Solar Radiance

I'm not saying my therapist is gonna get an earful, but I am not saying he isn't either.

Like, I can vent, but my dad told me venting doesn't solve anything so we keeping it inside for now. Just know the dark evil spirits clawing at my stomach begging me to turn into an evil bitch.

Awh the new moon was 'exact' yesterday on a Monday 😭 ugh planetary day opportunity missed

Ikr? I only realized this morning. I know my mom raised me to believe that it was three days before and after that were also potent but come on? New Moon? Monday?

I find that, as a magician who seems to specialize in love spells for my friends, that people don't actually want love. They want an ideal, an image of a perfect relationship that gets pushed on social media. They want a lover they can fold up and put away when it inconveniences them. For the most part, I've found, people are deathly scared of both being seen, but also of being ignored. They want to he seen, to be felt and supported but struggle with the strings tied with it. So when my friend comes to me for a love spell, I end up having to sit her down and bestow my ancient wisdom gained from being a fag in hook up culture and also just a person who does love magic...

Time to invoke that King Solomon energyyyyy

And how fortuitous, I already have an invocation on hand already 🫰🏾😌

Tbh germ theory DOES sound crazy. Like if you told a regency-era nobleman that tiny creatures lived on the surface of everything and THAT’S what causes consumption, they’d be like “ah, I see you are a lunatic. Would you reside in my hermitage? Rantings and ravings do so amuse my guests”

But if you told a Medieval person this they would probably go "Ah, so when the miasma settles on surfaces it gains evil life. I understand."

Yeah, actually, it would probably be pretty easy to explain germ theory to a Medieval person as tiny evil spirits that live on everything, but they can be purified by soap and water, or by alcohol, because that is why God has granted us those things. And because they can float in the air, if you cough or sneeze after they have infested you, that can cause them to infest others. And when you are sick, the angels God has deputized to defend the bodies of His beloved children are at war with the evil spirits, and, sadly, sometimes they lose, but the best way to help your angels win their battle is to rest, drink plenty (this would probably be small beer in this time period, not water, because the water was also infested), stay clean, and for the sake of God do not allow anyone to let your blood, for the angels need that blood in their war against the evil spirits. Bloodletting is good for some types of illnesses but not the kinds caused by the tiny evil spirits.

The craziest thing? is that we'd probably have to go back to medieval speak/think to get everyone back on the "let's freely use the modern scientific discoveries to keep from dying like a medieval peasant" train

My book list... it's been 84 years 😮‍💨 🚬
