shout out to my therapist who asked me a bunch of very respectful questions about my religious beliefs and occult practices and sounded genuinely interested and told me that they’re fascinating and actually sound more reasonable than a lot of mainstream religious teachings

select moment: when I told her that I attribute my recent rapid progress partially to my studies in chaos magic and that a lot of people in hollywood are chaos magicians but they call it The Secret or “manifestation” to make it more palatable

There was a disturbance. Not just in her sleep, but in the world around them. Suddenly, Mona was on her feet, her blanket tossed aside, and she was almost out the door before her hazel eyes were open. The door was left wide open behind her, and the teen didn’t seem to care that she was walking down the sidewalk in a pair of short cotton shorts and the tank top she’d been asleep in.

No, there was no real way for her to explain it, but she’d felt him. He was here.

For a second, she thought she heard Aiken’s voice, but her mind was far gone from this world. Following the pulse she could feel beneath her feet, she started to pick up the pace despite her frozen toes.

“Hey, hey, hey, it’s okay--” Lyndon was immediately pulling Allie into his long arms, hugging her close and glancing around. The snow seemed higher all around them than it had, and he immediately turned to take in the state of things, “Are you okay?” He asked quietly, kissing Allie’s forehead absently.

‘Sibyl’ sat up slowly, shaking her head, before glancing up to meet the gaze of her friend. With furrowed brows, she closed her blue eye and bit the inside of her cheek until it bled. The orange eye glowed for a few seconds as she took in the information it could give her.

Maddox, Alcmene, Salix, Allie, Lyndon... Herself. They had all gone back in time. She had half a mind to say something, but the second her eye hit Maddox, she was on her knees and scrambling over to him.

“Hey, hey-- Shit. Mads?” 

In her worry, the glamour dropped, showing her orange eye on the left side instead of the right. She didn’t notice, though, brushing her hair over her shoulder before slowly reaching to touch his.

“Mads?”

There was something wrong.

Arthur could feel it humming in the atmosphere, and, much as it was probably embarrassing, he could smell it.

Having been back in the cemetery, as he was from time to time, it wasn’t a stretch that he’d feel it. The veil was thinner here, to say the least. 

As he started jogging down the path to leave, he did his best to figure where he needed to go.

I’m hallucinating. That’s a new one. 

I think it’s officially time to take a nap.

today I am thirty years old; I was honestly looking forward to this day although I was skeptical because I heard that when you turn thirty you’re smarter in a math and spatial reasoning way and stop caring so much what people think of you. but it’s really true, in the past six months it’s like my brain has been solidifying and I’ve become more intelligent and stable with each passing week. I read Poor Things a while ago and it actually really reminds me of how quickly Bella Baxter’s frankenbrain developed.

I’ve been cleaning, maintaining grocery supplies, doing personal hygiene, and completing large creative undertakings. I have actually pretty much checked out of regularly looking at social media except for tumblr, and you may have noticed I’ve been a less frequent poster because I’ve been spending more time on my projects. I still plan to have an online presence, though, and I’m actually really excited to bring my artwork, writing, and shop offerings to the next level over winter break using the new skills I learned in art school. I just turned in my midterm and my final date is in mid-December, so we’ll see what happens then!

today is actually a huge storm so I can’t really go on a trip or have a party, but I have plans to make it up on a different date and I’m still going to try to do some fun things. I know I’m going to have dinner at a local all you can eat sushi restaurant with a great view of the rainy downtown district and pick out a cake at Costco. so far I’ve just been going ham on my garden though since i used my birthday as an excuse to buy SO many plants.

also from a schizo sorceror standpoint I’m actually very pleased that there’s the biggest storm in decades on my 30th birthday, since my mom and I recently had a nice talk while watching a video about an “unsolved mystery” that heavily involved “the storm of the century” as a key phrase and I believe this is a synchronicity. it would be a good day for occult stuff.

okay I’m not normally all woo and paranormal on this public forum but this is an exception: I am fully convinced that the lily pond in the rhododendron grove at Golden Gate Park is haunted, although not in a negative sense, nor by dead people; the presence of forest entities is so strong to me when I enter that all my hairs stand up and I feel a need to behave reverently as if I’m in a church or art gallery. I get the fuck out of there before the sun goes down, not out of fear but because I get the sense I’ll be involved in weird shit that I don’t have the time or energy for. the has anyone else noticed this, or is Leshy just tapping me on the shoulder because I’m Slavic?

⚠️Tw:Jerma & Magic⚠️

i was in the doctors office getting a simple checkup and the doctor left the room for a couple of minutes to go grab some paperwork. In the corner of the room a door with blinds covering it!!!

i opened the blinds and saw Jerma doing an Elf like dance hopping from one stool to another!!

then… he saw me and ran up to the door and opened it

i stood there and he went “wanna see a magic trick?”

“sure” i said

he then got out 3 cards and said turn around, i did as instructed and he said “okay look back” and as i did he ran away with one card falling on the ground to which he went “oh shit” ran back took the card and said “abracadabra” and ran away

lol the scariest of magic

I have suddenly been reminded about when i would go on some kinda astral plain a lot and it looked like 80s cyberspace with the grid lines and everything. And then I'd do shit like build sand castles and be stalked by creepy men pretending to be nice and make the horizon skyscrapers bc ???? I could??? And i almost certainly did the thing from a book i once read (Indigo? India's story?) Where i rode a horse naked I think that was more fun than being in my "house" (think: mind mansion) to be honest. And i havent been to either place in years and wow, that's a shame
