°•☆Intro Post☆•°

hiii! welcome to my little blog :] my name is Aurora or Rori for short. This is my main blog as im returning to tumblr as an adult and wanted a fresh slate! my pronouns are she/they and i am 18. I have C-PTSD and am chronically ill as well as being queer, which may occasionally be relevant to my blog

this blog doesnt have any particular goal or theme, just to post about my interests and hopefully meet people with similar interests! Im an artist but typically dont post my art on tumblr, you can check out my pinterest: @eggsareveryswag and my insta: @lady.bug.stuff

heres some random examples of my artwork!

some little things about me, i love (folklore accurate) unicorns 🦄 and ladybugs! 🐞 theyre very important to me and i love when my friends show me ladybugs and unicorns that remind them of me :] my favorite colors are pink💗 and green🌿

some other things of note i am a witch of about 7ish years, and an Aphrodite devotee of 5. I also work with Selene, Hekate, Psyche and Lilith. I also feel a lot of reverence for Virgin de Guadalupe as i grew up around folk catholicism. My current spiritual practice is centered around ancient religions, the spirituality of women throughout history, goddess worship, and earth based practice. Im also very interested in Dianic based practices (though i am not and dont plan to be wiccan, i just love woman centered witchcraft) and am also very interested in gnostic gospels and specifically Mary Magdalene. My practice is very eclectic but if i had to describe my practice id say Id call myself an art witch, a green witch, and a divination witch. Im a tarot nerd i love divination of many forms but cards are my #1, i also love charm reading and i ching!

!!!disclaimer!!!: i post a lot of woman and female centered spirituality and witchcraft content. i am NOT a terf, this is just what aligns with my personal practice. trans women are women and are welcome here!! terfs are NOT

im also a huge art history nerd so there will be plenty of that aswell, My favorite place to be is the art museum. I am very passionate about humanities, I love learning about history, culture, religion, archeology, anthropology, ancient people, etc. heres a photo of my favorite sculpture in the san antonio museum of art!

my dms are VERY open I love meeting people and making friends! if anything on my blog or in this post interests you at all please message me! i also would love to receive asks about any of these topics mentioned or neighboring topics! :D

Id prefer to keep dms 16+ as im not comfortable interracting with people younger than that at this point in my life :] dni: the typical suspects- transphobes, queerphobes, ableists, TERFs, maga, ice supporters, etc. as well as endogenic systems or endo related blogs.

I bring a certain “divine feminine/masculine concepts and archetypes are gender essentialist and ahistorical garbage and a red flag” vibe to the function that many do not like but they also hated Jesus because he spoke the truth so—

[unicorns-n-ladybugs]

im so with you, i also believe gender isnt real except for as political identity (like im a woman so i face the discrimination of a woman) but id like to add some other perspective if its ok. like for me im a childhood sex trafficking survivor and a female focused practice is really healing for me to reclaim my body and identity, and to center feminine deities in my practice rather than masculine ones. I also think its important to point out its something women typically do because our deities and religions have been choked out by patriarchal systems. ive also known trans people who found a lot of comfort in finding some kind of divinity in the way they identify/present. i love ur blog just wanted to add my 2 cents. you can absolutely see your identity and/or body as being divine without being gender essentialist, its your practice and it should bring you comfort. you can incorporate your identity into your personal practice without being a terf.

[ohholydyke]

Centering femininity and gender is one thing, including celebrating your own identity and gender. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with any of that, though I may personally not adhere to some beliefs. However, that’s not what my above post is referring to.

“The divine feminine” and “the divine masculine” are concepts related to a lot of new age-y practices. They posit this idea that there’s some big cohesive identifiable femininity and masculinity that’s universal and external beyond humanity and shows up within people. There’s no way to do that without flattening cultures and time, or making weird calls about femininity or masculinity always having to be a certain way. It’s not just about celebrating and elevating your gender or adhering to a goddess-oriented practice, though those may be common aspects people reference when they talk about these concepts. Though there is another issue with TDF/TDM ideology in that it does flatten out various different spiritualities and religions including various different spirits/deities/entities surrounding some big nebulous idea of femininity or masculinity, often divorced from the actual historical, cultural and religious contexts of those figures. Like many new age practices, it flattens out historical and current practices and hollows them out, and then it sells them under an often very white model of gender that’s applied universally and said to be some sort of universal constant. When you start making claims like that, the gender essentialism and ahistoricism come crashing down real fast, as does cultural erasure and often Eurocentric and white supremacist models of gender.

thats super fair thank you for elaborating. I just thought I'd tack that on to your statement because i engage in female centered spirituality and everyone in those communities are terfs and im trying to make space for those of us that are not terfs lol. i agree with everything you said here 100% thank you for your time :]

[puzzled-on-main]

am i allowed to say kill all trillionaires or is that too specific of a threat

Just to be clear,

my baby sibling identifies as non-binary and I support them unconditionally. This blog is not a TERF-friendly space.

[unicorns-n-ladybugs]

mine too! this blog is a safe space for queer people, and not for terfs!

[balkanradfem]

christianity will be like, nooo, don't worship life-giving nature, thousand  year old trees or mountains or sources of clean water or animals that existed long before us, or women who created all human life on earth, those are just resources! Don't learn about the medicinal plants or how to safely deliver children and cure women's diseases, that's devil's business!

... this m*n we nailed we sadistically nailed on a stick and let slowly die, tho... thats D I V I N E

[psalms-and-spells]

Folk Christians and Christian witches I think we need to start being louder because the amount of baby Christians, or even born-and-breed Christians, that don’t know we are an option is insane.

Talking about how I view faith has made so many peoples eyes light up it’s insane. Like yes you can get weird with religion it’s allowed.

[psalms-and-spells]

If your feminism cannot GRASP that some women want to cover up for reasons other than men sexualizing them. Then I fear your feminism is weak sauce.

Same goes for if you can’t grasp that a woman can wear ‘immodest’ clothes for anything other than men’s desire.

[psalms-and-spells]

Actually I’m going to say something even more controversial. People with weak sauce feminism hold onto your socks.

You can in fact choose whatever you wear because of men and still be feminist. One of the most badass people I know wears a full khimar and specifically does it 1. Cause she is religious, but 2. Because she says that she feels empowered because men are not owed the right to look at her body.

And you know what… she is right. Yes her choice in outfit is based on men but when you live in a patriarchal society NEWS FLASH your decision will have to consider the patriarchy in some way. Because at the end of the day misogynistic men in power will view women as less than whether they cover up or not. So the real choice is wearing whatever you think will make these men most uncomfortable and give you the best ability to fight against the patriarchy. HOWEVER that looks like to you.

[unicorns-n-ladybugs]

one of my closest friends and mentors is my art teacher from highschool, and she talked to me a lot about how the older she gets the more shes drawn to shapeless clothes. She wore lots of loose fitting fabrics and even modified her clothes to be that way. she said she was tired of men looking at her and she wanted then to be completely unable to see her body at all. i dont see that as anything but powerful personally

[littledoveofdea]

After some time in isolation and contemplation, I have returned to Tumblr in hopes of connecting with community and like-minded friends. I offer my pridefulness to the cleansing fires of this season, may only Her love remain.

i volunteer as tribute lol

[aropride]

"nothing is real atoms never touch each other youve never touched anything in your life" ok. well when i pet my dog he is soft and when he licks my hand it is wet and that is far more real to me than whatevers going on at an atomic level

[aropride]

what my atoms are doing is their fucking business man i'm busy trying to stop my dog from eating tissues directly out of the box

[duckbunny]

nuclei don't touch, but the nucleus is not the core of reality. reality is made of electrons dancing. reality is made of bonds.

you pet your dog and the atoms that are you brush up against the atoms that are him, and the electrons that are you press into the electrons that are him, and both of them change their movement.

electrons of course are not really particles and do not really move.

you pet your dog and the electron-orbitals of your skin overlap with the electron-orbitals of his fur, and both are changed by the contact. you are not made of little motes floating alone in a void. you are a single unfathomable chord formed of a trillion vibrations, and so is he. and the note you play is changing at every moment by what you touch and how you breathe, and so is his. and atoms do not really have edges, and to touch is to interact, and when you put your hand on your dog the universe does not know that you are separate. the song expands to hold you both.

[unicorns-n-ladybugs]

and did you know that when you really get close, nothing really touches bro it just kinda floats

[thetombisempty]

it’s kinda funny cuz sometimes when i fall down a terf rabbit hole on here i’ll think oh no! what if they’re right???

and then i realize that their whole “GENDER IDEOLOGY IS HOMOPHOBIA AND ERASES FEMININE GAY MEN AND MASCULINE LESBIAN WOMEN” kinda falls apart when you factor in trans gay men and trans lesbian women lol

[hereticalapothecary]

*gestures to my religious beliefs*

Welcome to whatever the fuck this is

[thetombisempty]

Gonna commit to using feminine language for God from now on, I keep telling myself that I’m gonna do it but then I chicken out. No longer 😤

[unicorns-n-ladybugs]

realcore

[thetombisempty]

[unicorns-n-ladybugs]
