The Shunned Yoni

We all know creation and birth stems from somewhere. From the most sacred gateways that nature created The womb vagina or ; the female genitalia which symbolizes generative power. The woman is delicate, graceful and loving at same time, forceful, impactful, insightful, and a creator. How can we call this realm mother earth and not think women were here first or the creators only a true creator could create and be humble while their creation becomes egotistical while claiming to be the original archetype From their mesmerizing eyes calming vice diplomatic minds soft touch hypnotic walk and seductive aura. From the spiritual abyss, every angle, precise detail was made to flow with the oceans waves, their calming nature can settle the storms, or be fierce as the storm. So much history and powers lays beneath these ripples in the sea. As the tear drops of sorrow and betrayal fall upon the blueish lake. Shunned no more, openish enters the heart, truth reveals the veil, expressiveness leads way, acceptance is here to stay.

As an active plot to pacify her & her waters, her descendants, her priestesses, her daughters, her initiates, her love, but most disrespectfully her waters. She was made as an extension, and as the image of god. She started in darkness, she is the water they poisoned. Look inside, and you'll see that you are purely her mirror, because you are her. She was demonized, and in the end turned against. Hell hath no fury like a black woman scorned.

The deepest part in you resides, this is the sacrum area. You hold future generations and civilizations within you yet they seek to destroy and disrespect you. Let there be no mistake, that you are the force and the life way past than what science can understand or comprehend. Do you remember? Do you remember your throne, and those you taught. In the end, they turned against you. Used your teachings for their new world, and white washed yours away just for a seat on your throne. There's a part of you that lays deep in the water waiting to be awakened and take back what's hers. They took the seed of life and realized they could not imitate because they did not have it within them. There will be a storm that awakens that seed, she is abrupt and comes like nothing you've ever seen before. Deep Down, we as women have been taught to hide our sexuality or that it was a bad thing. However, these days feminine sexuality has been more accepted, and broadcasted for everyone to see. In a way, this is good but also bad, because the sacredness of this has been corrupted and the true meaning is lost in ignorance.

In the womb, we grow, and develop in water for up to 10 months. Our bodies are mostly water, and the planet we live on resembles this. All Life must be formed through liquid, it is the most fertile, and feminine. Think of a plant without water, and sun, but water especially nothing will sprout. Whether it be alchemy, or astrology, the most feminine elements will be water, and earth. water is the 1st element, signifying its power. water can heal, and destroy you. The yoni is simply a portal, entering into a sea of memory, and mysteries. When we look into the mystery of outer space, galaxies, stars, plane-ts, and black holes. Then you begin to look within yourself, your own body, you see the sayings, "As above, so below" " As within, so without", and the most telling " Your body is a temple". You see the answer manifest, and replicate inside of you.

The power of the yoni, is nothing to be taken lightly, and is actually a symbol of life and death. If all women collectively agreed to stop reproducing, that would simply be the end. For this reason, there has been a demonization placed upon women whether that be our bodies, hair, features, etc.

There is such a huge attack on the water spirits right now. Looking back to the astrological take on this matter, the sign pisces is the last and final sign of the zodiac. This is a water sign. In christianity, the symbol "Vesica Pisces" is a very prominent symbol representing Jesus Christ who "walked on water." Ironically, this symbol represents a fish, and the pisces symbol is a fish. If you look closer at the shape of this symbol, you'll realize this looks similar to the vaginal canal. Pisces is known to be the yin most, and the darkness which the creator resides in. In sacred geometry, there is the flower of life and seed of life, both using the symbol vesica pisces within those shapes. Within all of this, we begin the covering up of our primordial origins, within christianity, and many modern-day religions. the presence of priestesses, goddesses, empresses, and queens have been stripped and burned away. We know by now that the source of creativity, love, and rhythm comes from depths of the darkest waters, which pure yin. So what does that say about the bible or the said authors. let alone, the books, and the most important teachings that have been taken out of the bible, and also many others. This wasn't the only crime, but while erasing her presence, they tried to take away your magic, your creativity, and use your sexuality (which is your ability to manifest, and create) for their gain. As I ponder upon this, I am compelled to question: How many chapters of HIStory are indeed tales of men, or could they be the untold stories of women masked in masculine guise...

To close this out, let your mystical minds wander.... Think about how, in Christianity, to get baptized, you are laid into the waters to be reborn or cleansed from sin. Or, how a woman's water breaks signifying life & birth, or how you couldn't survive without water for more than 2 days.... Things like these make you wonder....

[artisticmenace]

a lot of my day is thinking "theres actually nothing wrong with me im lying" and then thinking "that in itself is the proof. also the fact that i felt emotions about it. also the fact that i can barely talk about it without having a fear response. also who tf am i lying to?"

so gang the proof is in the fucking pudding. you dont feel real emotions over nothing. at least in the case of "i am normal" "no mf you had a panic attack because you dont know if you can trust your own mind" something something the normal amount of pain is zero.

like idk if anyone else does this but there probably is because there are 8 billion people on planet earth and a few more in space and maybe a ways away or whateva

im openish abt my mental health and if that bites me in the ass so be it.

Bees!  Yes, we still mostly do bees, but have been targeting biodiversity surveys of the MAGLEV impact sites on the refuge.  Here look at this tiny bee, as with all creatures there is a story as to why you do or do not find it somewhere.  Here it is found because of sand (USGS TIP OF THE DAY. if you want regionally rare insects and plants  go to sand, if you want to conserve them, keep that sand openish and don't let those darn trees grow in them), it is restricted to deep sand areas in Maryland it is in love with the little fall composites (yes, insects feel love).  (Why do I still add 2 spaces to the end of a sentance?)This is just one of a handful of records on the Patuxent Refuge under the powerlines (transmission lines can often be the most awesome conservation area for plants and insects...because they have to be kept open ... or you can just mow all that goodness away with sprays and mowing...sigh) that will be  impacted by the MAGLEV the area is full of lovely things like blooming liatris and other prairie and bog type  species.  Photo by Adam Grima.

[In an “agony of impatience” to be off from Gothenburg, Anne is annoyed by incorrect watches and tardy tradesmen, but the journey finally continues, in a northerly direction. But not before arrangements have been made to send a barrel of Norwegian anchovies each to Vere, Lady Stuart, Lady Stuart de Rothesay, and Lady Gordon! Isn’t it just what you would expect a thoughtful yet slightly bonkers friend to send you from her travels? Well, postcards had not been invented yet.]

Can I ask how you got started in vulture culture stuff? I'm interested, but I don't know where to go to most likely find them that isn't Etsy. Also, if you ever need to clean them, how do you do that?

I was a morbid kid who lived on 44 acres of land, and also snuck onto neighbor's lands. I'd find lots of dead stuff on walks with my parents, and they'd sometimes let me take bones home to put around the "yard," on fences, etc. They knew I liked sciencey stuff, so they'd help me ID things if they could (deer and cows were about all they knew). It really became an interest of mine when our immediate neighbors killed their "pet" cows for meat (which upset me because they were my friends), and I tried to put the bones of the male cow in order when I found him months later (they dumped him over our fence). From there, it kinda just became a thing, and now I'm working toward getting my PhD in zooarchaeology. There are many good places to find bones. Kinda depends on where you live, I guess. If you're in a city with few parks, roadkill is probably your best bet unless you go outside the city. But in a suburb or rural setting, traveling in mostly untraveled spaces is the easiest way. I've always had luck finding bones in openish areas off the beaten path. Not necessarily a clearing in the woods or anything, but just small spaces where there are no large plants or lots of undergrowth. The further from where people frequent, the higher your chances. Sometimes I'll find bones strewn across a large space, and in that case you have to just kick up all the leaves and such to uncover them bomes. Cleaning bones is easy. You can bury them (I recommend in pantyhose so you don't lose any small bones), macerate them, or a mix of the two, in order to get the flesh off. Let them fully rot, then degrease with soapy water; Dawn works really well. To whiten, submerge them in hydrogen peroxide; this usually takes a day or so, depending on the color. Hopefully this helps a little. Let me know if I missed anything major :0

When my spouse and I are finally looking for a house, we'll be looking for one that can have a door put on the kitchen. This used to be standard (at least in the housing stock I've seen in the area I live in - most built pre-WW2) until some bright spark decided we needed open concept in our lives. And then everyone took the doors OFF the kitchens.

Why a door on the kitchen? It keeps smells and noise and heat from the rest of the living space. And it means that when we have guests they're not staring at the dishes I haven't tidied up yet. I had an openish floor plan for the living/dining/kitchen area at one point. It sucked. Give me a non-eat-in kitchen with a door and a dining room any day.
