Okay, oKAy, hear me out:

If the next mystery skulls animated episode is using When I'm With You as some of us are speculating, I have a THEORY.

Arthur notices something that makes him remember what happened at the cave. He gets furious and to everyone else's surprise (since he's a self-proclaimed "spineless coward") starts going after whatever it is he notices, perhaps the bleeding eye? Maybe he even picks up his uncle's shotgun since Lance is out cold. He's set on making things right and not letting history repeat itself. Like in the song, "Wish I could turn back time / Wish I could rewind life" and then, "I know I fucked this up / I'm gonna make it right."

So, what's everyone else doing? Lance is probably out cold for most of it lol. Vivi sets her sights on Shiromori's tree corpse and runs in the direction of the heart she home-runned.

As for Lewis? He's mildly freaked out that Arthur is practically running to his death. I'm imagining a scene where Arthur climbed on Murder Mystery's back and gets flung off. Lewis catches him. Arthur points out the problem and just like Arthur, Lewis unintentionally fucked up by going after him and wants to make things right.

So my biggest theory is this: Arthur lets Lewis possess him so they can fight together, as a twist on the song's "'Cause when I'm with you... / I'm never giving up" and "you got me swimmin' 'round my head."

Meanwhile, Vivi replants Shiromori's heart, bringing her back to life. At first Shiromori wants to kill Vivi again until Vivi points out what happened to Mystery. So, Shiromori joins the team in trying to unpossess Mystery.

Not sure where it'll go from there, but this is what I'm thinking right now and will be thinking for the next two years.

[aggressivelynicegamewitch]

I know this isn't the kind of blog for this but I'm sTill on my shit okay now I realized one more thing:

All the MSA videos are 4 to almost 6 minutes with The Future being the longest thus far. We've been told this will be the last video in the arc, so I'm betting it'll be at least 5 minutes, but When I'm With You is only 4 minutes long...so either there'll be some music-less voice acting (unlikely, though we do know there will be some voice acting in general) or they will be using another song. My bets are on the titular song of the album used for most the videos: Forever.

Not only would this be thematically perfect to wrap up with, but if we're going with the hope of the team being back together then there's a repeated line, "My lovers / My Team / And even in between / I hear the future its calling me". It also calls out the possibility of future arcs, which has also has been mentioned as being possible.

No doubt there'll have to be some driving into the distance onto their next adventure at the end. This would also be a good song for some polyam lewvithur please mystery ben.

Anyway, this has been my second TedTalk thanks for listening to my bullshit. I should probably actually go do my job that I get paid for now.

A techno witch trick I just thought of was generating QR codes as sigils! This one is generated from the text "I love myself."

[aggressivelynicegamewitch]

Just want to give a huge shout-out to @hellboundwitch for the amazing reading they gave me!! I got the witchsona/coven combo because they sounded cool and just. Wow. It was super detailed and resonated with me a lot. It was plainly obvious how much care was put into it. It was long too, like practically an essay!

Some fun little bits from it:

In the coven reading, there was talk of weaving fate, possibly in regards to actual weaving or knot magic. One day before I read the reading I went out to get crochet supplies to try my hand at it.

Love magic was stated as a one of the types of magic I could be good at in the witchsona reading. Know what I was looking at literal hours before? Self-love bath salts.

There was plenty more, but again, they were both like whole essays. I just found these tidbits especially relevant and well-timed. Please go get a reading from them! It was really awesome!

Simple Text Message Wish Spell

Whoo! Another spell that allows me to use my phone! If you’ve been keeping up with the spells I’ve been posting as of late, I’ve recently found myself in a situation in which I have to adjust my practice to my new living situation. It’s hard for me to afford herbs, I can’t burn candles in my apartment, and I’m living in the middle of the city and am awful at taking care of plants.  SO I’ve been trying to find ways in which to incorporate something I always have with me (my phone) into my practice.  As a result I’ve come up with this all-purpose “wish spell.” Want some luck with money? BAM. Want to curse someone? Here ya go! Just want your coffee to stay warmer for just a little longer? Use this!  The steps are easy!  1. Create a new message on your phone and address it to yourself/your own number (or your e-mail if you’re worried about people going through your phone!) 2. Type out what it is you want. Use present-tense. “My hair is amazing today.” or whatever it is you want. Focus on your desire as you type and if you choose, add emojis that you feel pertain to your wish. 

3. Send the message and hit Home – if you’re on the iPhone. If you have another phone then get an iPhone because really. Kidding (sort of). Regardless, just go back to your home screen. 

4. Do NOT open the message (or e-mail) when you receive it! Leave it marked unread in your inbox! The reason for this is that now every time you see the unread message notification above your messages, you’re going to be reminded of the spell and that gives it more fuel.  5. When the wish comes true, you can finally view and delete the message.

Got a call from the financial aid advisor telling me that they made a mistake with filing my account (or some other sort of clerical error) and said that, basically, they owe me money. Welp.

Everyone has been vaccinated for free and the virus hasn’t caused a single death in months.

Those dates you go on with your partner? They’re in public. Unmasked. Your server smiles at you. Everyone feels safe.

You can hug your friends.

You can see a movie. The people in the movie are gay people of color and they kiss and live happily ever after.

And so will you.

All your carefully selected crystals and coloured candles and specific movements and moon signs don’t mean shit if you don’t use your will to actually manifest the spell

This has been a witchy PSA

ASBESTOS IS BEING USED IN REIKI/CRYSTAL HEALING - PSA MASTER POST

Worryingly Asbetos is being made into homepoathic wands and reki stones. Most worryingly claiming to cure CANCER, which Asbestos causes.

Being sold to many people under the intentions of “bring a bonding action between one and the subject of one’s desires“ and claiming that it’s the “etheric blueprint to correct imbalances and blockages that could manifest as physical disease and to heal cellular memory, one of the best stones for rousing the kundalini energies“  Chrysotile a type of Asbestos is quickly becoming one of the most requested minerals in reiki and crystal healing.  And it’s not the only type of Asbestos being sold as a healing crystal.

Above is Richterite, it’s known to be as dangerous as any of the other Asbestos in the six categories and is being sold to people promising ironic cures for liver, pancreas, kidney or breast cancer.

Above is Tigers Eye, everyone knows it looks cool but it is also Asbestos and although polished Health Protection Agency in the U.K., claim these are still dangerous. 

While some types of asbestos may be more hazardous than others, all are dangerous. Leading health agencies, including the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the EPA and the International Agency for Research on Cancer, classify all types of asbestos as cancer-causing substances.

The following are all a type of asbestos: chrysotile, amosite, crocidolite, tremolite, winchite, suglite, richterite, actinolite and anthophyllite.

All the identified forms of asbestos can cause asbestosis, malignant mesothelioma, lung cancer, ovarian cancer, laryngeal cancer and other serious diseases and will not cure any form of cancer. Some agencies, such as the Health Protection Agency in the U.K., claim amphibole varieties of asbestos are the most dangerous forms. The EPA has abandoned projects aiming to identify which asbestos fiber types are the most toxic, citing the overall regulation of asbestos and asbestiform minerals as a more pressing priority.

[ghoulifiedbitch]

EXCUSE ME WTF

[gorgeousgeology]

Literally my reaction too, for just $20 you can pay to have a lump of raw asbestos shipped to you to cure you of various forms of cancer.

[rosslynpaladin]

I don’t know if this is true but kids do your research before you do anything with stones or minerals because some of them can kill.

[thebibliosphere]

Aaaand this is one of the reasons why the whole “place your crystal in water and drink the magic water” trend is a bad idea. Like, for any crystal, don’t do that. That’s how some kids got arsenic poisoning recently because the stones started fucking dissolving.

If you’re going to get into crystals for any sort of therapeutic (or even just for the shiny!) purposes, please do some basic research if you plan to be handling them a lot, or using them with clients.

Here’s a fairly comprehensive list of possibly toxic crystals:

https://sacredhealingnyc.com/toxic-crystal-list/

Have fun.

[aggressivelynicegamewitch]

NEVER NEVER NEVER place crystals in water. I don't care if it's "waterproof" or won't dissolve. So many crystals (not just these horrifying asbestos rocks) are made up of things that you absolutely should not digest. You want gem water? Get a bottle of water and surround it with crystals. You want to drink storm water? Get a sealed bottle of water and put it outside when it rains.

I put amethyst in water as a kid and it was fucking disgusting. There's was some kind of moldy shit in it. I took one sip and regretted it. Do not ingest water you put a crystal in. Better yet, just straight up don't do it. Don't ingest that, don't ingest essential oils, don't put it in any sensitive places, just don't.

[samwisethewitch]

hi there! I’m currently working on making a grimiore and I dont have much experience with pendulums but I found something that I would really like to add. However, it looks similar to a ouija board. Is pendulum work like using a ouija board, because I am not comfortable with those. Thank you xx

Pendulums and ouija boards are similar in that they both rely on subconscious muscular micromovement for divination. Tiny movements in the muscles in your hand cause the pendulum to swing a certain way, in a similar way to how subconscious movements guide the planchette in a ouija session. They’re not the same, but it’s a similar process.

Pendulums are typically used to answer yes or no questions, but I have seen people who use an alphabet board (similar to a ouija board) to spell out words. I assume that’s what you’re talking about? 

I feel like I’m obligated to point out that ouija boards are not any more or less dangerous than any other method of divination. They’re a mass-produced novelty toy lol. But if you’re uncomfortable using them, you definitely don’t have to! I understand that pendulums don’t have the negative pop culture associations that ouija boards do, so they may be a better place to start. 

[aggressivelynicegamewitch]

Here's the thing: the scariness of ouija boards is from both pop culture and people using them irresponsibly. I personally don't like them either because I don't want to invite spirits into my home. If you do, make sure to say GOODBYE. Tell them they need to leave and are no longer welcome. Do not leave whatever protection you cast beforehand.

As for pendulums, those don't need to have any relation with spirits. You can use it to talk to a spirit or deity, but it's not necessary. I usually only use it for yes/no questions or dowsing.

TL;DR: just know how to use stuff responsibly and safely.

Grief as an Offering

One of the goddesses I’ve been getting to know of late is Hela, the Norse Goddess of death.  She rules over Helheim which is the Norse realm of the Dead which the Valkyries did not take to Valhalla to fight at Ragnarok. 

She is different than other Dark Goddess archetypes. She is quiet, somewhat reserved, and gentle. She isn’t so much the bringer of death, as the relief afterwards. She is who will reunite you with your clan, your kindred and your ancestors after your long journey and your last breath.  

I had never considered that Grief could be an offering until tonight.  When I realized that of course, of course she would take grief.  No one else wants grief, Hel does. Give Her your grief, and your pain, and your fight to the last breath. She will take it gently from you. 

Working through Grief is messy.  Most of the feelings and thoughts don’t make a lot of sense, and we keep it so closely.  But eventually, we must let it go, and now we have someone who wants it. Once you are done with it, once it has done everything it needs to do for you, give your Grief away. And to someone who sees the beauty in being able to let it go.

[freyjasheir]

I had my first encounter with Hel like this, and seeing similar experiences from other people makes me very glad she’s done so much good work.

[north-of-annwn]

Hel is an absolute treasure. I’m so glad you also had this type of experience with her. She is Comforter, Grief Counselor, Quiet Companion, and just a presence that lets you know you’re not alone.

Honestly… Hel transformed my relationship with Death and also Life. She made me less afraid to talk about it with my father when he was terminally ill. And more willing to understand my grief so I could eventually hand it gently over to such a dedicated caretaker.

[a-is-for-alice-in-neverland]

If I’m ever able to let go, I’ve made a note to offer it to her! <3

[north-of-annwn]

@a-is-for-alice-in-neverland

Perhaps offering it can be a start to letting go? Whenever you are feeling the sting of grief, you could try saying: 

“Hel, Comforter in grief, I offer my pain to you so that I may protect the love that is here. I know you will keep it well just as you keep those whom I love.”

[sycamores-in-winter]

Thank you so much for sharing this offering prayer, @thespiralpath. I have been going through a depressive episode and on top of that, one of my cats died a few days ago. I stumbled over this post at just the right time. I recited this and offered my grief to Hel, and within hours, a huge portion of my sadness had finally lifted. It was such a shock to realize how much better I felt, and I am so grateful.

[north-of-annwn]

Grief is such a mixed complexity of emotion. I hope you continue to find healing and love that takes the place of the feelings around loss.

I’ve found Hel is wonderful with that. She has such a gentle hand with grief. I’m so glad that reaching out to her is helping.

Blessings and Healing to you, dear.

[valkyraven]

There is something else Hel is good for:

She gives you permission to grieve.

Sometimes it can be hard to grieve. Sometimes grief is frowned upon (especialy for cis men).

Sometimes you don’t realize how much you are grieving.

Sometimes you don’t want to show your grief to anyone living.

But you can always show it to Her.

[aggressivelynicegamewitch]

I thank Hel as often as my brain lets me remember to for looking after a kitten I was going to adopt who didn't get a chance to live their life. I had named him Fenrir since he was a feisty little guy who clamped down on my hand with his teeth. Unfortunately, he was also in very, very bad shape.

I still struggle with doubt about whether it was right to make that choice for him. What if he wanted to fight? What if he could live and be loved? Knowing Hel is looking after him helps me live with that. I know she will pass on my love to him and that really makes a difference.

[lokeanwitchofthewest]

I don’t know what Lokean needs to hear this, but I have a feeling someone does.

A lot of Loki’s most common suggested offerings are drugs (alcohol and tobacco especially). If you are someone you struggles with addiction, or addiction runs in your family, and you choose not to do drugs for any reason; Loki does not mind you not giving those types of offerings. You are not lesser to him, or to this community.

-

And if you are someone who is struggling with addiction, I really hope you doing well and I am so proud of you for trying to get better.

[aggressivelynicegamewitch]

Super important!! I offer my favorite chocolate to share more often than alcohol. Sometimes I dedicate my coffee. Sometimes I thank them for helping me weather change. I've put little toys on his altar. I've offered straight up just a cup of water.

Loki doesn't want you to hurt for their sake. Offer what you can. It doesn't need to be alcohol or drugs or something expensive. They care that you thought of them and wanted to show your love somehow.
