Okay so as those of you who use PayPal are probably aware, PayPal has this new credit card type thing that they’re DESPERATE for people to use.

So I was buying something with Paypal and suddenly mid check out i noticed something that said I was signing up for their credit card, like not asking me if I want to buy it, one click away as if I was about to finish a transaction for it. I scrolled down and saw a “cancel transaction” button, pressed it, and suddenly I was back to my checkout screen. PayPal now has a pop up screen that looks almost identical to their normal checkout screen, which will pop up while you’re mid-transaction and try to trick you into signing up for their credit card. Keep an eye out.

Okay, let’s get something straight here: 

Día De Los Muertos is not “A Mexican Halloween”

If you did not know that, it is alright it is not your job to know everything about ever culture but allow me to explain exactly what Day of the Dead is: 

Día De Los Muertos/ Day of the Dead is a celebration but not so much of one like Halloween, 

In the mornings there are typically parades all filled with laughter, dance, beautiful decorations, and music of course it is fun we celebrate the life we have

But we don’t paint our faces and go parading down the street for nothing, its not a thing we do just because it is fun 

We MOURN

We honor those who has passed and made the journey to the afterlife

Each year families to to Grave sights (which are NOT for your aesthetically pleasing selfies please) to pay respects and visit those who have already gone

Mexicans and Hispanics are very family oriented people, at the grave sights you can often hear mother wailing out for their children who passed too soon or men knelt over their mother’s grave sobbing and of course children crying for their parents

People pray and cry out, they sob and scream

Yes it is a day of remembrance and we honor them but it is still painful, we miss those who once walked with us

Families and friends typically bring favorite food, flowers, drinks, etc to the graveyards 

Do NOT make fun of that. Please.

DON’T post skeleton memes aimed at Day of The Dead, the calavera/sugar skulls are meant to represented the parted souls of loved ones with names etched onto the forehead and the skulls painted on our faces are meant to ward off more death

DON’T disrespect grave sights, this is an obvious thing not to do people 

DON’T  celebrate if you do not intend of respecting and honoring those who have passed and just want it as a second Halloween 

DON’T mock people celebrating or any of the traditions 

DON’T mess the with petals, those orange petals are from a flower called  cempoalxochitl, and they are meant to help guide the dead back to their homes so their spirits can too visit 

Don’t get me wrong Day of the Dead isn’t always sad it is also fun and amazing and beautiful, we not only honor those who have gone but we celebrate those who have lived this long, we celebrate the life we have and acknowledge the fact we made it this far, death is a natural cycle, death will take us all one day but not today, and that is the reason why we celebrate! It is a beautifully melancholy holiday, and remember Day of the Dead is actually multiple days do please be mindful!

A perpetual spell to cope with intrusive thoughts

Thanks to severe OCD and PTSD, I’m often stuck in my own head with a bunch of intrusive and obsessive nonsense. I came up with a perpetual banishing and transmutation spell to help process and deal with unwanted thoughts.

The Banishing Bin functions somewhat like a computer’s recycle bin:

write unwanted thought/feeling on a sticky note or piece of small paper

draw banishing/transmutation sigil over words

fold up paper and throw in banishing bin 

burn/rip/trash them during the waning crescent or dark moon

This is a great spell if you’re a spoonie or not open about your craft. It’s fairly easy to perform and store without raising eyebrows (it literally just sits on my bookcase unsuspiciously). I found the mini trashcan at a local discount store for a couple dollars. The cheapest one I can find online can be purchased from Amazon here, but you can use any container you like as a bin. If you don’t have a banishing sigil you’re already working with, feel free to use mine.

Keep My Name Out of Your Mouth -Spell-

We’ve all experienced gossip at some point, and sometimes we know exactly who is spreading the word. For those situations, I have a little chant that I have found effective to stop the person from speaking ill of you.

1). Focus on the person you wish to affect, maybe have their picture or something reminiscent of them.

2). Say the following while holding your focus

“I suggest my name you keep out of your mouth,

Or your reputation will be the one to go south.

For as you tarnish my name,

Yours will experience threefold the same.”

Note: You do not have to use threefold, as I know some people are uncomfortable with it. I simply use it to strengthen the effect of the spell.

Migrant Caravan, portraits of women

I’ve had a lot of comments on my videos that there are only men, gangsters, criminals on the migrant caravan, even terrorists, well, take a look, please, and ask if you find these people threatening? This is what I am seeing. I took these portraits in one small corner today.

Every woman I’ve spoken to here has a horror story. It doesn’t come out immediately, but if I speak to them for half an hour, it emerges, painfully. Kidnap, rape, even rape of their children. One woman wept as she told me that ‘from the moment girls are born, men conspire to ruin their lives’. That was the reason she was escaping Honduras. (She is not in these photos).

All of these women have been walking for for 11 days in ferocious heat. Some have been carrying their children, or pushing them in buggies.

All names withheld for security.

Are they criminals and gangsters?

Thanks to Whitney Godoy for her help setting this up this morning.

I am documenting the migrant caravan on behalf of the ACT Alliance and the The Lutheran World Federation who work on the causes of migration such as climate change, insecurity and poverty in Central America. Codemuh Codemuh Defensores en Linea,
