This card is all about escapism. So, what better way to portray it than floating on the silent sea… where you’re far from land, family, friends, and reality as we know it?

What do you think of Joyofsatan.org? They claim to follow the Sumerian God Enki-Satan and they’ve become the largest Satanist group in the world.

As someone who almost got sucked in by JoS I think it’s a trap. They have basic information to draw beginners and young ones in but underlying that they teach unsafe practices and are incredibly misleading. They do not promote magical safety or magical hygiene at all which is a red flag imo when you’re teaching others magic. They immediately ask for a contract to be made with an ancient entity through blood- which is not beginner friendly magic. They use fear to get results and members. I think there are better resources than JoS. I truly do not think they are largest but I’m no expert. There is much more dark shit that JoS is involved in.

The world is changed. I feel it in the water. I feel it in the earth. I smell it in the air. Much that once was is lost; for none now live who remember it.

today’s obsession is ancient tattoos, in particular the s-curved floral-antlered deer of the Siberian Ice Maiden and Scythian Chieftain.

it’s such a heavily used trope in modern media (off the top of my head I can think of Pokemon, Annihilation, Bambi, Snow White and the Huntsman, etc) and why wouldn’t it be! antlers look like branches, branches look like antlers, it’s only natural to pair them

but it makes me strangely emotional that our brains have always worked this way, and been drawn to the same imagery over and over again.

I’m also going to resist the urge to make paired enamel pins of these ancient deer, even though I deeply desire little wearable tributes of the past

Good Riddance! Protective Banishment Sigils

I created these sigils for when I am in a house I fear is haunted by spirits that might be negative, harmful, or who are just uninvited strangers. The intentions in these sigils will not banish any spirits you enjoy having around or are familiar with. The intentions are also worded in a way that could apply to any one or any thing, not just a spirit or non-physical entity, so they should help to keep strange or negative people out of you home as well.

These sigils are meant to be cast for a specific home, so the process of casting and charging them will have to do with the house. I recommend drawing or painting them on a wall somewhere out of sight (doing this while repainting a room is a great idea). I drew mine in pencil behind a poster on my wall. If defacing your home isn’t an option, they could be traced with your finger into shaggy carpet, drawn with water on a countertop, or cast in whatever way you would usually cast a sigil.

As will all spells that you do not personally create, feel free to tweak these if you incorporate them into your practice. You may word the intentions differently, or alter the design slightly in a way that feels right. Always follow your intuition!

“No entity will enter this home uninvited”

“Those who are unwanted or unknown will not stay here”

“Those who bring fear or harm are banished from this home.”

A note for some of the significance in these, I have used counter-clockwise as the direction for banishment. If you usually do the opposite, then you may want to switch some of the arrows and when you are drawing the sigil, draw the circular shape in whatever direction you use for banishing. I’ve also used downward arrows for banishment, and have taken inspiration from other symbols of power and protection like the pentagram. Besides using these significant symbols, I created these using a common method of sigil making where the intention is written out, and the lines and shapes in the letters are turned into a symbol. This is not the only way to create sigils, nor is it a very in-depth explanation, but there’s lots of material out there if you’d like to learn more.

I often dissociate, and I can’t figure out why. I think it’s because my dad was very hard on me when I was growing up. I never talk about it because I’ve never had any significant trauma to cause the episodes.

I had a dream last night that I ran away from fascists and ended up at this farm that was full of this weird but very large prehistoric animal that was like a fluffy Tapir and I want to know if it actually exists. It was about the size of a Dairy Cow.
