which one of u was going to tell me that tea tastes different if u put it in hot water?
y- you were putting it in cold water?????
Radish. Answer the question radish.
yeah??? i thought for like. 5 years that ppl just put it in hot water 2 speed up the tea-ification process didn’t realize there was an actual reason
You dont have the patience to microwave water for 3 minutes???
[ID: Tags reading “u think i have the patience to boil water wtf ?????” /End ID]
why are you. putting it in the microwave to boil it
Do you think I have the patience to boil water on the stove
Its takes less than a minute
Bestie is ur stovetop powered by the fucking sun
How long does it take you to boil a cup of water on the stove
Like seven minutes
Just stick the mug on top of the stove on medium heat n it boils in like two minutes… less than that is u use a saucepan…
Crying you’re putting the whole mug on the stove ???? On medium heat???? Ur stove is enchanted
Every single person in this post is a fucking lunatic
Yet another post that reads like four shakespeare characters who come out in the middle of the play to talk about something completely unrelated for comic relief
(Enter RADISHN’T, MOTHMAN MISATO, BOIMG FROG and CATS'N RAINCOATS, stage left. They are having a HEATED DISCUSSION.)
RADISHN’T: Prithee, which one of you had planned to tell
Of diff'rent flavours gained by simple act
Of brewing tea with water hot, not cold?
MOTHMAN: Egad! you poured the water cold? Wherefore?!
FROG: An answer from you, Radish, I must beg.
RADISHN’T: Indeed I did, dear friends - why does this shock?
Without the guide of others I assumed
That heat was merely added for the sake
Of expediting this solution’s brewing!
Half a decade I have spent, or more,
Not questioning this worldview I had made.
In fact, I am myself a bit surprised
That you might think that I, your dearest friend,
Might have a patience of sufficient stock
To wait until a pot of water boils.
FROG: Three minutes overtaxes patience so?
The microwave will beep when it is done!
CATS'N: My friend, this answer vexes me the more!
Can it be true that thou dost boil by nuke?!
FROG: Are you in turn, my friend, so shocked to know
That I have not the patience, like our Root,
To boil upon the stove our favour’d drink?
CATS'N: It takes less than a minute!
FROG: On what plate?
Perhaps your dinner cooks atop the sun?
CATS'N: How long can take your stove to fill the task
Of boiling but a single cup alone?
FROG: In minutes?
CATS'N: Yes!
FROG: I counted seven, once.
CATS'N: Perhaps you ought to have your timepiece checked!
If on a middle heat you place the cup
You soon will have the scalding drink you crave.
Two minutes, in a mug upon the plate
Or even less, if you should have a pot.
FROG: You cause me tears - is this how thou dost live?
You place upon the iron stove a mug?
A mug, ceramic, filled with water cold?
How do these flames, though medium in height,
Not shatter like a glass this fragile thing?
Surely, then, your kitchen is bewitched
With magicks far beyond the mortal ken!
(The FOUR realise they have wandered into the THRONE ROOM. The ROYAL COURT watches with fascination.)
KING: Ev'ry single person in this group must be a fucking lunatic, it seems.
New Loki Find Just Dropped!
Sept 21, 2022
From Rune Rasmussen's Nordic Animism facebook page:
Just a couple of hours ago this amazing mask figuration was found at the ancient sacred site in Tissø on Zealand. Notice yet another one of the masks that appears to have torn lips. It has been speculated that these masks represent the trickster Loki whose lips where famously torn. Found by Flemming Fabriciusen-Nielsen.
I have so many questions about the funky hat he's wearing.
Why am I not in the forest, naked, dancing around a bonfire in the moonlight?
It's cold outside is my excuse.

The Morrígan - Masterpost
General Description
The Morrígan (Irish: Mór-Ríoghain) is an Irish goddess of death, war and prophecy.
In the myths, she would often appear to foretell the outcome of a battle or to foretell a doom. When appearing to someone, she would usually take another form which brings us to her next special ability, and that is shape-shifting.
She was a great shape-shifter. Her most famous shape is the one of a raven. Besides the raven, she would also appear as a beautiful maiden, an old hag, a wolf, an eel and a heifer.
The Morrígan is described as a very powerful and sometimes even erotic character. That is why a lot of people see her as a goddess of sovereignty, feminine energy and sexuality too.
A single deity or a trinity?
There is a discussion about whether The Morrígan is a single deity or a trinity consisting of a three different but closely related goddesses - Badb, Macha and Nemain.
In the myths, there is a great inconsistency when it comes to her names. It is stated that The Morrígan is a daughter of Ernmas, but Badb and Macha are also described as his daughters. So, it is possible that The Morrígan is a single deity, who then has two sisters.
However, there is also a theory where the three sisters, Badb, Macha and Anand, are collectively named as "The Morrígna", which would then make The Morrígan a trinity.
In Lebor Gabála Érenn it is stated: "Badb and Macha and Anand, of whom are the Paps of Anu in Luachar were the three daughters of Ernmas the she-farmer." (...) "Ernmas had other three daughters, Badb and Macha and Morrigu, whose name was Anand. Her three sons were Glon and Gaim and Coscar." (...) "Badb and Macha, greatness of wealth, Morrigu - springs of craftiness, sources of bitter fighting were the three daughters of Ernmas."
When it comes to me and my opinion:
I have always seen The Morrígan as a single deity, and not a trinity. Then, Badb, Macha and Nemain (or Morrigu or Anand - The Morrígan) could be single, separated deities, or they are just The Morrigan's different shapes, since she is a great shape-shifter, so they are actually different persons but in their core all of them are actually one person, The Morrígan - that (second) theory seems most logical to me.
I am talking highly theoretically here and theory is not always so important, especially not in Paganism. What matters are our experiences with the deities and our gut feeling, so I would say that you should go for a theory that seems more logical to you and that gives you a better "frame" for your spirituality.
Offerings
These are the offerings that I find suitable for The Morrígan:
Red Wine
Meat
Milk and Diary Products
Fish
Black Tea
Divination
Pictures or symbols of animals that The Morrígan shape-shifted to
Coffee
Dark/Bitter Chocolate
All red fruit and their juices

Passages from the myths
The Second Battle of Mag Tuired:
"Then she said to him, 'Undertake a battle of overthrowing.' The Morrigan said to Lug, 'Awake...'"
The Dagda had a house in Glen Edin in the north, and he had arranged to meet a woman in Glen Edin a year from that day, near the All Hallows of the battle. The Unshin of Connacht roars to the south of it. He saw the woman at the Unshin in Corann, washing, with one of her feet at Allod Echae (that is, Aghanagh) south of the water and the other at Lisconny north of the water. There were nine loosened tresses on her head. The Dagda spoke with her, and they united. "The Bed of the Couple" was the name of that place from that time on. (The woman mentioned here is the Morrigan). Then she told the Dagda that the Fomoire would land at Mag Ceidne, and that he should summon the aes dana of Ireland to meet her at the Ford of the Unshin, and she would go into Scetne to destroy Indech mac De Domnann, the king of the Fomoire, and would take from him the blood of his heart and the kidneys of his valor. Later she gave two handfuls of that blood to the hosts that were waiting at the Ford of the Unshin. Its name became "The Ford of Destruction" because of that destruction of the king."
"'And you, Morrigan,' said Lug, 'what power?' 'Not hard to say,' she said. 'I have stood fast; I shall pursue what was watched; I will be able to kill; I will be able to destroy those who might be subdued.'"
"Then the Morrigan the daughter of Ernmas came, and she was strengthening the Tuatha De to fight the battle resolutely and fiercely. She then chanted the following poem: 'Kings arise to the battle!' Immediately afterwards the battle broke, and the Fomoire were driven to the sea."
"Then after the battle was won and the slaughter had been cleaned away, the Morrigan, the daughter of Ernmas, proceeded to announce the battle and the great victory which had occurred there to the royal heights of Ireland and to its sid−hosts, to its chief waters and to its rivermouths. And that is the reason Badb still relates great deeds. 'Have you any news?' everyone asked her then.
'Peace up to heaven.
Heaven down to earth.
Earth beneath heaven,
Strength in each,
A cup very full,
Full of honey;
Mead in abundance.
Summer in winter,
Peace up to heaven.'
She also prophesied the end of the world, foretelling every evil that would occur then, and every disease and every vengeance; and she chanted the following poem:
'I shall not see a world
Which will be dear to me:
Summer without blossoms,
Cattle will be without milk,
Women without modesty,
Men without valor.
Conquests without a king...
Woods without mast.
Sea without produce...
False judgements of old men.
False precedents of lawyers,
Every man a betrayer.
Every son a reaver.
The son will go to the bed of his father,
The father will go to the bed of his son.
Each his brother's brother−in−law.
He will not seek any woman outside his house...
An evil time,
Son will deceive his father,
Daughter will deceive...'"
Táin Bó Cúalnge:
"It is the same day that the Morrigan, daughter of Ernmas, came from the Sid, so that she was on the pillar in Temair Cuailnge, taking a warning to the Dun of Cualnge before the men of Ireland, and she began to speak to him, and 'Good, O wretched one, O Dun of Cualnge,' said the Morrigan, 'keep watch, for the men of Ireland have reached thee, and they will take thee to their camp unless thou keepest watch'; and she began to take a warning to him thus, and uttered her words on high."
"Cuchulainn saw a young woman coming towards him, with a dress of every colour on, and her form very excellent."
"'I will be a help to you. … I shall be more troublesome to you,' said she, 'when I come against you when you are in combat against the men. I will come in the form of an eel about your feet in the ford, so that you shall fall."
"I will drive the cattle on the ford to you, in the form of a grey she-wolf."
"I will come to you in the form of a hornless red heifer before the cattle. They will rush on you on the plains(?), and on the fords, and on the pools, and you will not see me before you."
"When Cuchulainn was in this great weariness, the Morrigan met him in the form of an old hag, and she blind and lame, milking a cow with three teats, and he asked her for a drink. She gave him milk from a teat. Then her head was healed so that it was whole. She gave the milk of the second teat, and her eye was whole; and gave the milk of the third teat, and her leg was whole. So that this was what he said about each thing of them, 'A doom of blessing on you,' said he. 'You told me,' said the Morrigan, 'I should not have healing from you for ever.' 'If I had known it was you,' said Cuchulainn, 'I would not have healed you ever.'"

You’re the kindly old necromancer of the village. Everybody loves you for how you help out with your magic—reanimating people’s pets, partially animating the bones of the disabled so they may walk, and assisting people with their day-to-day tasks using your skeletons.
Hey. Don't support The Crowded Room. I don't care if Tom Holland is involved or not, Dissociative Identity Disorder (otherwise known as Multiple Personality Disorder, although that's an old diagnosis that doesn't even exist anymore) is a highly stigmitised mental disorder that is heavily linked to trauma, and media villianising the disorder is extremely harmful for systems everywhere. Don't give it your attention, don't give it your money. We do not need another Split.
Edit: Singlets (non-systems) have no right to talk over me, a system, here. Doing that will result in being blocked. You all may interact, but don't comment on it
there is also a petition to stop the release of it!
http://chng.it/8HKNwBLPdv
hey @ my singlet followers: you were all super helpful when it came to split's release and signal boosting how that movie was harmful. here's another example of the same shit, if you're an ally to systems please don't ignore it alright
TERMINOLOGY AND MAGIC
When it comes to magic, semantics can be frustratingly important. When it comes to magic, words are at their most powerful, and herein lies the reason that magic is considered a studious art. My two favorite examples of this are the terms Spirit Animal and Mana.
Spirit Animal is a term specific to the Anishinaabe people and their culture. The term does not apply to outsiders. The term was co-opted by american spiritualists in the pre-civil war era, but this does not mean that the term has lost its meaning. These tutelary spirits have watched over the Anishinaabe for millennia, and communion with a one is a rare and powerful thing.
Mana Is a concept in Polynesian cultures with no real parallel in other languages. It is a complex socio-spiritual concept combining elements of power, effectiveness, prestige, holiness, gravitas, and influence. It is determined by a combination of birthright and polynesian astrology.
The point to all of this is that if you use a word, you need to know what it means. Do your research, because if you dont, not only are you disrespecting a living, breathing culture, but you are probably pissing off the being you are trying to invoke and you deserve whatever comes from it.

Demonolatry
Lesson 1: study of Demons, their nature, the worship.
The word "demon" (from the Latin and Greek) originally meant a divine intelligence replete with wisdom (δαιμον, daimon), therefore we can say that we aren't talking about the Christian devils, but about entities that were originally Gods in their own right.
Demonolatry as a study was created by the Christian church to catalogue Gods (Demons) of the past religions: the most famous are the 72 spirits of Solomon or Goetic Demons (they date back to the 100 A.D., when Demonology and Demonography became common among the clergy). Demons were later catalogued by Demonologist like Johan Weyer, Peter Binsfield, Pope Honorius.
In most instances, the existing hierarchies were changed and due to this we lost the history of many Demons: translation errors lead to the creation of different demons (Asmodeus, Asmodey, Amducius) or to a misinterpretation (Beelzebub as Lord of the Flies instead of Lord of Lords). There are a lot of hierarchies with major differences and that's because a lot of times is the Demon (or Demons) who provides them. I won't be able to write here all of them but here's a quick list with a website correlated: "Dictionaire Infernale" by Collin De Plancy, Grimoire of Pope Honorius (I couldn't find the hierarchy), Hierarchy of Hell by Johan Weyer and the Goetic Hierarchy. Another pretty famous hierarchy is the "Demons of the Seven Deadly Sins", by Peter Binsfield, which for a lot of Demonolators is representative of some traits of the Demons (I will discuss about this later).
