Struggling to find Resources for the Infernal Divine?

I know how difficult it can be finding information about the Infernal Divine considering there is a lack of information that isn't written from someone's personal gnosis or beliefs who was also a terrible person outside of their published books or most of the media and sources today have absolutely written the Demonic Divine as “ evil ” and “ the big bad that should be avoided because Christianity said so. ” Christianity is a rather recent religion that stole from other religions ( which those religions stole from others, mind fuck huh? ) and stole pagan practices and holidays all to fill their own non - existent ego and pride since they couldn't come up with traditions on their own. Unfortunately, we will be unable to find the original texts of the true mythology of these heavily misunderstood deities because it has been lost to time or other circumstances. Unless you can time travel, all we can do is scour for information about them online and in books and fact - check everything.

Below this short wall of a paragraph is a list of authors you should avoid along with reasons why as well as some books and websites focused on the Infernal Divine to get you started. Even though I just told you to avoid certain authors, it is important to read through their books anyways for information to fact - check, keeping their problematic beliefs and gnosis in mind.

AUTHORS TO AVOID.

Witch Authors to Avoid with Reasoning.

The Beginner's Guide to Bitcoin: Overcoming the Fear of the Unknown

We've all been there – staring at headlines about Bitcoin's latest price movement, wondering if we've missed the boat or if it's all just a complicated scam. The truth is, Bitcoin represents one of the most significant financial innovations of our time, yet many people still hesitate to take their first step into this new world. This guide will help you understand why Bitcoin matters and how you can start your journey with confidence.

Why Bitcoin Matters

In a world where governments can print unlimited money and banks can freeze your accounts, Bitcoin offers something revolutionary: true financial freedom. It's not just another investment vehicle – it's a technology that gives you complete control over your money. Unlike traditional currencies that lose value through inflation, Bitcoin has a fixed supply, making it a potential hedge against economic uncertainty.

But let's be honest: trying something new, especially when it involves your hard-earned money, can feel intimidating. That's completely normal, and it's exactly why we're here to guide you through this journey step by step.

What is Bitcoin, Really?

Think of Bitcoin as digital gold for the internet age. Just as gold has been valued for thousands of years because of its scarcity and durability, Bitcoin is valuable because it's limited (only 21 million will ever exist) and cannot be counterfeited or controlled by any government or institution.

Unlike traditional money that relies on banks and governments, Bitcoin operates on a decentralized network of computers worldwide. This means no single entity can shut it down, manipulate its supply, or prevent you from using it. It's truly global money that works the same way whether you're in New York, Lagos, or Tokyo.

Breaking Down the Barriers

Let's address some common fears that might be holding you back:

"Isn't Bitcoin just for criminals?" This misconception stems from Bitcoin's early days. In reality, all Bitcoin transactions are recorded on a public ledger, making it far more transparent than cash. Major financial institutions and public companies now hold Bitcoin as a legitimate asset.

"Isn't it too late to invest?" While early adopters saw incredible returns, Bitcoin's journey is far from over. As global adoption continues to grow, many experts believe we're still in the early stages of this technological revolution.

Modern tools have made Bitcoin more accessible than ever. User-friendly apps like Cash App, Coinbase, and Strike have transformed the once-complex process of buying Bitcoin into something as simple as ordering a ride-share.

Taking Your First Steps

Before investing any money, invest some time in education. Start with beginner-friendly resources like "The Bitcoin Standard" by Saifedean Ammous for a deep understanding of Bitcoin's role in economic history. Websites like Bitcoin.org offer clear, non-technical explanations of key concepts.

When you're ready to buy your first Bitcoin, here's a simple process:

Choose a reputable exchange (Coinbase, Kraken, or Gemini are good for beginners)

Create and verify your account (you'll need ID and basic personal information)

Connect your bank account

Start with a small amount – even $20 is fine

Remember: never leave significant amounts of Bitcoin on an exchange. Instead, transfer it to a personal wallet (like Blue Wallet for mobile or Ledger for hardware storage) where you control the private keys.

The Bigger Picture

Bitcoin's impact extends far beyond investment returns. In countries like Venezuela, where hyperinflation has destroyed the local currency, Bitcoin provides a way for people to preserve their savings. In nations with limited banking access, it offers millions their first opportunity to participate in the global economy.

This isn't just about making money – it's about participating in a movement toward financial sovereignty and inclusion.

The Power of Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA)

For newcomers, Bitcoin's price volatility can be nerve-wracking. This is where Dollar-Cost Averaging comes in – it's your secret weapon for building Bitcoin savings while managing risk.

DCA means investing a fixed amount regularly, regardless of price. Instead of trying to time the market, you might invest $50 every week. When prices are high, you buy less Bitcoin; when prices are low, you buy more. This strategy helps reduce the impact of volatility and removes the emotional stress of timing your purchases.

Here's how to start:

Choose your regular investment amount (start small – even $25/week adds up)

Select your frequency (weekly or monthly works well)

Set up automatic purchases on your chosen platform

Stay consistent and ignore short-term price movements

For example, if you had invested $50 weekly in Bitcoin over the past five years, you would have accumulated significant savings while avoiding the stress of market timing. This approach is particularly powerful as Bitcoin continues to gain mainstream adoption.

Take the Leap

Everyone in the Bitcoin space started exactly where you are now – curious but uncertain. The key is to start small, both with your education and your investments. Don't feel pressured to understand everything at once or invest more than you're comfortable with.

Remember, Bitcoin is a journey, not a destination. Take that first small step, whether it's buying $20 worth of Bitcoin or spending an hour learning about blockchain technology. Focus on learning and understanding rather than getting rich quick.

The future of money is changing, and you have the opportunity to be part of this transformation. Start your Bitcoin journey today, one small step at a time.

Can anyone recommend me some fairly beginner harp pieces? I have a 22 string celtic/folk harp (I think) and it has no levers. I’m not even sure what I’m talking about but I’m currently borrowing it and not sure what to learn considering I have no teachers. I also have a Sylvia Woods beginner book. (Also tips would be appreciated)

“Savour me, devour me, value me. Peel me open like a pomegranate and sink your teeth into me, explain

how sweet i am. Firm by the touch, delicately sweet the next. On the inside is my red, red enough? I’m waiting patiently for your teeth at my throat, tear me asunder i don’t want to beg cause i know you can

feel it my longing, the aching, a feeling intertwined.

If touching you turns me a sinner then i’ll fall deeper than the abysmal depths of hell for you. “

What exactly is Blockchain

A Comprehensive Guide for All: What is Blockchain?

Try to picture yourself with a notebook in which you record every purchase or sale. Each time you do a transaction, you note it in the notebook. Now, what if you distributed this notebook amongst your friends and everyone had one? All of your buddies would scrutinize your entry before adding it to their notes. This way, nobody could fake an old entry, since everyone else would spot it.

Something known as blockchain is built upon this basic concept — sharing a record of transactions open for everyone to verify. Though it may sound intimidating, it is a technology gaining traction in the financial and computer sector. We will clarify it in this blog in simple words, so anybody may follow it.

What Exactly Does Blockchain Mean?

Fundamentally, blockchain is simply a unique form of digital record-keeping. Think of it as a series of blocks (hence the name “blockchain”), each block including transaction information. These blocks are related in a way that makes them quite stable and difficult to change.

Step by step, this is how it works:

A Transaction Occurs: Suppose Alice wants to give Bob $10. This is an interaction.

The transaction is registered: the information of this transaction is passed to a network of computer nodes instead of being written in one notebook.

Everyone Checks the Transaction: The computers in the network check to make sure Alice has $10 to transmit. By examining her past deals kept in earlier blocks, they do this.

The transaction is added to a block: Once everyone concurs it is legitimate, it gets formed with other transactions into a block.

The Block Is Sealed, attached: The block is assigned an individual code (known as a hash) and then included in the chain of already existing blocks. This makes a fixed, permanent record of the deal. There it is! It is like one huge, common ledger keeping track of all system events.

What Makes Blockchain Different?

Now, one might be wondering, “Why not simply use a normal database or spreadsheet?” Fantastic issue! Blockchain distinguishes itself by several distinct qualities.

It is distributed across.

Most models today have one main custodian — be it a bank, company, or government — that manages the records. The entire system can crumble if something goes wrong with that central authority — say, hacking or corruption.

Blockchain relies on many, but not one authority. It rather distributes the blame amongst several computers (nodes). Every node has a full blockchain copy, therefore no individual or group may manage it. This all but prevents evil actors from using the data.

It is transparent.

Given that each transaction is visible to all people in the network, and recorded on the blockchain, it is clear. You can observe when and where money or assets traveled from one location to another. Since no one can hide anything, this openness fosters confidence.

Consider how a nonprofit uses blockchain to monitor contributions, for instance. Donors might observe very clearly how their funds are used, therefore guaranteeing that they reach the intended beneficiaries without middlemen siphoning off funds.

Safe.

Adding a transaction to the blockchain makes it virtually irrevocable.

Therefore: Every block has its distinct code (hash), including the one from the preceding block. Trying to change a block would also require one to re-compute the hashes for every subsequent block, hardly a small job.

Since the blockchain is decentralized, hackers would have to simultaneously compromise more than half of the computers in the network to fiddle with the data. Considering how vast these networks can usually be, this is virtually impossible.

Such a level of security makes blockchain perfect for sensitive uses including medical records, banking, and voting systems

It cuts out intermediaries.

Usually, when you want to buy anything online or move funds, you go via middlemen including banks, payment processors, or even legal practitioners. These intermediaries increase both costs and time for the project.

Blockchains free you from the need for intermediaries. Transactions take place between parties on their own, therefore saving both time and financial means. Sending funds abroad the old way can take days and incur large charges, for example. Using blockchain-based cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, the same transaction can take minutes for a small percentage of the cost.

Examples of blockchain in the real world:

To know more about how blockchain operates in practice, let us look at some instances:

Cryptocurrencies

Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum have the most well-known applications of blockchain. People can transfer money and accept it without a bank using these digital currencies. Each time somebody sends Bitcoin to another, the blockchain notes the transaction.

Supply Chain Management Tracking

As goods traverse the supply chain, enterprises including IBM and Walmart use blockchain to monitor them. If you buy a mango, you can scan a QR code, for instance, and find exactly where it came from, who touched it, and when it reached the store. This ensures product quality and reduces fraud.

Election processes

Some nations are trying voting systems based on blockchain. Blockchain might help to lower voter fraud and raise public faith in election results since it is open and safe.

Health information

Ways hospitals and clinics could leverage blockchain for patient records storage are under investigation. This would let doctors quickly access precise and current data while permitting patients complete control of their information.

Some popular misunderstandings surrounding blockchain

Though blockchain is growing in popularity, some questions remain about its nature and usage. Those should be cleared away:

“Blockchain Is Just for Cryptocurrencies.”

Though cryptocurrencies were the first significant application of blockchain, the technology itself has great applications beyond finance. Industries including logistics, healthcare, and government are discovering creative applications of blockchain.

Blockchain is anonymous.

Though blockchain provides privacy, it is not entirely anonymous. Since transactions are listed publicly, anyone can see them. Users’ identities are typically expressed by codes — rather than actual names — thus granting some level of pseudonymity.

“Blockchain is flawless.”

Though very secure, blockchain is not free from dangers. Thankfully, such attacks are really rare because of the complexity and size of the majority of blockchain networks — for instance, if someone gains control of more than 50% of the computing power of the network, they could theoretically manipulate the blockchain in what is known as a “51% assault.”

The Future of Blockchains

Though blockchain is still fairly new, its possibilities are vast. Improvements in general efficiency, openness, and security across the board will probably follow the more widespread acceptance of it. Some professionals think that blockchain could transform everything from our personal data management to our voting.

Still, popular usage will need time. Scalability (managing vast transaction numbers), regulation (governments determining how to deal with blockchain), and education (assisting people in understanding and embracing the technology) are obstacles to be tackled.

Wraps up.

So, at its most basic, blockchain is a decentralized, clear, and secured means of documentation. Whether it is assisting farmers in obtaining fair prices for their products, accelerating international payments, or safeguarding sensitive medical information, blockchain has the capacity to change our lives and employment fundamentally.

Next time you learn about blockchain, recall the notebook analogy: It’s a shared, tamper-proof book everyone can view but no one can edit. And who knows? Maybe someday soon, blockchain will become as common as smartphones or the internet!

Even a small tip goes a long way!

This is meant to be a witchcraft blog as well so here's something's I've learned for new witches

1. You don't need to do spells

I think this is important cause when I first started I didn't know wtf to do other than spells. The main thing would be to look at different aspects of the craft and see what interests you.

NOTICE how I did not say "and see what type of witch you want to be". That is because this whole "what type of witch" thing has only started in the last couple years to give people an overview of different aspects. I mainly do spirit work and divination but I also do spell jars and use crystals. See what aspects of the craft you like but please go to number 2

2. Start with the basics.

This is your typical grounding, cleansing and protection! Not enough people know how to do this and I know books are old fashioned (I'm 21 btw) and that everything is on websites (it isn't just btw) but read Witchery by Juliet Diaz! Captivating reading and yes it may look big but the font is massive and there's a bunch of spells you can just skip over cause my one criticism with the book is that the spells take really specific shit? Like I live by a beach, have one metaphysical shop with no herbs, no farmers market and I live in an apartment with no garden. Where am I getting really specific herbs from? Space? Amazon?

3. If you feel like a deity is reaching out to you then ask someone to check!

I work with Loki, a fire elemental in the form of a chimera called Flicker (who is now a spirit guide), Fenrir, Dionysus, Hestia, Prince Stolas of the Ars Goetia, a dragon (who has been a spirit guide for 4 lifetimes), and Hades! Now that may look like a lot and let me assure you it isn't. My mentor/ teacher/ friend has like 30+

I've been practicing properly for maybe two months btw, I started divination three years ago with spirit guides and other people's but I had to take a break for a year at least cause of my housing situation and mental health.

Everyone's path is different.

I started working with Loki first, I had this really weird feeling for ages that someone was reaching out so I asked @knowledge-from-the-abyss to do a reading. Loki and Fenrir were reaching out and from there I found more spirits or they found me. Some people never work with deities, some people do, some people get a nagging feeling that someone is talking to them.

4. Ask questions

Ask them here! I'll respond! I'm unemployed so I've got time lol, you don't have to go this alone and while your journey will be different from mine I'm still happy to help you along the way!

Hope you enjoyed my post! Feel free to ask any questions! If I don't know the answer then we'll learn together!
