🍁🔮 10 Autumn Witchy Practices🌙🍂

1. 🌕 Harvest Moon Rites 🌾

Under the luminescent embrace of the Harvest Moon, unveil rituals of abundance, manifestation, and profound connection. Ignite candles, consecrate your sacred space, and let the moon's ethereal glow infuse your spells with celestial might.

2. 🎃 The Magic of the Pumpkin 🎃

Beyond their pumpkin spice allure, pumpkins hold an enchanting power. Carve intricate sigils, transform them into altars, or concoct elixirs infused with their mystical essence. These gourds harbor the key to banishing negativity and inviting prosperity.

3. 🌿 Herbal Alchemy 🍂

Autumn bestows a trove of botanical treasures, each brimming with magical potency. Sage purifies, rosemary shields, and cinnamon invokes warmth and abundance. Mix these sacred herbs to craft your own elixirs and brews, weaving your intentions into existence.

4. 🍂 Communion with the Woods 🌲

Step into the ancient embrace of the forest, where whispers of forgotten wisdom linger. Wander among the trees, meditate beneath their boughs, or collect leaves to attune yourself to the Earth's ancient heartbeat.

5. 🕯️ The Enchantment of Candle Magic ✨

Autumn's chill beckons the flicker of candles, a gateway to the supernatural. Harness the essence of colors and scents to amplify your spells. Pink for love, purple for wisdom—light the way to your desires and witness their manifestation.

6. 🍎 Divination with Apples 🍏

Beyond the bobbing game lies an age-old divination practice. Inscribe your queries upon apple peels, release them into a vessel of water, and interpret the apple's message as it floats toward your answer. It's like conversing with the spirits themselves.

7. 🌙 Moonwater's Mystique 🌊

Capture the moon's ethereal energy with the creation of moonwater. Leave a vessel under the moonlight to charge, and use this elixir for cleansing and empowering your magical tools. It's the alchemical elixir that bridges the realms.

8. 🍁 Tarot of the Autumn Leaves 🍂

Trade your tarot deck for the wisdom of autumn's multicolored leaves. Attribute meanings to each leaf type and let the breeze guide your selection. Mother Nature herself shall unfurl the secrets of your destiny.

9. 🎶 The Enchanted Melody 🎶

Compose a bewitching playlist that resonates with your inner mystic. Whether it's the haunting melodies of Loreena McKennitt, the ethereal ballads of Donovan, or the timeless harmonies of Fleetwood Mac, let the music inspire your enchantments, guiding your spirits as you dance beneath the moonlight.

10. 🧹 The Broomstick's Esoteric Purpose 🧹

While soaring on broomsticks remains the stuff of legend, your broom holds symbolic significance. Use it to cleanse your sacred space, banish negativity, and usher in blessings and abundance. It's the earthly bridge to the astral realms.

"Help from the sky"

Okay, this should be the last story. The hero of this story is Farmer Hestia! (@g0atmama OC) (Sorry I forgot for you, I just remembered this morning that it's in drafts 🙏.)

The blood oozed from his nose as annoyingly slow as from Julian's other wounds, but he knew not to be distracted for a second. The blow had rebounded. Then another, and another.

How could he have miscalculated like that? Going into the goddamn damn desert, fighting Apophis, and yet not preparing properly. And now what does he have in the end? Yes, the monster itself is dead, Julian did a great job here, but he overestimated his capabilities, forgetting about the equally dangerous minions in Crimson Baldlans. No elixirs or totems to escape, he's wounded and tired and can barely walk, let alone run!

A bump, another bump, another-

"Augghh!"

Blasted thing!... Still, one of the mummies clutched Julian's side before the young adventurer destroyed the monster, leaving only filthy bandages.

Blood rushed out so quickly.... It hurt, it hurt like hell. Unable to bear the weight of his own body, Julian fell to his knees, mumbling frantically. He couldn't get up. He must, but he couldn't...

The swift serpent is already rushing toward the wounded Julian with open mouth, preparing to deliver the final death blow. The poor young man can't even lift his head.

Is this it?...

Before something woke up inside Julian, he heard a roar, but it was a different roar from the monsters he had slain in this wastelands. The sand shook beside him, and he heard a whistling sound like a whip slicing through the air, and saw the serpent that had been flying toward him lying dead.

A huge shadow looming over him.

Even despite the blood red fog and sandstorm, Julian could make out glittering scales like beautiful amethysts that lay in a row on top of each other. The dragon's blue eyes looked into his multicolored eyes with concern. Julian would never have thought that the first time he met an unfamiliar dragon (even the very fact that it was a living dragon!) he would feel as safe as in his own mother's arms.

It was as if something inside told him that the creature wouldn't hurt him

In an instant, the look in the dragon's eyes changed to rage, and turning to the source of it's fury - the approaching monsters - she spewed from mouth a powerful stream of magic, causing the monsters to turn into ice statues forever.

Julian, still wounded and tired, had already lost the last of his strength to stay conscious, and his head sank sharply to the bloody sand. He could no longer feel something take his body and lay it on his slightly rough back, and then fly into the air

..............

Waking up was hard, but the mere fact that Julian was able to wake up was already a good sign. It meant he wasn't dead. Then who or what saved him? He opened his eyes wider and realized he was lying in a cave beneath the Castle Village outpost, on a bed. His wounds had been treated with something that smelled like mountain herbs and bandaged. As he tried to rise, someone placed a hand on his chest and as gently as possible brought him back to a lying position.

"I advise you not to get up, the life elixir hasn't taken effect yet".

Julian tried to open his eyes wider and turned his head toward the source of the sound. A young woman was sitting beside him, her blue eyes glowing in the darkness of the cave. The same blue, and concerned, that he had seen while he was still conscious. Or, was this dragon he'd seen, just a hallucination from blood loss? Dragon? Here?

But dragon or not, he knows who to thank for saving him.

"Thank you..." Julian said quietly, and smiled tiredly at the girl. She smiled back at him in return.

"You're welcome. I'm Hestia, by the way".

The armored automotive prosthetic bionic arm comes with a built in injection system with multicolored serums. These serums are contained in vials that are unknown glowing cardinal, cerulean, emerald, silver, tangerine, gold, & violet fluids. 

These serums are made from human and alien materials found throughout the federations, empires, & confederacies of human and alien humanoids of the multiverse that are then ground up and mixed into concoctions, brews, potions, & elixirs. That when injected from the bionic prosthetic arm into the biological body through the injection system greatly enhances the user's strength, dexterity, constitution, durability, perception, awareness, intelligence, endurance, stamina, agility, flexibility, reflexes, dexterity, & speed at a supernatural level. 

The serum injection system also has a separate glowing obsidian vial that when injected into the user through the bionic arm with a time limit of a few minutes turns the user into a controlled berserker. Allowing them to fight at their fullest potential at a superhuman level without limits by weaponizing their inherent biology as a metahuman demigod and superhuman alien hybrid. It lets them release themselves of all rational restraints in battle. It lets them go into a controlled induced rage mode and combat enhanced mode but without the side effect of a berserker rage. 

It lets them immerse themselves completely in combat as a controlled berserker becoming a powerful ally for friends and a dangerous enemy for foes. As a controlled berserker they can tell the difference between ally and foe. They can ignore physical damage with pain suppression and injury immunity as if it never affected them and continue fighting past their limits but only for several minutes. It makes them unpredictable when fighting enemies and hard to counter. As a controlled berserker the user’s intelligence is not affected like a regular berserker. 

However the side effect is the severe backlash when the controlled berserker rage is over. The main side effect is while a user is only able to ignore the effects of pain and injuries while sustained in the berserker state. These injuries take full effect when they come out of the induced berserker rage once these chemicals wear off. They have to heal from the damage and pain on their own with their healing factor. The other side effect is that it leaves the user exhausted for several minutes as they run out of endurance and stamina.

This is based on the magical humanoid technology of the world of the Afro Asian Native variant human, fae elvish, goblinoid, & giant kin ancestry adventurer who’s a spellcaster, sword fighter, & gunslinger. It was created when the Afro Asian character came to the near and far future from their own modern but not futuristic world with magic (imagine 1950s but with magic) on a magical giant planet. They came over through a singularity or anomaly that bridged their worlds together.

What is the healing powers truly that some claim is within a crystal? Crystals are amazingly beautiful stones just to look upon. Many can calm and soothe a person surely gazing into the multicolored facets of the stone. Many physicians will tell you that this alone is a healing power as stress has been that will cause many different ailments.

But with use in the place of crystal within a pendulum, the wonder of the art also improves as well as the pendulums are felt ideal and unique because along with properties.

Clown Hell Finale - Clowning Around

The time has come - you’re finally standing in front of this big-top cathedral of a circus tent which has been your guiding beacon while wandering this strange land, this Dark Carnival. All timelines in your Sight seem to lead into this towering structure, then become too hazy to track as they proceed for some time. A bit troubling perhaps, but goodness if it isn't so curiosity inducing. From within you hear the honks and cavorting of clowns, a thunderous congregation of them, being spoken to by a powerful, charismatic voice that booms over the others.

Still a bit hazy and giddy from your carousel ride, you giggle anxiously to yourself as you stand just outside the tent entrance, building up your courage to head inside. It's not until the congregation leader's voice declares that "Now, I've all up and heard there's a new motherfuckin face around our lovely Carnival, brothers and sisters! One who's been having one hell of a righteous time out there! And unless I'm pure wrong, I think it's likely our new sister is standin... RIGHT THE MOTHERFUCK OUTSIDE THIS GLORIOUS TENT. Why don't we give her a warm fuckin welcome?!" and a beam of light from a spotlight settles through the entryway that you step forward into the tent and into a round of applause.

Past the brilliant beam of the spotlight, you make out the biggest carnival tent you've ever seen, tiered layers of surprisingly lavish seating surrounding the main rings, with connected hallway tents leading away to other smaller rooms off the main concourse. Dozens and dozens of clowny individuals fill the seats, both consort species and trolls alike, all cheering for you and stomping and honking. There in the center stage stands a toweringly tall highblood woman, dressed up like a ringmaster with a top hat and corset and tailed jacket. She looks... curvaceous yet powerful, heavy breasts and wide hips accentuating a plump frame with muscle underneath. A confident grin beams out past a meticulously painted face, and well-polished horns shaped like an elk's emerge from beneath a shaggy but tamed mane of hair. Under the beckoning gestures of the woman and the applause all around you, you walk up the center aisle and into the center ring with her, having to lean back on your heels just to look up at her fully.

"Well hello there, little sis! Let me get a good look at you! I been hearin all kinds of good motherfuckin news about the cute lil alien girl who's been wandering her way through our fine congregation. You've been playin up and nice with every brother and sister you met, I heard." she says in that booming, somehow amplified voice of hers, and you flush slightly as you nod. She lightly tousles your hair with a broad gloved hand and then tilts your head back so she can inspect you more thoroughly. "Little sis looks like she's up and embracing our look already - you got the clothes, your paint could use some work but you're all up in the right place, you even got a sylladex full a' wicked elixir, ain't that right?"

You nod almost sheepishly, a little flustered from your place in the spotlight, the hair tousling, and the direction the discussion is going. You're not sure how she knows your inventory is mostly full of their soda, it just makes sense she can somehow see it. The woman's grin broadens further, her eyes narrowing as she chuckles under her breath. "Well then, since you're already up and on the good and righteous motherfuckin track, I think it’s good and time for a proper initiation, don’t all of you, my brothers and sisters?” she calls out to the congregation, met with uproarious applause. Wait, initiation? You're not sure if your heart just dropped into your stomach in concern or jumped up into your throat in anticipation... after a moment's introspection you think it's both.

A few attendants gather around you as the Ringmatron leers down at you, a look of Mirthful mischief in her eyes. You sink slowly to a kneeling posture under their guidance, gulping anxiously with your heart racing. It'll be fine, you assure yourself, probably just more pranks, cheap soda, and boning, the biggest gangbang of them all, while the Ringmatron talks. Nothing more untoward than that, clearly; nothing from your lewd imaginings that's making you start to tent your thong already as some trolls gather round you and others run off further into the cathedral tent for 'supplies'. Hands begin palming at you from all directions, groping your curves, pulling your clothes away, even somehow wiping clean your streaked and smudged facepaint from your apple-bobbing venture, and any lingering remnants of your painted-on clothes. For a moment before the true festivities begin, you’re fully bare before the congregation. Then the cartloads of supplies arrive - one laden with dozens of bottles of colorful soda, another with tin after tin of lime-green pie. A cheer goes up and the Ringmatron begins to speak over you, her eyes beginning to flicker a telltale glow. You feel that flicker start to resonate inside your head, and everything becomes a little foggier, a bit funnier, just overall tingly and happy around the edges. You lean into the clowns surrounding you, eager to partake in their festivities while the Ringmatron talks about a “Righteous motherfuckin threefold baptism” and the “Glorious Rites” afforded to new converts. Certain words stick in your head, even as the rest is lost to the din of the revelry. 

At the Ringmatron’s guidance, the gathering takes up bottles of their ‘wicked elixir’ and begins to shake them with vigor.With a cheer, they all flick the caps off to free a multicolored fountain of frothy bubbles and sticky soda arching into the air. It sprays all over the place as one might expect, the bottles shaken up as they erupt to send it flying across the whole congregation, but much of it is focused right on your kneeling form. It tingles as it soaks you, and you open your mouth almost reflexively to allow the soda to anoint your tastebuds. Goosebumps rise up across your frame as you taste the cloying yet intoxicating flavors mingling, and your hands wander across your nude body, groping yourself and rubbing the cola in. You find yourself shakily laughing, your heart pounding as the Ringmatron’s words pound in your ears. With her blessing you take some initiative and reach out towards the nearest clown above you, pulling them closer by the waistband and fishing out their bulge with one hand while the other reaches for their half-emptied bottle. You take a deep swig of the deep purple grape Faygo, then pop the tip of the troll’s bulge into your mouth to begin suckling eagerly. Perhaps it was something in the leader’s words but it just feels like the right thing to be doing here. It’s not long before many of the others join in, offering their drinks and their bulges in equal measure wherever they can fit them. 

The Ringmatron seems quite pleased so far - “Our righteous little sis here is all up and taking right kindly to the first of her baptisms, the sweetest taste of that wicked elixir rainin’ down around her.” you’re dimly aware of her calling out, “Now it’s time for that pure fuckin miraculous second wave - bring on the slime, my brothers and sisters!” Your nerves jump and a breath stutters in your bulge-occupied mouth in anticipation. Tins of pungent green ooze are passed around next for all to enjoy, some trolls opting for just a fingerful while others scoop out a whole handful. The Ringmatron herself steps in, lightly brushing away the clown you’d been fellating to take their place, those glowing eyes still filling your head with pure, giddy bliss. A pie in one hand, she gathers up a fingertip of the thick green paste and proffers it out to your lips. Obediently you lean forward and close your mouth around her digit, tasting that sharp, numbing szechuan-peppercorn rush in full for the first time. Your eyes flutter and roll back for a moment as a quiet moan escapes you, and she chuckles in satisfaction. There’s a zip from in front of you; the Ringmatron unclasps her pinstriped pants, fishing out... Oh god, it’s the biggest and most... enthralling bulge you’ve ever seen, the size of your arm almost and a deep, rich purple hue. Eyes locked to flickering eyes, she collects another dollop of sopor and swirls it slowly around the glans of her shaft, then glides all the way down to the fat grey balls that match her shaft’s enormity. She leers at you, expectant. 

With a reverence, you lean forward to take that heavy bulge between your lips, tongue running a lazy circle around and around her glans to sop up every bit of the addling, blissful green ooze. Every morsel of it that falls on your tongue seems to take you higher, and you giggle and laugh along with the others around you with your mouth full of cock. As you work your way down her miraculously delightfully massive bulge, the bulge-owners around you join in in a similar vein - little streaks of the green paste are smeared across your nipples, your perineum, even the rim of your pucker just to get fucked in deeper by the bulge re-invading you. A dollop even finds its way into the rim of your foreskin, worked up and down by a dutiful, soda-slicked hand. Everywhere it touches burns with bliss, and your cock and pucker both pulse with ecstasy... but you don’t quite get off. Something inside you feels like it has to wait and just ride out this wicked righteous high until the right time.  You just ride the tides of horny, giggly, increasingly-stoned trolls all around you and coast on the waves of the Ringmatron’s words, letting them fill you up. All this talk of miracles and mirth, elixirs and messiahs and dark carnivals, it’s... starting to grow on you. 

You’re teetering on the brink of orgasm but held back by the powerful woman above you’s presence for what feels like an eternity as she proselytizes to your kneeling, suckling form, your eyes reflecting the flickering Chucklevoodoo glow in her own as your gazes remain locked. Then finally she declares it’s time - “Time for the third of your Baptism Threefold, my sister! You drank the wicked elixir, felt the sweet rush of sopor, now - O brothers and sisters - join me in bringing our newest sister into the fold with the sweetest of anointments - a good healthy dose of our congregation’s geneslurry, fillin’ her up inside and out!” she cries above the din of celebration, and the cheers begin anew. You were already getting lazily fucked before, but now they pick back up with renewed vigor, bulges of every shape and size pistoning everywhere they can fit - two in your ass, one between your breasts, one in each hand and another under each arm, and of course that blessed massive bulge occupying your throat, all rutting away with renewed vigor. Your heart races - a surge of... worry and excitement and pride and dismay and a thousand other clashing feelings all mingling, yet slowly distilling down with more and more positive ones overwhelming the negative. You cry out - voice muffled - as bulges all around and within you begin to erupt in thick, cold spurts of viscous purple geneslime, flooding your rear from within and spattering all over your skin. You dare not break eye contact with the Ringmatron, but you can tell that all around you, clowns who can’t quite make it into the gathering are still stroking away with abandon, adding their geneslime to the mess. Last but not least, the Ringmatron seems to crest into orgasm with nary a change in her body language, just a constant, sweet-and-salty-and-musky flood covering your tongue and running down your throat, never seeming to pause for a volley or run out. She trails her fingertips through your hair as you nurse so reverently at her bulge, drinking deep of the blessed motherfuckin’ source. The more geneslime you drink - the more cascades across your bare body or floods into your bowels from the next troll in line, the more overwhelming bliss you feel - both in body and mind. It’s so easy to fall in with their line of thinking, to rejoice and be mirthful and capricious, to want to laugh and honk and fuck and honk some more. 

As you drink, your skin tingles with the mixed coating of various fluids, while a strange but pleasant chill seems to radiate into your core. Around the Ringmatron’s bulge, a rather rough noise escapes you - a muffled HNKK!, and your heart flutters again, this time with unadulterated excitement. You only just notice it, but at the very edges of your vision not occupied with your shepherd’s glowing eyes, the pale blonde locks of hair - matted with musk and soda - seem to be darkening one strand at a time. The bulges around and within you start to feel warmer and warmer as your final anointment continues - or perhaps it’s that you’re getting a little cooler with each fresh load. Your cock continues to throb fruitlessly, but the throbbing feels more and more powerful with each denied orgasm - you’d swear you can feel it bouncing up against your belly, then your chest with each twitch. The Ringmatron’s hands in your hair continue to stroke and grasp you to steady you, but the motions begin to feel just a little nicer when they pass and circle around certain spots. She cups your cheeks and deposits one more extra-thick dollop of seed right onto your tongue while she addresses you in a voice that is simultaneously barely above a whisper, and the only thing in the room you hear in that moment - “Go on, Sister. Go ahead and pail, join our little family.” 

With this new permission - this command - the grandest motherfuckin’ orgasm you ever did feel begins to flood through you. She releases you, letting you fall back as the bliss wracks your frame, and your eyes finally leave hers to look down at yourself while your release hits. You watch with rapturous interest as your cock twitches and erupts, the first pearly-white gush jetting forth right up into the air. Your amazement only grows more justified as each successive throbbing spurt jets out a bigger, thicker load; a bigger load from a bigger dick, each twitch of your racing pulse seeing your shaft growing bigger, longer, more outlandishly textured while a deep purple hue floods down from the tip. You wrap your hands around your own cock - bulge feels increasingly appropriate in your mind - and frantically jerk yourself off to milk out every drop you can. As you do, you’re dimly aware of your tanned skin draining of its hue and taking on a grey cast; of those sensitive points on your head erupting forth into what can only be a pair of high-arching horns; of your body growing a little thicker, a little plumper in all the right places. You let out a loud, triumphant sound that’s lost somewhere between a moan and a vast, guttural HONK that earns an uproarious round of applause and honks from all the clowns around you. You slump back in the ring beneath the Ringmatron, who looks down in earnest pride at you - her newest convert. She kneels down with a palette of grease paint, gingerly daubing a fresh clowny grin onto your features, and you beam with pride.

Your name is Rose Lalonde, and you’ve just wholeheartedly joined the ranks of the highblooded clown cult. What will you do now?

[edh-a-to-z]

Dominaria - Green

Looks like elves are coming back.

Good ol’ Magic elfball. Something needs to go toe-to-toe with the Gobs.

My Top 3 picks:

Multani - Commander (I know, not included in this post, but a reviews coming soon) that just keeps kicking, with relevant Reach and Trample

Song of Freyalise - Ramp. Ramp. Win

Verdant Force - A Reprint of an EDH fave

Adventurous Impulse

Grade: D

Home: Any green deck

Range: Very Wide

Draw is always nice, but these “check the top X cards” are usually less impactful in EDH. In a format where you can Diabolic Tutor on turn 1 (much less any other tutor), this feels less useful.

Ancient Animus

Grade: C+

Home: MonoGreen

Range: Narrow

Needs an interesting requirement, and feels like Pounce for legends. Fight at instant speed is pretty decent, but if you’re outside of mono green, there’s better removal

Abhor Armament

Grade: F

Home: Counters deck?

Range: Average

Most monogreen decks aren’t in desperate need of combat tricks granting reach, and the counter is only nominally useful.

Baloth Gorger

Grade: F 

Home: Ramp, Fatties

Range: Narrow

Vanilla creatures are lame. For about the same cost, Kavu Primarch gives you more options. Bottom line, there’s better kicker creatures, better 4 drops, and better fatties.

Broken Bond

Sorry Chandra, looks like your girlfriend left.

Grade: D+

Home: Any green deck, Ramp

Range: Narrow

Another cousin of Naturalize, trading Instant speed for Ramp. Nice that it doesn’t care what type of land, so it meshes well with cards like Kodama’s Reach that put lands into your hand.

Corrosive Ooze

Wait a minute, that’s not a Magic card!

Grade: D

Home: Anti Equipment, Anti Voltron

Range: Very Narrow

A bear that destroys the equipment of creatures it blocks or is blocked by. Not particularly powerful, but I was able to make a Hearthstone joke, so I like it.

Also, destroying the Equipment at the end of combat won’t save you from being completely killed by a Trampling Voltron commander, so it’s meh.

Elfhame Druid

Grade: C

Home: Kicker, Elf Tribal, Any Green deck

Range: Wide

Kicker has a lot of use in EDH, and having GG available makes many of them more attractive. The worst case of being a mana dork for 2 isn’t that bad especially in a tribal deck.

Fungal Plots

Grade: C

Home: Saproling Tribal, sac deck

Range: Narrow

I compare it to Night Soil, one of my Fave EDH cards. Unlike Soil, it costs more, it only goes after your ‘yard, only exiles one creature, but offers some utility to saprolings, like much needed draw.

Solid option to have in Saproling deck to give you more Sap sac options.

Gaea’s Blessing

Grade: D+, Reprint

Home: Recycling Decks, weak GY Hate, Anti-Mill

Range: Narrow

Weak GY hate is ok, self replacement is nice, and milling protection is nice. Sorc speed always stinks, but this in a weird niche card.

Gaea’s Protector

Grade: F

Home: N/A

Range: N/A

Effect not interesting or powerful enough for EDH. Especially at 4 mana.

Gift of Growth

Grade: D

Home: Combat Trix, Ramp

Range: Very Narrow

An odd spell. Green doesn’t get a lot of this untapping stuff as much as White. It can untap to make a blocker, or give quasi-vigilance to an attacker. Buffing, with multiple strength levels, is interesting.

It’s expensive, but neat.

Grow from the Ashes

Grade: C 

Home: Ramp Deck, Multicolor deck

Range: Wide

Explosive Vegetation with Kicker options.

There’s plenty of ramp in the CMC 2-4 that’s pretty solid, and I think kicker gives it some consideration, especially in ramping early and late. Solid card.

EDIT: (thanks @starkmaximum) I should also mention the benefit of the lands coming in untapped. Sure they’re basic, but fixing RIGHT THEN AND THERE is great.

Kamahl’s Druidic Vow

Grade: B-

Home: Ramp, MonoGreen, Big Mana Combo

Range: Average

If you got mana and a legendary (annoying hoops to jump through), you got toys.

I can’t wait to go infinite, play my whole deck, and Elixir of Immortality everything back. Boom, Board full of legends and lands. Gonna be great in the Captain Sisay deck (if you can buy her for 30!).

Remember that Genesis Wave is kinda a strictly better version than this (sure it costs G more, but doesn’t need a Legendary and hits any permanent), so get this as a budget option, not a power options.

Krosan Druid

Grade: D

Home: LG Deck

Range: Narrow

Most LG, especially one shot lifegain, isn’t useful in EDH. Incremental or repeatable lifegain is usually the name of the game.

While 8 mana to kick a 2/3 and gain 10 life is fair, it’s just okay. At that point I’d rather play Archangel’s Light or Congregate-look alikes.

 Llanowar Elves

Grade: Reprint

Home: Every elf and green deck in existence

Range: Very Wide

The source of strength for many an elf deck, I’m mostly interesting in the sweet new art, plus awesome FNM cards.

Llanowar Envoy

Grade: C-

Home: Multicolor Infinite mana combo

Range: Very Narrow

Straight up Mana Filter when you go Green infinite mana, as well as mana fixing in multicolored decks.

Body’s decent enough but nothing to write home about

Llanowar Scout

Grade: D

Home: Ramp, Elf Tribal

Range: Average

Compare with Budoka Gardener and Sakura-Tribe Scout for similar effects, with Budoka as the most powerful. Solid ramp option, and a good reason to keep a handful of lands.

Mammoth Spider

Grade: F

Range: N/A

Decent limited fodder, trash for EDH.

The Mending of Dominaria

Grade: C

Home: Land Sac deck

Range: Narrow

Plays well with Titania, Gitrog, most land heavy commanders. You can even Zuran Orb your board if you time it right, and get a ton of life.

Nature’s Spiral

Grade: D-, Reprint

Home: Any Green Deck

Range: Very Wide

Not really the best EDH card. It ends up in the first draft in a lot of my decks, but usually gets cut. Mostly because Reclaim exists.

Pierce the Sky

Grade: F

Home: N/A

Range: N/A

Bog standard anti flying. Sure, you’ll get to use it, but bring something better, like Beast Within. 

Primordial Wurm

Grade: F

Home: N/A

Range: N/A

Bog standard fatty. There’s better

Saproling Migration

Grade: C

Home: Saproling Tribal, Token decks

Range: Narrow

Solid Servo Exhibition, in green with upside. Kicker gives it some nice utility. Me gusta.

Song of Freyalise

Grade: B

Home: Ramp Deck, Fatty decks, Any Green Deck, Go Wide

Range: WIde

Ramp. Ramp. Smash.

An ult that lets you smash with no consequences is amazing. Mana fixing early game is great

Spore Swarm

Grade: C-

Home: Token Decks, Saproling Tribal

Range: Average

Useful for token decks. Captain’s Call for Saprolings. Slightly nicer while it’s at Instant speed.

Sporecrown Thallid

Grade: B+

Home: Fungus/Saproling Tribal

Range: Very Narrow

A lord at 2 CMC? Wow!

In the Fungus/Saproling deck, it’s amazing. Elsewhere, it’s usually a strictly better bear, so it’s bog awful there.

Steel Leaf Champion

Grade: C+

Home: Mono Green decks, Elf tribal

Range: Narrow

The last of the CCC cycle, a beefy elf with the Daunt power.

It’s a great reward for playing the color, much like a better Woolly Thoctar. 

Sylvan Awakening

Grade: C+

Home: Lands, Untap deck

Range: Average

Any deck with enough lands can run this well. Get an army of 8-12 lands, attack without worrying.

Untappers like Awakening give you an army of Reach Indestructible creatures on the defense. Combos well with Armageddon, if you’re the mood for destruction.

Territorial Allosaurus

Grade: C

Home: Dino Tribal

Range: Very Narrow

Only dino tribal actually wants this, and barely at that. It’s costed aggressively, and kicker is a nice option, so it’s nice removal for 7. It can usually trade without dying, but there’ll be some times when the kicker won’t help, so play after combat I guess.

Thorn Elemental

Grade: D-, Reprint

Home: Fatty Deck, Any Green Deck

Range: Very Wide

Power creep hit this elemental hard.

Bog standard hitter fatty. Does decent work as a super trampler, but there’s better options at this CMC.

Untamed Kavu

Grade: C-

Home: Any Green Deck, Ramp, Counters

Range: Very Wide

Unlike many common and uncommon Kicker cards, this one is good with and without kicker. 

A french vanilla bear is nice, and makes a good early game card, and the 5 drop with 5/5 and the same abilities is pretty solid. Plus some deck likes counters, so that’s good.

Never your first choice for any deck, but decent to fill out a curve, and good for the first or second draft of a deck. I’ll bet it’ll be in a Commander pre-con.

Verdant Force

Grade: B, Reprint

Home: Any Green Deck, Go Wide Deck, Ramp deck

Range: Wide

The original solid EDH card. This card came out over 20 years ago, and it’s still racking up kills in EDH.

One of the best scaling Fatties that can sorta take over a game (but not really in EDH, cuz no player should be over run by Saprolings)

And side note, hey it’s the first new art!

Wild Onslaught

Grade: D?

Home: Counter deck?

Range: ???

Not sure where I can really use this. Most counters are, in my opinion, are better suited to being put on one creature.

Yavimaya Shepard

Grade: D-

Home: Fungus/Saproling tribal decks, Go Wide

Range: Narrow

3 mana for 3/3 of stats is not interesting, even for Sap/Fungus decks. Leave it in the box.

Exploration: Giacomo (P#0006)

As you travel, you see another person on the road. He is tethered to a small cart that is overloaded with a hodgepodge of items. He is dressed in a very garish manner, having a broad, multicolored hat, brocaded coat and large, striped pantaloons. His appearance is almost comical and contrasts with his severe and hawkish facial features. The man sees you, smiles and stops his cart.

“Greetings, traveler! My name is Giacomo. I am, as you can see, a humble purveyor of items, curios and other accoutrements. While I am not in a position to show you my full wares as my shop is packed on this push-cart, I do offer some small trinkets for travelers I meet.”

The merchant looks at you sharply and cracks a wide, toothy smile you find... unnerving. The merchant twists his way around to access a sack he has around his back. After a moment, he swings the sack from his back to have better access to its contents. Inquisitively, the merchant turns back to you. “So stranger, be you interested in some drafts to aid you in your travels, some quick pamphlets to warn you of dangers on journeys or...”

Giacomo pauses and turns his head in both directions in a mocking gesture of paranoid observation. His little bit of theatrics does make you wonder what he is about to offer. “...maybe you would be interested in some items that enhance the pleasures of the flesh? Hmmm?”

Giacomo’s grin is nothing short of creepy as he offers his wares to you. What are you interested in?

Potions - Books - Erotica

Potions.

... Which potion or tincture will you examine?

Vitality Tincture: This potent tea is supposedly good for strengthening the body!

Increases strength at the slight loss of intelligence.

Giacomo holds up the item and says, “Ah, yes! The quintessential elixir for all travelers, this little bottle of distilled livelihood will aid you in restoring your energy on your journey and, should you be hurt or injured, will aid the body’s ability to heal itself. Yes sir, this is liquid gold for pilgrim and adventurer alike. Interested? It is 15 gems.”

Scholar’s Tincture: This powerful brew supposedly has mind strengthening effects!

Increases Intelligence at the slight loss of strength and muscle tone.

Giacomo holds up a pouch of dried, fragrant leaves and begins his spiel, “Have you ever wondered how scholars and other smart folk keep up such a mental effort for so long? They make a tea out of this fine mixture of quality plants and herbs. Nothing but the best, this mysterious mixture of herbs in its Orange Pekoe base makes anyone, short of a lummox, as brainy as the finest minds of the land. All you do is steep the leaves in some water and drink up! Hot or cold, straight or sweetened with honey, your mind will run circles around itself once it has this for fuel. Buy it now and I will throw in the strainer for free! Interested? Only 15 gems!”

Cerulean Potion: This is a mysterious bottle filled with sky-blue liquid that sloshes gently inside. Supposedly it will make you irresistible. To whom, and to what, you cannot 

Consumable item.

If male or herm, consuming this potion triggers a special encounter the next time you sleep for the night. When you have this encounter, you will receive a replacement potion. The special encounter randomly increases a number of statistics, except for Corruption, which is always increased.

If genderless, consuming this potion triggers a special encounter the next time you sleep for the night. This is a comedic encounter that breaks the "fourth wall" between the in-game setting and the creators and players. This item will not work for a genderless character a second time.

If Champion becomes female after purchasing, this item will no longer work, although any pending encounters will occur if the Champion goes to sleep as a different gender.

Taking multiple doses before sleeping will result in visits for that number of nights, maximum three in the "queue" ("tonight" and the two nights following). Additional doses before sleeping have no effect.

Using this potion too many times results in a Bad End. Only a dose taken after waking and the next night can trigger the Bad End, and the queue will be cleared of additional doses to enforce this.

Giacomo makes his comical over-the-shoulder search and holds up a sky-blue bottle. He grins widely as he begins his pitch, “My friend, you truly have a discerning eye. Even the most successful of men seek to attract more women for pleasure and status. This, my friend, will attract the most discerning and aroused of women. Women attracted by this fine unction will NEVER say no. I GUARANTEE that she will want pleasure every time you demand pleasure! A bit of a caution to you, brother. Some say this works TOO well. If you aren’t man enough to handle the women this urn draws to you, you’d best say so now and I will offer something more to your liking. However, if you have the heart for it, I can sell you this little gem for 75 gems!”

Books.

...Which book are you interested in perusing?

Dangerous Plants: This is a book titled ‘Dangerous Plants’. As explained by the title, this tome provides information on all manner of dangerous plants within this realm.

A Must have for all new players. This gives an in game opportunity to avoid encounters with tentacle beasts, and mysterious plant ladies in the future!

Giacomo proudly holds up a small text. The cover is plain and unadorned with artwork. “According to the scholars,” Giacomo begins, “knowledge is power. It is one of the few things that scholars say that I agree with. You cannot survive in today’s world without knowing something of it. Beasts and men are not your only problems. This book specializes in the dangerous plants of the realm. There exists flora the likes of which will chew you up and spit you out faster than any pack of wolves or gang of thieves. For the small price of 10 gems, you can benefit from this fine book on the nastiest blossoms in existence. Care to broaden your learning?”

Traveler’s Guide: This ‘Traveler’s Guide’ is more a pamphlet then a book, but it still provides some useful information on avoiding the local pitfalls.

This book allows the player an in game opportunity to avoid a dangerous Sand Trap, found in The Desert, that will pull you in an impregnate you. Additionally, this book can be given to a certain albino lizard to advance your relationship.

Giacomo holds up a humble pamphlet. “While you may not find value in this as a seasoned traveler,”, Giacomo opens, “you never know what you may learn from this handy, dandy information packet! Geared to the novice, this piece of work emphasizes the necessary items and some good rules of thumb for going out into the world. You may not need it, but you may know someone who does. Why waste your time when the answers could be in this handy pamphlet! I will offer the super-cheap price of 1 gem!”

Hentai Comic: This oddly drawn comic book is filled with images of fornication, sex, and overly large eyeballs.

May be given to the Incubus Mechanic to avoid a fight, or used while masturbating.

Erotica. (limited current knowledge.)

...Giacomo’s grin is nothing short of creepy as he offers his wares to you. What are you interested in?

Dildo.

Useful during masturbation. Applies for all items

Giacomo takes out a slender tube roughly over half a foot in length. “Since you seek pleasure, this is as simple and effective as it gets. This dildo is a healthy seven inches long and is suitable for most women and even adventurous men. Pick a hole, stick it in and work it to your heart’s content or your partner’s pleasure. The single-piece construction makes it solid, sturdy and straightforward. For 20 gems, you can take matters into your own hands. How about it?”

Plain Onahole. Not available to females. Costs 20 gems.

Giacomo takes out a pink cylinder from his bag. It appears to be sealed at one end and the cap is topped with a piece of rubber that has a vertical slit. “Friend,” Giacomo starts, “when you do not want to go through all of the shit to bag a woman, this is the thing for you. It never says no, it never bitches and it never takes everything you own in a divorce. All you do is get hard, slip your cock in the slit, work it at your pace and unload. Simple is as simple does. Take the top off for easy clean up and there you go! As you can see it is portable and is much safer than risking some social disease from an errant barmaid. I have plenty of these in stock and I can let it go for 20 gems. What say you?”

Deluxe Onahole. Not available to females or genderless. Costs 50 gems.

Giacomo holds up a weirdly shaped lump of rubber. One end is shaped and contoured like a woman’s genitalia while the rest stretches out to almost a foot long. “This thing right here is excellent! While a standard onahole will get you off, this has the look and feel of the real thing! As you can see, the outside orifice looks just like a woman’s privates and,” Giacomo pauses to open the inside for you to view. You see the inner folds and curves that are typical to the inside of a woman’s womb, “as you can see, great care has been taken to make the inside feel as much like a real pussy as possible. You hammer your cock with this thing a few times and you may never want the real thing again! If nothing else, it won’t whine about you running out the door first thing in the morning. 50 gems is more than reasonable for all of the satisfaction this will bring.”

All-Natural Onahole. Only available to hermaphrodites. Costs 150 gems.

Self-Stimulation Belt. Not available to males. Costs 30 gems.

All-Natural Self-Stimulation Belt. Not available to males or genderless. Costs 40 gems.

Dual Belt. Only available to hermaphrodites. Costs 50 gems.

In the Service of the Princess

Author’s Note: Guess what I’ve been worshipping playing for the past month. Heavy spoilers ahead

Series: Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

Pairing: Zelda/Link

Length: 1550 words

Rating: Safe

Her Appointed Knight.

That’s what her father called him. What he was assigned to, with virtually little to no say in the matter from her. Zelda didn’t ask to be defended. Nor did she want to be a bystander; considered a vulnerable liability in a war.

And now she had a living reminder of that, following her around at every turn.

Goddess Hylia must have had a cruel sense of humor. Her father as well. He considers this boy to be the royal knight who was destined to seal the darkness plaguing their lands? He was hardly her age, much less her height. One of few words, that much she was thankful. Zelda could hardly stomach the idea of him boasting of his status, his knightdom handpicked by the king of Hyrule himself and (to her dismay) blessed by her.

That was Revali’s job, after all.

This Link was surely going to be the bigger grievance than Calamity Ganon at this point.

--

The knight was persistent, she’ll give him that.

She knew her father didn’t take too kindly to her inquisitive nature. That must have been part of the reason why he assigned the knight to her side; to discourage her from conducting her research. That didn’t stop the princess, not while a threat was looming right at their doorstep.

Zelda was resourceful. Many a time, she’d given him the slip, off to Purah’s lab to continue their research of the Sheikah technology. Discovering the mysteries of the Sheikah Slate, learning more of the robots and such, it made her giddy as a child. She’d excitedly arrive at the lab...

...Only to find him. Having tea with the 6-year-old Sheikah, no less.

He said nothing, allowing his “innocent” smile and ignorant casualness to speak for him. She must have been getting predictable.

Zelda was starting to think that her father was torturing her.

--

Li-...The Knight was no slouch in combat.

For one who lacked in size, he made up for in skill. Zelda watched as the boy overpowered two of the castle’s royal guard. For a sparring match, neither of the two were able to make a scratch. Zelda couldn’t tell if this was saying something for the castle’s guards as a whole. She watched as the boy wielded that sword with deadly accuracy. He was going easy on them.

Zelda scolded herself for concerning herself with the boy. He was her knight and nothing less.

--

Zelda didn’t expect him to be so...compliant with her research.

Since the boy had persisted in accompanying her wherever she went, Zelda decided to make the most out of it, testing some of her more...outlandish theories.

She expected him to decline, better yet, leave her to her own devices but the knight surprised her. Wordlessly as always, he’d sit with her and listen to her prattle on about the properties of monster parts and the sciences of wild animals. She even somehow got him to taste a frog of all things!

Yet, Zelda felt...something, a feeling inexplicable even to her, when he remained with her

--

Another lecture from Father about “The duties of the Princess”.

Had it never occurred to him that finding ways to improve the castle’s guards was something that should be considered one of her duties? Why was she the only one who saw the importance in using Elixirs? Now she was down another book on recipes.

Her knight stopped by her room, no doubt sent by the King to ensure that she sulks in safety. Though he seemed to be grinning wider than usual. It took Zelda a moment before she realized that the boy had indeed had a present for her.

Zelda couldn’t believe her eyes as he’d brought her the very same book. Did he sneak past the Sheikah guards just to get it? He offered her the book with a smile, watching her face light up. Zelda hatched an idea. She sat the boy down next to her, moving to the shelves and cupboards of her room to reveal an assortment of glasses with multicolored liquids. Zelda excitedly swiped the book from his hands.

“Now then, Knig-er...Link, elixirs have the potential to turn the tide in any battle. Here’s what you should know…”

--

“Clock’s ticking, princess.”

“Yes, I know. These divine beasts are proving to be much harder to control than I-”

Urbosa chuckled, leaving Zelda to gaze at her in confusion. “Not what I meant, Zel.” From their perch atop Naboris, the Gerudo warrior pointed at the tiny speck of a warrior just below them, traversing the desert sands in nonchalance.

Zelda knew exactly what Urbosa was alluding to but she stubbornly feigned ignorance.

She shot her a knowing smile. “I see you’ve started warming up to him.”

“Well…” she stuttered, looking away from Urbosa who saw straight through her. “He’s...proven himself.”

“Mhmm?” the Gerudo rested her head on her arm. She decided not to comment on the fact that Zelda was now blatantly staring at Link.

The princess crossed her arms. “I-I don’t know what you could possibly be referring to.”

Urbosa’s smile grew wider. “Take it from a Gerudo. With a prize like that, I wouldn’t wait around.” she didn’t wait for the princess to respond, giving her a sly wink and leaving Zelda to her intrusive thoughts.

She was a princess! She had no time to spend on such frivolities as courtship! Not while a great evil was just at their doorstep. Besides, Link of all people? That seemed incredulous at best. He probably wouldn’t feel the same way.

Would he?

--

Zelda shuddered.

She was unsure if that was due to anticipation or anxiety. All of her hopes, prayers, and studies lead to this singular moment.

The path she stood before them lead up to Mount Lanayru. The Spring of Wisdom, Zelda’s last chance of awakening her true potential, was waiting for her. Today was the day of her awakening, yet…

She couldn’t move.

Her body tensed, hearing the disapproving voice of her father, the whispers of the knights and residents from the castle, all those who told her that her motivations were naught but a fantasy. Her legs refused to move and her stomach churned.

However, one force managed to repel those fears.

The reassuring touch of her knight dissipated all of Zelda’s worries. One look towards Link’s smile and Zelda no longer felt alone.

“I’m alright,” she said, returning his smile, “I think I’m ready now.”

Link nodded as they began their trek up the mountain.

--

The rain was heavy.

The smell of fire and ash burned her lungs.

Her eyes were momentarily blinded by crimson before hearing the beeping targeting system native to the Guardians. Zelda watched in horror as Link, weakened and injured was caught in its sights.

Link, who devoted himself to her well-being, even when she pushed him away.

Link, who willfully allowed himself to be a guinea pig for her outlandish experiments.

Link, who stood by her through her best and her worst.

Zelda didn’t hesitate. She was not about to lose him.

Not like this.

In moments, all she saw was white, a glowing symbol formed at the back of her palm and all the autonomous threats were destroyed.

Zelda could hear Link behind her, groaning weakly before collapsing. She turned to him, mortified as he writhed in pain. She ran to his side, assuring him that he was going to be fine. She didn’t know if she was trying to convince him or herself.

They had all come so far. They had prepared for all of this. How did it all go wrong?

How?

--

He was her knight.

The one to bring peace to Hyrule.

Zelda would be damned if she was about to let him slip through her fingers.

The other heroes were out there, using their divine beasts to push back Ganon’s corruption. That was all they can do and it was all they needed to do. To delay Ganon’s evil, buy Link more time and ensure that he recovers.

Zelda needed to see him. Just one last time.

He was asleep in his pod, his wounds deep but healing, ever so slowly. He looked...peaceful. The last she seen of him, Link was battered and beaten, trying to speak but his injuries getting the better of him, slipping into unconsciousness. The nightmarish memory was still fresh in her mind. Tears streamed from her face.

It wasn’t supposed to happen like this.

All the preparation, all the training, and for what? Their weapons turned on them, her castle was now the enemy’s fortress and the hero that was meant to end it all was defeated.

No.

Not defeated.

Not yet.

Zelda looked to her right hand, still glowing with the symbol of the Triforce, the power she used to give the kingdom one last chance, to give him one last chance. She knew what had to be done.

One last look to her knight. Her hand brushed along his warm face.

Wait for me, Link.

Things Bear In Mind When Physical Training Led Lights

Everyone's searching for the elixir of youth. We're in identical shoes you wear boat together with us, it for bulbs. One of the greatest strengths of LED lighting and consequently, a huge source of savings is from the longevity of the LED bulb. If the average American lives to 80 and that's our incandescent bulb, the LED equivalent person would live to about 800. This incredible bulb lifespan is really a function of how LED's manufactured and try as they might, the new hyped versions of incandescents and CFL's are not going to get close for easy and intrinsic reasons. Let us take a the what you will probably have but first, why quit last extra?

One concern for CFL's is correct disposal of parents. CFL's, like other florescent light bulbs contain small amounts of mercury, which is one area you ought not throw away with the garbage. If and a new CFL is prepared to be replaced, contact your local waster management agency to discover the best way to recycle your bulb.led grow lights 

For larger areas, Solar Illuminations allows the "Pulsar" which contains 104 led bulb on a 50 foot string. Colors available are generally white or multicolor. Here's the specs; the Pulsar is priced at $59.99.

A conventional street mild has a reflector powering the bulb which often brings in major lack of lights. It effects in mild one more. The glare created by like lights is also not secure for the drivers. The LED ones usually have a lens along the LED panel, which not only prevents the reduction of lights furthermore provides them a properly-defined rectangular route. They do not develop any glare as well.trade in service 

LEDs are even more energy efficient than CFLs and however dramatically more efficient at producing light than incandescent designs. A typical you can get today LED produces about 30-35 lumens of sunshine per w. Compare that to 12-15 lumens per watt for a incandescent light bulb. LEDs are under development any user produce to a maximum of 131 lumens per watt. Now that is big gain in efficiency of light production.

If you insert the actual number of batteries inside the Stanley 95-112, it can produce light for approximately 200 loads. You also terribly lack to concerns about running away from battery power unexpectedly. The flashlight is suited with a signal light to allow you know when power is running low.

I am happy I made the switch to LED light bulbs. While it was expensive, I plan on swapping the four smaller bulbs in my ceiling fan soon. I encourage everyone to seriously consider making the move from incandescent to LED. Your own personal seem sort of a huge deal, but you'll really be saving yourself money nicely hastle down the road.

How to Connect to Our Higher Consciousness with a Pendulum

We all have the ability to access our intuitive capacities by using a pendulum. Learning to use a pendulum is like learning any other skill. It requires time, determination, trust, balance and persistent practice.

Given these, success can be expected. Every object, animate or inanimate, gives off energetic radiation, and our expanded senses can feel and measure these energies.

The intuitive, or super-conscious mind is the recipient of this information when we access the bridge to it.

The pendulum is only a communication device between the conscious and the subconscious mind. The pendulum itself does not gives you answers.

It is nothing more than an object to give you the means or language to make conscious the Intuition. Successful use of a pendulum is a matter of establishing a clear, precise and consistent language between the two parts of the mind.

The subconscious mind takes all communications literally. It takes time for the subconscious to understand what is expected of it and respond accordingly.

It is necessary to approach the pendulum with enthusiasm, optimism and the confidence that you are able to use it. It is an incredible skill that can allow you access to information, knowledge and wisdom beyond all limitations.

How the Pendulum Works

The pendulum can be thought of as an extension of the intuition, since it is used to gain access to information that exists at the subconscious level of the Inner Being. It could be said that it strengthens or amplifies the intuition because it converts the subtleties of the intuition into a more obvious form of physical motion.

When you ask a question of the pendulum, it is your own intuition that answers it. The pendulum merely allows you to physically see what the intuition already knows.

As an extension of the intuition, the pendulum can give you information from the same two sources as the intuition: from your own subconscious mind; and from your guidance, spirit, or guardian angel. Because of how it operates, the pendulum can only answer questions that are phrased so that the answer is either “yes” or “no”.

Connecting to Your Higher Self

Limited views and opinions are stifling. They detach us from reality, decrease our awareness and shut down our mind. We all have a limited view of some areas of our lives. Gaining a broader perspective is self awareness.

Being able to open up your mind, allowing a free flow of thoughts and ideas can be liberating. Welcoming a new opinion or way of doing something can bring new meaning to your life.

If you give up your closed thoughts and make way for a different opinion, you may be surprised at the outcome.

Striving to meet difficult goals has pushed us to stretch the horizons of what we think is possible.

We share the ways in which obstacles and challenges have made us stronger, and given us confidence to continue setting goals and dreams in our adventures, our business, and in our day to day lives. This is conscious living.

You only want to work with your Higher Self. Any of your guides, spirits and angels can go through your Higher Self. Start by speaking to your spirits either aloud of in your head.

Tuning in to any energy is the ability to quiet the mind, allowing your inner self, or intuition, to perceive truth. By practicing this art, we develop a sensitivity toward inner information and the ability to condition our mind to listen on a much more subtle level. This developing can give us the ability to sense energy and actually perceive on an even more subconscious plane.

Universal Symbols of Shape and Color

The following shapes and colors have a Universal meaning, yet in almost every religion, culture and part of the world, they have their own specific meaning to go along side these definitions.

These shapes are Universally recognized and play a part of our subconscious mind in one way or another. The colors represent one general idealism; yet can represent something entirely different if used in a different context.

Circle (ball): An ancient and universal symbol of unity, wholeness, infinity, the goddess, and female power. A romantic attachment or deep friendship and a sacred space. The circle symbolizes the sacred and spiritual including the “sacred” earth. See pendulums in ths category.

Diamond (faceted): Because of its perfect symmetry, the diamond vibrates toward harmony. This makes it an excellent shape for meditation gardens or those used for culinary purposes. As this shape also vibrates toward the solidity of Earth, it’s a good bet for magical gardens involving prosperity and abundance, and issues of the family, home, and hearth. See pendulums in ths category.

Heart: generally, hearts represent love, but may also indicate a romantic disposition. True love, happiness, financial gain, lasting love, and love for other.

Hexagon: is a polygon with six edges and six vertices. The word hexagon is derived from the Latin hexagnum, from Greek hexagnos, having six angles. This hexagonal star is faceted and carved from natural crystal.

Use it for balancing Chakras, laying on problem areas, creating a crystal grid, to amplify the power of your other stones, power up your positive affirmations. Place this star in any room where you want to create a balanced, healthy environment. See pendulums in ths category.

Octagon: Eight denotes the intermediary region between earth and heaven or, microcosm, between body and spirit; and the octagon is a symbol of the “best” part of psychic substance that is the vehicle of spiritual light. The octagon expresses the nearness to heaven of the psychic elements in question, and by being almost circular in form it expresses their all but spiritual nature.

Oval: This voluptuous and feminine shape not only represents completeness, but is also a symbol of the infinite. It conjures up the idea of wisdom and the power of longevity and for all eternity. See pendulums in ths category.

Rectangle: The rectangle symbolizes the female form. Intelligence; Protector; Divine contemplation. The rectangle also symbolizes the equilibration of the fourfold forces.

Square: The square represents the physical world. Like the quartered circle, it points pagans to the four compass directions: north, east, south and west.

Star (merkaba): are drawn by ambitious people and may suggest a desire for self-promotion. Little stars indicate optimism, while asymmetrical stars suggest excess energy. A sign of hope, love, joy and prosperity, protection against fires, good fortune, hope, love, fertility, energy and harmony.

The unique qualities of the star (merkaba) are the divine light vehicle used by ascended masters to connect with those in tune with the higher realms. “Mer” means Light. “Ka” means Spirit. “Ba” means Body. Mer-Ka-Ba means the spirit/body surrounded by counter-rotating fields of light, (wheels within wheels), spirals of energy as in DNA, which transports spirit/body from one dimension to another. See pendulums in ths category.

Triangle (pyramid): Associated with the number three. Pointing upwards, it symbolizes fire, male power, good luck; Pointing down, it symbolizes water, female sexuality, goddess, religions, take care.

Combination Ball and Triangle: energy point with ball adds both the element of a point, which vibrates toward harmony and the Universal symbol of unity. This makes it an excellent shape for meditation gardens or those used for culinary purposes.

As this shape also vibrates toward the solidity of Earth. The ball or circle is an ancient and universal symbol of unity, wholeness, infinity, the goddess, and female power. See pendulums in ths category.

Pendulum Colors and Their Connections

Red – grounding emotions, passion, charisma, lust and also the creative spark.

Orange – sexual fire, abundance in career, projects and matters needing an added push.

Yellow – the color of power, health in body and mind, love of man and the sun, connection to the God form.

Green – growth, fertility, success in things and ideas that grow hope.

Blue – protection, peace, calmness and spirituality.

Indigo – richness of meditation, twilight, deep emotions, seriousness and contemplation.

Violet – the highest Universal power and those things that are sacred.

White – purity, power of the moon, allows energy to flow freely, faith.

Black – protection, also used to blend or bind elements together.

Multicolor – represents the rainbow colors most associated with the full rainbow spectrum and is most related to the Chakra centers and Aura field.

The Care and Use of Your Pendulum

1. If you are drawn to a particular pendulum, it has probably already chosen you.

2. Cleanse your pendulum by running it under lukewarm water or do a smudging with sage.

3. You can charge your pendulum with energy by placing it on a crystal cluster, in a bowl with hematite or with quartz.

Harness the Pure Power of Crystal Energy in Your Water

Soji Crystal Water Bottles contain pure natural crystals. These beautiful stones when combined with water produce an elixir that encourages rejuvenation & clarification of both the body and mind. Introduce purification and positivity into your everyday routine with Soji.

Since ancient times, crystals elixirs have been used for their powerful energetic healing properties. Crystals can help heal deep-seated issues, bringing forth good health and greater happiness. Each crystal has its own unique healing properties — some are best suited for abundance and prosperity, while others are better for love, relationships and harmony, or even protection and shielding.

Soji crystal water bottles are safe, non-toxic, and highly effective. We believe in the beauty and power of natural things, and we believe in the power of nature to bring these results.

Crystal elixirs go by many names: gem waters, gem elixirs, gem tonics, gem essences, crystal waters, crystal essences, crystal tonics, and more. These terms are used interchangeably and all mean the same thing, “Crystal Infused Water.”

Crystal elixirs are produced by adding crystals to water in order to revitalize it. Water has its own consciousness and memory, so when you add crystal into water that is pure, it transfers the energy of that crystal. The term elixir was derived from the Arabic word “al iksic” meaning “miracle substance.”

Alternative healers have created crystal elixirs from their homes for centuries, and you can also trace elixir use in ancient Chinese and Greek texts that were used to cure certain ailments. Crystal elixirs have remained a mystery for this long because there is no easy or portable means of making them.

A SOJI bottle is the modern version of a crystal elixir which is .

The Sims 3: Apocalypse Challenge (STORY AND STATS).

This is not my challenge. All of this info can be found in: http://ts3ac.wikispaces.com/The%20Sims%203%20Apocalypse%20Challenge

The Story

For weeks, the powers that be in Twinbrook tried to cover up what the city's sewer system had done to the swamp. The original and very corrupt city planners, trying to cut corners and redirect funds into their own pockets, had skimped on building a proper water reclamation plant and just diverted all sewage to drain into the swamp. Over the years, sims taking baths and washing dishes resulted in massive amounts of soap being dumped into this delicate ecosystem. The ground and water became saturated with it. Ecological disaster that this was all on its own, it exacerbated the natural processes brewing under the wetlands. All the composting debris of raw sewage, old foliage and fish from the distant past caused an excess of methane and other volatile swamp gasses to accumulate right under all this pollution.

This would have not been a problem except for the soap residue that saturated the area making it impossible for this miasma of toxins to dissipate gradually into the atmosphere. One day, these gases broke to the surface in an immense bubble. Like all bubbles, once it got too big, it burst in a violent eruption. The concussive shock that was generated destroyed the nuclear power plants in the region, causing a cascading melt down that leaked tons of radiation into the countryside. This conflagration destroyed the entire region, sending Similization as we know it back to the dark ages and leaving the ground scorched and barren. Nearly all life for thousands of miles was wiped out.

You have been lucky. You managed to escape the cataclysm because you were out of the region at the time. When you returned home, the Green Cross at the airport suggested you make your way to the nearest area where relief efforts were underway if you wanted to return to what was once your home. You don't know how you managed it, but you wandered until you found this sheltered, if desolate place, where civilization in the region can rebuild itself. If you are strong enough, if you are committed enough, you can lead the efforts. You and your family ...

Father founder: Richard E. Chastermen. 

Advantages and Handcaps.:

Get Off My Lawn (10 point handicap): 

The founder begins as an Adult rather than a Young Adult.

Occult Type.:  Witch(er).

Incompatible with Werewolfs, Genies, Vampire, or Faries and Anagathic Supply.

Blood Purity (10 point handicap).

You may marry or breed only with occults that match the type of your founder.

None of your playable Sims may Turn mundane humans in order to meet this handicap (non-playable Sims may, of course - you can't control that).

Likewise, you may not use Elixirs to transform your desired mate, or otherwise alter the occult type of your desired mate. If you marry a spouse that is already an Adult, you must immediately use birthday cake to age them to Elder.

Throw Party interaction will show you which of your acquaintances are Adults or Young Adults, though you must cancel without actually throwing the party until you have unlocked the ability to do this.

Requires either Vampires, Genies, Witches, Werewolfs, or Faries. (But we will be using a Witcher).

Bewitched: (Requires Supernatural EP, -5 point advantage) WITCHES

Your founder and all heirs must be Witches. Lifespans are set to 22 days Young Adult, 23 days Adult, 15 days Elder.

Rite of Passage: (5 point handicap)

In order to prove their worthiness as heir, before your sim can marry they must have made at least 4 good friends not including their future spouse. Not compatible with It's Hopeless

Trust No One: (5 point handicap)

Only good friends and romantic interests can be invited over to your home lot. 

Only best friends and steady partners can ever be let in your house.

This restriction cannot be lifted.

Ranked chess opponents are an exception to this, but you must play outside and have to send them away immediately after if you don't know them well enough.

Ungrateful Life: (15 point handicap)

You may not buy any lifetime rewards at all, ever.

Doesn't apply to Forty Thieves and their Dusty Old Lamps.

Doesn't apply to The Siren's Call and Mermadic Kelp for the founder.

Heavily Guarded: (-5 points advantage)

The local militia is very vigilant, providing longer safe hours for being outside. 

Your sims can stay outside 2 hours longer than usual.

Adults from 6AM to 9PM

Teens 8AM to 5PM

Zombie Days you must be inside between 10PM and 6AM

The Eyes Have It: (5 point handicap)

All heirs must have the same eye color as the founder. It should be unique in your world and not used by premade townies.

You may substitute hair or skin color, but you must chose which will be identifying physical trait to pass down before you start the challenge.

When creating your founder make sure to use a distinct color such as yellow eyes, purple skin or blue hair to make it easy to identify.

Skin color may be difficult as they may 'blend'. It is good to use a skin color you can easily recognize in any shade possible (like the multicolored "berry" skin, other oddly colored skins or a custom skin you can easily tell apart).

Incompatible with Green Revolution.

Please, note that it is the actual skin type that needs to be inherited, not the exact color. If you choose a multicolored skin, it doesn't matter if the heir is blue, green or yellow. Everything counts as long as it is a part of the multicolored skin your founder is using.

You will define your sims Network at the beginning of the challenge. Your Network will be the only lots you can visit until Military restrictions are lifted. It shall be comprised of the following lots:

3 neighbors ( Moonlight Falls , Twinbrook & Bridgeport .)

1 Rabbit hole (City Hall)

1 Big park (you may NOT choose Festival Grounds or the Performance Park as your big park)

1 Non-park Community lot. ( Beach )

Choose Your Apocalypse Lot

Choose the largest, empty, residential lot between 40x40 and 64x64 in size that is available in your world.

If you have trouble with lag, you may take the largest lot size that doesn't bog your game down.

If you took Cramped Much? handicap, place down (or choose premade) 10x10 lot to start with.

Once you plant your founder on your lot, you may not move them to any other lot in the neighborhood.

64x64 lots already cost $8192 Simoleons, leaving you with $8308 simoleons.

If you choose a smaller lot, you must reduce your sims available funds immediately to $8308 simoleons

You can use the testingcheatsenabled true then familyfunds <familyname> 8308 cheats to do this easily.

Alternately, you may determine how much you need to reduce your family funds by, and then purchase goods from the buy menu until you only have $8308 simoleons left. Put these goods into your family inventory box in buy mode and never touch them again.

For anyone wanting to start your Tournament Founder on a pre-made lot w/house already built you do NOT get $8,308 as your leftover money after you buy. You will need to buy your house and then do this equation: 8308 - (lot w/house price - lot size price) = how much money you have left for books and other building/buying. EXAMPLE: I buy a pre-made house on a 10x10 lot. The price is $4,599 and the 10x10 lot costs $200. 8308-(4599-200)=3909. I would then familyfunds my founder to have 3909 simoleons.

You must do this BEFORE you go buy your books or add anything to your lot/house.

Make sure the lot you are moving your founder in to has no trees, shrubs, flowers or other decorations, and the ground is painted with a dirt or sand texture. 

Create Your Sim

Choose your occult restriction. (Witcher). See this page for details.

By default, with no game start advantages or handicaps, you will use the following rules:

Your founder will start as a Young Adult of whichever gender you choose.

You can choose your founder's starting lift freely.

Your founder does not go to University unless you take Higher Education advantage.

Create a Sim in CAS.

Move your founder Sim to the Apocalypse Lot.

See above - by default, your Sim will be a young adult (unless you take Get Off My Lawn handicap, in which case your founder starts as an Adult) male or female, life state according to your chosen occult restriction.

Your Sim may have any Life Time Wish you want and have any traits you want (unless you take Nobody's Perfect handicap, in which case certain traits are off-limits). You are not limited on how they look (unless you take The Eyes Have It handicap) or what they wear.

If you choose to create a supernatural sim, refer to the specific Supernatural Sims rules for any game play considerations concerning your founder and their family.

Find a Job

By default you may choose any of the base 19 lifts for your founder to pursue.

If you chose I'm sorry, you're overqualified handicap, you are required to choose your founder's starting lift at random from the list below:

If you chose to send your founder to University, choose your career first. Then you can choose your major to fit that job. You have to first finish your University time before you can actually take the job.

Generate a number between 1 and 6 with an online number generator or a 6 sided (square) die.

Random.org is an easy online random number generator to use.

Choose your career from one of the three (or four) options available on the result you rolled.

The List:

Roll of 1: Architect / Athletic / Business

Roll of 2: Communications / Criminal / Culinary

Roll of 3: Education / Entertainment / Espionage

Roll of 4: Forensics / Journalism / Master Thief

Roll of 5: Medical / Military / Naturalist

Roll of 6: Paranormal / Politics / Science / Symphonic

After you choose your starting lift, you must immediately walk to register for the career required for your lift. You can do it regardless of other restrictions in place. If there are more ways to clear your restriction, you can choose any one of them.

Furnish your house

You are, in general, limited to a buy item cost of $1000 simoleons or less for any item you purchase.

Go to the Book Store and purchase at least 3 skill books (ONLY skill books allowed). You are REQUIRED to purchase at least 3 books at the beginning of the challenge!

You are allowed to purchase a single Sloppy Jalopy.

As some items within the allowed price range are not allowed for various reasons, refer to the Buy and Build item restrictions.

If you are sending your sim to University, refer to the University Life rules about buying books.

This will be the ONLY time you are allowed to go out in the neighborhood and go shopping until you have lifted relevant restrictions.

You may buy as many of the toddler skill books and any of the adult skill books you want. (Note that the "Jimmy Sprockett" books are not skill books.)

You are highly encouraged to purchase the Gardening books as they are the only way to learn Gardening if you cannot go to the library.

You may visit the Consignment Store to buy skill books (ONLY skill books allowed). You may visit both the Consignment Store and the Book Store on the first day of the challenge, if desired, but you must purchase a minimum of 3 books total.

You must place a car parking space on the ground within your 8x8 area and keep your car placed on that space when ever you are at home with it.

If you own the Classically Cool Fixer Upper from the store you may purchase this instead of the Sloppy Jalopy. Refer to Store Content in Science for restrictions concerning this car.

It's time to start your Apocalypse Challenge!!

Headache Solutions with Gemstones

Most headaches result from tension. Tension produces pain in the neck and shoulders resulting in constriction of the blood vessels and blood Circulation resulting in Headaches. Stress, guilt, fear, anger, Depression, and rage are all contributing factors to Tension Headaches.

Underlying health problems can also result in headaches. Everything from sinusitis to nutritional imbalance, spinal misalignment to PMS, poor Circulation to TMJ are all culprits.

Food Allergies and additives, cigarette smoke, air pollutants, poor ventilation, certain drugs, chemicals, and overexposure to sun are also factors. Proper diagnosis of the particular headache makes treatment much more specific and easier to diagnose.

Migraines are the result in an abnormal flow of blood to the brain. Pain can last for several hours to several days. Migraines are frequently related to food and environmental Allergies. They may also be brought on by poor Circulation, chemical sensitivities, changes in humidity, stress or underlying illness. If you get frequent or unusually severe Headaches, medical attention must be sought.

Typically, Migraines bring severe, one-sided throbbing pain (in 40 percent of cases, however, the pain occurs on both sides). Often this is accompanied by nausea and vomiting and perhaps tremor and dizziness. Some people also experience pre-migraine warning symptoms, including blurred vision, “floating” visual images, and numbness in an arm or leg.

Nutrtition

Water is essential in any healing process. Distilled water is the best. 6-8 eight ounces glasses per day.

Be aware of your caffeine intake. If you don’t get your daily dosage of caffeine, your blood vessels will dilate, possibly giving you a headache. Too much caffeine will also give you a headache, so try to limit yourself to two cups of coffee a day.

Don’t chew gum. The repetitive chewing motion can tighten muscles and bring on a Tension headache.

High salt intake can trigger migraines in some people.

Skipping or delaying meals can cause headaches two ways. A missed meal can cause muscle Tension, and, when blood sugar drops from lack of food, the blood vessels of the brain tighten. When you eat again, they expand, leading to headache. Eating more smaller meals often helps as a preventative measure.

Milk can sometimes be a culprit.

Hot dogs, like luncheon and other cured meats, contain nitrates. Nitrates dilate blood vessels, which can cause head pain. Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is often not absorbed well into the human system and can cause throbbing Headaches. This ingredient is often found in Chinese food.

Chocolate contains tyramine, a chief suspect in causing Headaches. Often, many people outgrow this chemical reaction to tyramine. The body appears to build up a tolerance for it at a young age. Also, nuts and some aged cheeses both contain tyramine.

Smoking can cause headaches. You should not smoke, period.

Carbon monoxide gas appears to adversely affect brain blood flow.

Alcoholic drinks can cause headaches. Also, some liquors contain tyramine.

Managing Your Headache

Sleep. A lot of people sleep a headache off, but don’t oversleep. It is not recommended that you nap. While a nap may rid you of an existing headache, you don’t want to nap if you’re headache-free. Napping can actually cause migraines to those who are PRONE to them.

Sleeping in an awkward position, or even on your stomach, can cause the muscles in your neck to contract and trigger a headache. Sleeping on your back or in a fetal position helps. Posture also plays a role. Stand tall, sit straight. Avoid leaning or pushing your head in one direction.

Heat and Cold. Some people like the feeling of cold against their foreheads or necks and for them it seems to help. An ice pack applied to the areas of the head, neck, back or shoulders will often relieve the burning sensation of Headaches. Others prefer hot showers or putting heat on their head, shoulder blades or necks. The idea is to find what works best for your type of headache.

Deep breathing is a great tension reliever. Take note: you’re doing it right if your stomach is moving more than your chest. Check yourself for signs that you are tensing up and inviting headache ‘ clenched teeth, clenched fists, hunched shoulders.

Learn Biofeedback. Studies have proven it effective for both Tension Headaches and Migraines. Use your hands. Both self-massage and Acupressure can help. Two key points for reducing pain with Acupressure are the web between your forefinger and thumb (squeeze there until you feel pain) and under the bony ridges at the back of the neck (use both thumbs to apply pressure there). Excessive noise is a common trigger for Tension Headaches.

Protect your eyes from the sun, fluorescent lighting, television, or a video display terminal – can lead to squinting, eyestrain, and, finally, headache. Sunglasses are a good idea if you’re going to be outside. If you’re working inside, take some rest breaks from the computer screen and also wear some type of tinted glasses.

Crystal Therapies

Quartz Technique and Headaches

A special technique for Headaches using Quartz crystal can be very useful. Most pain needs energy to repair itself. Headaches are due to too much energy in the head. Energy flows in and out of the head through the Brow and Crown Chakra. When blockage occurs, usually this is emotionally related, the energy cannot be released and the excess pressure causes pain. Excess energy needs to be removed.

Place a Quartz crystal point in your dominant hand with the point upward.

Place this hand with the crystal on the Solar Plexus Chakra. Place the other hand on the headache pain.

This energy transfer from the head to the energy center of the Solar Plexus can take up to 30 minutes.

Through this process, allow your body to breath deeply with your eyes closed.

The energy transferred to the Solar Plexus actually balances the whole entire body system, ridding the head of the pain.
