Tech witchcraft is a Thing And Valid™ 💪🏻💯 Elitist witches can suck it. 😒🖕🏻

Pass it on ‼️ 😊✌🏻️

[ezmyrelda]

Who ever said it isn’t a valid thing? I will fight them.

[samodinsdottir-deactivated20180]

Oh you know, Actual Witches™ who think just because it’s a modern practice it’s not just as magickal.

[ezmyrelda]

Yeah.. Who would have ever thought that a chunk of precious metals and minerals coursing with electricity and providing easy access to knowledge could be something magical.. I mean that’s totally absurd right? 

[samodinsdottir-deactivated20180]

Everything around us has energy in it. Including technology. So instead of being pretentious about something, why don’t you actually try and understand how modern witchcraft works? 🙃

[ezmyrelda]

or.. it’s possible you could recognize sarcasm.. I’d say I wrote the book on digital witchcraft.. But I’m still in the process of writing it. I suggest taking a bit of your own advice.. 

But to clarify.. and I really wonder why I had to spell this out to a “Tech Witch” (which honestly sounds awful but not everyone can be an Eloress..) People buy crystals.. and use them for magical work. People buy jewelry and tools made out of precious metals and imbue them with energy.. and use them in their magic.. Your phone, your computer, all your digital devices have trace elements of gold.. silver.. etc.. etc.. etc.. Computers store the body of a witches knowledge more completely than grimoires do.. They hold our finished and unfinished projects. They hold prayers that spin as fast as 10,000 rpms to fly off into the aether. The phone is an Athame to an Eloress. A computer is a Cauldron to an Eloress.. If you don’t think computers are magical.. or technology can be magical.. I dare say.. you don’t really understand what magic is..  

However.. what you consider digital witchcraft and I consider digital witchcraft might be completely different… Which is fine.. There’s more than enough room in digital witchcraft for people at all levels of proficiency.  Have a lovely day.  💚

[samodinsdottir-deactivated20180]

Lmao your ego is unreal. Why don’t you read what you wrote and tell me how someone is supposed to take that? How about you tone down your child like sarcasm and maybe talk like an adult instead of acting, again, pretentious?

I honestly don’t give a shit what you think digital witchcraft is. If you’re a tech witch, great. This post was directed toward those who don’t think tech witchcraft is a valid form of magic. Now, shoo little fly.

[aural-emerald]

Why don’t you read what I wrote.. and then read what I wrote before..  and then consider context.. How about.. anybody.. that reads anything.. ever.. consider context.. Just as you don’t give a crap what I think digital witchcraft is.. I could give a fuck what you think about me in relation to pretension.  It happened upon my tumblr dashboard.. Consider the context of that.. I didn’t go looking for your post.. Shoo fly, yourself little one.

If you direct something at people who don’t give a crap to begin with.. and then get huffy at a person who was agreeing with you.. How about you grow up a little yourself?

Block me.. or don’t... You’re the one holding the fly swatter.. use it..

I’ll be damned if I’m ever going to apologize for the minimal reading skills other people have.

I get that nobody has invented a sarcasm font yet.. but fucks sake.. Do a little thinking before you start bitching at somebody who replied

“Who ever said it isn’t a valid thing? I will fight them.“.

Go away child.. ya bother me.

The Voyager Golden Records are phonograph records which were included aboard both Voyager spacecraft, which were launched in 1977. They contain sounds and images selected to portray the diversity of life and culture on Earth, and are intended for any intelligent extraterrestrial life form, or for future humans, who may find them. At the top left of the plate is a schematic representation of the hyperfine transition of hydrogen, which is the most abundant element in the universe. Below this symbol is a small vertical line to represent the binary digit 1.  On the right side of the plaque, a man and a woman are shown in front of the spacecraft. Between the brackets that indicate the height of the woman, the binary representation of the number 8 can be seen in units of the wavelength of the hyperfine transition of hydrogen. The right hand of the man is raised as a sign of good will. Although this gesture may not be understood, it offers a way to show the opposable thumb and how the limbs can be moved. The radial pattern on the left of the plaque shows 15 lines emanating from the same origin. Fourteen of the lines have corresponding long binary numbers, which stand for the periods of pulsars. Since these periods will change over time, the epoch of the launch can be calculated from these values. The lengths of the lines show the relative distances of the pulsars to the Sun.  The fifteenth line on the plaque extends to the far right, behind the human figures. This line indicates the Sun’s relative distance to the center of the galaxy. At the bottom of the plaque is a schematic diagram of the Solar System. A small picture of the spacecraft is shown, and the trajectory shows its way past Jupiter and out of the Solar System. The binary numbers above and below the planets show the relative distance to the Sun. Behind the figures of the human beings, the silhouette of the Pioneer spacecraft is shown in the same scale so that the size of the human beings can be deduced by measuring the spacecraft.

This is a thing about sound.. 

[aural-emerald]

"I hate country music.": eh

"I hate new country music because the genre has shifted from being retelling of folk tales and tales of the underprivileged working class of the American south and has now boiled down to bragging about your truck.": absolutely

"I hate all country music except for specific individuals who surpassed the genre because they were legends and I have never expected folk tales or stories about the underprivileged from country because that is actually bluegrass and always has been." : yup.

Clyde Stubblefield, James Brown's Funky Drummer, Dies At 73

Clyde Stubblefield, the funk drummer whose work with James Brown made him one of the most sampled musicians in history, died Saturday morning in Madison, Wisc., his publicist confirmed. Stubblefield was 73; his publicist did not provide a cause of death.

For most of his career, Stubblefield was better known in sound than in name. He joined James Brown’s backing band in 1965, one of countless musicians on an ever-rotating roster. As he told NPR in 2015, the ensemble seemed to have more than enough drummers already when he showed up to audition. “I went on stage and there was five drum sets up there,” he explained. “And I’m going, ‘Wow, what do you need me for?’”

Still, his recordings with Brown managed to rise above the competition: Songs like “Cold Sweat,” “Say It Loud — I’m Black And I’m Proud” and “Mother Popcorn” are now revered as a gold standard for funk drumming. A generation later, he would have an even bigger impact on hip-hop, as the pattern he’d played on 1970’s “Funky Drummer” proved irresistible to producers. The track’s distinctive break, a sixteenth beat punctuated by deft, delicate snare hits, has been sampled on hundreds of songs. [Read More]

A moment of silence and then a funky break for a legend. <3

[revscarecrow]

Posted this on twitter and thought y'all would wanna see it as well.

[aural-emerald]

I’m trying to bring more of this into my life so I can complete more tracks. Maybe a lot of what I would do might be seen as perfectly imperfect by others.. Who’s to say?

[musicalsymphony]

I know I never (personally) post things like this but I saw this on the news and I really wanted to share it.

[musicalsymphony]

Guys the party happened yesterday - look how happy he is!

[bando--grand-scamyon]

I’m still crying about this

[aural-emerald]

This makes me really happy.. Nobody should ever be shamed about how they dance.. Everyone should feel free to dance.. Whether people are watching or not.

[breelandwalker]

I bind you, 2017, from doing harm. Harm against other people and harm against yourself.

Like to charge, reblog to cast.

It ain’t much, but at least we can try.

[issamemario-deactivated20170621]

This means you’re protecting the bad people as well

[breelandwalker]

-lays aside glasses, pinches bridge of nose-

Hypothetically speaking, if we bound the entire year of 2017 from being harmful, the threat of anything that “bad people” might do would be effectively neutralized.

Also the point of this post is about three miles west of here, and I think you may have missed it.

[whisper-of-skooma-dreams]

Fool, that would think time would be bound by thine petty whims, that magic alone would stop wickedness from happening.

If there is to be good, act, not wish and cast about with impotent spells. Good requires effort.

Do something.

[breelandwalker]

If thou dost believe I intend to warm the bench with my backside in sloth and idleness whilst I trust all to the whims of fate, then truly thou knowest me not.

Magic of this sort ALWAYS requires some kind of practical action to be truly successful and I’ve been saying that for YEARS.

Magic alone will not do the job…but it’s a good place to start.

[whisper-of-skooma-dreams]

If it requires years of practical action to work, it’s not magic. It is work.

Our approaches to the universe are different by far. So I offer this instead:

I will stay in my corner and leave your corner alone. Would this be acceptable in peace, that we might disagree or even dislike, but respect enough to not disturb the other intentionally?

[breelandwalker]

Magic is an augmentation to practical action, not a replacement for it. If you don’t understand or believe in the efficacy of magic, maybe conversations about witchcraft are not for you.

Go in peace, and may safety and good cheer be with you and yours this coming year. Lord knows we could all use it.

[aural-emerald]

Hey...  @whisper-of-skooma-dreams.. I gotta hip you to some wisdom. Magic too requires work.. All things worthwhile require it. I would suggest that if your “magic” is encapsulated by saying a few words and waving your fingers arcanely... It’s not magic.. it’s fantasy.
