HONKAI STAR RAIL MASTERLIST

MASTERLIST ・゜・NAVIGATION

✦ . Each person has their own unrealistic daydreams about things they want to experience: a day with unlimited money, exacting revenge on a particularly insufferable coworker, or perhaps the advent of superpowers. Paltry things, naturally, in response to the endless mundanity and strife present in a vast world.

✦ . Naturally, you’re no different: an overworked corporate pawn that fits uncomfortably in the statistical median. Each ambition of yours is imprisoned in a charcoal suit, and your only solace is escaping to other worlds to forget this one. That’s your daydream, wrapped neatly in a bound volume of novels and the cracked screen of your phone.

✦ . Apocalypse, martial arts, romance—you devour each and every genre. Horridly predictable clichés, trash storylines and badly written characters: they pile up, catalogued in your reading history with carefully curated reviews. There are gems that you wouldn’t mind ending up in; with those, you plan cautiously your ascent to a comfortable, entertaining life—an office worker versus the pixels on your phone. 

✦ . Alas, you wind up in a cliché of your own: entering an eternal slumber from overwork and reincarnating as a side character in the shitty b-rated romance novel your coworker recommended. Scratch that—not even a side character but an extra. It’s a karmic jab at the scathing vitriol you left buried in the comments, engaging with the work only to argue with people beneath each chapter about the god-awful plot devices and utter vapidity behind the character choices. Like, come on, a harem based on how ‘interesting’ the female lead is? Seriously? 

✦ . Except, the situation is very serious now. Shoved into the body of one of the male leads? You could’ve dealt with that hand. Reborn as the villain responsible for the situations that inevitably ended with each male lead getting closer to the heroine? Sure, you’ve read enough of those that you have a comprehensive, cited manual on how to turn around your fate. But… being born as a commoner in a fantasy setting, a good twenty years before the story actually starts, in a village that would likely be stricken by the plague or wiped off the map as a plot device? You’re screwed. 

✦ . Or that’s what you might’ve thought, if the plot wasn’t so predictable. 

✦ . You’ll set yourself up for life if you play your cards right—following each cliché like a trail of breadcrumbs to find each magical artifact or whatever, unlocking a magical core probably along the way, finding every obvious foreshadowing Chekhov’s gun style. Training to be the underdog knight who ends up as a second male lead? Pshh—that’s amateur stuff. You’ll make a name for yourself, journeying through the lands of Argo to steal the main characters’ glory. 

✦ . It’s simple. You wait for an inevitable war with demonic hordes that probably contributed to a tragic backstory in the main cast, and do your best to get recruited by the grizzled veteran who conveniently spots you training with a stick in one of the fields. Either you die and leave this stupid world, or you get lucky and rise up in the ranks—a win-win situation, really.

✦ . It hurts. The magic sword that you found located suspiciously in the forest looks into your soul and determines you are not in fact pure of heart and will wallop you until you are, thus the golden-haired Southern Duke’s heir Gepard Landau misses his opportunity to acquire the legendary Harpe, and you get to be beaten up in his stead. You don’t complain though—this is all part of the convoluted process that is mentioned once (never in detail) that creates a stupidly overpowered character. 

✦ . It hurts. The veteran who noticed your far-too-enthusiastic movements knows his stuff—in true cliché fashion—and you are molded into the perfect little soldier, bruised within an inch of your life. You learn various footwork techniques and the basics that shape your swordwork into something to be feared, that cuts down demons like wheat under a sickle. 

✦ . It hurts. Magic circles brand the tender walls of your heart when you’re thinking about the physics degree you started but never managed to complete, and you pass out a few times as they stabilise—but it’s fine. Pain is temporary; those sweet gains will be your plot armour. 

✦ . Guilt might have wracked your heart if you were one of those irritating protagonists that firmly believed they should stick to the plotline no matter what, but you aren’t. If it’s truly a fictional world you are in, then your actions won’t matter; and if it’s a real world, then your actions merely represent a parallel divergence in this universe, and the world actually doesn’t revolve around the main cast. 

✦ . You are the first to find the demonic stone that is meant to be absorbed by the Duke of the North, Yingxing—one of the more disturbing male leads—and consume it to catalyse the formation of additional magic circles around your body. He’s just some guy whose demonic heritage and extensive training created a ridiculously strong and edgy lead who is fixed or whatever by the sunny protagonist. 

✦ . It is when you accidentally-on-purpose stumble across the statue of an old goddess Idrila that your ripples culminate into a tidal wave of change. Within the subtle planes of the stone, a mythical being slumbers—meant to be the driving force behind the knight-turned-second-lead Argenti’s actions, yet will now be used to your full advantage as you drip your blood into the offering plate. No, she doesn’t grant wishes, but she does give him a pretty neat technique that creates a water-tight defense.

✦ . You may have gone too far. The paltry details you’ve robbed from the story—mere plot devices that only accelerate the male leads’ growth—have forged you into a war hero, practically capable of standing toe-to-toe with the Demon Queen herself. Well, not really. You won’t push your luck, even as you’re being awarded a medal of honour and a title for turning the tides. It’s a viscounty—far more than you expected, but you’ll take it, even with the whispers in high society about you. A commoner turned noble. Oh, the scandal—the horror. Truly, you could not care less as you return to the battlefield to find even more spoils—except, you almost crash into a herald on your way and stare incredulously as he delivers the king’s edict. 

✦ . Guard His Holiness. 

✦ . You were fine dealing with the murderous stare garnered from the Northern Duke as you politely bowed to the protagonist, fine with interacting with the two more rational male leads (though it was a controversial case when it came to Sir Argenti, if you were totally being honest), but His Holiness? Now, this wasn’t a plotline you could have predicted. If memory serves you correctly, mad dogs of the battlefield are, you know, kept in the battlefield slaughtering demons—not, you know, on guard duty. Is the king being for real?

✦ . He is, in fact, being for real. Part of you wants to take the rolled up parchment from the herald and bash it over your head, but another part of you appreciates the unexpected nature of the request. Or perhaps it’s expected, as the natural enemy of demons is the Church of Order, and they will likely be targeted by the hordes next. Except, you’re not quite sure why the most dangerous of the male leads, Sunday, needs protection. Of the unfortunate quartet, he is the most obsessive—the papal figure of Ena the Order, with his deluded faith coming only second to his absolute devotion to the heroine. 

✦ . Though, on second thoughts, heading to the church might be the only plausible course of action—you know, consult with whatever god is running this place, get some answers to the questions that have really been bugging you, like the logistics of this world, and perhaps why this feels far too like an easy mode on a video game with all the clues laid in front of you. You want a real head scratcher, now that everything’s fallen neatly into place: your wealth, title, and sick powers. 

✦ . Except, as you’re kneeling before a statue of Ena and fervently wishing for some explanations and perhaps an answer for why things continue to be easy mode, a sickening chill spreads over your body—almost as if THEY are laughing at you. Easy mode? THEY seem to scoff, before the feeling fades away and you stand up, feeling dread pool in your stomach. 

✦ . You’re just some guy. You took this job and didn’t run away to the neighbouring kingdom, purely for the reason that your soul is about as clean as pond water—much like all the other people who frequent the temple—and Sunday views these ordinary people, these sinners, with a benevolent sort of sympathy. Nobles and commoners alike are lumped in together as the ‘lambs’ who require salvation—including you, of course. The pure-hearted main character is a general exception to this rule—somebody who in his eyes, absolutely embodies light. She’s far purer than he is, which ironically serves as the sun to his wax-adhered wings—catalysing his imminent destruction and advent as someone who’d do anything for her. The Sunday you’d read about with mild fascination will inevitably grow distant to the plight of people—which is perfect for you, either way, as you will be reduced to white noise, befitting of a mere guard. 

✦ . Well, it’s not like he needs a guard, regardless. If you had to pick one positive of that novel, it would be evenly distributing the power levels of each male lead—meaning that Sunday was comparable to the other three in his own right (or he might even be slightly stronger, considering your hijacking of key level-up materials of the other three). And in true novel fashion, he’d likely just dismiss you as soon as you announced yourself. 

✦ . Which he does. He’s not necessarily a tall man, but the way he dresses pristinely and talks in that clipped manner makes him exude a certain type of presence that makes you wary of numerous facets of his character: the almost-too-angelic image he presents himself with, the dark expression he wears when nobody can see him, and finally, the uncanny way he spots lies within someone’s words. Of course, you’re not necessarily important enough to exchange words with, therefore it’s not like he can glean lies from your brief greetings when you come to fulfill your duties each day and are promptly dismissed from your post. 

✦ . You’d be pretty annoyed about this blatant waste of time if it weren’t for the fact that it gives you access to the theological works located in the library—ample time to research the exact cliché that led you here. Though you’d wished for such a reincarnation to take you from Earth, it feels artificial almost, when you’re pre-cognisant of what will happen based on the tried and true arcs of each repetitive novel you’ve read. 

✦ . There’s no way of telling what point of the story you’re in. With how many things you’ve screwed over, it could be over for all you know—or there could be a parallel story culminating from all the butterfly effects you’ve unleashed. Ah, whatever. You’re strolling through the well-maintained courtyard with a divine treatise in one hand and the constant droning of Harpe in one ear, attempting to find a nice little shady nook to lurk and read in, when you see it—the protagonist, presumably meeting the papal figure of the Order for the first time. The slight flutter of the wings by his face that denote him as part of an angelic race confirms it, and you turn on your heel abruptly, leaving them to talk. 

✦ . Except, the protagonist is far too friendly for her own good—and hasn’t in fact forgotten about a commoner-turned-viscount who met her properly like once. She waves at you cheerfully, calling out your name, and you turn around slowly—like you’re in some horror movie, which you probably are. 

✦ . “I didn’t know you got transferred here!” Each time you see her, you’re reminded of the interns at your company—friendly, not yet crushed by the depressing reality of corporate life. It makes you feel bad for her, but then you’re reminded of who exactly stands next to her when you politely take her hand and bow your head over it in a perfunctory greeting. 

✦ . “Yes, as per His Majesty’s orders.” You’re laconic in your usual state, which seems to cut you some slack with Sunday, who observes each miniscule shift of your emotions like some damn psychologist—the general apathy you feel to the both of them, the yearning to go somewhere else (anywhere but here). You can feel the intrusion, and it’s a double-edged sword. If you succeed with this, you can successfully convince him you’re not a threat. 

✦ . “What are you reading?” She spotted the book you’re half-heartedly keeping tucked by your side, and you can feel the intensity of Sunday’s stare increase. Shit. 

✦ . “Some of the interpretations made by the Prophets.” You mutter truthfully, feeling as though you’re being interrogated. You hesitantly show the worn cover—wanting to be anywhere but here, under the Pope’s intense scrutiny of his guard.

✦ . “Oh, really? That’s—”  “The manuscripts in the library aren’t meant to be taken out of the building.” Sunday’s cool voice interrupts her, and you practically wither. 

✦ . “My apologies, sir. I was unaware of that.” It’s best to smooth things over instantly: pathetically bowing your head to the Pope. “It’s Your Holiness, viscount. And it’s unseemly for a guard of mine to be unaware of two such crucial pieces of knowledge.” As expected, he’s meticulous about everything pertaining to his image—so unbelievably fastidious that it might’ve irritated you had you not had so many years of working under irritating superiors. 

✦ . “Yes, Your Holiness. Then, I’ll excuse myself to return the treatise.” There’s not a trace of annoyance in you—rather, a profound relief at him providing the convenient excuse for you to exit. It was probably on purpose that he did so, hoping you’d take the hint and leave, but it works very well for you. 

✦ . “Wait— is that the ancient language of ◼◼◼◼◼?” There’s a brief pause, before you stare at the book again, prompted by her curious words. It’s not in the fictional language of this place, but the ancient tongue had always been denoted in the novel as square brackets around the original English of the text for convenience, which indirectly manifested it as English when you reincarnated here. 

✦ . “I suppose,” you mutter. It’s rare to find clergy who can both read and speak it well, and even rarer for a regular layperson to do so. It’s far too time-consuming to learn with the current alphabet of this place, and the pronunciation isn’t intuitive at all based on how the words are constructed, considering the language here. It makes you wonder at the sloppy linguistic developments of this world, further supporting the hypothesis that you’re still in a fictional world. 

✦ . [You’re fluent and not just loitering about to waste time?] Sunday speaks, maintaining his even tone and crisp cadence—though they’re tinged with some Argonian ways of speaking. The protagonist’s head swivels between the two of you, and you sigh internally at the prolonged disruption.

✦ . [Yes, Your Holiness. If I wanted to waste time, I’d beat up your knights templar. But as it stands, it’s not like you’re letting me perform my job regardless, therefore I am in a state of loitering perpetually.] You bow your head once more, feeling a strange sense of vindication. [Now, if you’ll excuse me.] Then, you leave—particularly refreshed after the little spat. 

✦ . That is your first mistake. 

✦ . The second comes from having befriended the Saint, Robin. Though formally, she’s meant to be in isolation—guarded in her tower save for days where she descends to the realm of mortals—you’ve felt sorry for the faceless girl and her quiet complaints, so you’ve taken to spiriting away sweet foods from the outside and leaving them on her windowsill—using the special footwork arts you’ve trained in for such paltry purposes. As it turns out, Templar knights are more than willing to leave guard duty to a war hero, which means you become more or less a constant in her terribly lonely life. You feel horrible. Her voice has been blessed by the gods, and thus she’s been reduced to a songbird—shackled to a birdcage by the corrupted elders of the church. 

✦ . Yet, she can’t even escape, for the hold they have over her brother makes her unable to leave. 

✦ . You only realise what a horrible mistake it is when the two of you end up bonding over literature—on one side of the table, a veiled Saint eats some of the strawberry cheesecake that you baked after sneaking into the Temple kitchens at night, while on the other, you sit with a cup of hard coffee to knock some energy back into you. Well—it’s not exactly then that you realise you fucked up. After all, you’re enjoying a pleasant conversation on the most mundane of things: the birds that fly past her window and occasionally stop by to bring her flowers, the weird sort of stiffness that the priests move with outside, and the unique taste of the cakes the pâtissier in the village makes. 

✦ . You don’t bring up your past, nor her situation. It’s the only respite she gets from her solitude, and it’s the only respite you get from your own—two misfits within a strict hierarchy. 

✦ . Yet…

✦ . “Explain exactly what you are doing here.” Cold fury vibrates through Sunday’s voice as he stands in the stone doorway leading into the Saint room. You freeze under his yellow-eyed, boreal glare; every second stretches into an infinity, and the cake on your fork wobbles in tandem with your hand. 

✦ . Shit, isn’t this breaking some kind of taboo? The veiled Saint pauses, then places down her fork too—yet, she’s not shaking in her boots like you are. 

✦ . “Don’t yell at him.” You’re staring at her incredulously, and your fork clatters against your plate as you drop it. Sunday’s gaze swivels to her, and his brows furrow. 

✦ . “And you—what have I told you about being careful?” It’s not exasperation in his voice, but something else that you can’t quite put your finger on. Concern? Nah—can’t be. 

✦ . “She’s not at fault,” you argue. But upon reflection… “Neither am I, actually. I’m fulfilling guard duty whilst being her friend.”

✦ . Friend. You can tell her eyes are fixed upon you from beneath her veil—though you can’t tell they’re brimming with some emotion. Sunday only scoffs at your words—his unmoved mask wavers in the face of the Saint, it seems. “Guard duty? You’re flagrantly disobeying protocol, again, while being a bad influence on the Saint. What are you doing here in the first place?” 

✦ . “Stop it, Brother!” Her words send a shocked shiver down your spine—and she’s pulling off her veil, showing you a face and wings that are practically a carbon copy of her brother’s. All angry and red and yelling, and you’re left staring at two siblings squabbling over you. “He’s one of the only things that have been keeping me sane in this misery. I’m old enough to distinguish who I can trust and befriend—” 

✦ . “Robin…” he murmurs, wings agitated and flattened against his face. His lips part and close once more, before his eyes swivel to yours in a renewed glare. “And you—”

✦ . [Follow me.] His icy tone clearly translates into the tongue he switches to, and you’re essentially marched out by the ear. You haplessly look back at Robin, but all she mouths is ‘I’ll see you later’. It’s barely an assurance that you’ll survive the encounter, but at this point, you’ll take any assurance you can get. 

✦ . You get your answer when he practically slams you down into a chair in his office, wiping his dove-grey gloves off as if you’re dirt reincarnate, and you scowl. 

✦ . “Answer me honestly,” he demands, and you nod with a swallow. You can feel the familiar intrusion rooting around in your mind, drinking in every change in emotion. “Are you seeking to harm Robin?”

✦ . “No, I’m not.” You hold his gaze. There are two sides to his personality—the apathy he feels towards everyone, and the care that he bequeaths onto those close to him. It’s been like that in the novel throughout the duration of his arc—this new, irritated side to him is one you’ve never seen.

✦ . “I would’ve thought a war hero would have a spine, but you’re far more pathetic than I thought.” It’s a cutting remark, but honestly, you’re marvelling at the change. 

✦ . “All due respect, Your Holiness, but you’re my employer and this is a feudal system,” you reply neutrally, gazing at the floor as if it’s captivating you. The glare focused on you intensifies. 

✦ . “I changed my mind. Report to me each morning—I’ll put you to work.”

✦ . He lives up to his words. Rather than guarding him, you’re entrusted with translating manuscripts into this world’s tongue—a task that had previously been split between him and two other cardinals, yet has now been unceremoniously delegated to you. You’re paid, naturally, yet not for the damn job that you were meant to do. 

✦ . “Pour me some tea.” It’s another flippant side to him that you only ever witness when you’re alone with him. If anyone walked in, all they’d see after politely knocking would be a paragon of hard work—Sunday—and his aide. That’s what you’ve been reduced to from a mad dog of the battlefield. 

✦ . “What am I, a maid?” you mutter under your breath, and his yellow eyes hone in on you in the precise glare that makes your spine prickle. 

✦ . He only softens when he sees his sister—inviting himself to the designated ‘tea times’ the Saint has set for you, and merely staring at you whenever you speak, never deigning to reply to you but only Robin when she speaks to him directly. 

✦ . “I think you’re the closest to a friend that he’s ever had,” she tells you one time, when he’s busy with the inevitable duties that come with being the pope. You don’t say anything, laughing off her words internally. You? A friend? To Sunday? The maniac obsessed with divinity, the Order, and the protagonist? It’s ridiculous. He challenges you to a duel that very night—and you think it’s over. He’s never shown his hand like this in the novel; those who witness him fight might as well be dead.

✦ . His divine power manifests itself as thorns—looping and weaving in dangerous ways you barely manage to block with Harpe and Idrila’s defense, crashing into the secluded ground of the Templar knights’ training hall. 

✦ . “What’s wrong?” he taunts. “Didn’t you say you could beat templar knights? And here you are, struggling before a mere member of the clergy?”

✦ . You don’t fall for his provocations. No, actually, you do. A magic circle activates. Another halo appears around his head.

✦ . It’s a narrow victory, you think, but he’d claim it as his—two bodies lie heaving in the sand, surrounded by the rubble of a training hall. 

✦ . “You know magic. Fix it,” he pants, looking down at his sweaty body in mild disgust. To be in such a state—you read his thoughts amongst the affronted flutter of his wings.

✦ . “Isn’t divine power better for repairing things?” you comment sardonically. “I think I’m all spent.”

✦ . “Should I report you to the king for lapsing in your duty?” he glares, sitting up. 

✦ . “You could,” you settle your hands beneath your neck contentedly. “If anything, I’d simply be fired and sent back to the battlefield. I’ve got armies to command, don’t I?”

✦ . There’s a crack, before a pillar (that had been precariously canted at an angle) comes crashing down against the billowing grime of the hall. You startle, and whip your head to gaze at Sunday, who merely looks at you placidly. 

✦ . “Is that so?” he murmurs. There’s something buried deep in his eyes—something implacable, as though he was the one that caused the pillar to snap in a fit of anger. Anger over your impudent words, most likely, and nothing else—right? Right?

Techniques and Tips for Learning about an Unrecorded God/Pantheon

Unlike recorded pantheons, you can't just pull up old myths, records, whatever to learn about them. There are no records, after all. So this post will go over my personal methods for learning about unrecorded gods.

I fully invite people to add more onto this post who also work with unrecorded gods/pantheons. This is what I do, but there's all sorts of ways someone can learn!

This post can also double as advice for learning about other entities, but the focus here is on unrecorded entities.

JUST ASK.

As simple as it sounds: Just ask. All cases I've experienced, unrecorded spirits are usually happy to share the basic information about them to help you connect with them. This doesn't mean ALL will, however, or that you have free access to everything, though. Spirits are also owed privacy, but asking doesn't really hurt anything as long as you're not pushy.

Let's say you want to learn their signs and symbols. You might ask "Show me three of the same sign and/or symbol within the next week to indicate that it's one of your signs/symbols." and then keep a log of all signs and symbols you see. (You can of course make the number higher I just chose three arbitrarily.)

As well, you can just take a pendulum or some other yes/no divination method and just ask "Is [xyz] one of your signs/symbols?" and write down accordingly.

If you're skilled at hearing spirit voices, you can ask more broad questions to receive answers. You can also use a pendulum board or something similar to have them spell it out for you.

MEDITATION.

Meditation can lead way for the Divine to commune with oneself.

I suggest, due to personal experiences, to pick an entity to attune with in your meditation, but you could also just be open to all passing spirits, just know the risks of opening yourself to everyone and everything.

Be open to the things that come to your mind, acknowledge them, write them down (or write them all down at the end), and continue meditating.

Be expectant of things being brought up, of seeing signs and symbols, feeling their energy to some degree, or even being dragged into a full blown conversation, depending on the spirit in question.

DIVINATION.

Most forms of divination may not be able to provide broad answers but it is good for learning about them as people.

Ask them how their days are to learn how they speak, what their energy is like, how they work and process the world around them.

Using the art on cards, you could ask "Give me a card that depicts one of your signs/associations." and narrow down what on the card is the sign.

Using the meanings of the cards, you could ask "Give me a card that is about something you help with."

WATCH YOUR DREAMS.

If you're particularly prone to receiving messages and signs in your dreams, it might do good to start keeping a dream journal and to make note of repeated signs and symbols. It's then that you ask through another method if this is one of their signs, or something like that.

As well, you can perform a previously stated method of asking to show three of one symbol in one week to state it as one of theirs, but instead request this within your dreams.

ASK IF YOU CAN MAKE YOUR OWN ASSOCIATIONS.

It's up to debate if unrecorded gods are purely Unverified Personal Gnosis or void of it in absence of a Verified Gnosis. I'm not going to get into that debate, but the point here is to essentially give them what would be UPG in other cases.

When you feel the energy of this entity, do you particularly think of the Red Cardinal bird? Ask if you can associate them with the Red Cardinal, even if it's not one of their "official" signs and associations.

Do you find that they help a lot with your emotional turmoil? Ask them if that's a part of what they help all with or help consistently with, or if it's just a task they've undertaken out of support for you, perhaps as a one off.

ASK OTHERS WHAT THEY THINK.

Do you happen to have pagan / witchy friends? It can be helpful to ask an outside view what they think, see, hear, or whatever about a spirit.

The goal here isn't for them to just go and say "Yeah, I just assume xyz", but rather to ask them if they're comfortable trying to figure something out with you.

Have a friend who has very accurate gut feelings? Ask them what their gut says about this entity, for example. Or do you have a friend who excels at energy readings? Ask them if they're willing to tell you what this entities energy feels like to them.

As always, be mindful of your friends boundaries and respect if they say no, and remember: It's your job to learn about your entities, not others. As well, the goal isn't to make them worship/work with the same entities as you.

TRIAL AND ERROR.

Sometimes, all you can do is just try something and see what happens. Make offerings without knowing if they'll like it yet. Invite them to activities not knowing if they enjoy it. Afterwards, ask through divination or by asking for a sign to know if they enjoyed what you gave/did.

SPEND TIME WITH THEM.

Try and spend time with the spirit and learn about them like how you would a friend. Be open to them delivering information in whatever ways they can to you, such as through thoughts entering your mind.

You may not learn very much necessarily during these times, but it still doubles as important bonding time.

CREATE ART IN TRANCE.

Not necessarily drawn art, written art works too. The goal here is to, in the trance state, end up depicting things that represent the entity or show the entity. You could also do things like make collages of PNGs, make a Minecraft build, build a Pinterest board, whatever works.

A method I particularly enjoy is writing mythos / lore about them in trance. Asking them to tell you and guide you through a story about them, be it more like a Greek hymn and thus not meant to be taken literally, or a more literal "Yes, I did this/went through this".

Another suggested method is drawing an altar space for them, what you'd put on the altar if you could.

Note with this I always ask if what I created in trance is true. Being in trance doesn't erase our original selves, so there's a possibility of accidentally tuning into yourself instead of your entity.

USE AUTOMATIC WRITING.

Automatic writing, for those who don't know, is writing, often in a trance(-like) state, without really thinking before writing. The idea is that without thinking, you'll write either your truest thoughts on the matter, or attune into the energy of spirits and write the words they speak. How it works differs from person to person, though.

Speak to your entity in this method, asking as many questions as you like.

Be aware that it's very difficult, if not impossible, for you to write that which you do not know - If you don't know a certain animal exists, they cannot tell you through this method that that is a sacred animal to them. They are stuck within the binds of your mind. You're going to want other methods for things outside of your scope.

ASTRAL TRAVEL TO THEIR DOMAIN.

If you are capable of astral travel, you might find it beneficial to travel to their domain, should they have one. Some spirits do not, especially non-Godly beings in my experience, though they might still have a small home. A spirit of your local river may not have a domain, but the God of the Sun you've contacted might.

Domains often have, but not always, signs and symbols of the entity in question. After all, if you love roses so much they're one of your most holy items... you'd probably want to decorate your home with plenty of roses.

This one in particular can be hit or miss though, because (A. they don't always have a domain, (B. you might not be welcome in their domain, and/or (C. it might not really represent them very heavily, and thus little information can be gleamed.

BE OPEN MINDED.

Spirits communicate in all sorts of ways! Different spirits prefer different avenues for different people, and what one spirit does for you might not be what they do for someone else.

Spirits, in my experience, typically reach out in the ways we can understand and hear them. Have absolutely zero spirit hearing ability? They might reach out through physical signs and through your tarot.

JUST STEP INTO THE METAPHORICAL WATER.

Just take some steps into the beginning of your path. You can do this entirely noncommittally, like standing on the edge of the lake or holding onto an emergency pull back rope.

Sometimes what it takes IS stepping on in, IS just embracing what is new for you. You might learn more than you think you will doing so.

I'd suggest only doing this if you feel safe to do so and/or have confirmed through some method that you're safe. Ask a recorded God, a guardian spirit, or some other known and trusted entity if you are.

i’ve been feeling myself get quieter and quieter in my worship recently. i’ve never stopped my nightly prayers— unless i’m too exhausted to keep my eyes open after an uneventful day at uni and an overstimulating bus ride home.

i’ve drawn back from using my pendulum and tarot as much as i did when i first started my practice. i haven’t had many experiences with my deities to share with anyone.

on one hand, it feels a bit worrying. maybe i’m not being a good worshipper if i’m not actively trying to reach out and ask questions. on the other hand, i understand that the amount of anxiety i’ve been feeling regarding my education and general life has broken me down once again.

it also feels normal to me to be this casual in my worship, quite different from how i see other people talk about theirs. i’ve always been this way with my christianity as well. i’ve always just done a nightly prayer, for instance, never anything more than that. it feels familiar and comforting to me to be this simple. to embrace my worship in a way that isn’t transactional, if that makes sense. i’m not really sure how to put it into the exact words, but having my worship be the way that it is now feels okay. i allow myself to feel the blessings and presence of my deities. i appreciate their help and guidance. i adore them for being around despite it all.

i enjoy worshipping my deities. i enjoy looking for them in the moments i step out of my house. i enjoy offering my tea and the steam wafting from it as it sits on my bedside table before i take a sip. i enjoy doing my rehearsed prayers every night, for that routine brings me the most comfort.

i’m not really sure whether what i’ve typed out makes sense. i just thought i’d try to share the experience (and get that persistent and pesky weight of guilt that i haven’t been enough off my shoulders) of a person who’s much more laidback in their practice whilst still being appreciative and responsible, especially when necessary.

Contacting an Incubator

It feels like most of the magical heroes, or aspiring magical heroes, in my orbit are working within the paradigm of Puella Magi Madoka Magica and I’ve seen many requests across platforms for tips regarding contacting Kyubey or another Incubator.

For the uninitiated, an Incubator is a ‘messenger of magic’; they grant a wish in exchange for service as a magical hero. In Puella Magi Madoka Magic and related works, those who form a contract with an Incubator must defeat witches—corrupted entities that feed upon the hopes and dreams of the masses.

Note: While this agreement may seem fair to some and the Incubator may seem enthusiastic to help by any means necessary, Incubators are known for their calculating ways and almost trickster-like mentality. Incubators cannot exhibit emotions of any kind and as a result Incubators often seem cold and uncaring. However, Incubators seek to achieve only one main goal; to preserve the universe from total entropy. To ensure this, they employ all logical and efficient means to create magical heroes.

You may want to try contact an Incubator if you want to initiate your magical hero journey or if you want clarity or direction regarding this kind of work. I’ve seen evidence of folks using a variety of methods in order to contact an Incubator, namely through evocation, divination, and invocation/channeling techniques. If you are a solo practitioner looking for this communication, I would definitely recommend the routes of evocation and divination. Here is how I would go about contacting an Incubator:

Prepare a dimly lit space with a mirror, and/or perhaps a candle, where you can work with minimal distractions. Banish as you would normally and prepare to meditate.

Position yourself comfortably in front of the mirror or candle. If you have both, try to place the candle beneath the reflection of your face or off to the side—just try to not obstruct the view of your reflection.

Relax your body and begin meditating with your eyes closed. Try to not focus on anything in particular and steady your breathing into regular intervals.

When you are satisfied with your breathing, open your eyes and stare into your reflection with a soft gaze (as in, you do not have to fight to keep your eyes wide open). Try to keep your eyes open for as long as possible before blinking and repeating, all the while keeping your breathing regular.

After a bit, you may notice your reflection changing or distorting, or you may start seeing things on the periphery of your vision. This is when, I believe, an Incubator may approach you—either by appearing behind or beside you visibly in the mirror or by altering your reflection entirely. This is when you can initiate telepathic conversation. Try to keep your breathing regular throughout this experience.

At this point, you can continue communicating telepathically or introduce a divinatory tool. If you want to use a form of divination, I recommend something simple like using a pendulum or automatic writing—something that is not too complex or requires a lot of effort as to not distract you from your breathing or could potentially break your connection.

When you are satisfied, or the Incubator leaves, close your eyes and ease out of state. Snuff any lit candles and banish to clear the space.

This post is part of my Magi Praxis series. If you have any suggestions for future topics, or you have attempted anything I have shared and want you share your experiences, please send me a message! I am always happy to go back and provide further explanation as well. ☆

"When 'Change' Brings No Relief: The Lessons of Machiavelli and Recent Political History"

Machiavelli in his book, The Prince, on Chapter 𝐼𝐼𝐼 "Of mixed principalities" (De principatibus mixtis) said: "People change gladly their hegemon, believing that they are improving their living conditions. This belief prompts them to take up arms against the ruler of the moment. But they are deceived, because afterwards they realize from personal experience that they worsened their position." 𝐴 ℎ𝑒𝑔𝑒𝑚𝑜𝑛 𝑖𝑠 𝑎 𝑠𝑢𝑝𝑟𝑒𝑚𝑒 𝑙𝑒𝑎𝑑𝑒𝑟

Now, does that statement remind you of any particular, a recent political event?

What Machiavelli is describing here is really a tale as old as time. From the dictators of Ancient Greece to some more recent revolutions, humans have always had the tendency of supporting a leader, (by 'overthrowing' their old ruler), a leader who promises them better living conditions, only to be disappointed with either no change or change for the worse.

Let's take a certain Austrian painter for example. He found a Germany who was suffering with poverty, and extreme (and I mean extreme) inflation. Their currency had become worthless. So worthless in fact that at some point the cost of printing exceeded the value of the currency itself. And to no one's surprise Germany had a hard time trying to repay debts from WW1. The treaty of Versailles had created a perfect environment for a dictator to gain power.

People were suffering. So when a Mustache man came along and said he could fix everything and blamed all of Germany's problems to certain groups of people, after enough time people started to support him.

That, the fact that he managed to gain the people's support in 'overthrowing' the past leaders, as everyone knows lead to massive suffering, huge losses, millions of deaths and to another World War. 𝐼 𝑝𝑢𝑡 '𝑜𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑡ℎ𝑟𝑜𝑤𝑖𝑛𝑔' 𝑖𝑛 𝑞𝑢𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑠 𝑠𝑖𝑛𝑐𝑒 𝑖 𝑑𝑜𝑛'𝑡 𝑛𝑒𝑠𝑠𝑒𝑐𝑎𝑟𝑎𝑙𝑦 𝑚𝑒𝑎𝑛 𝑎 𝑣𝑖𝑜𝑙𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑜𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑡𝑎𝑘𝑖𝑛𝑔, 𝐼 𝑢𝑠𝑒 𝑖𝑡 𝑖𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑠𝑒𝑛𝑠𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑡𝑎𝑘𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑡𝑟𝑜𝑙 𝑖𝑓 𝑎 𝑐𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑡𝑟𝑦, 𝑖𝑛 𝑤ℎ𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑟 𝑤𝑎𝑦.

This tragic turn of events underscores a central Machiavellian truth: while people often believe they are improving their situation by swapping one ruler for another, they may find themselves worse off in the end.

Machiavelli’s insight into the complexities of political transitions remains as relevant today as it was in the 16th century. Human nature, it seems, has not changed; people still fall prey to the promises of quick solutions and change, (remind you of someone?) often failing to recognize that such upheaval can, more often than not, create conditions where the proverbial pendulum swings in the opposite direction, straight into the arms of another form of tyrannybor dictatorship. Thus, when analyzing political events through a Machiavellian lens, we should ask ourselves: Are we truly improving our position, or are we merely trading one set of problems for another? The answers are rarely as simple as they first appear.

A more modern example that comes to mind is the rise of a certain Donald Trump in the United States. His campaign in 2016 (and 2024) was built on promises of restoring American greatness, and addressing the grievances of those who felt ignored or disenfranchised by the political elite.

Many people believed that he would be the leader to fix their problems, revive manufacturing, cut taxes, and return a sense of national pride. Like the people of Germany in the 1930s, they were tired of the status quo and saw in Trump a strong, decisive leader who could turn things around.

His supporters felt a deep dissatisfaction with the previous political establishment and were willing to take a chance on someone who seemed to offer a bold departure from the norm. As Machiavelli pointed out, they believed that replacing their hegemon would improve their position.

However, as time went on, it became apparent that many of the promised changes either didn’t materialize as expected, or they brought new, unforeseen challenges. The tax cuts, while benefiting the wealthy, did little to address the deepening economic divides. The promised revitalization of industries often seemed more symbolic than substantive, and the broader political instability caused by Trump’s leadership left the nation divided, with political polarization reaching unprecedented levels.

Furthermore, while Trump’s supporters felt empowered by his populist rhetoric, those who opposed him found his policies regressive and, at times, harmful. In many ways, this split reflects Machiavelli’s warning that, after the dust settles, people may realize they were deceived into believing that their situation would improve, when, in fact, it was only exacerbated by the very change they sought.

This was just what came to mind while I was reading The Prince. But that's just my opinion, I'd love to hear what other people think of this. 𝐼 𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑒𝑑 𝑘𝑒𝑒𝑝𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑎 𝑛𝑒𝑢𝑡𝑟𝑎𝑙 𝑡𝑜𝑛𝑒 𝑤ℎ𝑖𝑙𝑒 𝑤𝑟𝑖𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑠 𝑏𝑢𝑡, 𝑙𝑒𝑡'𝑠 𝑏𝑒 𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑙, 𝐹𝑈𝐶𝐾 𝑇𝑅𝑈𝑀𝑃.

[yggdrasilhypno]

One of my favorite all time induction methods is a pretty classic one: cocknosis. It’s simple, effective, and gives off this pure feeling of submission almost instantly. I mean, if you’re conditioned to fall head over heels into trance at only the sight of my cock, it would make it truly effortless to sink nearly completely down into nothingness. It all comes from the power and pleasure a cock can provide.

But, it’s not about the cock itself really. It’s about what it entails for you. It’s just another hypnotic object after all, swinging back and forth like a pretty pendulum, rocking you slowly into hypnotic sleep. It’s that sinking feeling, that instant submission, knowing that soon enough it’s going to be your entire world. Knees buckled, mouth salivating, completely controlled at only the sight. But that’s only the beginning.

I love to incorporate all the senses into a good trance, using everything to my advantage. Each one another stepping stone, another building block to create the best possible experience. Cocknosis uses all of these perfectly.

Let’s start with smell, my personal favorite. Imagine that perfect scent in the air, a musk unlike any other. Rich with the essence of the days of work under my belt starting to cycle through your nose. It’s almost intoxicating by itself, driving you into a primal urge and need. Losing thoughts with each breath, with each dose of my scent.

And as those thoughts pile out, you can hear your heartbeat slow down. Almost as if it’s being rewritten by the motion of my body, it slows and slows you down, each beat becoming even more important. Keeping you nice and stable in your state, hearing firsthand how my control has set in. Each beat is just another reminder of how deep you’ve gone, and how much deeper you can go.

It’s the sight of the cock that keeps you anchored, though. Watching its motion back and forth, keeping your attention as everything else becomes a blur. It’s what enraptured you at first, the sight of my cock drawing your eyes in as it took you down deep into the suggestible state you crave. The gentle ticks and tocks of my cock rocking back and forth like a clock, enveloping your mind and body into this beautiful sensation of warmth and pleasure.

But touch is even more important however. Just the smallest touch can send shockwaves of ecstasy throughout the body. Your hand becoming the vessel for your worship, your ticket to heaven. Each part of your body that touches my cock becomes corrupted, forever linked to pleasure as you crave more and more. That corruption fueling you further to touch and explore more, giving yourself up into depravity all for that rush of bliss.

Let’s not forget taste however. Just imagining the taste on your tongue, a beautiful mix of ecstasy and sweetness. Like an aphrodisiac, one taste is enough to get you hooked. Each hit of flavor keeps you coming back for more, sending you further down into complete mindless abandon. Leaving sanity at the door, the taste corrupting you further and further into nothingness until you’re on the floor, brainless and unable to process a thought without the slightest idea of my cock.

So finally, let’s combine these, shall we? The sight of my cock, swinging just for you in that hypnotic motion that you can’t help but stare and gawk at. It’s rocking you into a deep trance, and the sound of your heartbeat slowing down only encourages you further on. Getting dizzy off the scent, it seems like you can’t wait another moment before you need it. And so, your hand slowly begins to explore my cock, getting hooked on the shocking pleasure it seems to send throughout your body with only the smallest touch. More touching, more depravity as the scent begins to overwhelm you into complete insanity over my cock. Finally, you decide to take a taste, which proves to be the final nail in the coffin. The aphrodisiac like taste hits your tongue, and you’re sent into an ecstatic frenzy of excitement, nothing holding you back from complete and utter pleasure. All five senses being molded by me, used to send you into a fit of mindlessness where all you seek is bliss. This pleasure overwhelms you, and you can’t help but cum your pretty little brains out. As your body gives way to relaxation and that energy turns into a beautiful afterglow, your mind begins to cycle through once more, becoming nothing but a puppet for my entertainment~

If you’ve sunk nice and deep, feel free to ride this feeling for as long as you want. Until next time~

[cultkinkcoven]

So i want to start my practice but unfortunately i don't have the tool incense tarot card pendulum and especially i still lived with my parent. The deity i want to work with is a demon from ars goetia andromalius, i already did the ritual but i Haven't got any respond what should i do?

I received this ask in June so you’ve probably already figured this out but keep on tryin!

If you don’t have access to tools like a pendulum or tarot cards you do still have the option to do some good old meditation on your demon’s sigil. In fact you’ll probably be doing this way more than using cards or other tools. All you need is a pen and a piece of paper. On the front you should write your demon’s sigil. Bonus points if you can find a coloured piece of paper or pen that you associate with them. For Leviathan I would probably use blue, whereas I’d probably use red for Asmoday and green for Belial.

On the back of the paper write a short petition or prayer. Be sure to address yourself by name (doesn’t have to be your legal name, just the name that you identify most with). Detail what exactly it is that you want from them and be precise about how you want them to manifest. If you hope to see them in your dreams write that down. If you just want some mundane sign that they’re listening write that down too.

For example: “To the Great Lord Lucifer, keeper of the hidden gnosis and liberator of all, I Shi, your loyal devotee, invoke your presence and healing light. I request that you appear to me in my dreams, in perfect human form. I wish to see your face and feel your warmth upon me. I wait patiently here, in this, your temple (referring to the altar) for your messages to touch my heart. So it shall be, as it has been, and shall be again.”

For first introductions it’s always a good idea to bring offerings. Something as simple as clean water is fine if you don’t have access to incense. A piece of fruit, a yummy pastry, or a piece of candy works too. Some demons are more particular than others, but they almost all unanimously appreciate alcohol. If you don’t have access to wine or rum, white vinegar also works.

Now, you can anoint the sigil with blood. I usually only do this for my patron who I trust and feel safe offering dna to. Some rituals will insist that you anoint all your sigils with blood but it’s not mandatory in my experience. A simple kiss can work, as can just charging the sigil in your hands. Focus all of your intention into the sigil until it almost seems to vibrate with energy. Then, when you feel ready, you can begin chanting their enn if they have one. If not, you can come up with your own mantra. For example, I wasn’t sure what invocation to use with Hermes, so I always just repeat “Holy Hermes, Holy Hermes, guide my spell.”

As you chant, focus your entire attention towards every syllable coming out of your mouth, feel your vocal cords vibrate as your intention becomes sound. I like to say Lucifer’s enn deep in my chest.

As you do, continue to stare at the sigil. There is a good chance you’ll experience some kind of imagery or physical sensation. If you see a terrifying face or a graphic image, do not freak out, this is very normal. Not all demons are pretty lol. You may altogether have an idea or voice enter into your mind out of seemingly nowhere, that is likely your demon responding. You can respond to them aloud or in your head. Try to stay focused on the sigil as you do, don’t think too hard about your answers.

As an added step you can attempt to do automatic writing. This is when you allow a demon to take control of the muscles in your hand to create a drawing or sentence on a piece of paper. Whilst holding the pencil, completely relax and continue to focus on your demon’s sigil. Don’t resist the subtle movements that occur involuntarily. Sometimes this can result in amazing communication and sometimes it results in a bunch of gibberish. It’s worth a shot but don’t be dismayed if it doesn’t work the first few times.

If you don’t see or feel anything, that’s okay, these things don’t always manifest right away. Do not beg your demon to show up. They find it very annoying. Continue the ritual for a few days until you get a sign. Pay very close attention to the subtle details in your life.

You should probably recreate the sigil every time you reach out rather than using the same one from last session. You’re also perfectly okay to destroy the sigil either by burning or just throwing it in the garbage. Be sure to say goodbye and close down the connection before you destroy the sigil. If you do get a solid communication, remember to say thank you.

It's pretty simple to model society as swinging back and forth, in a natural and easy oscillation, between libidinous phases and puritanical phases. Sometimes those crazy kids are driven by Eros, sometimes by Thanatos; sometimes the culture makes sensate experience seem more compelling than ideology-driven rules, and sometimes vice versa. Maybe it ties into Strauss and Howe's Generations stuff.

...this model isn't perfect by any means, but it's got some legs, and (importantly) it doesn't really need much in the way of Big Theory grounding. People get tired of the most visibly cringey excesses that they see around them, and construct the new hotness as a counterbalance; that can be all there is to it.

The trick right now, of course, is that millennial-style wokeismus represents a puritanical-phase culture. Despite all the notional sex-positivity. It has deep roots in memeplexes that depict sexual interest mainly as a Bad Thing that men inflict on women. Its valorized saint figures are all depicted as wholesome and pure, as are its favorite narratives. It's got a lot of notional support for sexual liberation because it has ideological commitments to the idea that it's supposed to support sexual liberation, but...the displays tend to have a pretty silly ritual cosplay vibe, like Mormons using the onomastics of ancient Canaan.

All of this is well-understood by much of my readership, of course, but - there are those who should hear.

It's also well-understood by the savviest socons, who aren't so much worried about anything that's happening now as they are about the groundwork that's being laid for the next pendulum swing.

SHIFTING + INFORMACIÓN QUE HE ENCONTRADO

Comprendo el motivo por el cual las personas no creen en el shifting.

Entiendo el escepticismo que algunas personas puedan tener hacia el shifting debido a la manera en que se ha divulgado y explicado al público en general, especialmente por la asociación que se ha establecido entre el shifting y los mundos ficticios, lo cual ha llevado a la confusión y a una creencia errónea de que el shifting es algo imaginario o fantasioso. Sin embargo, este no es el caso.

Lo único nuevo de shifting es su nombre. De hecho, es una práctica antigua que ha existido desde hace mucho tiempo en otras culturas.

Tiene una relación con el budismo e hinduismo.

Y en este post también quería hablar sobre como se puede conectar a conceptos de física/mecánica cuántica y metafísica.

ACLARACIONES

Obviamente, cada persona tiene sus creencias y también el derecho de creer en lo que ellos quieran, mientras les haga feliz. Este post lo estoy haciendo porque me deprime que un concepto tan interesante y que tiene el potencial de ser algo increíble sea reducido a un trend o se lo considere una mentira colectiva, porque no podría estar más alejado de lo que realmente es.

Voy a utilizar las definiciones de 'shifting' que más me gustan, pero cada persona tiene su opinión.

También comparto esto debido a mi fascinación con el tema, y porque lo encuentro interesante y motivador. Recuerden que no existe una verdad absoluta, y que esta es simplemente mi manera de entrelazar los temas. Pueden considerarlo solo una perspectiva y no más que eso.

SHIFTING

Al adentrarte en el 'shifting', lo primero que se aprende es que no somos nuestros cuerpos físicos, sino que somos consciencia. La consciencia humana es lo que te permite percibir el mundo.

El 'shifting' considera que existen muchas realidades, además de ésta, en las que también existís.

El 'shifting' es el acto de volverse consciente de tu existencia en otra realidad. Esto se logra a través de estados alterados de consciencia.

Ahora mismo estás experimentando esta realidad a través de tus sentidos. Cuando se trata de shifting, comienzas a percibir otra realidad. Me gusta la analogía de la televisión: todos los canales existen, pero solo puedes ver uno a la vez. De manera similar, todas las realidades existen, pero solo puedes percibir una realidad a la vez.

Tu percepción de la realidad se ve limitada por tus sentidos. Tu consciencia, sin embargo, es ilimitada y se puede expandir mediante técnicas como la meditación.

(En otras culturas, la creencia de que existen múltiples realidades o universos era común, lo que me parece interesante.)

THE GETAWAY EXPERIENCE + IZHAK BENTOV

Cuando se popularizó ‘shifting’, se habló mucho de unos documentos de la CIA, conocidos como 'The Gateway experience'/'Experiencia de escape'. Sin embargo, estos documentos no trataban de ‘shifting’, sino de viajes astrales.

Eran una guía para lograr experimentar estados fuera del cuerpo ('out of body experience') mediante la entrada a estados alterados de consciencia.

En los documentos de la CIA se habla específicamente de las frecuencias y la sincronización de las dos partes del cerebro, conocidas como Hemy-Sync.

Al entrar a estados alterados de consciencia, es posible 'escapar de los confines del tiempo y el espacio'.

Para elaborar estos documentos, se basaron en parte en los libros de Izhak Bentov, un inventor, ingeniero mecánico y científico, quien compartió sus descubrimientos sobre el universo durante sus viajes astrales.

Yo voy a hablar sobre el libro 'Brief tour of higher counsciousness' (un breve recorrido por la consciencia superior) debido a que es el que yo he leído, aunque en los documentos se menciona otra de sus obras, 'Stalking the Wild pendulum' (él que yo leí tiene conceptos más simples).

BRIEF TOUR OF HIGHER CONSCIOUSNESS

"Él empezó a estudiar el campo electromagnético del cuerpo, relacionándolo con los estados alterados de consciencia, tales como la meditación y los sueños.

Él quería investigar los cambios fisiológicos generados por la meditación.

Bentov, consideraba que la clave para el progreso de la evolución de la consciencia humana residía en el sistema nervioso, utilizando una energía creativa o 'kundalini'.*

(En el marco del hinduismo, la 'kundalini' se define como la energía vital.")

De acuerdo con lo mencionado en los libros de Bentov y en documentos de la CIA, nuestro universo fue creado por algo llamado la 'Fuente'. Él explica que el universo tiene forma de toroidai (puede imaginarse como una dona gigante). En su centro se encuentra un núcleo, donde se halla una consciencia o lo que él denomina el 'Creador'. También es representado como los agujeros blanco y negro. El creador es como una semilla que contiene toda la información del universo, pero en "forma potencial".

Textualmente:

"Un chorro de radiación emerge del agujero blanco y comienza a fluir alrededor del Creador, formando una piel o la superficie del toroide, que es el universo. La materia nace al salir del agujero blanco, al principio en forma de radiación luminosa. Al enfriarse, se forman partículas estables: protones, neutrones y electrones. A continuación, se forman los gases helio e hidrógeno. Éstos se condensan en estrellas con elementos más pesados en su núcleo. Las estrellas se agrupan en cúmulos o galaxias y, al morir, explotan y crean polvo cósmico, que vuelve a condensarse en nuevas estrellas y planetas. Todo en el universo, incluido nuestro cuerpo, está hecho de una sustancia cósmica. Contenemos átomos de las galaxias más lejanas y, por tanto, estamos conectados a todo el universo."

*(Esto me recuerda al entrelazamiento cuántico)

"A medida que el chorro de materia sigue fluyendo fuera del agujero blanco, se ralentiza y empieza a ser atraído hacia atrás por la gravedad de la "semilla" original, la fuente del centro. El chorro invierte su dirección y acaba siendo atraído de nuevo hacia la "semilla" a través del agujero negro. Este colapso gravitatorio hace que la materia se transforme en energía, a medida que pasa del agujero negro al blanco, y resurge del agujero blanco como un nuevo universo. Se trata de un ciclo continuo de nacimiento y muerte de la materia."

"Se podría decir que es un modesto universo de explosión continua, en comparación con el universo del Big Bang de explosión única, que se extiende uniformemente en todas direcciones"

"El universo es un holograma o patrón de interferencia en el que todas las partes están interconectadas y contienen información sobre las demás y, por tanto, sobre todo el universo. A medida que las galaxias se desplazan por la superficie del toroide, irradian ondas de información sobre sí mismas. Estas ondas se entrelazan en un patrón de interferencia y forman un holograma que llena el espacio hueco del interior del toroide y se extiende por el vacío circundante."

"Este holograma de información podría llamarse Mente Universal, porque contiene toda la información que existe sobre toda la estructura. Cada conciencia humana individual es parte de ese holograma; por lo tanto, al proyectar la propia conciencia en la Mente Universal en un estado elevado de conciencia, se puede obtener conocimiento sobre todo el universo."

"Somos seres vibrantes en un universo pulsante, en constante movimiento entre lo finito e infinito"

-itzhak Bentov

*ENTRELAZAMIENTO CUÁNTICO

Según internet: "El entrelazamiento cuántico dice que una particula está vinculada a la otra sin importar que tan alejadas esten"

(Recordemos que si hablamos de shifting se cree que existimos en muchas realidades y por esto yo lo estoy relacionando con este tema. )

textualmente:

"El entrelazamiento cuántico se define como un fenómeno cuántico en el que dos o más partículas se vuelven interdependientes, de modo que, incluso si están separadas por grandes distancias, el estado de una partícula afectará al estado de la otra. El entrelazamiento cuántico permite la transferencia instantánea de información entre partículas".

EXPERIMENTO DE LA DOBLE RANDILLA

textualmente de internet: "Las partículas pueden existir en múltiples estados o ubicaciones al mismo tiempo. Este fenómeno se conoce como superposición y se explica por el experimento de la doble rendija, donde una partícula puede atravesar ambas rendijas al mismo tiempo."

El experimento de la doble rendilla es un experimento de física cuántica desarrollado por Thomas Young en 1801. Los resultados del experimento nos muestran que la luz actúa de manera diferente dependiendo si está siendo observada o no.

Básicamente, este experimento demuestra la naturaleza ondulatoria de la luz y cómo la luz puede comportarse tanto como partícula como onda.

THE GETAWAY EXPERIENCE

Ahora volvamos a los documentos de la CIA:

Los documentos dicen que todo lo que existe es energía y vibración y la consciencia humana es lo que interactúa con esa energía.

También se menciona que el universo es un holograma, y que es una creación de nuestras mentes.

Nuestra consciencia crea la sensación de materia para que podamos experimentar el mundo.

Y al expandir tu consciencia logras procesar otro tipo de energía.

FÍSICA CUÁNTICA

Hay una frase de Max plack -segun internet padre de la fisica cuántica- que decía:

"Considero que la conciencia es fundamental. Considero que la materia es un derivado de la conciencia. No podemos ir más allá de la conciencia. Todo de lo que hablamos, todo lo que consideramos existente, postula la conciencia".

Max Plack, que estudiaba la materia y los átomos también dijo: "¡No existe la materia como tal! Toda la materia se origina y existe sólo en virtud de una fuerza que hace vibrar las partículas de un átomo y mantiene unido este minúsculo sistema solar del átomo. . . . Debemos suponer detrás de esta fuerza la existencia de una Mente consciente e inteligente. Esta Mente es la matriz de toda la materia".

(La idea de que nuestra consciencia crea la sensación de materia para que podamos experimentar el mundo me recuerda a la información de que los átomos no se tocan entre si y que a su vez, nosotros estamos hechos de átomos)

Textualmente:

"Los átomos no se tocan debido a la presencia de fuerzas electromagnéticas y repulsión entre los electrones que rodean sus núcleos. Más bien, existe una interacción electromagnética entre el electrón y el núcleo que los mantiene unidos, pero sin que se toquen directamente. Esto se debe a que los electrones y los núcleos tienen cargas eléctricas opuestas, que se repelen entre sí, manteniendo los átomos separados entre sí".

BUDISMO, HINDUISMO Y FISICA CUANTICA

El paralelismo que yo hice entre el budismo y la física cuántica es que todo el universo está conectado y se influencia mutuamente.

Textualmente:

"El budismo se centra en la naturaleza impermanente de la existencia y en la noción de que todo está interconectado y en constante cambio". "En la física cuántica, se observó que a nivel microscópico, las partículas subatómicas también muestran una naturaleza ondulatorio-particular y que están interconectadas en todo el universo."

"La relación entre el budismo e hindúismo y la física cuántica se basa en la similitud de sus conceptos metafísicos*. En ambos sistemas de creencias, la realidad se considera como una ilusión o una apariencia que carece de una naturaleza intrínseca, y cada uno se concentra en la naturaleza fundamental de la conciencia y la realidad. La física cuántica también utiliza conceptos como el entrelazamiento cuántico y la dualidad onda-partícula para describir los fenómenos subatómicos, lo que sugiere que la realidad también puede ser una ilusión."

*Metafísica es una rama que entre muchas otras cosas, estudia la realidad.

BUDISMO / HINDUISMO Y SHIFTING

En su momento, no recuerdo si fue 2021 o 2022, encontré una cuenta que hablaba bastante del budismo e hinduismo en relación a shifting. También hablaba de distintos tipos de meditaciones tales como la trascendental.

En aquel entonces, le pregunté si podía traducir su video al español y mientras diera créditos no había problemas.

Actualmente su cuenta no está más su cuenta pero como dio nombres de las cosas, si les interesa lo pueden buscar y leer más a fondo . (La cuenta era "Mischiefmuse". Todos los créditos a esta persona)

El shifting proviene del budismo e hinduismo.

Un principio tomado de las escrituras budistas establece que:

"Nada es constante, todo esta cambiando y todos tenemos una corriente de consciencia en constante cambio que se expande por todo el universo" -esto se relaciona a la teoría del multiverso.

Por otro lado, cuando se trata de las escrituras hindúes:

Los humanos están separados del ser supremo infinito (dios) por solo un "velo" llamado "maya"

*Maya sería “ilusión” o “irrealidad”. Pero tiene múltiples significados que varían según el contexto y la religión.

“Maya” también nos separó de una red interminable de realidades y otros mundos donde también existimos. Nuestra consciencia se expande a través de estos dominios y en otras realidades estamos viviendo vidas diferentes.

"Hay innumerables universos además de este y aunque son de tamaño ilimitado, se mueven como átomos a tu alrededor. Por lo tanto, eres llamado ilimitado" -Esto se interpreta del “Bhagavata Puransa” una escritura hindú.

"Elevación subconsciente" o "trascender realidades" es el acto de tomar consciencia de tu existencia en otra realidad.

Nuestra consciencia infinita es parte del universo giratorio y tenemos la capacidad de viajar a través del universo (no físicamente) debido a cuan lejos se puede expandir nuestra consciencia.

En las palabras de la cuenta original:

"A las personas les cuesta comprender el concepto de shifting porque nuestros sentidos tienen una capacidad limitada para percibir y discernir la “verdad”, si nos negamos a mirar más allá de este mundo. Esta realidad no es la única que existe, eso es lo que la gente no puede ver.”

METAFISICA + MANIFESTACIÓN

La palabra metafísica proviene del griego tà metà tà physikà, que significa "más allá de la naturaleza".

La manifestación se puede relacionar con shifting también. Algunos conceptos metafísicos de la manifestación incluyen la idea de que nuestros pensamientos y creencias pueden afectar la realidad material, y que el universo siempre responde a nuestros pensamientos, emociones y creencias.

PREVIAMENTE: en este post dijimos que todo lo que existe es energía y vibración, así que vamos a seguir por ese lado.

Tus creencias, generan un pensamiento y una emoción, eso genera una frecuencia y dependiendo tu frecuencia es la realidad que percibís.

"A nivel metafísico, la manifestación se basa en la idea de que nuestra mente y nuestros pensamientos crean nuestra realidad. Según esta creencia, lo que pensamos, sentimos y creemos influye en la vibración de nuestra energía, la cual atrae o repele determinadas situaciones y experiencias en nuestra vida. Por ejemplo, si pensamos positivamente y nos enfocamos en lo que queremos, se cree que estamos vibrando en una frecuencia más alta y podemos atraer lo que nos enfocamos, como la abundancia y la felicidad".

La manifestación funciona de adentro hacia afuera, cambiando nuestros pensamientos para cambiar nuestra realidad. En este proceso, la realidad funciona como un espejo.

Una vez vi un video que decía "materializamos lo que percibimos, percibimos lo que creemos".

Bien dicho esto, somos seres multidimensionales y existimos en múltiples planos o dimensiones. Estas dimensiones incluyen la tercera dimension (3D), cuarta dimension (4D) y quinta dimension (5D) -y hay más-

"La tercera dimensión (3D) se refiere al plano físico y a la realidad física en la que vivimos. La cuarta dimensión (4D) se refiere al plano no físico, a la mente y a los pensamientos, incluyendo la imaginación. La quinta dimensión (5D) se refiere al plano cuántico (campo cuántico), a la vibración y a la energía subatómica que subyace todo lo que existe en el universo.

"Neville Goddard, afirma que la imaginación es la principal fuerza creadora de nuestra realidad. No es solo un pensamiento sino una creación en el reino espiritual. La "ley" es la de asumir que nuestros deseos ya son reales y la "promesa" es su manifestación en el mundo físico."

Una frase muy popular de Neville Goddard es que todo lo que existe fue primero concevido en imaginación.

SHIFTING

No todo el mundo relaciona shifting y manifestación (esto ya es opinión de cada uno) pero tiene los mismos conceptos.

Al igual que puedes cambiar tu frecuencia para alinearte con las cosas que deseas en la manifestación, el shifting funciona de manera similar.

Muchas personas simplifican el proceso de shifting al explicar que se trata de alinear tu frecuencia con la realidad a la que quieres estar.

Además, algunos también utilizan la misma lógica de manifestación para lograr realizar el shifting, lo cual puede hacer más fácil el proceso variando de persona a persona. (Con la ley de asunción por ejemplo).

(Si saben inglés la cuenta de Peter Cawkwell tiene videos muy interesantes de la metafisica de shifting)

CONCLUSIÓN.

Estos fueron todos los puntos con los que vi conexión. Algo importante que quiero aclarar es que no estoy diciendo que esto pruebe shifting para nada. Soy consciente de que me estoy basando en conceptos. Yo considero que shifting no se puede probar a otras personas aún, sino que es una experiencia personal que solo se puede probar a uno mismo, tus experiencias de shifting son solamente tuyas, pero si creo que es algo a lo que vale la pena darle el beneficio de la duda. Las experiencias que están teniendo las personas son reales.

Quizá no se pueda probar que el shifting es real pero tampoco es algo que se pueda desmentir.

En conclusión, shifting es posible, hay muchas cosas que aún no sabemos y que cada persona crea y practique lo que le haga feliz. :)

Al principio nadie creía en sueños lúcidos, proyección astral, o manifestación y actualmente son conceptos normales. Siento que el shifting eventualmente va a tomar el mismo camino.

(Hace diez años nadie creía que la manifestación era real, sin embargo encontré un libro de manifestación de 1925 "el libro de la vida y como jugarlo" de Florence Scovel Shinn, quien era una metafísica. Así que tenemos para rato).

hello! i'm also aspiring to be a future magi, and i want to also contract with madokami! i was wondering how you did it! i'm trying to collect all magi's experiences who have contracted with her to see what the best route would be for me! thank you so much ^w^

Hiii! I contracted through a ritual. I have a little altar for her (pretty simple, just a drawing, a candle and a red ribbon) so I sat in front of it, grabbed 3 items (one representing Madokami, one representing Sayaka and one for Nagisa. The items can be whatever but I used candles with their sigils) and placed them on the altar (Madoka's on the middle, Sayaka's on the right and Nagisa's on the left) and my soul gem vessel in front of them. I then cleansed my space, meditated for a bit and called upon Madokami. I asked if it was truly her (you can use your clair senses but I prefer divination tools, like the pendulum and tarot) and stated my wish and asked to make a contract. Afterwards, I asked if it was done (she answered with a yes for pendulum) asked if she had anything left to say, than to say through tarot and shuffled my cards. After I was done, I thanked her for her presence.

It was this pretty much! Hope it helps!

Getting Back into Witchcraft After a Break

Acknowledge the Break

Before jumping back in, take a moment to reflect on why you stepped away. This isn’t about judgment but understanding.

Were you overwhelmed or burned out?

Did life demand more of your time and energy?

Were you questioning your beliefs or struggling with doubt? → Write in your journal or meditate or draw how your time away has shaped you. This can help you clarify what you want to bring back into your practice and what you’re ready to let go of.

Start with Self-Compassion Your craft doesn’t require perfection. You’re not “behind” or “out of touch.” The beauty of witchcraft is its adaptability. Be kind to yourself and resist the urge to compare your journey to others’. Recognize that even mundane experiences can be a form of magic. Reconnect with Your Why

Ask yourself what drew you to witchcraft in the first place.

Was it a love of nature?

A connection to something greater?

A desire for empowerment, healing, or self-discovery?

Rekindling your “why” can reignite your passion and help you determine what aspects of the craft to focus on first.

Start Small and Simple

Don’t overwhelm yourself by trying to do all the things right away. Start with bite-sized practices:

Daily grounding: Take a few deep breaths while visualizing roots connecting you to the earth.

Light a candle: Focus on the flame as a symbol of your rekindled practice.

Morning or evening affirmations: Speak simple, empowering phrases to set your intentions for the day or night.

Observe the natural world: Notice the moon’s phase, the weather, or seasonal changes.

Small acts of magic build momentum over time.

Reassess Your Tools and Space

If you have a magical space, tools, or supplies, take stock:

Cleanse your tools: Use smoke, sound, or sunlight to refresh them.

Declutter: Let go of items that no longer resonate.

Reorganize: Arrange your space to reflect your current energy and intentions. → If your tools feel unfamiliar or you’re starting from scratch, remember you don’t need anything fancy. A notebook, a candle, and your intuition are enough.

Rebuild Your Foundations

Returning after a break is an opportunity to revisit the basics (just some options - no need or have to)

Meditation and visualization: Strengthen your focus and inner awareness.

Energy work: Practice grounding, centering, and shielding.

Correspondences: Relearn the meanings of herbs, crystals, colors, or elements that resonate with your practice.

Lunar and seasonal cycles: Reconnect with the moon phases, solstices, or festivals.

Explore What Feels Fresh

Your interests may have shifted during your break. Explore new areas of magic:

Divination: Experiment with tarot, runes, pendulums, or scrying.

Spellcraft: Try simple spells for protection, abundance, or self-love.

Nature magic: Work with seasonal energies, local plants, or animal spirits.

Deity work or spirit communication: If you work with deities, reintroduce yourself and reestablish your connection.

Follow your curiosity rather than forcing yourself to do things the “right” way.

Journal or Document Your Practice

Keeping track of your practice can help you stay engaged and reflective:

Daily reflections: Write down small magical moments or rituals.

Dream journaling: Explore messages or symbols in your dreams.

Grimoire: Update old entries or create new ones with fresh insights.

Embrace Seasonal and Cyclical Magic

The seasonal shifts are a great way to align yourself with natural energies.

Winter: Focus on rest, introspection, and shadow work.

Spring: Plant seeds of intention and engage in renewal rituals.

Summer: Embrace creativity, passion, and abundance.

Autumn: Release what no longer serves you and prepare for the darker half of the year.

Seek Community (If Desired)

If you feel isolated, reconnecting with others can inspire and motivate you:

Join online groups or forums.

Attend local witchy events, workshops, or festivals.

Share your journey with trusted friends or like-minded individuals.

Reminder: Community can be supportive, but your practice is deeply personal and doesn’t require external validation.

Working with Demons - version for busy witches

I want to preface by saying that I'm slightly fed up with the witchcraft community puting a lot of pressure on other (often beginner) witches to devote themselves 24/7 365 day in a year for their craft. I mean, if that's what you want then be my guest but there's witches like me, who are very busy with everyday life stuff to the point where it's not manageable for us to do rituals etc. everyday.

Since I'm currently working with demons, I'll focus my post on those beings but the info here could be applied to any beings if they agree to. What I mean is that, spiritual beings are often very considerate about our human life and they want the best for us so unless they want you to work with them everyday and stuff, you can be chill about your craft.

Anyway.. info here is based on my experience and relationship with Demons so it might not apply to you :)

.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。..・。.・゜✭・.

Most of the times Demons just want to have someone they can turn to. From my experience, they're already busy with their own stuff and humans for them are purely ment for energy exchange (this is another topic I might make a post or a video about lol). Many practiconers are working with Demons from different grimoires purely to get something from them and that's completely ok. When you choose to work with a Demon purely for quick things, you can make any kind of offering, ritual or ask them in astral projection and they can decide by themselves wether to help you or not. What I don't advise (but you still can do it if that's how your believe system works) to use any rituals from Solomonic magic (the list of demons is ok, idk about sigils I always felt guilty if I had to use them) as they're very hmm.. mean to Demons I'll say. If you want to summon a Demon and force them to do stuff for you then whatever you do you but I like them too much to do that to them. LeVeyan rituals are iffy for me but I heard they work as well. Whatever you want to gain from Demons, you have to remember that they have their own free will and they often don't care much about humans. This practice is very busy ppl friendly as it doesn't require you to do much.

But what if you want to have a longer connection with a Demon? Well, it's ok for you to not work with them 24/7!

Firstly, Demons don't have to choose you, for you to work with them. Really. That's bullshit. If you want to work with a certain Demon, make an offering and ask them. It's like, asking someone to be your friend. They can agree but they can also disagree, so be prepared for that. I haven't reached out to a Demon first so I'll say more on what to do when a Demon does the first step lol

So, it's somehow easy and not easy at the same time. When Satan first approached me, I mistook him for Lucifer (which I heard is very common). Recently I made a contact with Furcas and it was also very surprising to me, since I wanted to see Satan in the first place. Sometimes a not very known Demon will reach out to you so it's harder to gather info on them. So yeah, how to work with your Demon buddies?

Talk. Just talk to them. It's so simple but it works amazing. Talk not only to them but about them to other people. Don't be afraid to tell what they said to you or did (unless the Demon doesn't feel comfortable with you sharing something, please respect them). They love that since they have a bad reputation to many people (just don't be pushy about your believes). Plus talking is not very time consuming as you can do it anytime. Talk about your day, about your problems and just how you are. They listen trust me. If you want to listen to them, take a pendulum, tarot cards or any mean of divination you like and ask them, about their day, how they are, how they see themselves, you, and other Demons. This can take like few minutes or an hour but it's something that's not very time consuming imo.

For offerings. Candles. They love a good candle. You can write their name, sigil on it and decorate it. Use the color they like and herbs you have on you hand. I mostly use cabbage thistle (as it's been using by my grandmas for cleansing) and achillea but whatever you have on hand will work. Another one are crystals and incense. Ask them what they want and give it to them. Simple and effective.

Astral projection is more time and energy consuming so do it when you feel like doing it. Rituals are the same.

So to end the post, I just want to say that Demons (and most of the beings) understand that you are busy or struggle. If you struggle with mental or phisical health and you don't have time to work with them, treat helping yourself as an offering. Really. You're wellbeing is also important to them and should be to you. Take your meds, go to therapy or a doctor and also, they can help you with your problems. Don't beat yourself over the fact that you don't have time, if you really don't have time and energy. It's ok trust me.

Hey! I’ve been following for a while and I have a small question. I’m worried that I’m headblind/can’t feel or hear deities at all. When I work with reading flames or spinning coins, something feels off or wrong. And I’m too scared to use a pendulum because a friend of mine had a trickster on them last year. Is this something that I can fix or I have to work around? Do you have any tips to work past this or any communication methods? Thx for reading!

Hey, Nonny! Apologies for the late answer; I've been crazy busy lately.

So, I have a few things I can recommend as well as some things I hope you find reassuring.

Firstly, I'd like to say that I don't believe in trickster spirits - at least, not in the way that has been popularized. Are there spirits out there who are maybe not so good to be around? Yes, absolutely. But if you're reaching out to a specific deity, is someone else entirely going to answer? In my opinion, no. When you specifically call on a deity, I personally believe that only that deity is going to answer. If you're nervous about who will be on the other end of your prayer, I suggest using a broad epithet of the deity to get their attention. I have a pretty detailed post on my views that I'll link here and save you my long ass thought process. In general, though, deities are the protection from evil, not the cause of it, and that holds true when it comes to supposed trickster spirits.

Secondly, I do believe that deity communication is a skill that can be practiced and learned, but sometimes it's much more difficult for some than others. For some people, they struggle to do it at all, and that's not a bad thing. I feel there is a misconception going around that in order to have an actual relationship with your deities, you need to be able to communicate through divination or have to sense their presence. However, this is untrue. You can still have strong deity relationships through prayer and other simple means of communication. Deities will still listen to you, and you'll often find that they'll still answer, even if it's not in ways that are often discussed online. Deities communicate through a variety of means - dreams, physical signs and omens, divination, even encounters with strangers - and to enforce a limited view on their communication abilities is something I'm strongly against, yet it is often the only thing that's popularized. Online, you often hear stories of people speaking directly to deities and being able to physically see them. You even hear stories of perfect and flawless communication through divination. The things is, we often don't see the rigorous practice and build up that it took for someone to get there. In my experience, even just by speaking to other practitioners, these communication skills seldom come naturally.

Thirdly, I do have sources that you can look into that explore different methods of deity communication as well honing your ability to use those methods. This post discusses how to differentiate between your inner voice and that of a deity. This post talks about identifying signs from deities. There are other ways to identify signs not mentioned in this post, but this is a great place to start. This post mentions some ways deities can try to contact you, just in general. This post is about narrowing down which deities are trying to contact you. While not directly related to your situation, it could still be helpful. This post is specifically geared towards to the headblind. It gives some great tips on figuring out what deities are trying to communicate. I highly suggest you take a look at my Deities & Entities section in my pinned post for more. Finally, here is a masterpost I made of various divination methods - all great ways to communicate with deities.

I will say that it takes a lot of practice, especially if you're coming from a place where you've never felt or experienced anything relating to deities, but in my opinion, it's not impossible most of the time. Even if you ARE fully head blind, that's not a bad thing. Like I said earlier, it doesn't prevent you from having meaningful relationships with deities. The best thing you can do for yourself is to stop comparing yourself to other worshippers and their experiences. At the end of the day, everyone's practice will differ vastly from each other, and even when you have things in common, you will still find that you do some things way differently from the other practitioner. Even the way that deities present themselves to people varies. For example, I often see Apollon as having long, wavy hair that's golden blond. However, I've met another person who sees him as having shoulder length hair that's more of a strawberry blond. I even know someone who only sees the gods in the forms of animals, viewing Apollon as a swan, crow, or crane. Deity experiences are almost never exactly the same. How you do things will always differ, and there's nothing wrong with that. There's nothing wrong with the way you practice, and you're not doing anything wrong by struggling to communicate. It's ok, and you are perfectly fine the way you are. 🫂

I hope you found my answer helpful. I know it was pretty wordy, but I hope you don't mind that too much. I wish you the best on your journey, Nonny, and I truly hope you can feel secure and happy in your practice. I believe in you, and I'm proud of you for the progress you've already made. Take care. 🧡

Headcanons of Scale and Poe with a Marshmallow telling them that they're their "first everything" pls?

;_;

Scale:

-Lowkey really glad because you're his first everything, too.

-That means that you're both bumbling your way through this relationship since neither of you has any experience, but that's okay.

-I feel like Scale is on a swinging pendulum of 'extremely confident' to 'extremely insecure' when it comes to romance. A marshmallow who has no previous dating experience would be nice for him since he wouldn't have to worry about you comparing him to past relationships.

-(Not that you would in the first place, but it makes him feel a bit better regardless.)

-It's nice to feel like you're in it together, learning and experimenting along the way. He also doesn't have to feel like a dunce if he messes up or doesn't get something right on his first try.

-He's also honored that you've chosen him of all people to be your first. You could have anyone you wanted but the fact that you want him above all others- well, it means a lot to him. He's glad to be your first choice.

-He's so awkward when you first tell him. (It's cute though.)

-"O-Oh, uh... Yeah, same here..."

Poe:

-Poe doesn't have a ton of experience, but he's messed around here and there. Nothing ever quite as serious as what he's built with you, though.

-Even if you're not technically his first, it certainly feels like you are... No one has ever made his heart pound like you have, and it's an entirely different experience than what he's had before.

-Poe always kind of assumed that the 'sparks' that writers always talked about were just exaggerated- something to fluff up their writing. But after meeting you... He discovers that it's very, very real.

-He's never really been the type that seeks out or craves true love. In the beginning, he figures his relationship with you will be the same as his previous ones- simple and casual.

-But he's oh, so wrong. I think your declaration that he's your first will make him realize just how serious you two have become.

-It's not a bad thing- not at all, but it makes his heart beat faster and his eyes widen, just a bit.

-This wasn't casual for you at all- it likely never was- not if he was your first.

-When you tell him he gets this kind of goofy smile on his face and he kisses you.

-"Thanks for choosing me... I'm honored."
