This is my spiritual sideblog. Here I talk about paganism, witchcraft, and I also shitpost about anything vaguely pertaining to those. I also occasionally talk about language/linguistics on here.
I do not respond to/post fundraisers. I also [likely] will not respond to DM's, especially if we have not interacted much before. However, feel free to say hi in my inbox :)
Bigotry of any kind is ridiculous and will not be tolerated. This is not an 18+ only space, however, I ask that minors do not DM me, and be warned that mature topics may be posted.
There are likely untagged trigger or content warnings. Beware.

#c(r)ampus - Any post made about college, student, or general adult life, including any post made on academics/linguistics/anthropology or culture, even in the spiritual sense. Also for any research posts.

Faust is back for the 5th time! If you want to use the flag of your choice as an avatar, they're under the cut. They're free to use as long as it's for personal use only.
It's hard to post intentionally bad writing without commenters proclaiming "oh but I feel bad! I love this!" Perfectly bad art is as rare a feat as perfectly good art. Even the most anonymous mediocrity definitionally will have its fans.
Enjoying bad art is neither virtuous nor unvirtuous because enjoyment is passive. It is barely a choice. I do, however, think that incuriosity is shameful. Taste, as in the ability to understand, diagnose, and articulate, the artistic choices that make up a work, is the vehicle for understanding and producing art. Taste can only be cultivated by reflecting upon a broad field of art, peak to dogshit. Because of this, the cultivation of Taste is one of my favorite parts of being alive.
If you've only ever watched marvel movies, of course they are your favorite movies. Your love of marvel movies means little. However, if you have sampled everything the world of cinema has to offer, have watched every single movie dogshit to peak, and marvel movies are still your favorite, that is meaningful. You probably have some very interesting things to say about movies. Even though I will probably disagree with them.
Enjoy dogshit to your heart's content. But reflect articulate that enjoyment; because this cultivates Taste.

no more divine feminine/masculine as repackaged gender roles, no more crystals to cure cancer, no more higher self instead of looking at yourself, no more starseeds, no more fear mongering around protection magic, no more calling toxicity "energy vampirism", no more applying new age terms to folk practices, no more anthropomorphizing spirits, no more
From The Book of Chivalry of Geoffroi de Charny (~1350), complaining about Knights These Days
And they are dressed in such an indecent way that that which everyone ought to be most ashamed to show is what they show all the time to those who want to look, for they cannot refrain from showing their backsides to whoever wants to see them.
What is more, it is not enough for them to be as God made them; they are not content with themselves as they are, but they gird themselves up and so rein themselves in round the middle of their bodies that they seek to deny the existence of the stomachs which God has given them: they want to pretend that they have not and never have had one, and everyone knows that the opposite is true.
text: [ “Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing an essay, writing a eulogy, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we can’t do things we’ve been doing for 5000 years.” ]
Those who think that wisdom and whimsy are mutually exclusive have neither. It's vitally important to do the right thing when the consequences are dire, and to do a whole bunch of utterly frivolous silly dumb shit when it doesn't matter what you do.

My newest stitching is a love letter and devotion to the elderflower. I haven’t finished anything in awhile (which is not abnormal for me as I stitch my pieces around my devotional calendar during the time the spirit is most seasonally active, sometimes setting it down as the season ends and finishing the following year during the same season), but I really want to feel the sense of accomplishment that comes from finishing something. So I’m taking time from my roosters to stitch a quick amulet bag to contain my letniční (zelené svátky)květy bezu/Pentecostal (green holidays) elderflowers.
I am using a Moravian embroidery pattern that made me think both of the umbels of an elderflower and the eight-pointed star (mother’s star) in slavic folk embroidery as a nod to the “elder mother” who resides in the tree in some traditions (though in others it is the devil!). These intricate versions of the eight pointed star are also a common motif in my devotional embroidery as a symbol of the wheel of the year.
In Slavic folk embroidery flower patterns are not meant to be realistic. I will go more into my color choices and thoughts about this pattern as I stitch over the next few days. Everything has meaning. Some of it may not be what was intended by the person who did the original design, but as usual I start with something concrete from the culture of my ancestors and as a reconstructionist daughter of diaspora rely on my allies and upg to make something personal.
