It's fun being queer and weird and unconventional until you remember you live in a society
advice for alterhumans : build your territory
you don’t need a forest or mountains.
territory can be a chair by the window.
a walking route you take every evening.
going to the same coffee play everyday -
return to the same places. sit there regularly. let your body recognize : this is mine. this is safe. this is my territory -
territory isn’t about ownership. it’s about familiarity. a space where your nervous system doesn’t have to stay alert.
wild animals don’t wander endlessly. they move within a range they know. create places your body can come back to. create something thats yours.
it can be as simple as a place in your room. make it accessible for you. make it yours. 🐾 💫

The best people in the spiritual community are the ones who are super tolerant about other peoples' practices. Like spirituality is very personal and complex so just because you personally don't understand it doesn't mean it's insane, and the best people you know will live by that.
Get yourself someone who doesn't question godspousing. Who's intrigued by you mixing practices, like Christopaganism or Hellenic Buddhism, instead of judging you. Who will look at a chaos magician practicing pop culture paganism and just go on with their day. We need spiritual folks who look at differences and just go

a gentle reminder when it feels like nothing is happening.
nothing happening on the outside does not mean nothing is happening.
think about how a bone heals. you can't feel it knitting itself back together. you can't see it.
from the outside everything looks the same. but deep inside, something is building itself back stronger than it was before.
your reality is the same. the silence isn't absence. it's construction. things are being arranged in ways your eyes can't see yet.
the sign that it's working is not always a big dramatic shift. sometimes the sign is simply that you woke up today and you still believe. that quiet, stubborn belief — that is the most powerful thing you have.
keep it. protect it. let it be enough for today.

Something I don’t think is talked about in the alterhuman community is how awkward it is to not be human. Cuz like. I am. Biologically I’m human, my brain is human, my blood is human, I don’t have wings or paws or claws or anything about that, so no I don’t care if you call me human because I am. But also I’m not? And it’s such a weird intersection that I never know what to call myself or refer to myself as. This isn’t really a massive part of my everyday life so I’m not always thinking about what I should call myself. Am I a bird am I a dog at I human it doesn’t really matter because my body is human and my mind is human but also I’m not and I wish I wasn’t. I dunno it’s just hard and awkward sometimes
I think it goes unsaid that a lot of folk magic is extremely regional to small localities. I practice swedish folk magic, but there's a lot of variation within the same country (in people, climate, landscape, traditions, etc.). it's something I think a lot on, when it comes to predicting future weather/seasons depending on the whether on a certain date. would these dates still be magically relevant to divining weather away from the locality that the beliefs originated from? I'm not convinced, and I think it would take years of developing a relationship with the land you're on and becoming intimate with the patterns of the land to be able to recreate this practice elsewhere
I am with you on this. My own familial practice is diasporic with my family no longer residing in Europe. My grandmother taught me weather predictions on a day to day basis and she would always say things like "It used to be that we would look for the willow warbler to predict the rain. But here, you can look for the house finch." It stands to reason that, while it's possible to perform weather divination anywhere by paying attention, it would take a lot of time and journaling and connecting with the land to do so on a predictable and applicable basis with annual divinations just because there is mush less opportunity to interact with and test the annual patterns.

yes everyone plz add the weather divination you grew up with!! I'm so fascinated!!
I live in the pacific northwest, near the coast. When we see seagulls coming inland, we know there's a rainstorm out on the ocean headed our direction.
I didn't grow up with this, but I figured it'd be nice to share this old saying from Finland!
"Kuu kiurusta kesään,
puoli kuuta peipposesta,
västäräkistä vähäsen,
pääskysestä ei päivääkään."
"A moon from the lark to summer,
a half-moon from the finch,
a little from the wren,
not a day from the swallow. "
This is not entirely true anymore because of climate change....
here in old Appalachia we rely on the wooly worms to tell us what the years weather will look like
more black on the caterpillar means bad months and harsh weather, and more brown/orange is clear skies ahead
we’ve been watching the wooly worms as long as they have existed in these mountains
my great grandma swore that if it was raining from a bright sunny sky it was going to rain at the same time the next day.
My grandma taught me that if the leaves of the trees are pale side up it means there will be a bad storm
boss... youre gonna wanna see this one (holds up drawing of a really epic awesome dragon)
The boulder pushing punishment is iconic. But I think more people should know the reason Sisyphus was punished to begin with, which was for cheating death, twice.
The first time he cheated death, Sisyphus had just angered Zeus by revealing the location of the Asopid Aegina whom Zeus abducted. Which is super valid, fuck Zeus.
Sisyphus knew that Zeus would send the god of death Thanatos after him, so he prepared a trap and trapped Thanatos in the chains meant for him.
After that, nothing on Earth was able to die so long as Thanatos was in chains. Which meant no animals could be sacrificed to the gods. This angered the gods, who made Sisyphus' life so miserable with pain and illness that he would beg for death. And so he released Thanatos.
But then came the second time Sisyphus cheated death. As he was dying, he asked his wife to dump his naked corpse in the middle of the public square. Denied a proper burial, his soul ended up on the far side of the river Styx, unable to cross.
He complained to Hades and Persephone about how his wife disrespected him, and begged them to let him return briefly to the world of the living to scold her and make her bury him properly. They agreed, and Sisyphus returned to life. He then embraced his wife, and refused to return to the Underworld.
It's only when he finally died of old age that he was sent to Tartarus and punished with the boulder.
I don't remember where I've seen it, but I like the interpretation that Sisyphus doesn't have to push the boulder. He can choose to stay in Tartarus and rest. But he was promised that if he managed to push the boulder to the top of the mountain, he'll ascend to Elysium.
And Sisyphus, in his stubbornness and cleverness, refuses to give up on a challenge.
One must indeed imagine Sisyphus happy, planning and scheming about how he'll cheat the gods next.
