I have done that is to create some wallpapers for my laptops desktop, containing the things I want to remember and relevant accompanying image.<\/p>\n

I thought I might share some of them with you (all public domain and up to cc 3.0 images). \u00a0These are shrunk down to fit Patheos\u2019 layout \u2013 but if you right click and open image in new window, you can save them as full size if you want. \u00a0They are quite large for the most part, so can be used on most screens using the \u201cfit\u201d function \u2013 otherwise, just resize them.<\/p>\n

Using multiple images of the Orphic Hymn to Hekate (can\u2019t share them all because of copyright)\u00a0I have actually finally been able to memorise it in full\u00a0and it only took me a few days \u2013 I silently read the hymn every time it showed on my lockscreen and\/or desktop. \u00a0I\u2019m pretty happy about it, but still read it every time it shows, as it is my favourite hymn. And I want it dug right down deep into this ridiculous memory of mine!<\/p>\n

You could potentially create wallpapers for anything you want to remember, or want easy access to. \u00a0Pagan and witchy correspondences for example would work well, as in the herbs, trees, animal symbolism, colours, etc. \u00a0Zodiac information, moon phase meanings\/information. \u00a0I guess it\u2019s really limitless \u2013 but it helps if you happen to have your desktop showing a lot (or use them as part of a slideshow screensaver, or lockscreen). \u00a0I hope you enjoy the ones I have shared, are at least have gained a bit of inspiration from this post to create your own!<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
