5 Signs You’re Ready to Start Working with a Deity

September 25, 2024

Feeling drawn toward working with deities but not sure if you’re ready to dive in? It can feel like a big step, but there are some clear signs that you’re prepared to start this new part of your spiritual journey.

There is no easy way to know if deity work is right for you, but it isn’t as scary and “advanced” as you might hear. Anyone can work with deities, as long as they’re mentally ready.

Here are five ways to know you’re ready to work with a deity.

5. You Keep Noticing Symbols Everywhere

One of the biggest signs you’re ready to work with a deity is when you start seeing specific symbols or themes repeatedly in your life. Whether it’s keys, torches, snakes, or something else that’s linked to a particular deity, these are more than just coincidences—they’re nudges from the divine. It’s a way for the deity to get your attention and show that they’re open to building a connection with you.

For example, I remember a time when I had gotten away from deity work. Regular life had taken over. Suddenly, I was seeing snakes everywhere. I actually saw three snakes in one day! When a snake literally slithered across the path while I was walking, I realized this was a message. I got back into deity work with Lilith and didn’t see another snake.

These signs can pop up in dreams, on social media, or even during your daily routine. If you’re spotting these symbols everywhere, it’s time to consider that a deity may be calling you.

4. You Feel Drawn to a Specific Deity’s Energy

Have you been feeling a strong connection to a particular god or goddess lately? Maybe you’ve always felt intrigued by Hecate’s power over crossroads, or you’ve been reading about Lilith and can’t stop thinking about her fierce independence. If you’re drawn to their stories, characteristics, or symbols, it could be a sign that you’re ready to explore a deeper relationship.

When you feel a pull toward a specific deity, it often means that their energy resonates with what’s happening in your life right now. Maybe they have something to teach you, or perhaps their archetype is already a part of who you are.

Whatever your intuition is telling you, follow it. You aren’t feeling pulled for no reason!

3. You’re Craving Deeper Spirituality

Working with a deity takes your spirituality to a deeper level. If you’re feeling like the usual rituals and spells aren’t enough, or you’re being pulled toward something bigger and more transformative, it might be time to start deity work.

This kind of work isn’t just about asking for favors. It’s about building a real relationship with a deity that helps you navigate life’s challenges. If your spiritual practice feels a little disconnected, working with a deity can bring that deeper meaning you’re searching for.

Take Hecate, for example. Working with her isn’t just about asking for protection at a crossroads—it’s about following her into the darker parts of yourself, facing your fears, and finding strength in places you didn’t even know existed. Or consider Aphrodite. She’s not just about love spells—she helps you explore your own self-love, how you connect with beauty, and how you attract (or block) love in your life.

Every deity shines a light on different areas of your life, revealing the parts of yourself that align with their energy. They help you face and heal parts of your inner world that you’ve maybe ignored or hidden away.

2. You’re Already Doing Shadow Work or Personal Growth

Deity work often ties in closely with inner work, like shadow work, self-discovery, or healing. If you’re already in the process of confronting your fears, healing past traumas, or trying to grow into a new version of yourself, you’re in the perfect place to invite a deity into your life.

Deities can act as guides through your personal transformation. They can help you navigate the darker parts of yourself, while also showing you how to unlock your full potential.

1. You Feel an Intuitive Pull Toward Deity Work

Sometimes, you just know you’re ready. If your intuition is nudging you toward working with a deity, trust that feeling. Deity work is often deeply intuitive, and that first step of listening to your inner voice can lead to a profound spiritual journey.

If you’re feeling that inner pull but aren’t sure where to start, you’re definitely not alone. Many people feel ready but need some guidance on how to make that connection.
