Bruh the whole using "gay" as an insult bullshit is so 2008. And was a fundamentalist trend in the first place.

Bruh the whole anti-cosmic orthodox satanist bullshit is so 2008. And was a gay trend in the first place.

Bruh I don't care. Not a trend for me like it was for you clearly. Also, orthodox satanist? Lmao.

Two-Headed Calf

by Laura Gilpin

Tomorrow when the farm boys find this freak of nature, they will wrap his body in newspaper and carry him to the museum.

But tonight he is alive and in the north field with his mother. It is a perfect summer evening: the moon rising over the orchard, the wind in the grass. And as he stares into the sky, there are twice as many stars as usual.

This is both good and bad advice.

Good in that life is full of knowledge and fun that you will never experience until you've driven headfirst into something you know nothing about.

Bad in that recklessly dashing into lands unknown is a wonderful way to learn, and also be seriously damaged in some way.

Going back to the car analogy, yes driving a vehicle is inherently dangerous. That's why there are rules and guidelines in place. Speeding can be fun sometimes, but you must understand the risk. Driving offroad is very enjoyable, but not all vehicles can do it safely and it is very difficult in most cases.

Know yourself, understand your limits, then you can push them as far as you want.

I think witchcraft can become dangerous when you reach deeper into the unknown and dabble with what you have limited or no understanding of.

But then again, there are things that you simply can't learn without experiencing and experimenting. One could say that many great scientific discoveries were made by taking chances and risks.

It's also kind of like driving. Every time you get behind the wheel of a car and onto the road, you can't predict what you're going to run into. But what are the chances of a catastrophe that you won't walk away from? I'd say the odds are mostly in your favor.

i wanted to make this its own post bc not enough readers acknowledge this.

tarot is not infallible. tarot readers are not infallible. treating tarot as an absolute rather than a suggestion is dangerous.

we are truly blessed that Depeche Mode and Nine Inch Nails spent so much of the early 90s making music specifically for kinky goth bisexuals with complicated relationships with organized religion

Don’t let them say about the man condemned to death: “He is going to pay his debt to society,” but: “They’re going to chop his head off.” It may seem like nothing. But it does make a little difference. There are some people who prefer to look their destiny straight in the eye.

When you run after your thoughts, you are like a dog chasing a stick: every time a stick is thrown, you run after it. Instead, be like a lion who, rather than chasing after the stick, turns to face the thrower. One only throws a stick at a lion once.

“What of immortality, that last refuge of those who have known too few pleasures and too many sufferings, and who dream of finding some compensation in another world? It is easy to understand how people who have grown up in prejudice and with but little confidence in science, which has so often deceived them, people who are led by feeling rather than thought, reject an explanation which takes from them their last hope.”

It would be fascinating to examine history and find just how many people would fit the exact descriptions given in old Testament prophecies.

Christ being prophetized in the Old Testament is not Prisca Theologia or occultist thing, it's literally one of the basics of Christian belief. I'm stating a Wikipedia article level fact here.

Messianic prophecies are not the presence of Christ.
