devoting things to Dionysus is devoting your tiredness and low mental health but also that blissful thoughtless ecstasy devoting things to Dionysus is acting and performing a dramatized role for a deeper meaning most people are yet to uncover devoting things to Dionysus is respecting the old and the young, the traitors and the victims devoting things to Dionysus is knowing chaos had to come from order which was broken and beaten devoting things to Dionysus is knowing all good things take time to grow like fermented wine devoting things to Dionysus is knowing at times you need to start all over and rebirth devoting things to Dionysus is knowing just like the saying "its not about the destination but the journey" could be applied to travel but also life

I've seen this saying being passed around a few times. Not sure where it is from, but I love it:

If you don't know who to pray to, then pray to Hermes. Even if he cannot help you, he knows someone who can.

Absolutely be political in your worship.

Aphrodite isn't called Pandemos (of All People) so you can sit around and let the big names capitalise love and serve it only to those who can afford to pay past the persecution. Hermes isn't called Oeopolus (Shepherd) so you can sit around and let a bunch of power-hungry wolves lead a flock of influencable sheep. Apollo isn't called Paean (Healer) so you can sit around while wealthy corporations serve healthcare only to those who can afford not to die. Athena isn't called Ambulia (Counsellor) so you can sit around while the people are being fed propaganda against each other to divert them from the real enemy at the top. Dionysus isn't called Eleuthereus (the Liberator) so you can sit around while freedom is only granted to those whose skins have the acceptable colour while the others die in chains. Zeus isn't called Xenios (of the Foreigners) so you can sit around while the borders are closed to those who need it and only open to those who can give back the money.

The Gods stand with the oppressed, and so should you.

the year is 2035. the new beauty standard is for women to cut their ears off, as ears are a masculine trait which make the face look too big and hearing isnt necessary as it doesnt align with being demure. evil feminists say perhaps this is unnecessary and ears are natural. women are agressively proclaiming they are cutting their ears off due to sensory issues

controversial stance but i do wish i could live forever. i certainly live like i'm going to live forever. i take my time. realistically however my lifespan is dreadfully limited and there are things i've "been meaning to do" that i will never get around to. the Emoji Movie came out almost 10 years ago. in all that time on any random day i could've decided to sit down and watch it, and i did not. how many more decades will slip by like this? conceivably, it could be all the decades i have left. watching the Emoji Movie would not be, after all, a crucial use of my time. much better things to do. i could easily postpone it over and over and over until my final breath where it may not even register to me that i never did watch the Emoji Movie. no great loss, certainly; and yet i find myself intrigued by Patrick Stewart's involvement

I’m sorry my lovelies but the reason you hate yourself is because you treat you like shit. If you came up to me and then told me I was a fuck up who could never do anything right I'd fucking hate you too.

[robotslenderman]

if you didn't let me go to bed until after midnight because you'd rather watch Netflix than let me rest, and then got mad at me for not being productive the next day I'd be PISSED

[robotslenderman]

You keep calling me a fatass but you tell other overweight people they’re beautiful? Why do you keep shitting on MY weight, then?

Oh? It’s different if it’s me? Wow fuck you too

[robotslenderman]

Love is a verb! Self love isn’t a warm fuzzy feeling, it is compassion and action in support of yourself!

And yes, this includes having compassion for the bully in your head. Unfortunately that part is also you and deserves as much of your understanding as the rest of you.

This is the real reason why you need to be kind to the bully in your brain too, because that motherfucker is really good at doing a switcheroo when you're not paying attention.

Self compassion is a bitch but it'll save your life

religion is so fucking funny the world is just too beautiful there must be a higher entity behind all this. lets oppress women

if one were thinking of getting into wicca, what might one do? (resources, rituals(?), supplies, etc)

[hearthhuntescasty]

Totally read Scott Cunningham's work, any of them. He was a very strong influence for Wiccan witchcraft. I'm not wiccan myself, but in my research I've read a fair bit. Currently reading Scott Cunningham's Living Wicca, and I do recommend it but not as a baby book (maybe like. After reading your first baby Wicca 101 book. No harm if you did read it first really. He just specifically doesn't go into basic definitions. But it's a perfect book for developing your wiccan craft in detail).

Deborah Blake has some wonderful spell books, I'll even share a file of one of her spell books for you if you're short on book cash. She says her "Modern Witchcraft" is her favorite, I wasn't real impressed but I should finish it before I say anything. I can lead you to a podcast she was on if you desire. (I thought her definitions in the initial text were cliche and mildly incorrect. But her work is generally fun.)

Wiccapedia by Shawn robbins and Leanna Greenway was my first ever introduction to witchcraft (paired with my father pointing out how this woman clearly has some kind of mental health thing when it comes to some of her story in the intro about being able to see things. But now he uses a greateful dead tarot deck I bought him so it's good while me and his wife discuss Imbolic ideas, so it's all good. )

It's a very interesting book with a lot of ideas I haven't really seen discussed elsewhere in books. It's a unique read at least by what I've ended up reading. Although isn't really the most ideal beginner book either.
