Y'all ever open a book on a new subject, read a little bit, and have to put it back so you can process the way in which your mind was just expanded?

[headspace-hotel]

The textile book: okay here is some of the ways that textiles are important to human life

me: Okay!

The textile book: Clothes separate the vulnerable human body from the conditions of the outside world, and in doing so absorb the sweat and debris of human existence, accumulating wear and tear according to the lives we live. In this way, various lifestyles and professions are represented by clothing, and the clothing of a loved one retains the imprint of their physical body and their life being lived, as though the clothes absorb part of the wearer's soul

Me: ...oh

The textile book: The process of weaving a garment and the process of a child being formed in its mother's womb are often referred to using the same language. Likewise, when a baby is born, a blanket or other textile material is the first material object it encounters and protects it. Textiles can create the idea of two things being inextricable, as with being "woven together," or can create the sense of separateness, as with a curtain or veil that separates two rooms or spaces, even separating the living from the dead, or separating two realities, such as a performance ending when the curtain falls

Me: ...oh God

The textile book: Odysseus's wife Penelope undid her weaving in secret every night to delay the advances of her suitors. In this way she was able to turn back the passage of time to allow her husband to come home. Likewise the Lakota tell a story of an old woman embroidering time by embroidering a robe with porcupine quills. If she finishes the embroidery, the world will come to an end, but her faithful dog pulls out the quills whenever her back is turned, turning back the clock and allowing existence to continue.

me: ...is...is...is that why we refer to the fabric of space and time?

The textile book: The technological revolution of textile making is sadly underappreciated. The textile arts are possibly the most fundamental human technology, as once people created string and rope, they could create nets for catching fish and small animals, and bags and baskets for carrying food. In the earliest prehistoric times, the first string or cord perhaps came from sinew, found in the body of an animal. Because of this perhaps the body of a living being could be understood as made of a textile material. Indeed textiles have the function of preserving life, as with a surgeon stitching back together the human body or bandages being placed on a wound. Textile technologies are being used to create life-changing implants to restore function to injured parts of the body, as though a muscle or tendon can be woven and made in this way. Cloth can be used to create a parachute that will save a human's life as they plummet out of the sky. Ultimately, the textile technologies are used to enter new parts of the universe.

Unpopular Opinion Time

The doodle you make or the picrew you use, the poorly executed poetry or basic bare bones prayer will ALWAYS be better than AI generated offerings.

I am sick of having my feed flooded with practitioners, pagans and other polytheists using AI. Specifically deities like Brigid should never be offered AI in my opinion, it’s essentially a slap in the face.

AI generated spells aren’t shit, it’s what a computer assumes will work based off of what it can gather from internet trends and research. MAKE IT YOURSELF, ask a human for help anything but AI.

There is no place for Artificial Intelligence in these spaces.

by talos this can’t be happening is a mandela effect because the actual phrase is by the gods this can’t be happening and i’ve never heard anyone say the former in game

[andthentheywilleatthestars]

by talos this can’t be happening

[zpamtondiedinablender]

the phrase by talos this can’t be happening is actually from a rupaul roleplay blog who left their husband in a cage with no food and water for a few weeks and the husband died sorry to be the spoil sport but it does have an origin and it is a very tumblr origin in nature

[link-lonk]

Here’s the post they’re referring to for context

[regicide1997]

Oh. Skyrim husband.

Rich People: "I want to price gouge and plan obsolescence without having to worry about competition. Government, enforce my patents."

Rich People: "I want firepower to uphold my enormous wealth. Government, hire police officers with taxpayer money to protect my property from thieves and trespassers."

Rich People: "I want a source of cheap labor. Government, enforce laws against victimless actions in order to put people in prison so I can exploit them as slaves, then brand them with criminal records so they'll take any low wage job that's offered to them in the future."

Rich People: "There are homeless people existing who are not generating profit for me. Government, hire police officers with taxpayer money to arrest them for loitering, and use taxpayer money to build hostile architecture."

Rich People: "Homeless people are eating food that my business discarded, which doesn't generate profit for me. Government, hire police officers with taxpayer money to guard the dumpster."

Rich People: "Marijuana is competition for me as a pharmaceutical CEO. Government, ban marijuana."

Rich People: "I build weapons. Government, create wars and buy my weapons with taxpayer money."

Poor People: "I can't afford what I need to live. Government, financially assist me, require my employer to pay me more, or limit rich people's ability to increase prices."

Rich People: "Stop relying on government for everything and taking people's freedom!"

For my fellow fibre arts witches, if you're starting to get the Annual Cold Weather Fidget, that driving urge to reach for hooks and needles and that big bin of spools and fabric lurking in your closet....

If you feel like Doing A Witchcraft, you can work some witchy into whatever you're making. Weaving, crocheting, knitting, nalbinding, stitching, embroidery, and knotwork can all carry magic and serve as a vehicle for creating spells, sigils, talismans, or enchanted wearables.

Am I saying you can put a spell into that pair of socks you're knitting? That scarf you've been working on? That pile of granny squares waiting to become a blanket? That cross-stitch piece you've been meaning to finish?

ABSOLUTELY.

There are even books on knot magic, witchy crochet and knitting patterns, and beautifully spooky cross-stitch and embroidery pieces. (And lots more downloadable patterns exist on etsy and fibre arts forums!) Perfect for chilling with your favorite hot beverage and current binge-watch while you keep your hands from getting bored.

Go forth and have fun with it!

A Tiny Bit of Home Sweet Home

As pictured above you see what essentially is an oil burner with an LED tea light. The burner it’s self was purchased for the astronomical cost of one U.S. dollar from a wal-mart. The LED tea light I just had on hand. But what I found while meditating one what to do with it is that it looks an awful bit like an old stove and honestly could make convincing little hearth in one’s desired place. Being with the flow of mystica we all are no strangers to shrines and sympathetic magic. Why not enchant this little oven into a spirit dwelling for the idea of one’s own personal hearth. Perfect for an altar, or useful while traveling and needed a bit of connection to one’s own familiar space. If you don’t have you’re own space it could be used as a manifesting tool to bring to yourself that which you desire in a space you would like to live.  Get creative, these burners are easily mass produced and available as well as easily altered with paint and other crafting goods. Perhaps you could use it while away from your home while at school by decorating it with bit of your reminders of your true home. Add a bit of dirt from your yard into the paint to give it a tether, write things that remind you of this place even if it hasn’t existed yet. The possibilities are entirely up to you! In the end what you could have is a little space you can call your home a place to do your workings for yourself and family (blood or found), to sit and bask in the spirits of the hearth to connect with ancestors or what ever you wish.

I’ve found that a lot of spells (mostly prosperity) in magick (esp in older manuscripts) tend to call a lot on one’s own home hearth. But what if you don’t have one? The reasons could be numerous. You may be homeless, or in between places. You might live as a Nomad! Not to mention the other factors that may confuse many a witch as to the fact we no longer have what could be considered a grand home hearth as we would have back in ye olden times. Maybe you’re young or in the broom closet and don’t have access to one’s own homes safely. Perhaps you don’t consider the rest of the house your home or space for a variety of reasons. What does one do?

A hearth really is just the focal point of the home. It’s where the family would gather, eat, work and enjoy each other’s company. So way back this would be in front of the fire as this is where meals would be cooked, where everyone kept warm, told stories and generally be. Many workings such as warding and protection center around the hearth; hidden shoes for example, where old shoes would be stored in chimneys to protect those they once shod from witchcraft and general ill.

There are obviously many substitutes one can use today such as the kitchen table, the living room couch a rev room etc. some many even use feng shui to determine wealth and home areas of their dwelling and use these as a substitute. These are all perfectly workable solutions! But if you need a point with a little bit more focus ( or moveability), perhaps try this solution.
