Old ideas that still apply
It is a foolish man who speaks ill of his kings wives. For they hold true power.
glassy-eyed, he stares until as dark as night the look slips from admiration to lust.Â
and only then, the release to be what he is. only in the darkest depths of depravity; original sin a mere murmur upon his lips....
affection, sensual, carnal. and steamy kisses turn to tastes of salacious yearning meant to satiate the craved.Â
meant to serve the need.Â
only upon each other can castigation be complete.Â
and love me, he murmurs as pain pours like poison upon rapture. and after, when glassy-eyed once more and sweat glistens in hollows, highlights crevaces...he promises in pretty lies.Â
swears with words that twist even as they cross his lips. and knowing. understanding. supporting. she agrees. always. forever.
Soul Mate
My soul wants relief
from the moment of first love
first abandon
the first realization that every breath is his
Knowing that life is not well-lived unless lived together
Tortured with knowing
what can never be
Loving a fall from grace
is too easy
Yet still
I catch his gaze across the room
and he smiles at me
why can this love never truly be?
Constrained
Chained
Burdened with a purpose
that reality
Driven
to succeed
to achieve
to prove others wrong
and where does that leave us at the end?
Longing
wishful
regret
Meshed despite life
truly one with another
two halves of the whole
that serves as one soul
Severed long ago
Left to turn
to burn
to seek
where others sought
before us
I'm still here
I shriek
your soul answers in the void
Yes
When my heart hurts because my coreâŠby beingâŠmy life as a Lokean⊠has been attackedâŠI continue. I persevere. I continue. Because I am His. I am Lokean. I am. And despite what others may think. Despite what others may wish or want or hope from meâŠmy role, at the end of the day, is ambassador in His name. And you may attack me, you may disagree, you may try to hurt me, you may ostracize me, you may condemn me. But I persevere because I am. I am Lokean. I am strong. I am a survivor. I am one with my god. And disagreement is as natural to my spirit and my soul as water is to fish and air is to bird. I will continue with or without you. But I will never accept those who do not question their own validity in my name.
Lately Loki has been asking me to create an indoor altar. Weâre still unpacking and renovating the new house so itâs a work in progress to say the least. I thought it fitting to stick Lokiâs space atop the wine rack. And there he shall remain, I do believe.
I spend a fair amount of time teaching women to kick men in the balls, and Iâve learned that this activity tends to generate controversy. Here, according to actual adults who have actually said these things to me, are some reasons you should not kick a guy in the balls:
1. It will make him angry.
I should hope so. Iâm not sending him a friend request. If I kick him hard enough, thereâs a good chance Iâll render him unable to act upon his anger. Thatâs my goal. His feelings are his problem.
2. It will make him hurt you worse.
Statistics say otherwise. And anyway, heâs already demonstrated his desire to hurt me. Why should I give him carte blanche to decide how much heâs going to hurt me? Iâd rather be an active participant in that decision-making process.
3. Groin kicks arenât really that devastating; Iâve seen lots of guys get hit in the balls and it hardly fazed them.
This response (almost universally from men) is so common Iâve come to think of it as âgroinsplainingââyou can see it many of the YouTube comments in the videos linked above. These people rarely volunteer to demonstrate their own iron balls in a real kicking situation, but they confidently assert that men in general can shrug off all kinds of damage to the groin. All I can say is, Iâve seen two-year-olds take down grown men via the groin, and toddlers donât even have any training. I do. I like my odds.
4. We shouldnât be teaching people how to kick men in the balls; we should be teaching men not to do anything that would make us have to kick them in the balls.
Hey, thatâs a great idea! Do you have a detailed, research-based plan for teaching all men everywhere to behave themselves all the time? And do you have funding for your efforts, and buy-in from politicians and community leaders, and a network of trained, experienced instructors who can effect this change? If not, better get started on your grant proposal. In the meantime, Iâll just be over here teaching people how to kick guys in the balls. Thatâs what I do.
5. Telling people they should kick an assailant in the balls is the same as telling victims who didnât kick their assailant in the balls that they did something wrong.
No, it isnât. Itâs a practical way to reduce the number of future victims by giving them more viable options to disrupt and survive an assault.
Fact: We have the power to damage the bodies of men who try to hurt us. Youâre saying we shouldnât let people use that power. Iâm offering people more choices; youâre trying to take them away.
6. Kicking a guy in the balls just makes the world a more violent place.
Maybe, in the short term. But if it stops him from killing someone, or putting them in the hospital, isnât that a net win for non-violence? The Dalai Lama thinks so.
One in four women will have good reason to kick a guy in the balls at some point in her life. Luckily, itâs not rocket science. Anyone can do it! And ball-kickingâs efficacy is beyond dispute, as the men of MMA so nobly helped us illustrate here. Gentlemen, if any of you are reading this, and conscious: Cheers, and get well soon (the non-wife-beaters among you, anyway).
AIA REPORTING FOR DUTY
okay, so!
There is a trick to it. You do NOT want to soccer kick the dude because thatâs a little projectile aiming at a littler target.
Itâll do in a pinch, and itâll hurt, but it wonât incapacitate, which is what you want. You donât want âouch!â Or even âFUCK!â
You want him puking on the floor, and this is how we do:
Thereâs two ranges where a groin kick works: close and mid-range.
Say someone grabs you face to face, or pins you to the wall, and your hands are blocked. Now youâre close-range. What do you do? You come in closer, as close as you can, and with every ounce of adrenaline and aggression in your body, you do a can-can kick.
You know the first step in the can-can, where you raise your knee up as high as itâll go as strong as you can?
Do that, as hard as you can, repeatedly.
If that doesnât work, hereâs the alternative. Youâre going to take your hand, grasp between the thighs underhand. Its going to feel like youâre âcradlingâ the testicles. Dig your fingertips into the fragile skin BEHIND the scrotum. Then, once you have a good grip, you turn your hand into a vise, with your fingers digging inwards to the material. If you do it right, you should feel the testes INSIDE the scrotum. You want, whenever possible, to hook your fingers under them.
Then, with your hands in a claw and your fingertips latched behind the testes, you turn your hand sharply, as though you were turning a doorknob. Simultaneously, haul your elbow back and up as hard as you can.
If done properly, this technique can tear the scrotal tissue, and done with enough force, can tear the testes out of your attackerâs body.
No matter HOW pissed he is, heâs gonna drop. Iâve tried this technique on guys wearing cups and even with protection, it is not a fun feeling.
If youâre mid-range and have enough room for a kick, the goal becomes to use your shin. The shin is actually called the tibia, which ounce for ounce is one of the strongest bones in your body. So, hereâs what you do, my little bloodthirsty beaus:
You aim, you scream âDO NOT COME CLOSER I SAID NO!â (legal purposes, because now youâre officially exercising your right to self-defence). Maintain a 360 degree awareness, just in case he has friends, and then, when heâs close enough, connect your shin full on soccer kick with the delicate squish of his testicles.
What you want is as much upwards force as possible in combination with as much momentum as you can manage. When he collapses, which he will, then stomp on his groin again, and then run.
The latter has less of a trick to it. Itâs primarily about momentum and force.
Remember, if youâre close enough to put your hands on him, use your knee. If heâs coming at you, use your shin.
If you can smell the nachos he had for dinner, rip his fucking balls off.
Itâs easy to do, theyâre tiny little squishiness wrapped in a delicate flap of skin about as thin as a toenail.
Remember: if heâs coming at you, heâs ALREADY out to hurt you. Might as well give the fucker a reason to be pissed.
How to Kick a Guy in the Balls: An Illustrated Guide
Someone once told me that the way to train a proper knee in the groin (with appropriate aggression if you want to hurt him enough to let you go is to train and act as if youâre not aiming your knee at the groin, but aiming for somewhere much higher so that your mind knows to really ram your knee upward.
A male friend of a friend of the family once generously and kindly advised me that if anyone with nuts ever got up on me without me wanting him to do so, to âgrab his balls as hard as you can, squeeze, and yank away from his body until they feel like marmalade. Then run.â I have never forgotten this advice.
My self-defense trainer used to say: âEyes are like grapes. Ears are like pull tabs. And if youâre going to grab some, girls - grab, pull, twist, and bring those balls home to Mama.â âŠI really need to embroider that on a cushion.

Reblog if you are a Pagan willing to answer any questions about your practice without hate, ridicule, sarcasm, or superiority.
Not pagan but yes this as long the question isnt insulting me
All every one of my followers will agree that I always answer questions to the best of my knowledge. I always have ans always will answer questions with smile and grace
I will always try to answer as well as I can, and no question is a stupid question!
I just had a thought. Like how weird is it that we can interact with the gods? Iâm just sitting here thinking about how cool that is. Me coming up to beings like Loki and Hermes and Bastet and bringing little gifts to share. Iâm trying to understand what that looks like to them, even though I canât. Iâm just seeing the tiny child of another species coming up to me with like their peopleâs equivalent of half a bar of chocolate and a soda pop and saying âHi my name is X, I really like what Iâve heard about you. I brought some snacks to share. Can we be friends?â Thatâs so amazing and heartwarming.
eyy if youâre a polytheist / pagan / magic user / diviner and not a racist or transphobe, pls like or reblog this so i can follow u
(can my mutuals pls reblog this so itâll spread pls and thanks)
Lokean here
âŠAnd he talked with me as we walked the worlds where all were one.
And he asked of me, âYou see this reality and believe it to be impossible?â
And I replied, âYes, for the old gods and the old ways are dead and those who follow them will never be numerous enough to fill even a single nation with as many believers as Jehovah has in all his followers, no matter which prophet they follow.â
And he said to me, âAnd yet, your numbers grow by the day. Imagine a world where the childrenâs children, the followers of a different path, grow up to believe not in one God with many prophets but many gods with only themselves to hold accountable for how the world works. Could they not all stand side-by-side and proclaim a pantheon more multitudinous than the stars and still be right?â
And we walked a while in the companionable silence born of long knowledge of one anotherâs hearts and minds. We passed women working, heads bowed in sorrow, and men who struggled to find where they belong.
And I said to him, âWho are we to say what is right? Who are we to proclaim any possible future?â
And he replied, âI am who I have always been. I am light that shines in the darkest of corners and forces transformation. I am your god and you are mine. I will aid your hands when they provide comfort to those outcast and ostracized, those lost and confused. I love you but I cannot protect you should you take up the causes of the weary and abused. But, I will lift them up with you. And one day, who is to say? Perhaps those visions of a people united as one beneath pantheons of us will not come to pass?â
And I contemplated his words. And I peered at the worlds as they are, and the worlds he had shown.
And I knew that we are enough, those uncounted among the masses, who will bring forth change in this world.
âIt will not be easy,â he said, to bring me out of my reverie. âAnd it will not be fast. But it will come with each day that you chip away at the blocks built high by those who do not want to see. And you create the gaps where the light shines in. And in the end, is that not all that matters? Your work today rearranges reality into possibility and possibility into reality. Now walk with me. Come and see all the work to be done.â
