My bio was to long sooo now it's the pinned introduction post (and even longer:] )

About me:

Êleåle!! ("Blessed greetings" in arvyndase) I'm from The Great Lakes Region of the US:) here to connect with other-otherkin/alterhuman folk and explore magick together! (and post my art and photography sometimes:)) Trying to learn Arvyndase, so it'll be sprinkled through my blog:>

•Im an Elfae, specifically, I'm a Changeling-Sprite

•"El da Verzå'Sylpordir" or "I am neurodivergent" I have ASD and chronic stress/anxiety but I love making friends, so I tend to have social difficulties and struggle forming and keeping up with friendships bc of these issues. if you're also an adult who's looking for friends just know if I follow you, it's because I can see us being friends but have no idea how to initiate:/. My friend forming skills peaked in Second grade with the classic walk up to them and say "Hi:> we're friends now:D" but that's not how it works now so idk what to do👍

Tropical zodiac: 🌔♌•☀️♑•🌅♌•N🧭♉•☿♑•♀♓•♂♓•♃♍•♄♋•♅♋•♆♒•♇♐

Beliefs: Im learning about as many polytheistic belief systems, and spiritual paths as I can, both RHP and LHP, as well as newer paths like the spiritual teachings of the EDQ, The Elven Way (of the silver elves), Tië eldaliéva, Ardan paganism ect, all to inform and form my own faerie path I'm terming "The Eldritch Path" ("Eldritch" originally referred to fae, then Lovecraft popularized the modern definition🙄, so I'm taking it back! :> fellow Elfae, "Eldritch" belongs to us!)

I've been researching and practicing "witchcraft" of various kinds since 2017, although my experience with magic started before that.

I'm open to all beliefs and I believe in alot of deities rn including: *just imagine I'm rapid listing them, like the side-effects of a antidepressant on tv*

Eru, Hekate, Bacchus, Selene, Persephone, Hades, Cassiel, Mab, Pan, Ratatoskr, Mother-Earth, Grimnir, Inanna, Morpheus, Oneiros, Icelos, Phantasos, The Morrigan, Ogma, Yeshua, Erikrepaios, Lugh, Hermes-Trismegistus, Boraes/Jack Frost, the ainor(?), the valar(?)

Hobbies and interests:

• I enjoy making art of characters I like (or ocs), both traditionally and digitally.

•Im super interested in classical studies, I would say it's my official special interest, with the main areas I enjoy being ancient mythology/esoterica & Etymology

•Gaming: I enjoy playing Minecraft, Skyrim-Together, witch-it and Stardew valley and sometimes dead by daylight

•Nature: Foraging, Ethnobotany, Entheogenics, Entymology, Herbalism, Herbology and Hiking/Exploration

EPI: (especially please interact)

(feels weird to have a list acknowledging everyone I don't wanna meet while not making a positive list!! Thus EPI:>)

fellow adult otherworldly-folk/Elfae/alterbeings🌀, those that post art made by one who is or was living🎨, foragers🌿, entheogenists🍄, activists🪧, 🐈‍⬛therians & phytanthropes🌷, Philosophers📜, astral-projecters🌌, dream travelers🛣️ and any chill magickal people, whether it's innate or through craft🧙‍♀️:)

•••

DNI: (do not interact )

Fascists, bigots, harmful para supporters, ablists, Anti-entheogenic-ists(?), Xenophobes, AI supporters, people who don't try to understand others, people who treat animals like accessories and not friends or children, anyone just looking for an argument rather than a discussion, and no anti-lgbt+ (and that includes fellow queers who "don't believe" in being ace or bi folk)

((I am an adult. if you are not, please find other people to befriend in your own age group))

Bomêlda!

Being a housewife responsible for everything in the home and all that stuff sucks especially when you get the flu really bad and the people you clean for are like

"it's okay, we understand if you fall behind a little while you're sick💞"

Which what they really mean is

"I have no problem continuing to generate mess and do nothing to clean up after myself and then you can just try to catch up on the huge mountain I've made after you're done being sick. Don't worry tho I'll continue to complain about it the whole time💞"

"The Elven Tree Of Life Eternal"

I digitalized the design from the book "The Elven Tree Of Life Eternal" by The Silver Elves

[Description: a pastel rainbow gradient background with a "tree" or grid like pattern of various colorful spheres with astrological symbols connected by lines. The top four spheres all connect to one another via fuchsia lines. a dotted blue line lays below the bottom sphere of the tree top, separating the top spheres from the lower ones, although two spheres from the left and right sides of the tree top have descending fuchsia arrows pointing to the lower tree. The lower nine spheres all connect via black lines.]

To all my fellow faeries

I believe in you & I believe in your magic!

I delight at you for believing in me too✨💙

Wish I could send this to the person in the comments of a post a few weeks ago that was telling me I needed to un-learn my colonial ideas because I think we shouldn't farm animals....

[mousidy]

you have to get that when someone calls a woman mannish as an insult, that's uncomplicatedly just misogyny

[mousidy]

punishing women for perceived failures to perform patriarchal femininity is not remotely "misandry," because it's not about a hatred of men or masculinity. it's about punishing women for not performing our roles. men don't get punished for being men

[mousidy]

furthermore, I think a lot of people, trans women included, lose the capacity to understand this when the target is a trans woman. transphobia doesn't cancel out misogyny just because it misgenders trans women. the transphobia provides cover for the misogyny

transphobia is an excellent trojan horse for misogyny, because it suggests its target could not be a target of misogyny in the same breath that it, you know, targets its targets with misogyny. your shooter is arguing that you're biologically immune to bullets while shooting you

[mousidy]

if I tell you that women are being put in men's prisons and subjected to sex slavery in which they are called the "wives" of male inmates they become the property of, does it change anything that these women are trans? does that make it not misogyny? look at who benefits from misogyny and who is bound by it

[elluendifad]

Wait you're a Tolkien elvish religionist that's so cool...I'm a pretty soft polytheist but I've toyed with the idea of working with Nienna, to me she has a lot of symbolism in common with Hel and also the good parts I used to like about Marian veneration. Would you be open to sharing a little bit about your practice?

i am so one milion percent open and many of my friends merge valar or eru veneration (several examples in various places on the worship--workwith spectrum) with their other pantheons or with valar as epithets/facets of their gods so you are absolutely not the only one catching those vibes or interested in that <3. (i know you are also a well practiced person with similar concepts in your path so forgive me if i assume anything about how best to communicate with you and nudge me/ask if anything is unclear or is interesting that i skipped etc) I'm in the neighborhood of eru, valar, and maiar are my Entire Deal. A lot of my animistic practices and relationships from Before eldarin awakening are maintained mostly the same way, but the technology i use has changed(eldarin spiritual anatomy is different from human and it was like finding a key to switch technology.) i call my thingy panentheistic. i worship Eru as the one before and outside of creation and all counting, but i also worship Eru as the flame imperishable that is within and animates creation, and also as the Action of Existing/having been created. All the Valar are also Eru the way I am also Eru, Eru is also all the Valar and all of the created. and also a separate beautiful thing outside of sight and sound and my capacity for thought. I love this beautiful terrible world and my wonderful awful place in it. I love blooming and I love rot.

Nienna was my patron during the Great Changing of my life, and now that things are much more stable for me she has taken a less direct role in my daily activities but is still very much involved in my loving kindness/compassion/pity/metta/tong len/related practices, and has encouraged me to experience patronage with all of the valar in whatever order occurs to us to explore. Many of us (tolk spiritual folks in general, valar venerators of many kinds) are particularly drawn to Nienna and have great need of her comfort and her teaching in these alarmingly stupid and horrific times. the work i do with my irl teacher (a zen priest and catholic i meet with in person who does a blend of zen, christian contemplative/centering prayer, and tibetan practices from the monks who visit us in our region) is especially For Nienna and Encouraged by her. Okay i am going to put the talking stick down because i want to know what YOU are hearing and feeling and putting together about Nienna in your own unique experiences!!! so hype!!! feel free to reply publicly or privately as you prefer, i just wanted to have this somewhere i could get to it later and knew it would disappear from my inbox if i answered it privately.

[sylvysprite]

I love all of this but especially this take on Eru, it really resonates with me like finally having a name for what I already felt in the background of everything.

[sylvysprite]

I'm sick of the subtle creep culture that pervades America

No, you are not over the hill or old just because you're not a high schooler anymore. please consider why it is you've been conditioned to think that way

no, 35 isn't old 🙂

No, 30 isn't old 🤔

Uh, NO, 25 isn't old 🧐🔍

NO, 21 IS NOT OLD 👮🚨 WTF

Did you know? Fireflies aren’t flies at all: they're beetles! Of all of the insects in the world, fireflies are among the few to have evolved an extraordinary language of light. Many fireflies use a system of flashes in some of the same ways we use words: to attract, to say, “Here I am,” even to deceive. They emit light from a tiny organ, called a lantern, on the underside of their abdomen, where a biochemical reaction takes place within specialized cells called photocytes. The reaction releases energy in the form of light.

Arvyndase word of the (whenever I post it)

Carthrotha

pronounced: car – throw – thah

In the magic language Arvyndase, "Carthrotha" means "the tendency to see what you expect to see instead of what is actually there"

[kumeko]

Oh Billy, you look so small right there…

[mcstack]

Superman’s sheer anger over Billy Batson’s situation is a sight to behold. Batman and Robin get away with it because he knows it’s the world’s best internship and that Bruce is willing to put out all the stops to protect him. But Billy? He doesn’t have anyone looking out for him. And that pisses off Superman more than anything.

[thefingerfuckingfemalefury]

Seriously, Clark’s face here

He is ready to kick the ass of whoever put this boy in this situation SO HARD

[rael-rider]

Next page he really lets the Wizard Shazam have it.

[nerdgerhl]

Shit, son. I might have to buy this book for those last two panels alone.

[catbountry]

When Superman is written well he is an amazing goddamned character.

[incognitomoustache]

these few pages are some of my favourite in comic book history. So good. For anyone wondering what the next few pages look like, here you go:

This is a bigger deal than some of you might think, because Superman is one of the heroes in the DC Universe who keeps his secret identity pretty damn secret, because as probably the most powerful and influential person on earth, a lot of people do not wish him well - and would jump at the chance to hold people dear to him as leverage.

Yet, he trusts this poor, scared little kid. To comfort him, and entrust him with his biggest secret - just as Billy did for him.

Superman is just really important, ok?

[fipindustries]

this for people to truly understand superman

[dduane]

I will never get tired of reblogging this. This is the Superman who means something to *me*.

[doodlee-a]

For those curious, the book is Superman/Shazam First Thunder! I have it on my shelf BECAUSE of this post.
