Antonio Banderas vs Errol Flynn

WOW OKAY

the swashbuckling energy is UNREAL and UNFAIR. however only one of these men would treat me right after the cameras stopped rolling and we all know who it is.

send me two celebrity men and I’ll say which one I find more attractive!

hi hi! if naughty or nice readings are still open, can i get one? thanks in advance! 💖

Hello lovely! As a “thank you” to you and everyone else that has waited so patiently to get your “naughty or nice” response, everyone is on the “nice” list and, therefore, here is your reading! I was drawn to the Oracle of the Shapeshifters for you🐺

Little Red Riding is here to tell you that the way you view yourself is changing- that your voice can now be heard speaking up and out (especially on behalf of those that can not have a voice of their own at this time). You defend others by merely being yourself- for regardless of whethere or not you’re aware, your refusal to be fearful or hide away has sent a positive message to those that may feel hopeless or defenseless. By waking up each morning despite having hardships, you show so many the way to live. You have made friends with your strength, and you know that at the end of the day, when the time comes you are an incredibly strong person that is resilient and unstoppable. You have strong and unconventional allies, but at this time you are being called to connect to the spirit of the wolf. Wolves know how to stand alone as well as run with the pack- and you are being called to hone in on those qualities. Wolves must be prepared to defend themselves, even if it means facing a fight. They know how to stand their ground and face their enemy when the time comes- and the time is here, brave one! You have been mistreated in the past, and you have retreated in the past- but you are not the sum total of a bad experience. Little Red Riding Hood asks that you do all the things to make sure your physical and energetic spaces are safe (make sure entry points to your home are secure, take self defense classes, strengthen/charge your wards if that is something you partake in) at this time. It is also time for you to take responsibility for your boundaries- do not allow people re-entry once they have violated a sacred threshold. Stand strong and take a stand- for wolf is your ally, and I honestly can’t think of anyone else I’d rather have by my side (wolf is also my ally if it’s not obvious from my avatar, hah)🐺 Have a SAFE and beautiful winter and holiday season, brave one! I hope you liked your reading! This is one of my fave cards tbh!

o death - kate mann

“The children pray, the preacher preach, time and mercy are out of your reach

I'll fix your legs til you can't walk

I'll lock your jaw til you can't talk

I'll close your eyes til can see the very air go with me

I am death come to take the soul, leave the body and leave it cold

Draw the flesh above the fray; earth and worm both have a claim”

something is in motion and it is inevitable and as impossible to stop as death itself. i’d say you’re in for some major change in the near future.

Would love to know your least favorite fashion/beauty trends of the last decade given that post you rbed abt how most ppl dress Like That

I want to start this off by saying I didn't hate every single thing I saw in that post. The fact that many people dress the same is not necessarily a heinous crime against fashion, just a simple lack of personal taste and style. However, there are a few actual prosecutable offenses that were committed en masse during the late 2000s and early 2010s:

Low rise jeans. They are the epitome of "just because you Ameri-can doesn't mean you Ameri-should", and besides, most people really really Ameri-can't. And that's okay! I have never in my life felt the need to show off my hipbones in a display of pubic dominance. Bonus points (and by that I mean negative points) if they're way too long and bunch unattractively around the ankles. It's not cute, it makes your legs look shorter, and it absolutely destroys your hems.

Visible thongs. Put. Them. Away. Ask yourself, "Is this truly what I want to say to everyone who meets me, before I've even opened my mouth? Do I want to tell them, without words, that I am the sort of person who walks around with my underwear hanging out like that is a normal and respectable thing adults do?" This trend is second only to the current, somehow more horrible trend of jeans with built-in thong straps.

Flip flops as anything but beachwear, and even then they're on thin fucking ice. Flip flops are not shoes. No matter how many sequins, how much embroidery, or how fancy the clothes they're paired with, thong sandals will never be anything other than awkward and juvenile at best.

Orange skin, but especially the kind that abruptly stops at the jawline. Please, for the love of all that is holy, just match your foundation to your skin tone. This was a difficult concept to grasp for girls of the late 2000s/early 2010s, especially as Jersey Shore reigned culturally supreme, but I pray the youths have learned from our mistakes.

The specific combination of thin scarf, Abercrombie hoodie, jeans, and Uggs that was worn by every basic blonde bitch at my high school. It's not offensive or tacky, and as teenage outfits go, it's not even all that bad. It's just basic, and it brings me back to high school, so for those two reasons I hate it.

I'm sure I will think of more later on, but rb this and tell me what I missed so we can hate it together.

@shimmerge​ asked:

What are some ways you chose to honor or work with Jupiter if you do? I'm limited in my ability to do rituals and wanted to try to do smth for this Thursday since Jupiter is in my sign that day

Doing work on Thursday is a great idea, since that’s Jupiter’s day! Jupiter is the planet of expansion, prosperity, and abundance - many people think of Venus as the money planet, but Jupiter is actually the most ideal for bringing in a steady flow of ever-increasing cash. And while Mercury may be the perfect road-opener to create new opportunities, Jupiter is the one that will make sure those opportunities keep paying off.

Some basic stuff: Jupiter’s color is blue, its traditional number is 4, and its glyph looks like this. Some herbs associated with Jupiter that might be easy to find depending on where you live are dandelion, honeysuckle, and sage. Jupiterian stones are anything blue (especially sugilite and sapphire) so even if you have glass beads or fake stones, as long as they’re blue, go for it! No need for fancy rocks that cost a fortune or take up space.

Things to Do (under the cut)

Wear blue: Jupiter is known for his kingship, and what better way to honor the king than to wear his colors? If you don’t have any blue clothes, then blue nail polish, blue jewelry, or even blue lipstick can be a great way to carry his power around with you all day. For maximum effect, combine it with gold for wealth, green for money, or orange for opportunity (associated with Mercury!)

Light a blue or white candle: This is a pretty easy one as well, if you have access to both candles and fire. Carve something into it, rub it down with oil, roll it in herbs, whatever you like - or just sit gazing into the flames, the way humans have done for hundreds of thousands of years. (We are all part of something bigger than ourselves.)

Meditate: This would be a great thing to do while your candle is lit, especially if you don’t want to leave it unattended (which you should never do anyway unless it’s in a jar AND you’ve taken extra precautions!) Sit quietly somewhere you won’t be disturbed and visualize yourself having everything you want as if you already have it. What is your life like? What do you do each day? How does it make you feel? Now backtrack: visualize how you got there. See how one thing led to another which led to another, taking you all the way from where you are now to where you want to be. Feel proud of yourself! Allow yourself to be sure that things will happen just this way.

Draw a sigil: My sigil formula is symbol that reminds me what I’m trying to achieve + symbol of a thing that can help me achieve it. Trying to get more money? Doodle the glyph for Jupiter combined with a dollar sign until you come up with a design that looks nice, and there you are. Draw it in a notebook, tear it out, and hang it up. Carve it into a candle with a penknife or a paper clip. Draw it in black sharpie on something that is also black. Paint it with water on a window or a door. Draw it on an index card to put in your wallet (very appropriate for Jupiter!) Don’t like designing? Just use the symbol linked above - the important thing is that you’re making a mark with intention.

Write a petition: Write down what you want in the present tense, as if you already have it. “I am wealthy, with no financial worries for the future. I have more than enough money to buy clothes and go to restaurants. I fly first class when I travel, which I do often.” Get into detail! Be descriptive and passionate. Many people become so overwhelmed with emotion at this part that they start to cry, and that’s a good thing. When you’re finished, take the paper and burn it, bury it, throw it into running water, tear it up and throw it off a cliff, whatever. Just put it out into the universe and out of your mind, so it can do its work.

Make a vision board: Jupiter is a big, big thinker, so make something that depicts your long-term goals and your wildest dreams. It’s best to do this with your hands, as in a physical collage, but pinterest boards and tumblr aesthetics work too! The important thing is that you don’t limit yourself in your vision. Your goals are more realistic than you think.

Make big plans: You know that thing you’ve always said you were going to do? Commit to it now! Buy the guitar you’ve always been meaning to learn to play, make that big painting you’ve been thinking of for a while now, or call up your old college friend and tell them you’re planning on visiting next year. The first step is often the biggest and hardest one to take, so once that’s out of the way, the rest of the details will become a lot easier to sort out.

Do something generous: True kingship is stewardship. If there is something you have an abundance of, whether it’s time, knowledge, patience, or skill, consider giving some to a person who could use it, just to help them out. When we are generous with the world around us, we express our trust that the world will be generous with us in return.

Cook with butter or eat something deliciously fatty: Be generous with yourself too! Jupiter is not stingy with the good stuff, so don’t hold out in the name of discipline. Some great foods to incorporate would be fruit, cheese, nuts, meats, bread, pie, cake, or champagne. The king doesn’t need a reason to throw a feast, and neither do you!

Betwixt the Shadows on Youtube, run by my boss at the occult shop and the head tarot reader who is also an accomplished astrologer. They take questions every week!

@salvatore_modern_witch, my boss’s instagram, where he posts lecture videos based in his forty years of experience in planetary and ceremonial magic. (It is not very fancy, because he is an old man, but it is super informative!)

Sphere and Sundry, which combines the most potent planetary magical materia with the most incredibly comprehensive product descriptions I have ever seen. Even if you don’t feel like shopping, their website is worth ransacking for the information alone.

Go forth and be merry in your power!
