just wanna say that it matters so much to me that you draw characters with their bellies hanging over their underwear / thighs, thank you for drawing such beautiful gorgeous characters with that body shape <33

Ahhh I'm glad they mean something to you..! ♡ I am very much in the business of making art that I would have loved to see growing up so to hear it's making a difference always warms my heart. ;o;

what are some ~literary classics~ you would recommend to people who want to get (back) into reading them? i think personally one of the things that worries me is that i wouldn't find the stories compelling for some reason but i know that's wrong!!

Great question! Here are three from different genres that I enjoy (spoiler-free, though you can feel free to look them up on your own). Most if not all of these are available at your local library or online in pdf form.

"Wow, Zozo, why these specific books? These are an odd selection." They were on my shelf, I like them a lot, and I'm too lazy to do full blurbs for every classic I've ever enjoyed, so sue me.

The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas: Okay, I always have to trot this one out. It's long, it's intricate, it's a damn good read. Make sure to read the unabridged version of the novel. I promise you that the extra time is worth it.

The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck: You may have read this one in school, but if not, give it a whirl. A great novel about the Depression and the desolation of capitalism with rich prose and a compelling story (though there are some sections that can be a bit too... Steinbeck-y, if anyone reading this knows what I mean, lmao).

And Then There Were None: Agatha Christie, my adored. Any of her novels are a good pick for someone who wants to read a classic that absolutely flies by and keeps you on the edge of her seat, but I particularly like some of the death descriptions in this one (sorry for any spoilers that may have caused).

hello ! so, i've been interested in smoke cleansing for a while and made my first stick today, and i've looked up recaning but i literally cannot find a single thing about that word anywhere, which makes me confused. do you have any works on that or smth? thanks in advance !

I do have a few posts on the subject in my archives.

It’s not likely that you’ll find “recaning” mentioned in most pagan literature, largely because the word has yet to make its’ way into common usage for most of the community. Add to this the fact that most of the pagan books you see in chain bookstores are from the same ten or twelve authors who largely got their education (and therefore their terminology) from texts which were popular in the 1980s-2000s, and you get a whole lot of books that talk about “smudging” (which is largely passe for modern witches) or smoke-cleansing (which is the same as recaning).

The term recaning is Anglo-Saxon and its’ usage and popularity can be traced to the online pagan community. It got its’ start from discussions among witches looking for alternative terms for “smudging,” which has culturally appropriative connotations thanks to certain New Age authors (we all know who).

Smoke-cleansing is the general term for the process of burning herbs for banishing or protective purposes, but it’s a bit of a mouthful. A few people suggested “recaning” or “censing” as shorter, easier words to describe the same process without the insinuation of ignorance (or at least insensitivity) that “smudging” can carry.

There’s also an article on the subject in one of my books, Grovedaughter Witchery.

i've been feeling quite ashamed of myself lately in terms of how i practice witchcraft, which is to say, not at all. except for copying stuff from my old grimoire into a newer one (which, granted, refreshes my memory), i haven't participated in any of the sabbats for months, haven't done any spells or anything of the sort. despite the fact that i think my belief in any of this should be enough, i feel bad and i feel like i have no legitimacy going back in at any moment. advice/reassurance? <3

I think the best advice I can give is that shame is not a productive emotion to dwell on. You can’t go back and change what you did or didn’t do in the past, but you can resume your journey at any time you choose. It isn’t at all uncommon to have periods where you fall out of practice - life happens :)

spaceharbinger replied to your post: wait what did dom tweet??

i don’t much care about the Discourse anymore but like, doesn’t his apology make sense though? i’m pretty sure it simply comes down to the fact that he loves nightwing, he’s dressed up as him before, his “cough” is him saying “hey i want to get on this too”, right?

yea i think it seemed pretty sound, like it hasn’t upset me in any way but then again that could just be a blindspot for me. i haven’t even seen anyone talking about it tho which is strange. all i know is the anons i’ve gotten about it
