Totem animal art I don't think I've posted here!

I have Co-Chief totems, but I haven't drawn the other one (a Panther) in a while - I'll post her whenever I get to that. C:

Until then, have Nicolai (Co-chief Totem #1, Fennec Kitsune), Celeste (Eastern Dragon), My Tiger totems (they're a fused pair - their colors shift back and forth, hence the appearance) and Esfir/Essie (Lynx)!

The witchcraft community is literally so mean to people with OCD. I will not elaborate but I will say, there is no right way to be into witchcraft. You can do literally whatever practice with no consequence. And the people that act like others will be smited by some all-knowing god is fucking ludicrous.

I'm literally sick and tired of people acting like witchcraft and beliefs exist in a perfect bubble/vacuum, no you dumb bitch, you're affected by other beliefs, especially the world that you grew up with. There will be no such thing as a pure belief or thoughts on spirituality. Everything becomes affected by one another.

I'm also fucking tired of people assuming that we have to dredge up things or evaluate things to be a perfect little witch. Why don't you stop putting people up to insane standards and mind your damn business. How other people's practices go is no concern of yours, its not your place to judge it.

And as far as misinformation goes, just don't get yourself hurt. If its bad for you, don't do it. But most things are on the table. Just don't do something illegal.

The witch community has a severe purity problem and most are influenced by christian beliefs without realizing it. Maybe you need to evaluate your own beliefs before you judge others.

Friendly reminder that God loves everyone, and that includes queer people. Anyone that says otherwise is wrong. No matter what you believe in, your faith is never an excuse to harm others. Spread love and equality, not hate and discrimination!

Have a safe pride month, y’all 💜🌈

I kinda like but dislike that Rumiko and Sunrise (and fans) have never even mentioned that miko (priestesses) are virgins. And that their shinto ability to tend holy places comes from being unmarried virgins. In modern day I guess it is not really required but I kind of wish more people analyzed Kikyo, the dark priestess, Kaede and Kagome in that light.

Personally I think that due to the era Kagome would not be allowed to remain a miko after getting married and having a child. She would still be one of course due to her spiritual ability, but I think she would no longer be allowed to remain in that societal role.

Kagome is so spunky though that I see her rebelling against it. I think Kagome's strength in being outspoken is another great contrast between her and Kikyo. While Kikyo was confined by society and was only freed from expectation when she became an impure monster. Kagome was outspoken and loud to where she didn't have much of a societal role and yet remained 'spiritually pure.'

There is a huge theme of 'societal expectation' in Kagome, Inuyasha, and Kikyo that I think being a miko is a part of.

Personally I'm torn on Kagome loudly choosing to get married and have a child VS remaining a Miko and Kagome choosing to attempt to do both.

I know it's because she's an attempt at a main series Sunset Shimmer and because they eventually have her be Twilight's student, but man I don't quite see the point in having Starlight Glimmer be a Twilight Sparkle parallel

Since some people want to get on my case (despite apparently not knowing Japanese themselves) for how I explained "tadaima", here's several people explaining it more or less the exact same way I did:

As you can see, it is used 99% of the time with people who you live with and/or have a close relationship to.

Discover Your Spiritual Animal Meaning: Connect & Embrace Your Guide

Many cultures believe that animals represent powerful spiritual guides and messengers that can enhance our lives and provide deeper insights into our purpose and personal growth. By connecting with and embracing your animal guide, you can access their wisdom and support on your spiritual journey.

Whether you are seeking guidance, clarity, or a deeper connection with the spiritual world, discovering your spirit animal can be a transformative experience. In this article, we will explore the spiritual animal meaning, and how to find and connect with your own animal guide.

Understanding Spiritual Animals: Totems, Power Animals, and Spirit Guides

As we explore the world of spiritual animals, we encounter various terms associated with this concept. To better understand these terms, it is essential to recognize the role they play in different cultures.

Totems A totem is a symbol or emblem that represents a group of people or a clan. It is believed to have a spiritual meaning and serves as a reminder of the group’s ancestry, values, and traditions. In some cultures, totems are associated with animal spirits that guide and protect their community.

Power Animals Power animals, also known as animal guides, are spirit animals that provide guidance and strength to individuals. These animals are believed to possess certain qualities that individuals can emulate to overcome their own challenges and obstacles. Power animals can appear in dreams, meditations, or unexpected encounters in the physical world.

Spirit Guides Spirit guides are entities that offer spiritual guidance and support. They can appear in different forms, including animals, angels, or ancestors. Spirit guides are believed to possess wisdom and knowledge that can help individuals in their personal growth and spiritual journey.

In summary, spiritual animals can be classified into totems, power animals, and spirit guides. Each of these categories serves a unique purpose in providing guidance and support to different cultures.

Spiritual Animal Meaning: Exploring the Symbolism Spiritual practices often incorporate animals and their symbolism to represent different qualities and characteristics. Native American culture, for example, has a practice of using totem animals to represent different aspects of life. Butterflies, for instance, represent gentleness and transformation, while the owl spirit animal symbolizes wisdom and intuition.

The lion spirit animal, on the other hand, is symbolic of strength and courage. Mythical creatures, such as dragons and unicorns, also hold significant spiritual meanings in various cultures.

Understanding the symbolism of different animals in spiritual practices can lead to a greater appreciation and connection with the natural world. By paying attention to the animals that cross our paths and the qualities they represent, we can gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and our place in the universe.

The Power of Animal Symbolism: How Animals Can Enhance Your Spiritual Understanding

Animals have been revered and admired for their unique traits and qualities throughout human history. From their physical prowess to their instinctual behaviors, animals have always held a special place in our hearts and minds. But did you know that animals can also hold great spiritual significance and symbolism?

In many cultures, animals are believed to represent different qualities and characteristics, making them powerful symbols for personal growth and spiritual understanding. By understanding the symbolism and meaning behind a particular animal, you can gain deeper insights into your own personality and journey.

As you can see, each animal can represent a variety of qualities that may be relevant to your personal journey. By exploring the different animal meanings, you can gain a deeper appreciation for the natural world and the role that animals play in our spiritual lives.

But animal symbolism isn’t just about individual animals. Mythical creatures like unicorns and dragons are also prevalent in spiritual traditions, each representing their unique qualities and symbolism.

Animal Symbolism in Art and Literature The power of animal symbolism is evident in art and literature as well. Many famous works of art, such as Vincent van Gogh’s “The Starry Night,” feature animals prominently, imbuing them with deeper meaning and significance. In literature, animals are often used as metaphors and symbols to convey complex emotions and ideas.

Whether you’re an artist, writer, or simply someone looking to deepen their spiritual understanding, exploring the symbolism of different animals can be a powerful tool for personal growth and self-reflection.

Exploring the World of Spirit Animals: Multiple Guides and Their Meanings

In many cultures, the concept of having one specific spirit animal is not the norm. Instead, it’s understood that a person can have multiple spirit animal guides throughout their lifetime. Each guide may represent different aspects of the individual, providing unique insights and guidance. It’s important to note that one’s spirit animals may change over time, as personal growth and life experiences shape us.

In Native American traditions, it’s believed that a person may have up to nine animal spirits that represent different qualities and teachings. These animal guides can be discovered through meditation, dream interpretation, or divination practices.

Other cultures may have different beliefs regarding spirit animals. For example, in some traditions, a person may have an animal that represents their birth year or month. In others, certain animals may be seen as more powerful or auspicious than others.

No matter the culture or practice, the diversity of spirit animals allows for a rich and complex understanding of the natural world and our place within it. By engaging with and exploring the world of spirit animals, we can gain a deeper appreciation for the interconnectedness of all living beings.

The Importance of Respect and Appreciation: Honoring Your Spirit Animal

Your spirit animal represents a spiritual connection that can bring guidance, support, and personal growth to your life. It is important to show respect and appreciation for this connection, honoring the role it plays in your spiritual journey.

One way to honor your spirit animal is by learning about its symbolism and meanings. Understanding the characteristics and traits associated with your animal guide can provide insights into your own personality and offer guidance in navigating life’s challenges.

Native American traditions provide examples of how to honor the spiritual connection with animals. For example, a common practice is to offer tobacco as a sign of respect when seeking guidance from an animal spirit. Additionally, many Native American tribes hold powwows that include dances and ceremonies honoring the animals that are important to their culture.

Showing respect for your spirit animal can also involve making lifestyle changes. For example, if your spirit animal represents gentleness, you may choose to cultivate a more gentle approach to your interactions with others. If your animal guide represents strength and courage, you may choose to take on challenges with a stronger resolve.

Honoring your spirit animal is not only beneficial to you, but it also acknowledges the importance of animals in the world. They are fellow spiritual beings that deserve respect and appreciation for what they bring to our lives.

Conclusion Discovering and connecting with your spiritual animal guide can provide powerful insights and opportunities for personal growth. By understanding the symbolism and meanings associated with different animals, we can deepen our connection to the natural world and cultivate a greater understanding of ourselves.

Through practices like animal quizzes and meditation, we can identify our spirit animal and begin to build a relationship with them. By honoring and respecting our animal guide, we can integrate their teachings into our daily lives and foster a greater sense of meaning and purpose.

Whether we have one or multiple spirit animals, their presence can provide transformative lessons and serve as powerful guardians and teachers. By nurturing our spiritual growth and embracing the role of our animal guide, we can cultivate a greater sense of self-awareness and understanding of the world around us.

Reference art of my sona, Niko Spirata + one of many monster forms (Spirit Elemental/Cat monster). As I am genderfluid, they have three references to reflect it (Feminine, Nonbinary/Both?, Masculine)!

The monster form is Undertale AU-related more than anything else (In the context of multiverse crossover happenings, however, this is something that becomes a permanence with Niko later in the timeline).

Regardless of form, they've got spirit-related abilities (hence the form in the second piece), which means they can see things unseen to the naked eye (with their third eye), call upon totems/spirit animals for support in various situations and look to various deities when meditating (for advice more than anything - it's comparable to a DnD session when a character calls upon their deity of choice). It's a more exaggerated, "magical" version of what some people can do with spiritual practices (combined with the more modern interpretation of a... witch, maybe?).

Quick edit: Reblog if you like my stuff! Please!!! (No seriously, it helps artists a lot and it gets their stuff out there to reblog)

Oc comic of them meeting

[yoonyia]

my humanity in a book series now that I actually think about the premise is so weird.

the original concept is just to prove that all of humanity's pain and suffering and joys and gifts can be shown in just a few books, that a lot of our struggles are shared and a lot are unique but that they're all inherently human.

no matter what experience you go through it's going to be a human experience because you are a human, and no matter how isolated and alone or exiled you feel the rest of humanity you are still infact human and take that part of you everywhere

you will always be a step in some direction of humanity no matter what that deed is

it's not meant to be read as comforting, in all honesty most of the characters find the idea of never not being human to be sort of disturbing. But that's a part of the human experience too. To look at humanity and say "man we suck"

But now I'm looking at it and it's more then that

the book is set in the 32nd century

although because of my lack of imagination I can't think of what the language would be like I did haphazardly put together a culture that I personally felt like matched the common trend of development in humanity

everyone is given a livable space, concept of currency really isn't a thing (but that's less on humanity and just because the space colony is made up of roughly 10,000 people and trade is impossible, there's more reasons too but I won't get into them at this moment) and in all honesty the society is fundamentally different then most societies on earth.

It's what you would call a utopia but it's such an obvious system that no body even considers it good. They talk only about the unfairness of the council members and the inhuman layout the colony is built on to make it relatively fair between all people. (I say fair not equal because they do take children, occupation and just size of person into account, which yes is a nightmare for everyone invloved)

but I dont know if you see it but there's a disconnect

they don't value the things we value, they don't have the same desires the same ambitions the same secret indulges, many conflicts are the same as they are now but they have a completely different context, different reactions from people, different tones and no real recognizable side we usually see in modern debates.

it's worse then if it were completely different conflicts, then you could just do some narrative translation and make it based off of the modern lense but you can't do that because it's the same conflict. ofcourse it's not to a point where your brain thinks "I can't compherehend this at all" but actually that makes it worse, because it is compherehensible it just isn't common

it's a story trying to tell you that all human experiences are inherently human but it's showing you a humanity that you can't really quite connect with

things you think are basic desires exist but they're not considered the core things that makes someone human, there's something alien about these people that you can't really agree with the actions they take and can't make sense of the movements and words they make.

800 years is a long time and I wanted to show it but I made a story that's inherently ironic

it still fits the original theme, it might fit it even better since it's telling you no matter how much humanity changes its still going to be humanity

but I left my audience behind, I alienated them to show them that they are human, that despite the alienation they're still apart of this society that they're reading about that dosent feel quite right

it's a weird thing to do

I really thought this book was going to be simple to write but I'm already adding layers and I don't think I'm going to stop

and also the science aspect behind this story excites me so much

I'm no biology major so half the stuff I come up with for the alien planet's are probably going to be impossible but it's fun to write about

espicially the plants, I found the heat regulated Lilly pads to be really fun to think up of

also fox like creatures that glow under uv light, gosh that took so much research

they're adorable by human standards but they are deathly venomous so please don't pet them

this series isn't even the only one in this universe

there's a second story that I suddenly forgot the name of but it's something like 'Colony 1, Brother Lutangalo' or something similar.

oh and if you haven't noticed yes these books are heavily inspired by the enderverse and I just wanted to go more indepth into the parts of the books that was largely left unexplored. So this series is also inspired by the shadow series, so the humanity in a book is more morality, conceptual and personal in nature the col1 brother lutangalo books are more political and more grounded in the main society (the 2 main characters are sent to set up a colony on a different planet so they aren't really on the main colony themselves) the main narrator being lutangalo which is the son of the 108 year old colony leader Lau. (this society also has a euthanization law that all people over the age of 100 by law must die to prevent over population, but religious leaders are protected so they can live pass 100 indefinitely) and is currently 8 when you first meet him. Actually his books don't start until he's 12, we meet him when he's 8 because that's the year the 2 main characters comes back

his books, and I'm calling them his books because this series is heavily centered on the one character rather then the humanity series which is forced to jump between people in different time and space to get the message across because the 2 main characters litterally don't react to anyone else but eachother for the majority of book one, all of book 2 and half of book 3 (at least that's what my planning says but it may change when I get to writing the drafts)

anyways his books are very focused on the family that he's apart of and how they affect the colony, it also focuses on the personal perspective of this one kid which is honestly the closet thing the readers get to a instinctually relatable character, he has all the impulses and needs a person of the current age would have, because he basically lived in the 21st century because of his obsessive need to research about Mr ari who is notoriously a history nerd.

so you're finally getting a person that lives and breathes in the same patterns as you do.

and he's so miserable

he is one of the most troubled, impulsive people you have ever met

but also the calmest and kindest and gentlest person at the same time

he's a horrible liar until he isn't, he's intelligent and self aware until he's shockingly oblivious

just a ball of horrible contradictions that feels way too unstable and flipfloppy to be consistently relatable

yes of course in several moments you will exclaim "ha, he's just like me!" but it's going to be rather hard to admit that all of his experiences and actions are relatable or even compherehensible

unlike the first series it's not justifiable in any rational way

it's messy, it's complicated, it's convoluted and he's honestly awful in some scenes

but thats human too

“This Enoch, whose flesh was turned to flame, his veins to fire, his eye-lashes to flashes of lightning, his eye-balls to flaming torches, and whom God placed on a throne next to the throne of glory, received after this heavenly transformation the name Metatron.”

“Metatron "the Youth", a title previously used in 3 Enoch, where it appears to mean "servant". It identifies him as the angel that led the people of Israel through the wilderness after their exodus from Egypt (again referring to Exodus 23:21), and describes him as a heavenly priest.

In the later Ecstatic Kabbalah, Metatron is a messianic figure.

The Zohar describes Metatron as the "King of the angels." and associates the concept of Metatron with that of the divine name Shaddai.”

During my ECPR training yesterday I ended up paired with a christian and supporting her through a crisis of faith.

And of course I drew from my religious history and let her know I understood because I've been through it. I just didn't bother to mention that I no longer identified as such, because the conversation wasn't about me.

But now these mofos have just assumed I'm religious and. Oh boy.
