The Ultimate Grimoire Guide

So! I have been seeing a ton of grimoire ideas and thought I’d stuff them all together. A lot of ideas are from @manifestationsofasort, @banebite, and @pigeonflavouredcake. Check them out! They have a ton of cool stuff there.

What Do I Use For My Grimoire?

You can use anything for a grimoire! For a physical one, journals, binders, and notebooks are good. For digital ones, Notion, Tumblr, Docs, and even just your file folder are great.

When one thinks about "ancient" Native American civilizations and ruins... the thing is that... most of them, they weren't ancient. The Inca were not fully conquered by the Spanish until 1572... for reference, the Mona Lisa was painted in 1502 and Martin Luther made the 95 Theses in 1517.. the "ancient" Aztec Empire was younger than the university of Oxford founded in the 11th century, Montezuma lived at the same time than Leonardo Da Vinci... There are castles that are younger than Machu Picchu, those cities were inhabited by millions just a few centuries ago, and some (Cuzco, México), many actually, are still inhabited today. People speak about the Ancient Maya as if it was some mysterious civilization that was lost, and while it was past its prime at the time of European conquest, the Maya still had city-states and were living in the same areas they live today.

There are still millions of people, right now, who speak Quechua, Nahuatl, and Maya in all their dialects, and I'm just talking about the three most well-known civilizations here... there are millions of Native Americans who still speak their languages and practice their culture and beliefs alive, both thriving and struggling today.

Talking about the "Ancient Inca" or "Ancient Aztecs" makes as much sense as talking about the "Ancient Dutch" or the "Ancient Swedes", and it's another way of erasing them, saying that they just aren't around anymore just like say the Sumerians, or that they just weren't relevant to world history. They were contemporaries to modernity and they're still alive today.

You can talk about the Ancient Olmecs or Ancient Chavín though. Because the Inca and the Aztecs are relatively "modern" but their cultures were just the latest from a cycle of civilizations stretching millenia before Christ.

on behalf of the andes, exclusionists of every stripe are not welcome here.

the gender binary !

the advent of labeling sexuality !

NEITHER of these things existed in the time of my ancestors in tawantinsuyu. FUCK your fear of people being people.

you may take your xenophobia and go. may llamas spit on you. FUCK you.

prosh*ppers can mikhunki q'awa!

[brujoenlafrontera]

Uncu from the 17th century made after the Fall of the Inka Empire (Tawantinsuyu) during the time of the Viceroyalty of Peru (Spanish Imperial District).

[brujoenlafrontera]

people don't make them (uncu / andean tunic) like they used to. 😭

fun fact: the tunic varies by region but the one that i just shared has only the hole for the neck, no sleeves, and isn't sewn together at the edges (like most shirts typically are), and when worn, it was probably tied with a chumpi / woven belt. it goes down to the knees.

according to wikipedia, the anaku (a dress worn by inca nobles who were typically women) has been preserved in otavalo's cultural heritage. in otavalo, it is called the anaco, and the chumpi is called the faja.

it didn't have anything to say about the uncu 😭. gone but not forgotten.

Destruction of Christopher Columbus statue on the square in his name

[Arica, Chile, Nov. 2019]

[brujoenlafrontera]

i didn't mind it at first, but that was beginning to get on my nerves and conscience...

✦

anywayz,

fun fact:

though there were possibly people in tawantinsuyu keeping wildcats as pets, maybe trying to domesticate them, it didn't pan out. so basically, we didn't have "cats" per say.

there was an attempt made 3,500 years ago by people in the lambayeque region to domesticate one of these wildcats.

the various native wildcats (most about the size of house cats) of South America include:

LEOPARDUS

• margay -- wampurushu

• ocelot -- chinchay , atalla puma , yantana

• andean mountain cat -- usqhullu

• pampas cat -- usqhullu

• oncilla -- tirika , kunawaru

• güiña -- kodkod

• southern tigrina -- usqhullu*

• geoffroy's cat -- usqhullu

HERPAILURUS

• jaguarundi -- tuwi puma

• cougar -- puma

#my great grandfather had a puma :') #quechua
