#malefic

based on my original recipe for stardust powder, this recipe is meant to be used for baneful acts of magic such as curses and hexes.

ingredients:

sea salt

black glitter (environmentally friendly, of course)

wormwood - to cause strife and misfortune to a target

small jar

instructions:

combine the ingredients and grind together using a mortar and pestle 

add the mixture to a small jar and seal

leave in the path of starlight to charge overnight

use in spell jars, poppets, or other magical rituals

warning: handle wormwood with care - do not sprinkle on the ground where pets or small children may have access to it, and if you decide to burn this powder in any way, do so outside where it’s well ventilated.

xasthurposting bc i’m obsessed with him

Today, if you haven’t paid attention yet, I want you to pull out your chart and see whether you have a day or night chart. This will really help you understand not only yourself and why you are the way you are, but also your life.

in a day chart, the diurnal planets are going to be more influential, whether you want it or not. Think: Sun, Jupiter and Saturn. the power of the moon, Venus and mars is less potent, unless perhaps one of them is your chart ruler.

in a night chart, it is the nocturnal planets that have the upper hand: the moon, Venus and mars. The sun, Saturn and Jupiter not as much, (again unless one of them is your chart ruler)

the reason why I think this is so important to address is because, it can really help you understand a thing or two about yourself, or your loved one. I’ve seen these two charts manifest in completely different ways, which is really interesting:

one out of many examples:

my mother and I both share a Saturn in the 6th house. however, she has a day chart whereas I have a night chart. You already see where this is going

Her Saturn in the 6th house played out much more apparently than mine, as it showed up in her physical and perhaps even mental health. (this is not an age thing either, this problem has been an ongoing issue since her younger years).

my Saturn in the 6th house manifested completely differently and less potently for sure, since I have a night chart, therefore Saturn as a malefic isn’t as powerful. my Saturn is also not terribly placed (+ it’s my chart ruler and my amk). This is also a matter of aspects surely, but the concept of day and night charts also plays into it majorly.

! However, don’t think that just because you have a night chart, Saturn can’t have shit on you baby, no

It simply means that mars is your dominant malefic. take a look at your mars, what house it’s in, its aspects.

I have an ashlesha mars in the 7th house, conjunct mercury for example. that’s a conversation for another time (not as bad as you think, promise), so maybe my Saturn doesn’t do a lot of damage but I have to keep an eye out for my mars to not crash me out (dramatic way of putting this quite frankly, but yeah.)

In a day chart, your benefic, the planet you’ll profit from the most, will be Jupiter, watch out for the house its in, even the nakshatra, its aspects

In a night chart, look at Venus to understand your benefits (house,nakshatra,aspects), it will explain a lot of things.

Ex.: my mother has a jupiter in the 7th house, she got lucky in her second marriage, got married to a successful foreigner blablabla which is all I’ll say. Me on the contrary, with my Jupiter in the 8th house I can’t complain either you know but my jupiter isn’t THAT strong. it came through a lot of the times in my life, when I needed it, but it was always a “last resort” kinda situation. what I mean, is jupiter isn’t very present in my day to day life as a benefic, I don’t profit from it regularly. but only when it “truly matters”. it’s just watching out for my ass kinda.

however my 5th house rohini Venus, is much more expressive and present. I benefit from my Venus placement regularly and in my day to day life. It is very present and puissant.

think of Jupiter in a night chart as the guard outside your house who watches out for robbers, you don’t see him much he does his job though. Venus, think of her as your partner who is with you daily in the house and outside, and pampers you based on what house and nakshatra she’s in.

In a day chart, logically, Venus is gonna be the guard outside that comes through when she hits the fan from time to time, but it is jupiter who you truly spend time with and benefit from.

Interesting, right?

Last but not least

if you have a day chart, then chances are your sun sign resonates more with you. In case of a night chart, you’ll act more like your moon sign.

My mother is a purva bhadrapada sun, her shatabhisha moon is recessive.

I’m a punarvasu sun, rohini moon. Rohini is far more dominant, and people tend to guess my moon sigh rather than my sun sign.

Jason Todd & Cassandra Cain? (Specifically as a duo. Anything I see with both of them in it either they don't interact or Cass hates Jason just "bc he's a killer". Where's the depth.)

Also, Ma'alefa'ak?

I don't read very much batfam, but I'll try my best, anon!!

- I think Jason's relationship is purely work-related like with most of the bats

- I do think that they probably have more to talk about, being that Cassandra and Jason were trained in similar ways but by different people

- they'd probably disagree on a deeper moral level, but they often disagree with several of the other batfam members morally

- while their relationship is based purely on their working together, they'll share the occasional comfortable silence or Batburger meal after a long mission

- they're both quite stubborn, so they won't really open up, but they have a quiet, mutual understanding of the other

- on the field, Cass and Jason play off each other very well based on their training experience

- Jason is slightly surprised, but stopped being truly shocked at Bruce's successors after Titan's Tower

- Cassandra might just bring that back though because... did Bruce actually teach her that?

- deeply, Jason thinks of Cass as a strong hero and a probably candidate for Bruce to hand over the Bat mantle... not that he cares, or anything

- deeply, Cass thinks of Jason as an admirable fighter and a strong-willed person, even if they disagree morally. she out of all the others understands anger, and she does not judge his, even if she disagrees with how he handles it

I'm going in blind with this guy but I'll try my best!

- on the wiki it says that he's a theologian, I think it would be interesting for him to try to learn about Earth religions and how it differs from Martian religion

- he is an Eobard Thawne level hater

- probably takes pride in that fact, I get a very self-centered vibe

- he seems more skilled mentally rather than physically, so he likely relies on his smarts

- dude just seemed jealous ngl, though this has definitely inspired me to read more Martian Manhunter comics
