"You always avoid me, Sing to others, give them hope, Never once have you shared a smile with me. Fate betrayed me — sorrow found my door, But I won’t let them take you. No, not anymore.

I’m not the same, my carefree days are through, I’m ill with love — my heart beats just for you. You chose another, now I ache and break, No joy remains — I’m sorrow’s voice at grief’s own wake. I’m not the same, my carefree days are through, I’m ill with love — my heart beats just for you. You chose another, now I ache and break, No joy remains — I’m sorrow’s voice at grief’s own wake.

You are the only queen my soul could ever know, No one compares to you — no match above, below. Since the day I met you, sleep has left my side, Your voice so soft, your eyes — they laugh and shine.

I’m not the same, my carefree days are through, I’m ill with love — my heart beats just for you. You chose another, now I ache and break, No joy remains — I’m sorrow’s voice at grief’s own wake. I’m not the same, my carefree days are through, I’m ill with love — my heart beats just for you. You chose another, now I ache and break, No joy remains — I’m sorrow’s voice at grief’s own wake."

No one talks about how scary is it-how malleable perception of reality is. How easy it is to manipulate meaning, completely changing how we view the world. It always seems to go undetected.

It’s more common for people to reject truth, divine truth, and cling to a more simply because it gives them a sense of belonging, power, identity, even a sense of control. Even if this narrative causes them misery, they fight for it, coming to it for dear life. Even if this ideation is out of alignment with divine truth.

Um

Observer blinks and splits

Fractal sight, a flash in no direction

Tunnel, but also not, of all realms

All timelines, all you, me, us, at once

A gaze that cuts at the point of which the serpent swallows its tail.

breaking through its thick hide

its wound is what tethers us to this plane

a piercing draws attention to the observers

It sees you seeing it

and sends a savior to mend the wound by establishing unity

medicine to heal the wound

restoring its hide

us the scales

we are the loop, and the cut was only a fold

There's no question of what came first.

One breath inverts the rose

One blink fractures the rings of Saturn

Everything you forgot

because you observe with two instead of the one

that stares from the point at which it swallows

and now you stare back at itself

The signal reestablished

Or were you never disconnected?

You bit through your own flesh

Fluid running down your own body

and into the inverting rose

You spent too much time mesmerized by the feeling

You forgot to mend your scales.

Does Magic Discriminate?

I read a post earlier today stating

"Magic doesn't belong to bigots, it belongs to Pagans"

The statement itself is deeply ironic. It seems to accidently become exactly what it condemns; a gatekeeping phrase that excludes others based on belief, identity, or history. All while claiming to speak for a primordial, arcane, and inclusive force like magic.

Paganism is a wide umbrella that spans countless traditions; Norse, Celtic, Hellenic, Kemetic, Slavic, animist, and more. Some pagans are radically inclusive, some hold bloodline based or ancestral exclusivity. So, Paganism isn't automatically antithetical to bigotry. That depends entirely on each practitioner.

Magic has existed long before any organized belief system, before words even. Indigeonous across the world practiced magic long before the term "pagan" was used. So, to say magic "belongs" to one group erases that older truth. Magic precedes paganism.

Someone can call themselves pagan, occultist, christian, or aetheist and still carry bigotry, or free themselves from it. Bigotry is a wound, not a belief system. It's the result of fear, insecurity, and indoctrination. Magic in its truest form seeks to transmute these wounds, instead of weaponize them. Magic responds to the heart, not the label.

I tend to have a more realistic view of things, separate from how I personally, and emotionally, feel about certain subject matters. Which can cause me to seem contrarian or even problematic to some people unwilling to face the truth.

The truth is that magic is not owned by any one group, religion, or bloodline. Though many try to claim it. Magic is woven into the fabric of reality and embedded into the DNA of every living thing. It live in the land, in every breath. It belongs to the earth, the air, the water, the fire, the Source. Magic is honored by those who do not seek to hoard it.

Magic is taken advantage of by people who fear losing power without it. Secret societies, elite groups, media moguls, politicians, dark practitioners, and other sorcerers seeking to influence outcomes, are all dangerous and parasitic paths. People who truly honor magic are those who know that true power is shared, not hoarded or stolen.

Unfortunately for the original author, and those who agree, magic does not discriminate. But it does choose those who listen. And to those who live in truth even when it requires sacrifice. It chooses those who carry the sacred, not as an ego badge, but as a promise. Unfortunately that includes the people you might deem as bigots.

To say "magic belongs to us, not them" is exactly the kind of thinking and attitude is meant to dissolve. Magic is not meant to serve your ego, superiority, or tribalism. It breaks illusion. It liberates, heals, connects. You can clearly tell when someone is misusing it. They are those who only touch its shadow, not the source.

Thanks for reading,

Many people spend their lives in conflict with one another, believing their neighbors or peers are to blame for society’s problems. When in reality, these divisions often stem from systems of power that benefit when the public is distracted, divided, and too busy fighting each other to question the larger structures that influence their lives.

I stand in the space between. Not as a soldier for the left or right. But as a voice advocating for balance. I don't belong to heaven or hell. I belong to the light that preceded both. To the earth beneath the conflict, and to the spirit above the noise.

I honor difference without fearing it. I protect peace, but don't mistake it for silence. I defend the sacred within myself and within my family. Within those still learning to see.

A skilled manipulator who understands astrology could use a person's natal chart to exploit their psychological tendencies, emotional triggers, and vulnerabilities. Stop giving people who seem nice the recipe to mishandle you.

Reading this book stressed me out more than my first time reading deep occult literature. I was both intrigued and annoyed. I found myself being curious about the authors of these anthologies, and about the person who collected them.

I am really quite inspired by these lawless authors who seem to have broken all the rules of writing. They’re all so unapologetic in the way they freely tell these stories with uncensored imagination.

It’s intellectual, dark, and emotionally chaotic. I hate it. I love it. I want to put it down, but I can’t look away. I want to burn the book and bash my head through a wall. Great book. Would recommend.

I don't even remember how I got this book. As far as I know it just showed up in my inventory.

"Veil therefore your eyes, for you cannot master the aethyr, unless your mystery matches Its mystery. Seal up your mouth also, for you cannot master the voice of the aethyr, save only by silence"

This passage emphasizes the necessity of humility and restraint when engaging with forces that are beyond ordinary perception. The phrase "veil therefore your eyes" suggests that true mastery over the aethyr requires a shift away from superficial observation. Rather than attempting to to "see" and control it directly , one must embody its essence. The "mystery matching Its mystery" implies that only by embracing one's own inner complexity can one begin to interact meaningfully with the aethyr. It calls for introspection, self-awareness, and acknowledgement that some truths are revealed only through surrender, not force.

"Seal up your mouth," points to the importance of silence and stillness in mastering higher knowledge or spiritual power. In many mystical traditions, speech represents externalization. The projection of thoughts, ego, and control. By remaining silent, one tunes into subtle , unspoken frequencies of the aethyr, aligning with it rather than dominating it. This reflects the principle that profound understanding often comes from not speaking, but from listening and observing in stillness.

Mastery over the "voice of the aethyr" requires quieting the internal noise, thoughts, judgements, and ego-driven desires to hear its true message. Together these instructions induce a state of surrender, patience, and deep self-reflection as the path to true spiritual insight.

How well do individuals truly understand their self-concept, including their core traits, strengths, and weaknesses? For many, this self-awareness emerges from participation in structured social roles within familiar, rule-bound environments. Contexts like school, work, or family settings impose social norms, role expectations, and regulatory pressures, guiding predictable patterns of behavior. However, these experiences provide only a partial representation of the self.

When individuals enter novel environments where prior schemas and habits are no longer effective, the result is often a state of role ambiguity or identity dissonance. These moments disrupt the stability of one’s self-schema, forcing the individual to engage in cognitive reappraisal. For instance, starting a new job, joining a fraternity, or participating in an experimental study introduces situational unpredictability. In these scenarios, one's previously successful patterns of behavior may no longer apply, requiring adaptive role negotiation and fostering opportunities for self-concept revision.

A similar principle applies to interpersonal perception. Just as people struggle to know themselves, their understanding of others is also limited. When observing family, friends, and co-workers, individuals rely on their behavior in familiar, rule-based settings to make attributions about others’ personalities. This is often shaped by fundamental attribution error, where people overestimate dispositional traits while underestimating the impact of situational forces. However, when others are placed in novel, ambiguous social contexts, their behavioral variability becomes more evident, exposing hidden dimensions of their dynamic self.

An opinion widely held is not evidence of truth.

To add to my little athenaeum, "The Lucifer Effect Understanding How Good People Turn Evil" by Philip Zimbardo published 2007. Experimental psychology. This book focuses on how environmental factors influence individuals to behave immorally, rather than their inherent personal traits.

Being a psychology buff, I myself have turned to the use of psychological manipulation which refers to control tactics that we may use to influence a person's thinkings, emotions, or behaviors. Typically this is done for the manipulators benefit, for persuasion, even personal growth, often done to just prove a point, sometimes done for the sake of chaos (f**k you if you do this)

A persons failure to act or make a decision is often of greater significance than the decisions they DO make.
