[imsobadatnicknames2]

The fact that there’s an actually functional website for the library of Babel is one of those things that fucks me up more and more the more I think about the implications.

[imsobadatnicknames2]

So, if anyone hasn’t encountered the concept of the library of Babel, the idea comes from a story of the same name by Jorge Luis Borges, which is set inside a seemingly infinite library which contains every possible combination of letters, periods, commas and spaces that fits within 410 pages.

So like… It isn’t THAT out there that someone was able to make a digital version of it. Making an algorithm that randomly generates every possible combination of those 29 characters within that space and making a website that lets you explore those combinations are things that are pretty squarely within the scope of things you’d expect someone to be able to make a computer do.

But it begins to get pretty out there when you start thinking about all the things that are technically contained there (and that someone randomly browsing it could THEORETICALLY stumble upon) just by virtue of being one of those possible combinations of letters, spaces, commas, and periods.

Somewhere in that website there IS a book that specifically mentions me by full name before giving an accurate, excruciatingly detailed, 410-page long physical description of me. There’ also many more books that SEEM to be that but are actually factually inaccurate. There’s also versions of all of those containing every possible combination of every possible typo, spelling mistake, and grammatical error.

Somewhere in that website there IS a book that’s a perfectly accurate prediction of how and when I will die narrated in third person over the course of 410 pages. There’s also a book that contains the exact same events narrated in first person. Not only for me, but for every person in the world. There are many more that claim to be that but are actually inaccurate.

Somewhere in that website there IS a book that’s completely blank except for the world’s funniest dick joke written right at the end of the very last page.

But chances are no one browsing that website is EVER going to see any of that because for every book we would consider useful, interesting, or even intelligible there are millions upon millions upon millions more that are just completely full of gibberish from cover to cover.

[imsobadatnicknames2]

Every single thing I will ever write (barring punctuation marks that arent periods or commas and the letter ñ) is already contained somewhere on that website.

[sevensmallgummies]

I have a volume from the Library of Babel! it’s one of my most treasured books.

on the second to last page, about halfway down it reads “OH TIME THY PYRAMIDS” a singular grain of order in the sea of chaos.

The library of babel contains every book to ever exist and moreover it contains all information that can be encoded in a finite string of characters from its alphabet.

I cannot overstate how much I love the Library of Babel. it’s wonderful, it is my heart and soul.

at last we created the perplexing nexus, from the novel “wouldnt it be weird if there was a perplexing nexus?”

[witchytarotclementine]

Usamos nuestros talismanes y amuletos para atraer la buena suerte, protegernos de energías negativas, o para algún propósito en concreto. Si nuestro amuleto o talismán sufre algún percance, veamos que debemos hacer en cada caso.

Si se ROMPE es signo de que nuestro objeto ha hecho su trabajo y ha ”parado” o absorbido cualquier tipo de mal o energía negativa que iba destinada hacia nosotros. En este caso debemos deshacernos de el, aconsejo enterrarlo, y usar uno nuevo en su lugar.

Si lo PERDEMOS es signo de que no lo necesitamos, que ese amuleto no es para nosotros, y debemos sustituirlo por otro diferente que esté hecho para el propósito concreto que deseamos. En ocasiones ocurre, que buscando alguna cosa por casa, nos encontramos con aquella, piedra, cristal , o colgante, que llevábamos años sin ver, y cae sin mas en nuestras manos… es señal de que es momento de que esté con nosotros, lo necesitamos.

Si nos ROBAN un talismán o amuleto, debemos sustituirlo por uno nuevo, quizá era el momento de reemplazarlo por otro.

Si tenemos un talismán o amuleto que fue elaborado con varias piezas y se DESARMA, significa que alguien esta proyectando suficiente energía y malos deseos hacia ti, tratando de destruir lo que hemos construido, pero el talismán o amuleto nos ha salvado de esas malas intenciones; en este caso mientras no se rompan las piezas, es suficiente con volver a armarlas, para que nos siga protegiendo, personalmente, yo me haría con uno nuevo, ya que éste ya está impregnado por estas energías las cuales ha frenado y no quisiera eso conmigo.

Si notas que pierde su color, se MANCHA lo ves rayado o en caso de un cristal, se vuelve opaco, es porque a absorbido mucha energía negativas que tratan de hacernos daño; a veces con limpiarlos es suficiente, pero no siempre quedan como antes, si notas que siguen manchados, rayados, u opacos… deshazte de el y sustitúyelo por uno nuevo.

Amuletos Poderosos: Conoce el Nudo de las Brujas

Conectado con la antigua cultura celta, el Nudo de las Brujas es un legendario amuleto de protección, asociado con la capacidad mágica de crear hechizos anudando trozos de cintas y cordeles.

Empleado (generalmente) por practicantes de Wicca Celta, el Nudo de las Brujas es considerado como un talismán capaz de rechazar los conjuros que son arrojados contra su propietario, con intenciones malignas.

El Nudo de las Bruja no solo anula los hechizos y la negatividad, sino que la devuelve a la fuente de origen, convirtiéndose en un eficaz medio de defensa y ataque, para las personas que trabajan con la magia.

La relación del Nudo de las Brujas con las antiguas practicantes de magia, está basada en los hechizos de ataduras: rituales ancestrales ejecutados con la ayuda de cordeles de fibra natural y en ocasiones una pequeña figura o imagen.

Aunque en la actualidad, la referencia más común de los hechizos de ataduras se relaciona con la magia dominante (por ejemplo para “amarrar” a una pareja), no era el principio original para el que fue creado el ritual.

Antiguamente, los hechizos de ataduras eran una protección (se “ataba” a un individuo para evitar que dañará a otros) o un elemento para la curación y la buena suerte (desatar nudos para facilitar un parto o resolver conflictos).

Palmistry 101: What is your Element?

Cheiromancy, more commonly known as Palmistry, has been a form of divination that I loved doing and learning about when I was younger. It is also one of my favorite forms of divination because all the materials that you need is quite literally at your fingertips. While there are many topics to talk about, this post is going to focus on the types of hands and their elements.

Quick History

Palmistry has been an ancient method of divination that has history across Europe and Asia, there has been evidence that palmistry has been used in China and Egypt as far back as 4000 BC. It was used by the philosopher Aristotle who was fascinated by palmistry and passed on his knowledge of it to Alexander the Great. The practice of palmistry was banned by the Christian Church as it was rooted in pagan practices. But it continued to spread across China, India and other areas located in the middle east.

Medical researchers at the time believed that there was a correlation between the lines on one’s palm and their medical background. There has been a connection between Chinese palmistry and the correlation of the lines of the palms with health, that certain lines can aid in diagnosing illness. Today it is commonly used to read someone’s personality, their past and outcomes of the future.

Right and Left handed

There are different interpretations on which hand one should read. You can consider all of these options and go with what you feel is best when interpreting for a reading. Some consider the left hand the hand that shows potential, while the right hand is what one does with that potential. Some consider it the Left is what god gives you and the right is what you do with it, or that the left is your past and the right is your future. The dominant hand reflects a person’s conscious, their public face and future events. The other hand represents a person’s private self (what they don’t show to others on the outside), one’s instincts and intuition and events of one’s past.

But rather than focusing on what hand is the hand to read, it's good to keep in mind it's not always the right hand versus the left hand, it's good to learn the traits of both hands. Learn to read both hands and look at which hand is the dominant hand since it is your hands that channels energy. Based on traditional belief, the right hand is the dominant hand to read and the left is the passive hand. If a person is left-handed, then these roles may be switched.

If the person is Ambidextrous then don't worry, there will still be a dominant hand. Usually the hand with the stronger thumb is the dominant hand, regardless of how often they use both hands there will still be a hand that is more dominant than the other.

Just remember it is, overall, best to read both hands. It is important to know which hand is the dominant hand in order to have a better idea of the interpretation of your reading.

Types of Hands

Hand Elements were brought back into attention and developed by Fred Gettings in the 1960s’ in Western Palmistry. The whole shape of the hand brings a quick perspective of one's personality. The idea of categorizing a person’s hands based on the element they are dominated by allows for more complexity in the original system that was previously used. In Gettings' view of elements he gives the idea that a person is a being that is upon by the forces of nature and as a part of nature themselves. The hand types are separated into the four elements and are sometimes associated with the elements that each zodiacs elements.

It is important to note that while there are four categories that hands can be separated into, not all hands are going to look the same.

Fire Hands

The characteristics of those with Fire hands are long palms, wide or square palms, short fingers. The fingers are usually shorter than the palm and the mount of venus (the region of the palm located at the thumb) is usually firm and full. Those with fire type hands often have high energy and work best under pressure, they prefer to look at the bigger picture than look at the fine details. They are enthusiastic and energetic at their best but can be impatient and easily bored especially when they are not being constantly challenged. Like fire, those with fire hands sometimes need to be handled with caution, while energizing and constantly moving they can be emotional and a bit hard to handle and can be prone to being burnt out. But the emotions of a fire hand person let them experience life fully. A person with fire hands is always doing something physical, it's sometimes a way to let off steam when frustrated. They tend to be competitive, restless and intense to the point that sometimes they find other people frustrating. Fire handed people are not the type to be passive, they are always helped by doing and motivating.

Air Hands

Hands that are considered Air hands have square palms, that are equal to the length of their fingers with protruding knuckles. Their palms may look thinner, and the base of their palms will be flat. Those with air type hands are creative and need variety in their life. People with these types of hands are good communicators, and have a cheerful, carefree personality. These are people that are always moving and doing something, oftentimes they seek activities that challenge them intellectually. They are natural thinkers and teachers, they are argumentative, have open minds and are always asking why. They want to be challenged mentally and love public recognition. But they strive to be recognized and lead to the temptation to be deceptive and to plagiarize. Those with air hands tend to become fickle when they are unable to gain their goals. They tend to focus on their logic rather than their intuition, they are witty and express themselves well. They communicate well and often are on career paths that use those skills, they like technical work and love to specialize in something to improve on it. They don't like to be limited in their goals and can find it frustrating. They often organize things into formulas and love exchanging ideas with others.But their strong reliance on logic often leads them to ignore the emotions of others and themselves. Relationships are important to them, they are reliable and like to finish what they started. Air hands have a need for stimulating conversations and like to surround themselves with people that do that. They are somewhat eccentric, naturally over thing and over-analyse. If they don’t have a clear mind they will get stressed.

Earth hands

Those with earth hands have square palms, the length of their fingers are the same as their palms to their wrists. They have short thicker fingers and sometimes have less prominent lines. Individuals with earth hands are level headed and like to have their things in order. The earth represents stability and is timeless while at the same time it is constantly changing. They have strong instincts and endurance, are down to earth and usually very stable. They like routines and anything that brings stability in their life whether it's their job, their life or hobbies. They are strong and like to be in supportive roles and are providing to others. They prefer the outdoors and tend to be slow but patient. Earth handed people do not like being rushed while at the same time they don't like wasting time. They can be very honest and blunt in good and bad ways, but are reliable and tolerant. At times earth hands can be materialistic because they are motivated by things that bring stability and oftentimes that is money. Earth hands can be insensitive and overly cautious when they are having their worst days but are also the most reliable of the elements. Earth hands don’t like change, they sometimes have trouble adapting when things have changed. But they also have fair judgement, strive for success and seek fairness. They are practical and enjoy repetitive work, they enjoy rhythm and working with their hands. Those with earth hands tend to be reserved but can react irrationally at times. Unlike the other elements they don't usually become affected by their surroundings but rather be a presence that brings a stable environment.

Water hands

Water hands have short palms and long flexible fingers. Those with water hands are emotional and sensitive, extremely empathetic and creative. They sometimes can appear over sensitive, intolerant or over all cold, but they also feel the need to be protective. They are adaptable to their surroundings, water hands are extremely perceptive and can be impressionable. They have a great imagination and can picture out just about anything. They can often be influenced by others in both good and bad ways. Water handed people are the most sensitive and intuitive of the elements and when they like someone they will always want to spend time with them as people and relationships are extremely important to them. But water hands also need time to themselves and reflect on their inner self, this is something they often neglect. Their feelings are going to be a deciding factor in most of their decisions, their emotions and how they feel is important. Because they care about people the most they are not materialistic. They love working with people and often they are great care givers, therapists, counsellors, ect. They are one of the most creative types and always need a creative outlet of some kind. It helps them understand their emotions and can be rewarding, not matter how good an artist they are. They are not competitive like the fire hand, it does not suit them, competitive jobs and workplaces are challenging to them. They are often easily influenced compared to the other elements, they like to go with the flow and are easy going.

You don't have to be formal and revere every single entity. Thinking so is a (toxic) Christian mindset.

So if you've ever been on witchtok, I'm sure you've seen at least a few of the many videos of practitioners making dramatized skits of interactions that they've had with their deities and/or the entities they work with.

Many of these are funny and light-hearted or endearing and loving. We see ppl sharing jokes and laughs with Apollon and we get to hear all the nicknames that Archangel Uriel gave to 23 year old Zoe. It's cute and it's fun.

But there's always at least one person that stitches one of these skits, swearing up and down that this is disrespectful and that this never happened.

"The gods aren't ur fucking besties. Ur a human, they're a god. They're not gonna waste their time on stupid thing with you. No, Aphrodite did not help you pick ur outfit. No, Loki did not ask you to get him Mt Dew from the store. No, Hermes did not call you sweet strawberry. That's stupid and they have better things to do with their time. Ur relationship with the gods should be formal and professional. You should revere them with great fear. Ur an ant to them. You should feel honored that they even looked ur way. So stfu with all of this. Ur just experiencing spiritual psychosis".

Now I will not deny the fact that there are some entities that you can't have a casual relationship. There are entities out there that demand reference. Where they demand that you bow down and fear them. That you address them formally and mind ur P's and Q's and not even think of stepping even a hair out of line.

But there are also entities that are more than willing to have casual relationships with their devotees.

Maybe Aphrodite did help Sally pick her outfit today. Bc she's the goddess of beauty and she wants her devotee to feel pretty when she goes to get milk, eggs, and bread from the store today.

How would you know if she did or didn't help her devotee get dressed up? It's not ur place to say whether it happened or not. It's not ur place to place limits on the gods or to speak for them. It's not ur place to judge another persons relationship with their deity. And it's especially not ur place to decide who is and who isn't experiencing spiritual psychosis or not.

I call The Morrìgan my mother. There have been countless times where we've had playful banter. She tells me to go take a shower and I say, "bitch no, make me". Does she smite me bc I, a mere lowly mortal called her, a powerful goddess, bitch? No. She simply stares at me with that "you wanna test me?" mom look and I scurry on my way with a groan and a "fiiiiiiine" and then we laugh about it.

The idea that we must be formal with the gods no matter what and revere them to the point where we fear them is a toxic Christian mindset.

I grew up in a extremely Christian household most my life. I was taught to revere God and fear his almighty power. Bc I was a tiny human. I did not deserve to be in his presence. I was lucky to be loved by the king of all creation. I was luck to have the Lord of Lords, the King of Kings, see me as on of her own. I should be trembling at her power, bc she could smite me at anytime for anything.

This is a very common mindset within the Christian community, especially with more mainstream sects. So to see this in pagan and witchy circles can be a bit disheartening and even infuriating.

Many ppl leave Christianity and join paganism to get away from Christianity and to finally find freedom and joy. But if you left Christianity but then edited ur Christian views to be pagan. Then dear you never left Christianity. You simply repainted the walls.

And I get it. Decolonizing ur path can be very hard. It's a long road full of shadow work, tears, anger, and much more. And that can be scary. But don't say you moved houses when you only changed the decor within ur home.

I think I've said everything I want to say. So I'll finish this post by saying, don't judge other ppls relationships or journeys. Revering and fearing the gods may work for you and feel right to you, but that doesn't mean that everyone is gonna feel comfortable walking the same road that you do. So either be polite or kindly stfu.

[desertwaterwitch]

I personally don’t work with deities but I agree with this. I also think that even though OP is right about the Christian mindset, sometimes it’s not that easy to just turn off that switch that was engrained in you from an early age. Even though I love witchcraft, I am constantly EVERYDAY, attempting to push aside the things that I was told when I was Christian. It is NOT that easy for some people. I have been practicing on and off for almost 3 years and part of that is because of the doubt that was instilled in my mind from growing up Christian. It’s something I struggle with daily.

🌟natal astrology observations part 1 🌟

✫ every gemini moon I've ever known has a terrible habit of lying completely unprovoked, especially if their mercury is also in an air sign. however, I think it just comes from a place of playfulness and excitement rather than deeper deception or manipulation.

✫ people w chiron conjunct/square/opposite jupiter are unbelievably dogmatic if they don't make a conscious effort not to be. they have this air about them that screams "you will never fully understand a concept unless I am the one to specifically explain it to you".

✫ (tw: dv) every person w chiron conjunct mars that I've met grew up in a HIGH crime neighborhood or had a lot of DV in the home. especially if it is in the 3rd, 4th, or 7th house.

✫ the 12th house represents your experience in the womb. ex: jupiter in 12H probably had a very lovely time in the womb, mom probably ate all the right things, sang to you, and lots of love and warmth. mercury in 12H might've had a mom who was overthinking or maybe very stressed during pregnancy (if you are more interested in this idea, read The Development of the Personality vol 1. by Howard Sasportas).

✫ men with lilith conjunct/square neptune tend to have SUCH a skewed image of women/femininity. they tend to have crazy "post-nut clarity", they'll see women as completely flawless until they get off then they hate them with their whole hearts.

✫ you will 100% know if a person w pluto conjunct venus is in love with you or not. they will go to the ends of the earth to prove their unconditional love. for them, love has to cost something for it to count- there needs to be some type of sacrifice.

✫ sun/ascendant conjunct pluto are polarizing as all hell. you either love them or you hate them, and honestly, that is determined by where the overlay is for your chart- people project on them a lot.

✫ saturn in the 8th or 12th house are the types of people to spend their whole time inebriated/under the influence trying to convince other people they aren't faded. there's this weird need to prove that they have everything under control and can handle their shit. IMO, psychedelics would be pretty rough for them (or at least extremely transformative).

✫ venus opposite saturn feels immense dissatisfaction with indulgence if it has not been worked for. the type to play hooky and regret it the moment they call out.

✫ sagittarius moons are almost always louder about stuff they have no clue about than their area of expertise. always assumes you want their unsolicited advice and get upset when you don't 💀

[strangesigils]

In context with this post on sigil making, you need to break up letters into their basic shapes. I’ve gotten a few messages from people who don’t know how to do that, which is totally understandable, so here’s a guide. I didn’t include vowels because you don’t use vowels when making this kind of sigil.

Um… the A is missing in this.

Another tree that thrives on opposition and uses difficulties as a springboard for positive action; a tree that works especially well with animus energies in women or in resolving issues with men in your life.

Warding

I've covered warding recently in my protection post. But here I will go into more detail on what warding is, the most popular ways to ward and how to create them as well as when to know when a ward is no longer useful or has been broken. I will also go into baneful warding and what it is.

What is warding?

Warding is a form of defensive magick which acts as your first line of defense against negativity. Be this baneful magick from another practitioner or negative entities and general negative energy. There are multiple ways to ward with each practitioner warding differently to the other. Wards come in all shapes and forms, and there is no limit as to how much warding you should do, you protect yourself as you see fit.

What is baneful warding?

Baneful warding is a form of warding in which the negative that hits a ward gets sent back to its source. Baneful warding is seen as a more "advanced" form of magick, however not too advanced for a novice to do with the appropriate amount of research. Baneful warding can come in the same forms as normal warding would.

Warding jars

Perhaps one of the most common wardings on this post, warding jats usually contain ingredients charged with the intention of warding. These ingredients usually range from herbs to bodily fluids such as saliva or blood. These jars are either buried on the practitioners property, left above entryway, left on an altar, or are carried with the practitioner when they want protection on the go.

A warding jar might contain: ashes of a warding sigil, bodily fluids, herbs and plants, crystals, bones, warding or protection oils, spices, metals, glass shards etc. These jars are then sealed with black or white wax (or are sealed in any other way, with glue, tape or simply just with intention).

When a warding jar is broken, you might find the contents of the jar to become moldy, the jar shatters, the seal might break or the contents of the jar to go off, you also might feel that the jar no longer has its power. When this happens, if the jar is intact, break the seal and empty the contents into the bin/trash or return them back to the earth. You can then cleanse the jar with your preferred method of cleansing and reuse the jar for another ward or spell.

Talismans and symbols

Talismans are objects which are charged with the intention fo protection or warding. A well known example would be the Nazar, known to ward off the evil eye.

Symbols are used to represent something or represent an intention example would be the pentacle/pentagram, a well known protection symbol. Another example could by the Eye of Horus, a symbol used by the Ancient Egyptians for protection, health and restoration.

You can create your own talismans and symbols to aid in warding. These might be used to ward against a specific thing, or can be used as a general ward to all negativity.

A talisman or symbol might break or feel like they're no longer useful once theyve done thier job. If this time comes, you can simply dispose of the old one and create a new one.

Sigils

Sigils are created and can be programmed with any purpose necessary. May this be warding ot cursing, they can be used for almost any working.

Sigils can be burnt to activate them, with the ashes being used in spells to add extra power. Sigils can be put up around your house or around your room for warding. These sigils can look like anything, simply draw them with the intention of warding.

Crystals

Crystals can be placed above entryways or in windows to act as a ward. Crystals can also be added to spells to give a desired effect or worn as jewellery to act as warding or protection on the go.

Some examples are: black obsidian, black tourmaline, clear quartz, amethyst, hematite.

When a crystal ward has been broken, the crystal might shatter, or go missing. Or you may feel the crystals energy feels different than usual. With crystals you cam simply cleanse and recharge the crystals to be used again!

Spells

Warding spells can be as simple as a dressed candle, or can be a complex ritual. Warding spells differ from practitioner to practitioner. Similar to warding jars, these spells might include the use of herbs, bodily fluids, crystals, plants etc. The methods of creating a warding spell vary, as there is no one way to create one.

When a ward breaks down, you might feel the ward break, or if it does what is intended, you might feel something bounce off the ward. Depending on the negativity sent your way, the ways in which you might feel a warding spell break down vary, this could range from feeling sluggish or nauseous to downright feeling psychic attack. (Whenever this happens, please consult a doctor, mundane before magical. What you may feel is a magical occurrence could be explained by illness, so please consult a doctor of you feel this way constantly)

Warding is a great form of protection which is used very often in a persons practice. While not all practitioners use warding, this is just to inform you of the ways you can ward to keep yourself safe in your practice!

I wish you had fixed things on your own

I wish you hadn't stabbed me in the back

So now you'll learn to do better and be better

I think its time this is finally done and I feel bad that this is how it is but I've tried so much to help you and make things better and you just made them worse

So no more lying and no more hurting people

No more over stepping boundaries and no more losing control

Its time that you cool off and take a breathe

I really do wish you the best
