We romanticize the stars, but forget the dark is what made them visible.

I’m a witch and a necromancer. The dark is fantastic and where it’s at. But sure, YOU forgot your phone or keys or whatever and now can’t see anything. Not my problem.

I think the secret to warding off evil spirits is being even scarier than them.... The other night I woke up suddenly at 3am, and saw a grinning shadow spirit hanging right over me. I wasn't scared at all, just instinctively grinned back and said, "Fuck off." Bro dissipated immediately. Thinking of it now, I'd feel freaked out if I were him lol

This is the secret to being a witch. Horror film are a lie. You can stare anything supernatural in the face and tell it to Fuck Off and it will. If it doesn’t, punch it.

This just proves that most necromancers are scank. Necromancers! You do not need to eat corpses nude in a graveyard or skin the legs of your best friend and hope his withered balls drop coins.

Seriously.

You could just… say hi to ghosts.

Nicely.

They are people after all.

That your heart beats and theirs does not is a difference time will fix sooner or later.

FFS.

Funerary Figurine known as Tödlein, ca. 19th century, Southern Germany.

Rare miniature funerary figurine known as a Tödlein. The human skull carved from bone as the body lies in its mini casket adorned with a mother-of-pearl cross. A time when death was apart of everyday life and when it was normalized to carry reminders of said death.
