Emerson's gay little magic blog. Instead of using real candles I draw them on paper and think really hard.

by 2027 every professional baseball team will have their own designated mage. by 2030 the baseball will be rendered obsolete and we will have televised wizard duels on ESPN

ancestor worship appeals to me in a very specific, narrow way. I could never do it in a general sense because I don’t really trust that the majority of my ancestors would like me. my brother‘s been getting into genealogy and it pisses me off to no end that he focuses only on one or two narrow branches and I’m like DUDE fuck these guys with our last names can we talk about their wives or something like there was probably maybe one spinster niece that I could chill with, but I don’t trust that there’s an accurate way to learn about them. I could try. I could also make up a spinster niece ancestor. does that even count as an ancestor? If we’re limiting these things to just those guys who fucked then I think I’m out

There are two paths to magic: Imagination and paying attention. Imagination is the fiction we love, the truths built of falsehoods, glowing dust on the water’s surface. Paying attention is about intentional noticing, participating in making meaning to lend new weight to our world. An acorn. The geometry of a beehive. The complexity of whale song. The perfect slowness of a heron.

Spiritual fucking experience at the portable toilet Jesus Christ. These are worthy of worship

Pain relief of any kind is always holy (see: patron saint of expired ibuprofen) but specifically sanctuary when you need it the absolute worst? When there is no other option? When you are physically about to burst and unable to keep yourself from a corporeal state that’s just kind of unthinkable, unimaginable, for the self-confident able-bodied adult? The absolute lack of control, the illumination of exactly how fragile your pride is. Humbling yourself enough to find relief in what you wouldn’t have considered an option a hour ago. Realizing how close you were to an incredibly bad public experience. There is no bathroom here. But there is a porta-potty across the road.

Does anyone have a favorite bravery spell or potion they’d be willing to share? Asking for a friend (the friend is my trembling heart)

also sorry for not just going into the tag and seeing what’s already there. I think I’m looking for connection

The berry pickers creed

I will leave unripened berries untouched

A ripe berry need only be negotiated with, not fought

I will reasses my surroundings after every step, for my new perspective could reveal a berry patch previously hidden to me

The plant gets excited and happy when a barry is picked

The bug is not to be feared or killed, but gently celebrated, for it facilitated in the creation of the beloved berrys

I will not allow myself to be bullied by sharp thicket and I will retrieve even the most protected barry

the problem with learning shorthand is that it basically makes any set of long squiggles look like words so you will be trying to read the floaters in your eyes while you’re in the shower. on the bright side i may have invented a new form of divination.
