Actual Alternatives to "So Mote It Be"

"It is as I will it. "

"As I speak it so it is. "

"This I command."

This is by my power."

"This I manifest."

"By me and the powers that be."

"Because I fucking said so."

(Feel free to add some of your own.)

For Hellenic pagans and/or those who practice Ancient Greek magic, I’m gonna add “Έστω!” (Esto!), which means “Let it be!”

Tally ho

[theomenroom]

when applied to drinks, "dry" means "without sugar". therefore it follows that sugary drinks can be called "wet". the meanings of the terms "hot" and "cold" when applied to drinks are obvious. thus the aspect of any drink can be determined.

for instance, green tea, freshly steeped and served without additives, is hot and dry, and therefore has an aspect of fire.

a mocha, on the other hand, while hot, is sweet, and therefore wet, and thus has an an aspect of air.

lemonade, which is wet and cold, has a water aspect.

finally, the drink which most epitomizes the earth aspect, being both cold and dry, is vodka

We have once again returned to the four humors

[queerfemme]

the moon is a lesbian and she hates terfs

[queerfemme]

the moon told me personally that she thinks you’re obnoxious and hopes you never get a girlfriend

[q-is-a-letter]

I have a theory that the moon IS a trans woman cause she’s always associated with feminine things but when we saw the craters that look like a face we called it “The Man In The Moon”. She’s a woman with a face that people may perceive as male. She’s a beautiful trans woman

[queerfemme]

[excalibelle]

the moon is a beautiful trans woman who hates terfs and shows her face every night to remind other trans women they are beautiful and strong and loved and important and wonderful and that terfs and their opinions dont matter

[hiranyaksha-deactivated20220613]

I wanna add to this if it’s ok?? In Hindu mythology, Chandra, the moon, was originally thought of as a male deity. However, as time went on, symbolism involving the moon and the name “Chandra” itself became identified with femininity, with beautiful girls being described as having “moon-like faces,” with their dark, long hair reminding lovers of the midnight sky, and names like “Nilaa” (”moon” in Tamil) and “Indu” (in Sanskrit) are now pretty much now completely girl names! 

AlsO Chandra is married to 27 wives, who are all stars. The moon is a trans lesbian and is gay for all the stars in the sky.

The three types of kink are

* you have power

* you're safe

* feet

[foone]

this is a shitpost but I think it's not THAT wrong. Most kink is either one of (or a combination of):

You get to play at having power over someone else. This is your dominance sorts of things, your sadisms, etc.

You get to play safely. You can play with scary things while knowing there's safewords and a dom/top who loves you.

Feet. By which I mean, there's some normal part of the human experience that your brain has for some reason fixated on. Maybe you're into red hair, or glasses, or fluffy tails.

[foone]

"safety" can also present as "useful". You have some intrinsic value that cannot be taken from you (because of some sex/kink thing). The safety is from abandonment, because you're useful, despite everything. And "useful" is a bunch of kinks (none of which I'm comfortable mentioning here).

[sleepydogdisease]

oh no, animal ears are feet

[foone]

yeah. cat ears are feet!

can someone turn this into the calvin's dad dialogue

[foone]

oh god, this is so obviously calvin's dad dialogue that now I'm worried that I plagiarized it without realizing it

[madigail]

the two types of tumblr post are calvin's dad and rule 34. all posts fall into one of these two categories. despite being kink-related, this post is actually calvin's dad.

Saw a post about the sesamarot and wanted to share my favorite reading

[drumlincountry]

If your life is horrible and you need a new source of meaning and direction.... Do NOT find religion. Learn to identify plants.

[divinum-pacis]

“Eternally bright, Hestia who quietly resides by the hearth flame, I praise you! Come to my home, Oh goddess, And listen to the hymn which I have prepared for you. Loving daughter of Kronos, I beckon you to this place! Wrapped in warm fabrics, Cuddled beside pets and children, You are the most comforting goddess of them all. You bring solace to the broken hearted and homeless, Aid the sick by giving them hot meals, And are a motherly figure for many. Wonderful Hestia, I bring all honour to you! When homes cone crashing down due to disaster, It is you who guides first responders to crying infants And reunites dogs with their families. You can be found with brick and mortar in each hand, Slowly but steadily remaking a house for the ones you hold dear. Tears roll down your eyes for the sorrowful ones, And your sympathy brings heart to them. Hestia who clothes the naked, Holds the abandoned, And cares for the unwanted, I praise you! May your household flourish forever, Here and on Olympos! Goddess of fire I set my offering before your feet, And say Khaire, For I shall remember you in another song, too.”

Hymn to Hestia

Hestia is….

Just about every "AKSHUALLY, this thing is SECRETLY PAGAN!" claim can be traced back to:

Protestants making shit up to try and "prove" whatever shit they decided to hate on was secretly Satanic.

German nationalists making shit up trying to "prove" that Christian holidays had no connection to anything Jewish.

People failing to understand that European converts to Christianity retained many of their old customs and traditions, because Jesus being Lord doesn't mean there's no dragons in that there lake or that the plant lore everybody knows is all bunk.

People making wild assumptions due to a failure to comprehend that similarities between traditions does not inherently imply connection between traditions.

Meanwhile, in Italy...

"Former culture undersecretary Vittorio Sgarbi defends the girl who climbed Giambologna's Bacchus statue in Florence miming a sexual act. 'It is a transfiguration: when art is truer than life. An amorous exaltation. No real man can compete with Cellini's Perseus. A drunk girl performs a critical act, not an erotic one.'"
