[emmabemely]

hello hello !! here’s how you can find your way around !! think of it as a very clumsy database, full of extraneous things, this year i’m conquering my fear of shit posting, we’re gonna shit post and ride this out till the wheels fall off ! x

🪵🪾📑 ~ navigating the archive ~ 🏛️📚🦌 -astrology observations series (tropical, people seem to enjoy this one a lot) -vedic observation series (it’s in it’s infancy, be nice to the new list) -response to inbox questions (you’re always welcomed to send me a message, in here are guidelines for inbox questions as well) -sometimes i think (thoughts i housed) (strictly writing) -fashion & makeup & chic things (and moody art & media when the occasion calls for it) -em's recomendations (movies, books, travel, and things i like, some witchy spells too)

archives of things i like (excerpts, photos, and so forth)

i love music, the cinema, Latin, literature/language & science, and art and especially writing, i believe in life long learning, politics are important to me and everyone is welcomed here, i love the cross over between the intellectual and esoteric, a healthy balance of science and spirituality, i reblog things i enjoy and want to share with you guys x

Readings include: Natal, solar return, and synastry, transit charts !! if you want something very specific, i could give it a look and if it's within reason, i'm happy to do it, keep it mind I'm a reader, if you're looking for a holy miracle such as ways to blow up someones car I advise you to contact a witch instead (kidding, mostly) (i take cash app and they’re 10$ each) (DM me, do not message me through inbox)

buying plants is a great witch tip if you’re in a self destructive cycle, you’ll snap out of your own bullshit, can’t kill yourself if you have plants you need to water the next day xoxo

Darcy’s introduction in Pride and Prejudice is really ‘what if you had just had the worst month of your life because your ex-bestie tried to lover boy scam your baby sister out of her share of your dad’s life insurance and your friend dragged you to a shitty party in a dive bar in the neighbourhood where he’d just signed a short term lease, and you decided to let your bad mood show because you were never going to see any of the assholes in this stupid shitty bar EVER again. And your friend ended up making out with a girl he’d just met there while you were stuck talking to her sister who was less cute and then her mother appeared and started trying to matchmake and started saying how if she was twenty years younger she’d clime you like a redwood and ooooh is that a black Amex, guess the next round is on you hahhahahahaha, while her other sister (how many fucking sisters does she have?!) flashed an obviously fake ID at the bar and ordered six vodka-diet red bulls and no one in her family except the less-cute sister even tried to stop her. And you went home and consoled yourself that you would never see any of these people again but then you met them over and over again because they live next door and your friend and the cute sister keep meeting up to make out but not actually date and then. You fall in love with the less-cute sister because it turns out she’s really witty and charismatic but she already knows and remembers and resents the fact that on a day when you were in a shitty mood you called her mid out loud in a dive bar.’

why are cardinal placements woman catching so much strays about being pick-me girls ?? More so Libra, Aries, Cancer placements and less Capricorn’s, but what the fuck guys, cardinal placements open each season, they’ve never been the ones to bend, the calendar and history never played with their track record

Aries starting spring, Cancer starting summer, Libra starting fall, and Capricorn starts winter

they’re the leaders and light bringers, woman with these placements are shown to be heavily tied to activism and longstanding legacies, you ungrateful unappreciative little 💩are biting the hand that built the foundation of society, god forbid a zombie apocalypse breaks out, they’re gonna be the last ones standing, im gonna start exiling people for cardinal placements slander

Venus Through The Houses (1-3)

Venus in the 1H

venus sitting right at the door of the self = you are the art piece. appearance, mannerisms, aura, people respond before you’ve spoken. dorotheus (1st c. CE) said “venus with the ascendant makes the native loved by all and of beautiful form.” charm opens doors, life feels lighter, social and romantic opportunities appear. you move through the world with aesthetic luck. with weaknesses, you can lean on looks too much, become “liked” but not “known.” danger of projecting persona over essence. endless, glittering smile masking the ache. or satine in moulin rouge, walking embodiment of desire. think about aphrodite rising from the sea foam, no backstory, just presence. these people notice how others look at them from childhood

Venus in the 2H

venus loves being here: she rules this house. money, possessions, voice—this is the placement of “i want to live beautifully.” value systems tie to aesthetics. natural ability to attract resources, good taste, sometimes literal singing or voice charm (the throat is 2nd house territory). their weaknesses is attachment to comfort, indulgence, difficulty risking what’s safe. can reduce self-worth to material worth. a good example would be marie antoinette eating cakes in pastel rococo decadence. the beauty is irresistible but ultimately wasteful. mythology wise, think of the horae, attendants of aphrodite, who presided over the “seasons of wealth and bloom” venus here wants perennial spring. often they find wealth through partners or social charm, gatekeepers and sustainers of abundance. “i know the right people, so i never starve.” their room always smells good, even if they’re broke

Venus in the 3H

here venus becomes a conversationalist, a letter-writer, a storyteller. the beauty is in words, in sibling bonds, in short trips. dorotheus notes venus here makes “pleasant speech and many companions.”charming communicator, gifted in writing, languages, diplomacy. words seduce. their weaknesses is superficial charm, talking about love instead of living it, flirting as default. can get scattered with too many friendships. watch the before movie trilogy, observe Celine in before sunrise/before sunset, she conjures an entire relationship built on dialogue, her voice enchanting as much as her presence. think about eros sending letters, gossip among the gods, venus in 3rd is the art of the spoken/scribbled word. these natives collect notebooks, send long texts, fall in love through late-night convos. childhood often had a pretty sibling or a charming cousin they mirrored themselves against.

Love,

E

Maybe it's the neurodivergence, but one thing I cannot and have not ever been able to understand is why being offended at something is considered such a cardinal sin.

For example, some of you may remember an advertisement campaign from Dr Pepper from the early 2010's that "Dr Pepper is not for women!". A friend of mine wrote a very lengthy, yet calmly and rather academically written essay on why this wasn't harmless fun, and actually quite damaging and misogynistic. She posted it on her blog and shared the link over social media, and everywhere people tore her to shreds for committing the cardinal sin of being offended by something.

That was it. They had no other argument on why her essay or points were wrong or bad other than "she's offended aha!!" and then acted like they totally just owned her and put her in her place by pointing this out. Am I missing something? Why is it worse to be offended than to be offensive?

If you step on my toes, and I yell "ouch!" would you take your foot off of mine and apologize, or would you mock me for being hurt by you stepping on my toes? In what bizarro world would we consider the person who yelled "ouch!" to be weak, or worthy of being mocked, or committing some cardinal offense for yelling "ouch!" instead of just being chill with someone standing on their toes?

its so fucked that not only did they erase our languages and beat and kill our people for using them but they stole the words of important tribes and important people and used them for the military and for trees and for food and for summer camps. average native american name is seen by non ntvs as a joke or something to use or consume, not a human being

[shadeslayer]

i like that ppl r thinking abt town names and things thats very good to be aware of but just to be clear this is actually specifically about other things actually, the things everyone but those looking up their nation forget about

sequoyah was the man who created the tsalagi syllabary before it was ever a tree

if i try to look for apparel or crafts to show off my chickasaw pride, i get results for chickasaw plums which is just a specific species of plum before i get results about human beings

others have mentioned if they google their nations name they get boot companies before their nations website!

theres a tweet that still haunts me that was about a Quirky Quasi American Restaurant in europe or somewhere that was being funny by being cowboy themed and their steaks were named after native american nations. even outside the usa we are nothing but literal dead meat for others consumption

"blackhawk" "apache" - fuck theres a whole wikipedia page for the way weve had our names used for weapons used to colonize and kill us and others!

yes talk about town and location names but you need to look farther than that. it gets so much worse, i promise
