@babygirlcarmy so i feel like it would be a… i guess twist on all the fics where nicky has homophobic family. if like, so he’s becoming friends with Joe and Joe sees him declining a phone call from his grandmother with a grimace and he’s like, gently sympathetic and Nicky’s just like — no you don’t understand she’s found out I’ve never had a boyfriend and now she won’t stop giving me DATING TIPS BECAUSE SHE THINKS I’M A LOST CAUSE. “I’ll call her back later when she’s about to eat dinner. that way she can’t trap me for half an hour by reading out a list of gay bars she found on yell.com.”

and Joe is like ok 💀 well then 💀

anyway going around a lot of art galleries this week has reminded me that i really want to write the joe/nicky fic where joe is a new tour guide at the art museum with an aspiration to end up as a curator once he’s done with grad school, and one day at the end of his shift he meets the hot security guard who sometimes does nights.

and then he hears rumours from his colleagues that this guy has… crackpot theories about the art??? joe is like uh ok but also he doesn’t like their tone or the fact that security guards are banned from talking to museum patrons about the art. he’s like, note that down as things to discuss once we finally get this union recognised.

anyway of course it turns out that the security guard, nicky, has three quarters of a PhD in religious art history and he’s been communing with the art a lot and chilling out with it at night. “art speaks in many different voices,” he likes to say, mysteriously. joe is like, wtf, please marry me.

yes it’s very loosely based on the article at the paris review blog about the unicorn tapestries, but can you blame me???

Seeing a lot of Goncharov content but only real 70s movie heads will know that Spanish director Pere Portabella was meant to be making a behind-the-scenes documentary of the film which turned into a whole other thing. It's called GOMORRA CALLS.

Scorsese is in it and so are his parents, for some reason. At first you're just like oh this is cute, they're bringing food to the set, taking an interest in what's going on. But it becomes this quite... Creepy reality-bending thing? His mother keeps cryptically referring to weird telephone calls they've been getting at home, and his dad keeps moving things on the set, you can only see what he's doing if you spend a lot of time watching him at the edge of the frame while someone else is talking. And sometimes they'll get to the set in the morning and find things left in the wrong place, there's a weird smear on a camera lenses, one of the actors has lost half the pages from the copy of the script they've been learning from.

I think the idea was meant to be that they're being hounded by the realfe mafia for making the movie. But it almost seems like they're being haunted by the ghosts of mafia members at times. Like, Scorsese's hotel room will be freezing cold, and he's being sent anonymous messages at the front desk in a way that just doesn't make sense. He says, "I'm not sure if someone is trying to stop this movie... Or if they just want to be part of it. If they want to look at a prop in the wrong place and just say, hey, that was me."

At the time of its limited run in the US, Scorsese said he didn't really know what Portabella was making, fueling theories that the film was true documentary and not fictionalised. But it's listed as fiction on Portabella's Wikipedia page now, and the prevaing theory is that it must be made up. It's not been included on any of the Goncharov DVD or Blu-Ray packages but it was supposed to be a Criterion Channel exclusive last year... It never showed up, and there are rumours it's to do with audio licensing issues. But there's a VHS rip floating around out there if you know where to look.

[tinyrosemarysparrows]

are there any traditional witchcraft blogs you recommend following?

Me.

Jokes aside, pretty much everyone worth following is gone or near-dead. I still answer questions when I get them (and when the people asking are Polite, which they rarely are anymore. You’d be surprised how many people have sent me real life names and private information of others to ask me to help curse them). I think it started happening a few years ago when the “community” became especially hostile and expected to have all of their questions answered. That’s not really how traditional craft works, you know? That whole movement also lended to my blog moving farther away from what it originally was because there was no point in trying to have public conversations anymore.

Give me an hour or so and I’ll come back to edit this post with a few recommendations for trad craft blogs. I’m also going to include some podcasts and books because those have become my main sources of information. This isn’t a great site for resources anymore. Not that it ever was, but I learned a lot from people who are no longer here. I was still way below their level when they were active so I never reached out and now that I’m more experienced I can’t tell them how much they influenced the way that I practice and seek out information. At the very least, I would have liked to say, “Thank you for touching my life, even if you never knew that it existed.”

I really love these blogs: @haremask, @deerhoofandrabbitsfoot, @iopanosiris, @ioqayin, @thedeedwithaname, @grimnirs-child, @therainshallmakeadoor, @southerncunning, and @toverijenspokerij. Hey, guys, you are very cool and I have been a fan for a long time and hopefully this ping isn’t weird. Full disclosure, I don’t think all of them are traditional witchcraft blogs, but they’re lovely. Others have since deleted or fallen into the void.

For podcasts: Betwixt and Between (their coven is in my area and I would love to meet them one day), Down at the Crossroads, and New World Witchery. Upon a Pagan Path only has nineteen episodes, but episode 005 is one that I constantly listen to because it speaks to me a lot.

For books, I am only recommending what I currently own and have read through: A Deed Without a Name by Lee Morgan, The Flame in the Cauldron by Orion Foxwood, The Candle at the Crossroads by Orion Foxwood, Thirteen Pathways of Occult Herbalism by Daniel Shulk, Wisht Waters by Gemma Gary (honestly, any of her books are a good read. I have multiple and I don’t want to list them), and Resurrection of the Meadow by Robin Artisson. I believe there’s been some controversy with Artisson, but this book is very good. This list isn’t everything that I have, but what’s relevant.

The greatest resources you can have are ones that deal with your area. Learn the land. Practice what it has taught you. This includes the flora, fauna, and seasonal changes. I say this in equal parts joking and serious: go out and lay in the dirt.
