its interesting how the people who say "my trauma made me funny" are never actually funny just uncomfortably self-deprecating

A gif I made for some inner peace during my own tumult.

Took me years to understand that boredom is not the enemy of writing. It is the raw material. Every good idea i have ever had arrived during a walk with no podcast, a train with no phone, a shower where i just stood there. The moment i fill every silence with content i stop generating anything of my own. I am just processing other people's thoughts instead of having mine. The empty space is where the work comes from. Protecting the empty space is the actual job.

Nymphea, c.1890 by Arthur Wardle (English, 1864–1949)

I keep coming back, in the most frustratingly cyclical fashion, to feeling like my spiritual life doesn't fit. And I can't figure out if it's because it really doesn't or because my disabilities (and lack of want to engage sometimes) makes for a square-peg-round-hole situation.

I want to feel connected to something greater than myself, but I'm wildly skeptical and on shaky footing with faith. Any advice from the void?

it’s not “am I good enough to do it?”, it’s “do I like it enough to be bad at it?”

Pagan writers when talking about female deities: "They're a mother goddess"

Pagan writers when talking about male deities: "Well, their role and function is a lot more complicated and important than just just being a father god, and here's a 10k word essay discussing why they're more than just a father god"

OOOOO I HAVE SO MANY THOUGHTS

This is what originally turned me away from Wicca (among other reasons). So many books, blogs, and other resources seem to have so much built-in misogyny that it boggles my mind.

It's part of why I hate the invention of the "Mother-Maiden-Crone" archetype so much.

No, Hekate is not MMC. She is a powerful force of sorcery and liminality. No, the Morrigan is not MMC. She is a Goddess of bloodshed, mercy, and power.

Reducing such multi-faceted entities, such influential spirits, down to the box that patriarchal systems tried to fit them in is so disrespectful.

Freya, Frigg, Aphrodite, Hekate, Athena, etc. Do many Goddesses have aspects of fertility, nurturing, parenthood? Yeah, they do, just like Zeus, Ares, and Njordr. Is that all they are? Is that even the core of what they influence? Not always.

Immediate red flag if any book you're reading only has Goddesses in the footnotes, as mothers.

Very well said 🙏

I will start taking Maiden-Mother-Crone seriously when male deities start being assigned Boy-Father-Geezer.

Not superstitious and not not superstitious but a third secret thing (read a lot of fairytales as a child and doesn't believe them but also would never be rude to a mountain while still on it just in case)
