magnolia waves a hand dismissively at his concern. she comes to sit on the edge of his bed with ease, legs crossed beneath herself. ❝ don't. sleep. ❞ a shrug. the two words are murmured quickly, coming out with less difficulty than normal. it feels safe enough in the tower that sometimes her mind is gentler to her tongue. ❝ m-me? and slea—sleep. not friends. ❞ she offers him a small smile. everyone here has nightmares. she knows because she spends many nights awake watching them, at least she does when the others stay here, or when there are long weeks in the field. not everyone does all the time. except her, and him apparently. they don't have anywhere else to go. either way, everyone on the team has a terrible past and she hardly thinks hers should be dwelt on any more than theirs. her hands move, signing as she speaks to help her voice. ❝ ww—why? ❞ her hands make more of a complete sentence: why aren't you sleeping?

❛I can't sleep. ❜

@desafia

that makes two of them, but bob was more concerned about magnolia right now as he sat up in bed and moved his book to his beside table so she could sit with her. he had grown used to the way she would communicate, therefore he found it easy to figure out what she was saying after she entered his room. "is something wrong? do you want to stay with me for a while?" he asked, concern evident in his features and the tone he used which also displayed the fatigue that he felt from being unable to sleep.

PYTHIA // 'international queen of mystery' ball ❥ global all stars 01X03

[gallifreyinstituteforlearning]

I'm asking so many questions but finals are coming up and I'm terrified- can I get a rundown on who Omega is???

Who is Omega?

Welcome to the very sad story of Omega. Okay, he's tried to destroy the Universe a few times, but we at GIL are big fans of the deeply misunderstood Omega.

👶 From Peylix to Problematic Hero

Peylix was a Shobogan, born on ancient Gallifrey—still dominated by mysticism, prophecy, and a matriarchal theocracy ruled by soothsayer-queens known as the Pythias. He spent his early life attending school on time, sharpening pencils, and learning absolutely everything he could about stellar engineering and quantum theory. He was especially interested in time travel.

At one point in his school days, he wrote an enthusiastic paper on time travel theory based on Genefrenian models. For this paper, he earned the lowest academic mark in Gallifreyan history: Omega. He kept the name.

As Omega grew, he befriended Rassilon and became part of the Neo-Technologist movement—those who sought to depose the Pythia and replace her priesthood with science and rationality. Arguably, Omega was never particularly interested in politics. But Rassilon and the Neo-Technologists' rise offered him one thing: more space to do his science.

While Omega was busy in the labs doing science and being oblivious to brewing civil war, on a dark night in the Capitol, the Neo-Technologists stormed the Temple and violently overthrew the Pythian regime. Blood ran in the streets. The Pythia cursed Gallifrey with sterility and hurled herself into a prophetic abyss.

Omega was, notably, the only person who looked at the aftermath and said, 'Hmm. I don't think I like how violent this is.'

Still, the revolution had happened. With Rassilon and a third figure known only as the Other, Omega formed the new ruling Triumvirate. But make no mistake—he didn't want power. He just wanted to finish his equations.

🖐️ The Hand of Omega

While Rassilon was busy farting around with politics and naming things after himself, Omega was designing the Hand of Omega—a stellar manipulator capable of collapsing stars into controlled singularities. This was Gallifrey's golden ticket: the power source needed to make time travel a reality.

But during a test of the Hand, something went catastrophically wrong (whether by accident or subterfuge). The star collapsed into a black hole, and Omega vanished, presumed dead.

🕳️ The Anti-Matter Exile

Shocker! Omega wasn't dead. He had fallen into a universe of pure antimatter. There, he made two chilling discoveries:

His physical body no longer existed.

No one was coming to help.

Trapped in a realm of unreality, with no mass, no matter, and no tea, Omega's consciousness endured. But so did his bitterness. Over time, isolation twisted into rage. Gallifrey had abandoned him, stolen his legacy, and left him to decay.

And, well... be fair. That is what happened.

⚔️ Showdowns with the Doctor

📍 First Contact (…Sort Of)

Millennia later, Omega attempted to break back into the real universe, draining Time Lord energy to fuel his return. The Time Lords responded with their best emergency measure: summoning three incarnations of the Doctor and giving them the vague instruction 'please fix this'.

The Doctors discovered Omega's body no longer existed. The Doctor (specifically, the Second) accidentally left behind a recorder—a physical object—which destabilised Omega's anti-matter realm and collapsed it around him.

He was not amused, but he did survive.

📍 Return Visit

Still very much not dead, Omega later hacked into the Matrix with the help of the Toymaker (or rather, someone with the same face), hijacked the Doctor's biodata, and built himself a new body using said biodata as a template. He materialised briefly on Earth, looking suspiciously Doctor-like.

Unfortunately, matter-based flesh doesn't sit well with anti-matter souls, and somehow, the genius Omega hadn't caught onto that idea yet. His body decayed rapidly, and the Doctor used an anti-matter converter to fling him back into the void. Again.

Since then, Omega has attempted multiple methods to return from the antimatter universe, but he has never succeeded.

➕Though Also...

According to some accounts, after his original encounters with Omega, the Sixth Doctor learned that there was evidence suggesting Omega might be his grandpappy. Whether or not that's true is anyone's guess, though the Doctor was notably a bit of an Omega fan in his youth.

💕We Love Omega!

Yes, he's tried to destroy Earth/the Universe/a few timelines. But let's recap:

He invented the technology that powers Gallifrey.

He enabled time travel.

He was abandoned by his society.

And then he got blamed for being upset about it.

Omega is Gallifrey's greatest genius, and its greatest loss. He is also the universe's most powerful introvert, and possibly the single most compelling argument for robust anti-matter mental health services.

We love Omega. We can't wait to see what he does next.

🌺 Women in Paganism: Revered, Sacred, Sovereign

There’s something profound about hearing a man say, “I became Pagan because of how they treat their women.” Not just how they include them, not just how they see them — but how they revere them.

It’s a statement that feels simple on the surface, but it’s rooted in centuries of deep, sacred rebellion. Because for many of us — whether witches, priestesses, spirit-workers, or simply women walking our own paths — that honoring of the feminine wasn’t something we were taught. It was something we had to fight to remember.

And Paganism, in all its many shapes and lineages, offers a homecoming. A return to the knowing that womanhood is not a burden, a punishment, or a stain. It is a birthright of power. It is sacred. It always has been.

🔮 The Divine Feminine Is Not a Footnote

In most Abrahamic religions, womanhood is tightly bound to restriction. Women are often framed as lesser, as temptresses, as helpers or vessels for a man’s legacy. Whether it’s Eve being blamed for the fall of mankind or female clergy being denied equal roles, many spiritual paths have, intentionally or not, placed women a step below.

But Paganism doesn’t just tolerate women. It centers them. It celebrates them as reflections of the Goddess, as keepers of life, and as wielders of death and rebirth.

Whether you honor Hekate, Brigid, Isis, Freya, Inanna, Ereshkigal, the Morrigan, or countless others — these deities aren’t merely wives or mothers in service to male gods. They are forces of their own. War mothers. Death queens. Witch goddesses. Flame-keepers. Star-bringers. Gatewalkers.

To walk a Pagan path is to step into a worldview where your body, your cycles, your voice, your pain, your pleasure, your rage, and your wisdom are reflections of divinity itself.

You are not less because you are woman. You are more because you remember.

🕯 From Priestess to Oracle: Women's Sacred Roles in the Ancient World

History remembers priest-kings and prophets — but too often, it forgets the priestesses and oracles who spoke before them.

In ancient Pagan cultures, women were often the first spiritual authorities. They were the healers, the seers, the midwives, the herbalists, the soul-guides, and the guardians of mystery schools.

The Delphic Oracle in Greece was a woman — the Pythia — whose words shaped empires.

In Druidic and Celtic traditions, female seers and warriors were not unusual but celebrated.

In Ancient Egypt, the high priestesses of Isis and Hathor held immense spiritual and political power.

In pre-Christian Slavic and Baltic lands, wise women (volkhvas, vedmas, znakharkas) led village rites.

Even in Norse myth, the volva — the wandering witch-woman — carried the threads of fate herself.

To say that women had a place in ancient Paganism is an understatement. They were not background characters. They were the altar, the offering, and the hand that held the flame.

🌿 Paganism & the Body: The Sacred Temple of Woman

Where many spiritual traditions treat the body as something to “transcend” or “purify,” Paganism roots the sacred in the flesh.

Your womb is an altar. Your blood is a ritual. Your aging is a rite of passage. Your pleasure is a spell. Your voice is a sacred sound.

Paganism sees no shame in menstruation, sexuality, or desire. There is no “fall” from grace because you inhabit a woman’s body — in fact, that body is a living embodiment of nature’s rhythms.

🛡 Witch Trials and Reclamation

Of course, patriarchy wasn’t always absent. Many Pagan societies were also patriarchal in structure. But something changed with the rise of institutional Christianity and its war on folk beliefs — especially those kept alive by women.

The witch trials weren’t just about magic. They were about control. Control of the land, of healing, of midwifery, of sexuality, of wisdom. And the bearers of that wisdom were so often women.

Thousands were burned, drowned, hung, and silenced.

But here’s what the flame couldn’t take: The remembering. The rage. The roots.

Today, modern witchcraft is not just spellwork — it’s spiritual resistance. It’s reclaiming power, especially the power of the feminine, from centuries of suppression.

💫 Modern Paganism: The Place of Women Today

In today's Pagan communities, women lead again — in rituals, in education, in spiritual business, and in the creation of spaces that honor the sacred feminine without shame or fear.

We see the rise of:

Goddess temples and priestess lineages

Women-led covens and queer-inclusive rituals

Body-positive, sex-positive, age-inclusive spirituality

Women returning to ancestral traditions as healers, storytellers, and rootworkers

Women are not waiting for permission to be holy. We are writing our own myths, walking with our ancestors, and remembering that we are both witch and temple.

✨ Final Thoughts: Women Are Not Empowered — They Are Sacred

We don’t practice Paganism because it makes us feel empowered. We practice because it reminds us that we were always divine.

To be a woman in Paganism isn’t to fight for scraps of power. It is to sit at the table of the gods. It is to stir the cauldron. It is to raise the dead. It is to midwife worlds. It is to bleed and birth and become.

We are not honored in spite of being women. We are honored because we are the very essence of life, death, and magic.

So to every woman reading this — to every witch, every seer, every crone, every maiden, every mother of body or dream:

You are not too much. You are the miracle. You are the memory. You are the magic.

Blessed be. And never let them forget it.

Amazons #2Hippolyta’s War belt

Hippolyta was the offspring of Ares and Oretra. Her father Ares admired his daughters ferocity and battle skills, and gifted her a magic Zoster (war belt) which gave her superhuman strength, and signified her superiority, and role as leader of the Amazons.

Hippolyta and her sacred war belt appear in Hercules tales, in his 9th labor. According to Appollodorus’ Library (1st-2nd century AD) Hercules, being born from Zeus’s infidelity, was despised by Hera. As punishment, the goddess drove the hero mad, whereby he mistakenly killed his family in a fit of rage. Seeking atonement, he ventured to the Oracle of Delphi, where the Pythia (oracle) told him to serve Eurystheus for 12 years and perform the 10 tasks imposed upon him. For His 9th labor, the king sent Hercules to retrieve Hippolyta’s war belt for the king’s daughter Admeta desired it.

Hercules, and a ship of heroes venture to the city of the Amazons, Themiscyra, on the river Thermodon. Putting in at harbor, the Amazons greet the ship and Queen Hippolyta comes aboard to parlay. Hercules explains his labor quest and intentions, and because Hippolyta reveres the man, she agrees to freely offer the war belt as a gift. But Hercules’ enemy, the goddess Hera, is displeased with this camaraderie. She transforms into an Amazon warrior, and slithers through the ranks of the women warriors, spreading a rumor that Hercules has come to kidnap the Queen. Fearing for their leader, the Amazons rush the ship to retrieve her, and Hercules, suspecting treachery, assumes he has been betrayed. He kills Hippolyta, takes her belt, and after fighting off the Amazons, casts off, sailing away.

As usual with ancient myths, there are further variations on Hippolyta’s myth placing either her or her sister Antiope as a conquest of Theseus, who, again, depending on the version, either seduces or abducts her and takes her back to Athens to wed, ultimately resulting in Amazons sailing to invade Athens in the Attic War, one of a few examples of an Amazonomachy (Amazon battle) found in Ancient Greek myth and art.

Powerful women from the classical world + excerpt of a letter from Lord Byron to Thomas Moore describing his lover Margarita Cogni (Venice, September 19th, 1818):

“I wish you a good night, with a Venetian benediction, ‘Benedetto te, e la terra che ti fara!’ — ‘May you be blessed, and the earth which you will make!’ — is it not pretty? You would think it still prettier if you had heard it, as I did two hours ago, from the lips of a Venetian girl, with large black eyes, a face like Faustina’s, and the figure of a Juno — tall and energetic as a Pythoness, with eyes flashing, and her dark hair streaming in the moonlight — one of those women who may be made any thing. I am sure if I put a poniard into the hand of this one, she would plunge it where I told her, — and into me, if I offended her. I like this kind of animal, and am sure that I should have preferred Medea to any woman that ever breathed.”

The mythical and historical allusions:

In Roman myth, Juno was Queen of the Gods as well as a military figure often depicted armed. In Greek myth, Medea was a sorceress who gets revenge against her unfaithful husband through murdering their children and his lover. Although “Pythoness” could refer to demonic witches in other uses, Byron is using it here as another name for Pythia or the Oracle of Delphi, a divine priestess and the most powerful female office in the ancient world.

Faustina is either a reference to the Younger or the Elder. Faustina the Younger was the wife of Marcus Aurelius; he revered her so much that he gave her enormous power, although later historians (probably falsely) accused her of being a murderer and adulteress. Faustina the Elder was the adoptive mother of Marcus Aurelius and was one of the most beloved Roman women in history, whose coinage often features Juno.

Byron's life and writing in context:

When he was living abroad in self-exile, Byron often sought to entertain his friends back home by sharing his adventures in lurid detail. His vivid letters became well-read throughout the 1800s, and are considered some of his best writing. Travel writing and adventure stories were extremely popular in the 19th century, and even most of Byron’s fiction champions these themes. Living abroad and traveling became marketable parts of Byron's celebrity. He blended his own experiences into his work, and chief among these were his romantic experiences.

Shelley once compared Byron to the Greek myth of Circe when writing in a letter about Byron's excessive amount of pets. Circe was known for seducing men and turning them into animals who roamed around her palace. Like a witch or an alchemist, Byron frequently transformed his lovers into characters through his writing. Like countless others, Margarita Cogni was mythically immortalized through the writer's description of her. She and Byron's other Venetian lovers have become part of the wider Romantic era mythology tradition, like the constantly retold tales of Mary Shelley's invention of Frankenstein, Percy Shelley's drowning, and John Keats' love for Fanny Brawne.

By using references to classical women in this letter Byron is not only paying tribute to mythology, history, and the Italian landscape in a way that his foreign audience would find tantalizing, but he is also exploring romanticized notions of classical female beauty which are at turns conventional and unconventional. He channels the gothic sublime through the otherworldly power and danger these women all represent, as well as channeling more traditional concepts of feminine strength rooted in modesty, beauty, and passivity. Byron creates poetic contradictions.

Just as he famously describes himself as “changeable, being everything by turns and nothing long,” he utilizes paradox and inconstance in his writing, such as in this satirical formulation of Margarita Cogni as the ideal lover who is both Goddess and woman, mistress and slave, contemporary and classical, masculine and feminine, wife and adulteress, murderess and murdered.

One can clearly see how this is the same chameolonic, binary-blurring poet who would go on to write the gender-bending themes of Don Juan — “If people contradict themselves, can I / Help contradicting them, and every body, / Even my veracious self?” — and who years beforehand had written She Walks in Beauty — where “all that’s best of dark and bright / Meet in her aspect and her eyes.”

Kita looked down where their hands met, then up at Moriah. “I know you and Ipati aren’t— but— have you ever liked anyone? I’m just admittedly curious.”  It truly was a personal question this time and that came as a surprise to Moriah. She answered, “No. No, I’ve…” It was her turn now to look away, down at her hands “…Never met a man who interests me in those regards.” Kita leaned forward. “But…there are so many more kinds of people than just men.” 

not the scene pictured, but I do love this little section of dialogue so I'm tacking it on anyway :) Merry Christmas, @the-commonplace-book!!!! Thank you for being the best writing partner anyone could ever ask for (and the best platonic partner, too!!) Here, we finally have a drawing of Kita and Moriah! :D

Kita and Moriah are OCs from the sci fi series the two of us are working on. Kita (left) is a pythia from the planet Thol. Moriah is the queen of Ceres. We had no idea these two would hit it off so well when we put them in a room together but, uh, here we are.
