some of you have GOT to get comfortable with lying and situational morality and i'm not kidding

The sea is a temple. The woods are a temple. Your own bedroom is a temple. The world is imbued with the spiritual. Worship is an act, not a place, and it can happen spontaneously, in reaction to the beauty of a moment.

Human relationships are not transactional but they are reciprocal, which I think many of you with your ‘i don’t owe anyone anything’ shtick are too happy to forget

Transactional: everything has to be exactly 50/50 all the time, pay me back for the £5 sandwich or buy me something worth exactly £5, I refuse to make an effort for you if there’s nothing in it for me

Reciprocal: you were there for me when I needed help, and I’m going to do the same for you, it doesn’t matter if one of us needs more or is capable of less, because the point is not equivalent exchange but mutual care

Herb of the Week

Mugwort

🌿Folk Names: wormwood, crone wort

🌿Planet: Moon

🌿Element: Air

🌿Deities: Artemis, Hecate/Hekate

🌿Health Benefits: supporting menstrual health, helps digestion, and helps reduce anxiety and depression. Mugwort also isn’t safe for pregnancies. Pregnant people will be fine, but it’s not safe for pregnancies. Take that as you will.

🌿Powers: sleep, health, protection, travel, psychic abilities, dream work, and lucid dreaming.

🌿Magical Uses: Mugwort can be used to create a protective perimeter around protective spaces.

If you want to promote lucid dreaming, make mugwort tea before bed or put a sachet of the herb under your pillow.

Carry a sachet of mugwort when you go on long trips to ensure safe travel.

Smudge yourself with mugwort to keep the doctor away.

(Psst, i really like mugwort tea but be sure to let it soak in a hot water bath before drying and steeping to get rid of the bitter taste.)

Happy witching!!

In retrospect, one thing I kinda like in ATLA is how Zuko never tells the gaang how he got his scar.

It would have been cool to see their reactions to Zuko's story and see how their perspective on Zuko changed. And I have no doubt that he tells them about it at some point. But this way, it doesn't come off as emotional blackmail, with him trying to paint his actions as 'Yes, I hunted you across the world, but I actually had a really good reason."

If he did, he might have had a better chance of joining the Gaang, but he doesn't. In traditional Zuko fashion, he takes the most challenging route possible.

Zuko takes full accountability for his actions, even though they came from a place where he felt he had no choice. Because at the end of the day, he realized that even though his father put him on his avatar's path, he was the one who zealously attacked them at every opportunity. He isn't letting himself off the hook for anything.
