I do what I want.

Some random words in Ancient Egyptian

1. Hetep or Hotep = Peace. Also used as part of the greeting: “Em hotep,” meaning: “In peace,” along with its variations: “Em hotep nefer,” (“In great peace,”) and “Em hotep nefer weret,” (“In very great peace,”).

2. Ankh = Life. Used as part of the phrase: “Ankh, udja, seneb!” meaning: “Life, strength, and health!” Which was a blessing.

3. Senebty = Farewell 4. Iiti = Hello

5. Yeh! = Hi!

6. Iiwy = Welcome

7. Imi-ib = Heart’s desire. Equivalent to: “Beloved,” or “darling.”

8. Nedjeb = Sweetie (as in “dear” not candy)

9. Mewet = Mother

10. It = Father

11. Sa = Son 12. Sat = Daughter 13. Senet = Sister 14. Sen = Brother (Note: In addition to referring to your actual brother as this, you would also address someone around the same age as you as “brother” or “sister.” So when you see Egyptian love poems addressing people as “brother” and “sister” it’s not meant to be incestuous.)

15.  Neb=  Lord. Also, Neb-i = My lord 16. Nebet = Lady. Also, Nebet-i = My lady 17. Heka = Magic

18. Ib or Ab = Heart 19. Nefer = Beautiful, or great, depending on the context 20. Dua Netjer en ek! = Thank you! Or, literally: Thank God for you! If speaking to a woman, it’s: Dua Nejter en etj!

21. Kemet = Egypt, or “Black Land.” Sometimes spelled: Khemet

22. Hem =  Husband

23. Hemet = Wife

24. Itja = Thief 25. Nefer sedjmek = May you hear only good things. This was a common way to end letters. If addressing a woman its: “Nefer sedjmetj”

26. Tjatey = Vizier 27. Per Ankh = House of Life. A type of sacred library that could be found in various temples and was run by priests and used by them and the nobility.

28. Khered = Child

29. Izi nek djesek! = Go f*** yourself! (note: they probably didn’t actually say this, but this is sort of how you would say it if the did. Likewise with the next word.)

30. Henen-tep! = D***head!

31. Ii = Come

32. A'nen! = Come back!

33. Khefttey = Enemy

34. Khenmes = Male friend

35. Khenemset = Female friend

36. Merwet = Love (noun)

37. Meri = Love (verb)

38. Maa = True

39. Tjen? = Where?

40. Duat = The Land of the Dead. Neter-Khertet was also used.

41. Mau = Cat. Also Miu = Kitten

42. Khet = Fire

43. Sesen = Lotus flower. A symbol of the sun, creation and rebirth. The Egyptians believed that the sun rose of out of a giant lotus on the first day.

44. Seba = Star

45. Sma = Owl

46. Im = There

47. Nefer uy phuy ky! (or Nefer phwy ky)=How beautiful are thy buttocks! (No, really. Set said this to Horus in one of the stories about the gods.)

48. Maat = Divine truth

(PS: If any of these are inaccurate, I apologize.)

[kinahmi]

Another endearment is ibib, which basically means “the heart of my heart”, as in “beloved”.

[nassadii]

So is it safe to say that Set is an ass man?

Palmistry 101

When reading palms, whether your own or someone else’s, these are the main things to consider:

Which hand is dominant? For right-handed people, the left hand gives information about inherited characteristics and potential, while the right hand reveals the development, character, and life events. The opposite is true for left-handed folks!

Quality of lines and their points of intersection. How strong or fine are the lines? Are they straight and long, broken and twisted, etc.? 

The directions of lines, which mounts they occur on or near, and their influences.

Shape of the hand, fingers, nails, and mounts.

General demeanor of the person and the hand. 

MAJOR LINES

Each line has its own meaning and depicts a certain course of action in a person’s life. Lines come in all shapes and sizes. Not everyone has all six of these lines, although the first three are always present (the fate line is usually present as well). 

Heart line: emotions, insecurities, marriages, dependence and independence, the nature of your relationships.

Head line: intellect, reasoning powers, prospective career paths, potentials for success.

Life line: pattern and quality of life, physical vitality, stability or imbalance, will power and logic, not necessarily the indicator for length of your life.

Fate/Saturn line: strengths of character, career, friendships, life’s daily problems, and general ability to succeed.

Mercury/Health line: health matters, business and adventure, the spirit of discovery.

Apollo/Sun line: utilization of creative energies and potentials for success through development of talents.

MOUNTS

The mounts are fleshy cushions underneath each of the fingers. These mounts carry the same name as the finger they are under. Below are the different character and personality traits associated with each finger/mount.

Mercury: Pinky. buoyancy, shrewdness, wit, spirit.

Apollo/Sun: Ring finger. compassion, love of beauty, artistic abilities, potential for success.

Saturn/Fate: Middle finger. seriousness, cautiousness, gloom, superstition.

Jupiter: Index finger. leadership, honor, ambition, spirituality/religiousness.

Lower Mars: Below pinky. moral courage, self-control.

Upper Mars: Below thumb. resistance, coolness of spirit, calmness, courage.

Venus: Thumb. benevolence, affection, humility, passion.

Moon: sentimentaliity, imagination, self-centeredness 

CONFIGURATIONS

These are just a few of the figurative markings that are commonly seen on the hand. They add meaning to the lines or mounts they are near.

Branches: emphasize strengths.

Breaks in lines: emphasize weaknesses.

Chains: signify obscure goals, inclinations to deviate.

Crosses: signify upheavals, violence, struggles, and blunders.

Islands: indicate delays, injuries, and problems.

Stars: emphasize luckiness.

*** I will be posting more about palmistry soon, including more detailed variations of the lines and mounts! In the meantime, feel free to ask me about your palms… sending me a picture would be AMAZING :~)

Apps I can’t live without

These apps are pretty much the reason why I never sleep. You’ve been warned.

Commaful - addictive short stories, fanfics, & poetry 👑

MeToo - meet with friends. make new friends. find what you’re missing out on around you

Vent - share your feelings with people who actually care  ❤️

Sweatcoin - win gifts and stuff by walking outside

Robinhood - trade stocks with no fees (and get a free stock for joining)

Tinder - just swipe right whenever you’re bored and make new “friends”😉

Trivia Crack - the subtle way to show off how nerdy you are

Musically - make music videos and dance ridiculously in front of your camera

Kim Kardashian Hollywood - yes i’m a basic ass bitch. bite me.

You now have my blessing to ignore work/homework/chores/friends in favor of playing on your phone 😉

London Comic Con October 2013 

Hot fucking DAMN Assassins from all over the world and a shitton of different time periods?!

Rifle Assassin in the third gif could get it so hard.

[ghostalebrije]

NOW I WANNA DO A MEXICAN REVOLUTION ASSASSIN OMFG

[slackeremeritus]

COWBOY ASSASSIN THO

SOLDIER ASSASSIN THO

[betterbemeta]

OK, can I say I love this not just because of the variation of time periods and the awesome shooting but because all of the assassin cosplayers are visually different

not only is there a good amount of women in there, but also everybody has a lot of bodily variation and different silhouettes, they’re cosplayers, REAL PEOPLE dressing up rather than video game people or specifically-cast models or actors picked to look a certain way, so we get so much more of an organic variety. 

And it doesn’t matter if ANYONE thinks they don’t look ‘right’, when you’re shot this way, when you work it, when you’re confident, you can be of any body type and you will always look awesome.

[karethdreams]

Reblogging this again because the more I watch them the more awesome it is, and the more I want to play in some of those time periods.

[seiya234]

Dude,I don’t play Assassin’s Creed, but I love this gif set.

It is hella cool as shit.

[tacticalnymphomania]

I don’t play Assassin’s Creed either but goddamn they are all gorgeous

[livs-fairy-tale]

The first one in the third gif looked very ‘Jack the Ripper’-y.

I love it!

Pagan & Wiccan Advice & Blogging

[petr1kov]

You know, one thing i like about Mulan is how Yao, Ling and Chien Po don’t really seem to care about the fact that Mulan is a girl.

I mean, when they find out, they are visibly perplexed

But even so, they rush and try to help her when she’s about to get killed

After this, they all seem quite depressed about having to leave her behind (and when Shang ignores her)

And when she shows up and takes action, they gladly follow her lead

And they even rock some crossdressing, like she did

(btw they just missed a great opportunity to make Shang crossdress here, shame on you movie)

Honestly, i just think this needs more appreciation. Because to them, Mulan didn’t have to prove herself again, just because she is a girl. She already earned their friendship and respect when she was ‘Ping’, and that was enough.

The Houses as Halsey Lyrics:

Slytherin: Do you call yourself a fucking hurricane like me? Pointing fingers cause you'll never take the blame like me... Low on self-esteem, so you run on gasoline.

Hufflepuff: You're dripping like a saturated sun rise, you're spilling like an overflowing sink.

Ravenclaw: Already choking on my pride so there's no use crying about it.

Gryffindor: Survival of the richest, the city's ours until the fall... We are the new Americana.

Dealing with plant spirits:

So I’m a spirit worker, and though I’ve only been practicing a little bit over a year, I’ve worked with many different spirits with most of them being plants.  This just comes from my own personal experience, so you don’t have to take this as law.  

General:

Different kinds of plants have different personalities (obviously).  And as each plant has their own unique personality, generally they tend to be similar to other plants of the same type: cacti, succulents, vines, herbs, flowers, even going down to specific types such as lavender, pine trees, orchids, etc.  And then, how they react to communication depends on what stage they are in: seedling, middle, adult, etc.  

Communication:

In general, plants tend to be fairly slow with communication.  And they generally don’t use words. The plants i have worked with preferred sending general feelings and images of what they were trying to communicate.  So be patient with yourself while working towards that communication.  Whenever you try communication, start by giving a small offering.  It can be elaborate, it can be watering it, spreading fertilizer (eggshells are good, a bit of sugar, stuff like that) around it, weeding around the roots, and small stuff like that.  Introduce yourself, and just start talking.  Explain what your day was like and what you did.  You can sing to the plant, they tend to love that.  Seedlings are more likely to talk very quickly to you, while old plants tend to take longer.  The time frame can be from a couple of hours to a couple weeks depending on the spirit.  If you want to create a relationship with the spirit, you’re going to have to communicate with the spirit regularly.  This process will take a while as it would trying to improve any friendship.

Now what?:

After you’ve introduced yourself to the spirit, it’s time to create a friendship!  Giving them small gifts/offerings is a great step.  Spending time with them will also help with that.  It doesn’t all have to be communication, you can read books aloud to them, watch movies with them, or anything else of that sort.  Find out their name!  Each spirit will have their own name, much like we do.  Some of them are really hard to spell and/or pronounce so I won’t be giving any examples here.  After building that friendship, you can do most anything you want!  You can have them assist you with spells, amplify your energy, and other such things.  Keep in mind that the amount of energy that the spirit will have depends on their vessel, the plant.  The larger the life force, the larger the amount of energy that you can borrow is.

Dealing with death:

Now, most of the plants I have worked with have been seedlings, and because I’m not perfect in the slightest many of them have died.  For me, dealing with the dead plant is a ritual to honor the spirit as it passes into a place where I haven’t been able to communicate with it yet.  I give it back to the earth (bury it if I can, or just leave it in a place where it can give back to the earth.  It gets a small funeral service, stating what they did for me, what I loved about them, that they will be missed, etc.  Before you leave them there give them a small offering to help it’s passage, water, fertilizer, eggshell, etc.  This isn’t necessary, but it is respectful and a good way for the spirit not to be mad.
