The first washi tapes I've ever done!

Super happy with how they came out (cryptid one came out a little dark but still happy with it).

The Eldritch Earl Grey is my favourite for sure though. The silver holo came out so good!

Source: BEFORE GETTING UPSET http://www.adl.org/combating-hate/hate-on-display/#.VSSzqvnF-Qw  The ‘adl’ is the adl - antidefamation league.  I knew about them and have checked all my tattoos with them.   all Runic and symbols contain the paragraph:

Because the _____ Rune also continues to be used by non-racists, typically adherents of neo-pagan religions, one should not simply assume that a particular use of this symbol is racist, but should carefully judge it in its context.

There are a couple of symbols that don’t, but more on them tomorrow.

The Issue with the Wewelsburg Sunwheel.  I’ve posted about this before, wondering whether it predates the nazi’s.  It is, imo, the most symmetrical design and I like it.  

Well, it sounds like ADL doesn’t care who designed and you have to look at the user and context.  I.e. they seem to be saying it’s the best design so why forbid people from it?

Now that I’ve pissed off my more didactically univeralists friends, let me piss off my more folkish friends.  I respect the ADL, because they do use discretion and trust others to do the same thing.  Well that and my last real job, a long time ago was at a UJA funded agency, which has to be one of the best charities in America both in the high percentage of money that actually gets to the end user,  And they aren’t preachy, and I was the only goy with his own office and the orthodox treated me better than they treated the reform Jews who worked there, which is a long story that only makes sense if you live in NY, Miami or LA.  (The relations between the variations of American Judaism could teach us Pagans and Heathens a thing or two, universalism doesn’t really exist, the big distinction being between how liberal are you going to make you’re tribalist viewpoint.  The High Orthodox are another story.)

But, long and the short of it THE UJA HAS THE SENSE TO UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS NOT THE SYMBOL ALONE THAT IS IMPORTANT - IT’S USER OF THE SYMBOL AND THE CONTEXT.  WHY CAN’T WE?
