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.
#OLD POST- REPOST - Any post made on my previous blog that has been reposted or reblogged here. May not make sense in this blog's chronology.

#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.
#IMPORTANT - Any post I find important in any way (exact meaning of this tag is fluid).
#review - Any review I post. Can be about books/sources/articles/etc. People are welcome to request a review on free/library/articles- anything I do not require a physical copy to use. This may change in future.

Me: Norse mythology has no real canon. It was shared verbally and so severely fucked with when it was finally written down. Really there is no right or wrong and all versions and interpretations are mostly valid. The myths we have now might be bs, we don't know, so fuck it!
Also me when there's a slight variation or something is off in an adaptation: no, that's not right. This feels like a crime to read, fix it now.

legit the best advice i can give you: feed your friends
any time someone is in any kind of crisis or upheaval, offer to feed them. tell them they don't have to choose what it is if they can't make decisions, just ask about allergies and preferences and tell them you're just gonna make food happen at their house.
friend having a baby? delivery gift certificate to order food to the hospital after the kid shows up.
someone's relative passes away? offer to make them dinner.
buddy gets laid off? ask if you can order them lunch.
pal stuck in a depressive episode? offer to drive them to fucking mcdonalds, if that's what they want.
people in crisis are tired and sad and angry and the last thing most of them are doing is thinking about feeding themselves. so if you have the ability or time or money, providing that is always, always a good move.
legit i do this all the time, and it is 100% always appreciated. i have taught all my friends that when something happens, we feed each other. it makes people feel extremely cared for, and I cannot recommend it enough.
Right after I reblogged this I found out a friends’ mom was hospitalized — this is such a good reminder
If you can, provide disposable plates/utensils and save them from doing dishes — when my husband was diagnosed with cancer, bulk paper products were our most appreciated gift
reading about the participation of children in rituals as a form of play in ancient greece and came across an incredibly charming story from julius pollux's onomasticon where a flood prevented the adults from reaching a sanctuary to sacrifice a ram to heracles, and the children solved the problem by....sticking a bunch of sticks in an apple to give it "legs" and "horns" and offering it as a sacrifice instead. it's such a charming thought and i can perfectly picture kids these days also pretending at sacrificing an apple "goat" at recess

not to be a hedonist but. pleasure IS the whole point, my loves. we are made for pleasure. humans have not survived out of spite or sheer grit or simply to make more humans. we live for pleasure. the pleasure of licking the last delicious crumbs off your fingers and feeling sunlight on your skin and massaging a loved one's shoulders. we're made to fill our bellies with delicious food, to nap in soft grass, to touch each other in joy and comfort.
there is no shame or guilt in our bodies doing what they were made to do. and we are made for pleasure.
my heart goes out to disabled witches with jobs and commutes and responsibilities that suck their energy out and leave them with little energy for their practice
It's not fair that we have to give up so much and I love you and I am you and I'm sorry
Guys… please stop replying with “please don’t bury it it’s bad for the environment” etc etc.
NO.
Don’t assume.
Don’t assume that burying automatically means straight in the earth, or not on one’s property. It could mean buried in a flower pot, in a box in a garden bed, wrapped in protective material and buried under a rose bush etc.

Joy Sullivan, from Instructions for Traveling West: Poems; “Of Wildflowers”
[Text ID: “When I was young, I heard / So much about being / a child/woman/man of God / but then I grew up and all / I ever wanted / was to be of wildflowers, / of willow, toad, and bone. / of swallowtails, sow thistle / and cedar, of birds.”]
......suddenly struck by the idea for a piece of worldbuilding of "fae don't like iron bc it is the most stable element*"
*as in elements higher you can extract energy via fission and lower you can extract energy via fusion but iron itself there is no excess binding energy to extract at all
