Okay, so, I know all the answers to the 20 Questions for Witch-Folk, but I decided to make my sister give me three random numbers! :D So, the questions you have to answer are: 3, 4, and 12! ^_^

3. Is there a particular element you seem to gravitate towards or work with most?
~ Earth and Fire most often. Which happens to be the elements of my cusp. ^_^

4. Is there an element you work with the least?
~ Air. I’m not sure why Air and I don’t get along that well, but there it is.

12. Have you ever run into any stereotypes or problems relating to your beliefs?
~ “Devil worshipper!” comes to mind first. 

Also, she didn’t pick #2 (her number) and I find I am shocked and slightly dismayed by this. ;P

okay i usually don’t like these kinds of posts but i was having a discussion with some friends from different part of the country/world sooo….. 

reblog and put in the tags where you’re from/whether or not you consider the tap water clean enough to drink I am actually genuinely curious. I’m from florida and i’ve been told that it’s usually unsafe to drink unfiltered. 

Hurricane Nate

It’s official: Nate is now a hurricane.

All my followers and mutuals on the gulf coast and southeast inland keep an eye on the weather forecast. Even at a category 1 this storm can still cause a lot of damage, knock out power, and bring strong winds and spin up tornadoes.

Be safe out there and I’ll try to keep everyone updated that we’re safe through tonight and tomorrow when Nate makes landfall. (“Personal Updates” is the tag I’ll be using for those posts.)

Lessons the Pluto Retrograde Taught Me

Pluto retrograde was definitely a transformative time for me, personally. I didn’t even realize it was in retro until I read something about it going direct soon. 
When I looked back on the last six months I realized the profound impact of it in hindsight, which as we all know is always 20/20. To see the changes I made and the ties I cut to help better myself… it’s amazing.

I literally dug out the metaphorical hooks that tied me to certain people and felt the pain physically in my body for a whole day. I left behind the connections to friendships I thought were unshakable and started to deal with the fallout I’d been left with. I forcibly removed someone I had thought of as my brother for a decade and let the wounds of his manipulative actions begin to heal finally. I started to take a long hard look at my relationship with my mother and admit that there are wounds there that need tending and healing.

All of these things were a long time coming and I can tell the difference it makes. There are a lot of hard lessons I’ve had to learn the last six months…
Like sometimes people hurt you because they’re hurting and sometimes they’re just self-centered manipulative assholes that don’t deserve you. It’s okay to admit your fault in a situation, but when there’s no closure to be safely had you have to move on and let shit go… It’s better for everyone that way. Realizing someone you loved, especially a parent, has been emotionally abusive for most of you life sucks… a lot. Those wounds take a lot of time to start healing and it’s okay to step back and take time to process things. 

I know now where the emotional heaviness of the last few days has come from (and my physical exhaustion too) it’s the realization that I’ve dealt with a lot of really heavy things and there’s still work to be done, but I’ve started the hard work of healing and I’m not about to turn back now. Thank you for reading.

the aesthetic of american far right christianity is horrifying

run-down signs screaming about hell in the middle of nowhere is my aesthetic though

You don’t know true pants-shitting fear until you’re driving in the middle of nowhere, not a single sign of civilization as far as the eye can see, haven’t seen another living being in three hours, and then out of nowhere suddenly looms a half-destroyed barn with the words “HELL IS REAL” painted on what remains of the roof.

I’ll be honest, you could say most of these were from a horror game and I wouldn’t doubt you. 

Implying America isn’t a horror game lately.

America isn’t a game. It is just a horror.

#i feel like you would appreciate this

YEP.

hey so fun fact about that last one

it’s located right by the I-75 highway and anyone driving in or out of cincinnati could see it from the road and it was horrifying the first time i saw it because i felt like i was about to die.

the statue was called king of kings, but i only ever heard it referred to as touchdown jesus. just imagine yourself kicking a football through those lofty open arms…..ohio 1, satan 0.

in 2010 touchdown jesus was very sadly struck by lightning and burned down, possibly because so many heathens were calling him touchdown jesus and imagining playing football with the lord. or possibly because that’s just what happens when you build a giant styrofoam and fiberglass statue next to an artificial pond on a hill in the middle of rural ohio.

fortunately our good friends down in englewood have contingency plans for god’s wrath and the end of the world, so they built a new statue named lux mundi. unfortunately, lux mundi is not as amped to play football.

but he does look like he’s down for hugs.

RIP, touchdown jesus. we miss you. 😢

The skeletal remains of touchdown Jesus is one of the more horrifying things I’ve seen.

Clearly a lot of y’all ain’t from the South, lol. These are everywhere. The “Go To Church” one is between Birmingham, AL and the Florida line.

The one someone mentioned along I-40? There are like 40 of those all along it and I-75.

And I grew up in memphis, goin to Belleveue Baptist, who started a lot of the cross things with these monstrosities.

The middle one is 90 ft. tall and the two others are 60 ft., iirc. These are right along I-40 on the east side of the city.

My hometown also boasts the “Statue of Liberation” down near the Mississippi line, lol.

While I really abhor the crosses like this cause I think they’re austentacious and ridiculous, the other signage also has a feel of “home” for me. I roll my eyes when I see it, but when I’ve been out of the South for a whole, it’s almost comforting in a strange way.
