I am the Sphynx Cat

I am the Sphynx Cat I am the bizarre. I am the "hideous." I am the curious, warm intelligence. I am the rare, lost breed. I cannot help but be me, and someday, someone will embrace me in all my strangeness and never let me go.

a man: men now have to think before they speak, they are afraid to be criticized or accused of something, can we believe that we have to live like this now?? uwu

all the women that had to grown up being super self-aware of what they wear, what they think, what they say, how they act, where they are, with whom, etc in every aspect of their life, all the time, in this sexist society (especially women of color, non-straight women and trans women): good. finally you all have to learn how to behave.

The stolen moment that is fanfiction.

The truth is, reality is never be as good as the imagined.

After all, how can Tinder swipes measure up to the century-enduring love between @cesperanza​‘s Steve and Bucky? Who would venture to Valhalla to retrieve your soul like @astolat’s Loki, because to live without Thor would simply be no life? 

I suppose, that’s the reason fiction exists in general. To transport us from the mundane –the obligations, the false cheers, the crushing weight of responsibilities– to universes written in stars. Give me “cinnamon and cloves, rare red meat and wines as sweet as summer.” Give me a wedding in the forest clearing, between ancient yew trees, deep in July. 

But then, you’d have to wonder –who’s got the short end of the stick: Is it the fictional protagonists who’s been through hell and then some? Or is it the writer, who can dream a thousand universes, only to be stuck with the reality of the mundane? Credits: “4 Minute Window” by @cesperanza​ “Revelations” by @astolat​ “On Fantasy” by George R. R. Martin “Deep July” by Lomonaaeren

Prompt: Bucky and Steve wakes up as Sebastian Stan and Chris Evans, actors playing fictional characters of themselves on the silverscreen.

That would be some kinda cool Inception wank. Any takers?

We need to talk about Reputation’s “Getaway Car”

If you haven’t heard the song by now, “Getaway Car” is the 9th track on Taylor’s newest album, Reputation. The lyrics describe the transitioning of her relationship from Scottish DJ Calvin Harris to British actor Tom Hiddleston, and how she met the latter at the Met Gala (“The ties were black, the lies were white / In shades of grey in candlelight.”). We are told that the relationship with Calvin was on the decline (“X marks the spot where we fell apart/He poisoned the well, I was lyin' to myself”) and she “wanted to leave him, [but] needed a reason.” Tom became the metaphorical vehicle to transport her away from her relationship troubles (“You were drivin' the getaway car”), although Taylor warns her listeners early on that the romance would not have any longevity, “We were flyin’, but we'd never get far.” However, as the story unfolds, it becomes clear that Tom was blindsided when their romance abruptly ended (“It hit him like a shotgun shot in the dark.”) Basically, Taylor explains to Tom that it shouldn’t have been a mystery how their romance ended, as it was doomed from the start (“a circus ain't a love story.”) A few realizations here: 1. While Taylor does not take kindly to others cheating on her (see: "Should Have Said No," "Style," etc)...she does the same to someone else. Taylor essentially admitted to cheating on Calvin with Tom, and Tom seemingly went along with it. 2. Taylor has sung at length about terrible treatment by past lovers....yet does the same to someone else. In "Getaway Car," Taylor argues that Tom should have known that he was a fling. And how does she let him know that? By visiting his mother in the U.K., spending time with his family, celebrating Independence Day together, staying with him in Australia while he’s filming...just typical nonchalance for when you want to let someone know that you’re not that interested, ya know? And when rumors surfaced that Tom was the one insistent on being so public with their romance, she “switched to the other side/To the other side.” As in, she didn’t object to this version of the narrative, because they were both guilty of betrayal (“It's no surprise I turned you in/'Cause us traitors never win.”) Beyond the breakup, the romance left Tom’s reputation in ruins more than Taylor’s. As if that wasn’t enough, now millions worldwide will be bopping to “Getaway Car,” cementing Tom’s legacy of being “the one who got played.” Even Taylor Lautner got an apology (see: “Back to December”)! #JusticeForTom, TBH. So. While I adore the irresistible tune that is “Getaway Car,” Taylor -giiiiiiiiiirl- how could you play with someone’s heart, game your romance to your advantage, debase his reputation even further, and still sing the line, “all I think about is karma” in good faith? While I love Taylor’s bops just as much as other Swifties, I can’t condone this hypocritical behavior. I hope she found the right one in Joe, and get the karma she deserves.

Invoking sacred space (and why it’s important)

Invoking sacred space is completely necessary before any kind of prayer, spellwork, and other energy stuff. I’m practiced enough at it that I can do it in only a few seconds. I also do this before training in any kind of martial art.

See, what you’re doing is banishing anything unwanted, asking for the space you’re working in to be blessed, asking for protection. It also gets the gods’ attention. Even non-shamans can do this.

It’s worth noting that isn’t just useful for spell-work, but any place where you want protection. The candle isn’t even 100% necessary here UNLESS YOU ARE WORKING WITH SPELLS.

Go, do it. It’s important to not be vulnerable and it’s basically powerful short-term AoE protective spell which draws upon the power of the Council of the Seasons, not you (so you’re not drained).

What you need (essential): - A moment to sit and focus. - Make sure you are not facing a mirror

What would help (optional but useful): - An altar to pray towards, even just a candle - Something that helps you get into the right relaxed headspace.

How to: 1. Light your candle(s), incense, and set up your focus point/altar. Turn any electrical lights off. 2. Close your eyes. Take a few deep, slow breaths and be aware of your body and the glow of the candles. Focus inwards. 3. Open your eyes. Extend your index and middle finger of your dominant hand. This is your sacred sword. A blessed knife will also do. Instructions will assume you are right-handed. Flip if left. 4. Hold your ‘sword’ at your left hip, sheathed like a katana. Prepare to cut the five elements: earth, water, fire, air, void. 5. You’re going to cut a pentagram into the air in front of you. DO NOT DO THIS IN FRONT OF A MIRROR OR YOU WILL CUT YOURSELF. Are you ready? Hold your ‘sword’, this should be a fluid motion at any speed. 6. Cut up to in front of your third eye in front of you with the feeling of earth. If it helps, you can say it. 7. Cut down to in front of your right hip with the feeling of water. If it helps, you can say it. 8. Cut up and across to in front of your left shoulder with the feeling of fire. If it helps, you can say it. 9. Cut horizontally to in front of your right shoulder with the feeling of air. If it helps, you can say it. 10. Cut back down to in front of your left hip with the feeling of void. If it helps, you can say it. 11. Cut a circle around your pentagram, binding the elements together. 12. Take a breath in, focus on your sword, and then pierce the centre of the pentagram with an upwards motion. You are sending your circle up to heaven. When I do this, I was taught to say to myself (silently): shiki, which means to stab. 13. Clap once, bow to your altar 14. Clap twice, bow to your altar. Your sacred space is invoked. The gods are listening. Anything unwanted is banished.

A Samhain Blessing

May the turning of the Wheel bring you peace and joy, may you find success in every ploy. May flowers bloom at your feet, and no misfortune should you meet. The days go on, the veil has thinned, so let the hallows dance begin! Happy Halloween and blessed Samhain!

Subtle Witch Tips - Samhain

The witches’ new year is almost upon us~

Once again I’ve created a list of subtle witch tips for folks who are looking to celebrate the holiday in a more low-key manner. 

🎃 Jack-o’-Lantern Spells - There are a whole bunch of them all over witchblr these days, but here are a couple you can do with herbs found around your house: add rosemary to your candle to protect your home, add allspice to attract money and good luck in the new year, use cilantro for a peaceful home, and mint can be used to promote positive energy. Mix and match to create custom blends / spells - but be sure not to burn anything toxic - especially if you’ll be keeping your jack-o’-lanterns inside. Alternatively you can carve sigils into the candles instead of (or in addition to) using herbs to the same end.

🎃 Cook a deceased family member / friend’s recipe or favorite meal. If you’re unable to do a full dumb supper, this can be a great way to connect with those who have passed on. Light your hearth candle, get cooking, and who knows - you might even have a few unseen visitors stopping by to see what’s cooking.

🎃 Put a little extra TLC into the mementos / photos of the deceased around your home. Maybe this means dusting grandma’s wedding photo, or bringing your great aunt’s embroidered throw pillows out for a night on the couch. Either way you can subtly surround yourself with these items without having to formally set up an ancestor altar or give explicit offerings. 

🎃 Make a playlist of songs that remind you of those you’ve lost. Take time to dance and remember all the wonderful moments you got to share. Pay attention and you just might notice that you have a captive audience beyond the veil. To everyone else it’ll look like you’re just jamming out to some of your favorite tunes, but you’ll know that on this special day it’s something more.

🎃 Take time out of your busy schedule to have a quiet meditation session. Perhaps you can spend the time trying to connect with your ancestors, or you could use it as a time to reflect on the past year and set intentions for the new year.

Wishing you all a safe & happy Samhain!

🕯Have a wonderful Samhain everyone🕯
