What would Loki do?

Tie his balls to a goat, slap that bitch on the ass, and let it drag him around until someone laughs, probably.

Learning about Christianity from a scholarly perspective including its origins, the development of its belief system, and relationship to magic

and

2. Learning about Norse spirituality and concepts like orlog, wyrd, and the four part self.

NGL I have the weirdest relationship with Christianity that I can't really... explain or put into words. Maybe it's trauma and reclamation, maybe it's needing an authority figure to rebel against, maybe it's just goddamn loving the shit out of Catholic aesthetics. I don't know. I'm fascinated by it. I'm drawn to the imagery of devils, demons, and the independence of fallen angels. Lucifer calls to me on a spiritual level.

I'm the kind of person who claims the title of Witch out of a desire to face God and walk backwards into Hell. I am not evil; I do my best to poor goodness into the world whenever I can. But if God, as I understand it, demands blind adoration and obedience, then I will align myself with evil if it means remaining an independent thinker.

That said, I really, really jive with the concepts of orlog and hamingja, of the wyrd, and the idea that shapeshifting may not happen on a physical level without like. Medical intervention. But it can happen on a spiritual level that is recognizable even to those outside your Self. There's so much that resonates with me that it's like. There's a lot of concepts I already have as a part of my world view, and those that I don't make sense and incorporating them into my life would be a positive change.

@objectspod Behold, CHERYL, my haunted ramen. I drew the activation sigil twice because I wasn't sure the first one was good enough >_>

This was a mistake. Oof, the peppermint!

It was. Quite literally. Across the street.
