One Story. One People. One Savior.

Somewhere along the way, a lot of us were taught that God has two plans. One plan for Israel.Another for the Church.Like God started with one thing, then changed His mind halfway through. But the Bible doesn’t tell that story. The Bible tells one story.About one people.Saved by one Savior.For one glory. “There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to one hope when you were…

🧠 BLACKSITE SCROLLTRAP — “SO YOU WANNA BE A SITH? LOL OKAY.”

You ever hear the story of Darth Plagueis the Wise?

No?

Then pack your little Sith cosplay and get the hell out.

You just failed the first question on the dark side exam. There are three rules to applying for Sith apprenticeship:

Know the story of Darth Plagueis.

Say it back in a creepy whisper.

Never blink when doing it.

You blinked during the question. You Googled the story. You pronounced “Plagueis” like “Plague-ass.”

Application denied.

—

Let’s not pretend you’re special.

You’re not the heir to a secret Sith bloodline. You’re not the chosen one. You’re not even chosen adjacent.

You once got called “menacing” on Tinder and now you think you’re ready to kill your master?

Bro, you cried when Netflix canceled Daredevil. You can’t even handle your WiFi cutting out— and you want to wield ancient Force hatred without flinching?

—

Let’s do a quick diagnostic:

📋 Childhood trauma? ⛔️ Nope. You just didn’t get a PS5 for Christmas.

📋 Hate in your heart? ⛔️ Mostly toward your ex and people who spoil anime.

📋 Ruthless ambition? ⛔️ You applied for this with a cover letter that said “just vibes.”

Bro you failed the Sith Rorschach test by seeing a cat in every inkblot.

You’re not a dark lord. You’re a LARPing disappointment in a red bathrobe.

—

What’s your name? Kyle? Tyler? Zane?

No Sith in galactic history was named Zane.

You want to strike fear into the galaxy with that?

“My lord… it’s Darth Zane.”

No. No it’s not.

You sound like a vape-sponsored Twitch streamer who owns a replica saber and a fedora collection.

—

Let’s talk résumé.

You’ve rage quit Call of Duty. You once punched a wall because your UberEats was late. You cussed out your mom for unplugging your Xbox mid-duel.

Impressive.

If this were the Sith Daycare Division maybe we’d let you in.

But this is the real Order. And you’re a force-choking liability.

—

Palpatine didn’t rise from nothing with a dream board and iced coffee.

He manipulated an entire senate. He engineered a galactic war. He wore a cloak that smelled like lightning and betrayal.

And you?

You get winded walking up stairs. You get emotional during TikToks. You cried when Grogu left.

You think that's dark energy?

Nah. That’s middle-school depression with extra steps.

—

Let’s talk powers.

You fantasized about Force lightning. But couldn’t even handle static shock from a hotel doorknob.

You tried Force choking your ex. All you did was text her “k.” Then spiral for three weeks.

Your dark side “training” consisted of:

Scowling in the mirror

Doing push-ups after breakups

And posting cryptic quotes like “A lion doesn’t lose sleep over sheep… unless he’s lactose intolerant” or some sh*t.

—

Let’s talk lineage.

The Sith take bloodlines seriously. They trace their roots through centuries of betrayal, death, and Force-fueled orgies.

You? Your family can’t trace their DNA past Ancestry.com.

No one in your bloodline has ever ruled a room, let alone a planet.

Your dad’s a pharmacist. Your mom sells LuLaRoe. Your great uncle cried at a chili cook-off.

The Force doesn’t run through your blood. It avoids it.

—

Here’s a checklist of actual Sith qualities:

✅ Willingness to kill your master ✅ Mastery of deception, manipulation, and Force abuse ✅ Ability to monologue with thunder crashing behind you ✅ Face must look like you’ve aged in reverse through rage ✅ Zero friends, maximum influence

You?

❌ Uses “💀💅” in text arguments ❌ Apologized to your cat after raising your voice ❌ Only rage-murdered in The Sims ❌ Thinks Darth Maul “could get it” but still spells his name “Mole” ❌ Flinches at Jumpscares in Minecraft

—

Let’s be honest.

You’re not Sith.

You’re Sith-adjacent. Like a barista at a Sith-run Starbucks. You make the lattes. We make the deaths.

—

Try these instead:

Become a Dark Side influencer. (Use the hashtag #SithButMakeItSexy)

Run a podcast called “Force Ghosted: Tales of Rejection”

Get a kyber crystal, name it Kevin, tell people you “vibe together”

Apply to the Empire as a Stormtrooper (you’ll miss anyway)

Or just…

Try therapy.

The Force is probably not your issue. You just never unpacked the time your crush ignored your meme reply.

—

Sith rejection isn’t personal. It’s planetary.

You’re not our kind of evil. You’re just Twitter mean.

The galaxy doesn’t need another emotionally constipated villain with a lightsaber and daddy issues.

We’ve got enough of those already.

In what context would you have effigies of evil spirits? Or objects carrying curses in general

I haven't really specifically invoked folk religious practices in the Wardi sphere (though a lot of what I've talked about includes it), a LOT of stuff revolving around curses is derived from folk magic traditions.

Folk religion here means magical/spiritual practices that develop out of common practice and may be Informed by religious doctrine but not Controlled by it. The Faith of the Seven Faced God is a state religion, but its broader sphere includes dozens of folk traditions (some heavily informed by and interactive with core doctrine, and some that are very distinct from core doctrine and have developed independently, or are heavily syncretic with foreign practices, older Wardi practices, or those of other native groups).

There's also major separation between the practices of priesthoods and lay folk (even in the urban context in which religious authority is based). This divide is fairly stark across class lines (as the upper classes are heavily integrated with the priesthoods, and Most priesthoods take their members from nobility (with Galenii being the only major exception)). However, virtually all members of society will include Some folk religious aspects in their practice. For example, the wearing of skimmer-woman amulets is Not derived from official doctrine, it is Not a canonical representation of Pelennaumache (with whom it is usually associated) this is just a very widespread folk practice (to the point that many priests wear them too). The Faith of the Seven Faced God is not proselytizing and prioritizes core orthopraxy being maintained (both on a public and private level, but the private levels are not actively policed). So these folk practices are not condemned unless they outright defy/supercede expected elements of practice.

This is the context for a lot of what I'm talking about wrt curses and magical practices outside of official rites. So like, belief in curses and evil spirits is basically ubiquitous in the Imperial Wardi cultural sphere, but folk traditions have unique ways of dealing with these threats (or inflicting these threats upon an intended target) while religious doctrine attempts to address these via blessings and public rites.

So to actually answer the question: a very common folk religious practice is to produce effigies of an offending evil spirit as means of confronting it. Some variants attempt to specifically trap it within the effigy in order to contain or destroy it, others attempt to wield power over it via the effigy (sometimes to destroy it, sometimes to redirect it to another target). Other effigies representing evil spirits in general are used to scare off real ones (the hats of the new years dancers are an example of this that has found a place in official public rites).

Attempts to cast spells and inflict curses usually involves objects as mechanisms. This most commonly comes in the form of writing your intent on a small object (frequently pieces of broken pottery, which is easy to come by) and then burying or hiding it in a secure and relevant location (ie- a curse or love spell might be buried near the home of your target). If it's targeted, parts of the other person's body (most commonly hair, best case scenario blood) will be bound to it in order to direct the spell. Somewhat lazier curse and spell attempts involve scrawling your desired effect onto a public wall as graffiti. The outer walls of temple grounds are sometimes targeted specifically for this purpose in hopes of getting God directly involved (this is Not Condoned, though will not get you executed like defacing the temple itself).

Other methods involve attempting to imbue a nondescript object with the intended curse/spell (often in order to get it close to the target without being questioned). This often integrates aspects of traditional medicine, using the Essence of various items (plants, animal parts, minerals, etc) to imbue an object with their effect (usually while speaking your intended spell/curse. Some folk traditions involve animal sacrifice to work magic- the animal is killed in offering to one of God's Faces (which are often interpreted more like a pantheon in common practice, especially those distanced from religious centers) so that the deity will perform the desired effect, imbue an object with the desired effect, etc. This IS condemned as heretical- official doctrine holds that ONLY priests can perform killing sacrifices, a layman does not have the necessary education and practice to do so properly, and attempting to is at best disrespectful and at worst spiritual defacement to the body of God (which the animal becomes at the moment of death). (Laymen can buy or provide animals to be offered on their behalf, but themselves can only offer their own blood or food/drink/flowers/incense/etc). It's particularly heretical when done to inflict curses - doctrine holds that God does not curse and only maintains order and blesses, curses and other spiritual harm come from being partly severed from God's influence and/or disruption of the body's living spirit (something all people are susceptible to). Laymen (and unofficial priesthoods/sects) sometimes do this regardless in secrecy (and it's very common in rural parts of the region with little access to religious centers), under the belief that this will make their magic substantially more powerful.

Bottom line is there are all sorts of methods to make cursed objects, so it's pretty common that people will find objects suspected of being cursed (or that actually Have been placed with intent to inflict a curse/spell), and in that context need methods of breaking the curse. Blessings from a priest are thought to dispel most common attachments to the body, but this is not always accessible and the object itself must be neutralized. This is sometimes accomplished by simply Putting It Somewhere Else so it becomes another person's problem, but there's a chance that the curse could be highly directed to oneself (maybe bound with your hair or etc). Most practices include a combination of neutralizing, destruction, and purification. Neutralizing is done via deflection (like the method mentioned in the prev post, though there are many other strategies), at which point the object may be safely destroyed. Lingering attachments are removed through self purification (at the most basic, this is performing one of the gestures against evil and bathing oneself).

The wearing of most apotropaic amulets hope to prevent curses from reaching their targets from the get-go. The pelatoche works to deflect the evil eye and minor evil spirits and curses, the phallus imbues masculine protection of the sanctity of the body, transforms bad luck into good, and threatens reprisal for curses. etc. These kinds of amulets are worn on all levels of society, but tend to be relied upon more fully by the upper classes (which are more closely looped in with the priesthood/state religion). Someone like Janeys wears at Least one pelatoche amulet constantly for protection but thinks most other folk-magic attempts to dispel curses are silly commoner superstitions, any harm that cannot be prevented by this sort of protection needs an official blessing and purification to be dispelled.

People will turn away from God in the last days

1 Let me tell you this. During the last days of this world, there will be times of great trouble. 2 People will love only themselves, and they will want lots of money for themselves. They will be proud and they will say how great they are. They will insult other people. They will not obey their parents. They will not thank anyone who helps them. They will not respect anything that is good. 3 They will not be kind to other people, but they will like to quarrel. They will tell lies to hurt other people. They will be unable to control themselves properly. They will be cruel and they will hate anything that is good. 4 People will turn against their friends. They will do foolish things. They will boast that they are very important. They will not love God, but instead they will only want to enjoy themselves. 5 Those people will seem to be serving God. But really they refuse to accept God's power to help them. You must stay away from people like that.

6 Among those people, there are some men who find a way into people's homes. They get power over silly women who feel very guilty about their sins. Those women want to do wrong things and they cannot stop themselves. 7 They are always trying to learn new things, but they can never really understand God's true message. 8 These are people who speak against God's true message, in the same way that Jannes and Jambres spoke against Moses. Their minds have become confused. The way that they serve God is false. 9 But they will not continue to do many more bad things. Everyone will see clearly that they are fools. That is what happened to Jannes and Jambres.

Timothy must copy Paul's example

10 But you, Timothy, have heard my message and you know it well. You also know the way in which I have lived. You know my purpose in life. You know how I trust God. You know how patient I have been. You know my love for God and for other people. You know that I have been strong during troubles. 11 You also know what happened to me in the cities called Antioch, Iconium and Lystra. People caused me to have a lot of trouble and pain in those places. But I was patient and brave in those bad troubles! And the Lord kept me safe in all those dangerous times.

12 It is not only me. Every Christian who wants to live in a way that pleases God will have trouble from other people. 13 Bad people like that will become even worse. Some of them will teach a false message and people will believe their lies. Those false teachers even believe their own lies!

It is important for us to know the Bible

14 But you must continue to believe the things that you have learned. You know that those things are true. You know the teachers who taught you those things. 15 Even when you were a child, you already knew the message of the Bible. The Bible has taught you how you can be truly wise. You understand that God saves you because you believe in Christ Jesus. 16 Everything that is written in the Bible comes from God's Spirit. It helps us in many ways. The Bible teaches us what is true. It warns us when we are doing wrong things. It shows us what is right. It teaches us how to live good lives. 17 As a result, people who want to serve God can know how to live properly. They will be people who are ready to do all kinds of good things. — 2 Timothy 3 | EasyEnglish Bible (EASY) EasyEnglish Bible Copyright © MissionAssist 2019 - Charitable Incorporated Organisation 1162807.

Man, this isn’t even in my wheelhouse anymore, but it’s annoying how much Internet Christians have been misreporting what Pope Francis actually said regarding “blessing” same-sex couples and female priests in that letter that wasn’t even meant for the laity to read in the first place. Like if you’re going to criticize the pope and the Catholic Church, at least make sure it’s for something that actually happened, not blatant lies and bearing false witness.

Embracing Correction and Truth  

Spiritual maturity is a journey—a transformative process that challenges us to move beyond our own understanding and align our hearts and minds with the truth of God’s Word. This growth often involves reproof and correction, two elements that may feel uncomfortable but are essential for shaping us into the image of Christ. As believers, we are called to renew our minds through Scripture, allowing…

Can Christians Turn Away from God?

Can Christians turn away from God after being saved? Yes, they can. Do they lose their salvation if this happens? No, they do not. Eternal life, once received, cannot be lost or forfeited. While there are consequences for turning away from God—such as divine discipline and the loss of rewards—losing eternal salvation is not one of them. Scripture teaches, “If we are faithless, He remains…

sometimes I get a dogwater take on one of my posts and I open up the person’s bio and the first word is ‘atheist’ and I’m like. ah. that’s why. as a transgender bisexual man who grew up in the Bible Belt and now considers myself an agnostic, there are truly some atheists who rival evangelicals in terms of obnoxious dismissive behavior and superiority complexes. not believing in a higher power? fine, good, some of the best people I’ve ever known are atheists. treating any and every religious belief/tennet as useless ignorant superstition and thinking you’re the only person on the planet who is correct? dude, c’mon, fuck you.

and I get it, there are a lot of religious doctrines that I think are inherently harmful and have been turned against me as a gay person in a Christian area. I don’t think religion is evil. I think it’s a tool people use to help them navigate life. sometimes that tool is bad and it hurts them and others. sometimes it’s good and people do great things because of it. I’m not better than other people because I do not lean on this tool as heavily/at all.
