May Week 1 - Understanding Magical Symbols

Apologies for the lateness of this post! I’ve been working some overtime and dealing with a lot of personal and family issues. But I am working ahead on everything this week so the posts will be done and queued!

This week’s focus is on magical symbols of all kinds, their origins, meanings, how to use them and so on. Without further ado, let’s dive in!

Part 1 - Lab Notebook

So let’s make a list of the various types of symbols we already know about. Think about them. Runes? Sigils? What other magical symbols do you know of? The alchemical symbols? Put this list on a separate piece of paper inside your notebook. Expand it as necessary when you find more types of symbols to add.

On a page in your notebook, dedicate one to the symbols listed below.

alchemical symbols

runes

sigils

the ogham script

One each of those pages, write out what you already know about each of those, then expand on that and learn a little more about each one of them. For the sigils page, write out how you have learned to make them or, all the methods to making them, as there are various methods.

Dig deep with these, but also, give it your personal touch. I have created my own magical symbol that I place on things for various reasons, but mostly for protection.

Part 2 - Origins, Meanings, Adaptations

Look into the origins of the runes (example: the elder futhark runes), sigils, and alchemical symbols. Add this information to your pages. Along with that, look into the meanings of the various symbols and make a list of them if you choose, that you can look back on for reference or study and memorize. Continue further and look into various adaptations of these symbols through history. Let this be the bulk of this week’s study, learn as much as you can!

Part 3 - Use

What are the purpose and uses of these symbols through history and today? How have they changed or stayed the same? And why do you think that is? How can you incorporate any or all of these into your own practice?

Part 4 - Practical: Make Some Sigils/ Runes/ Symbols

Using the methods you have learned about, make some symbols of your own to use in your practice. Anything from a single symbol to a small set of them, or even an entire alphabet! Have fun with this. Incorporate color and other elements in the creation of your sigils to give it purpose and personal power! Feel free to share these if you like!

Part 5 - Meditate/ Journal

It is spring! The rain is falling, the sun is shining and the plants are growing. Let’s continue to meditate and journal on spring, the idea of rebirth, growth and abundance in our lives and in our practice. What does spring mean to you? What does it bring or take away from you? What can you learn from the natural world around you as spring embraces the world completely?

Okay! That wraps up week one! We will continue with more prompts next week and stay tuned this week for another bonus prompt!

October 16: Angel | Lullaby

@morrotober​

Based off @emisnt2 's green cousins sun and moon AU, BUUUUUT it's solely focused on Morro’s origins first before the in-timeline mentions of their divinity. I decided to also draw something for it.

Here's the fanfic: AO3 Link

Some rambling and other stuff are under the cut!

AFTER ALL THESE YEARS. I'VE FINALLY FINISHED IT. I decided to end it in the worst possible way than the more depressing undertones of the fic. I think I can write it in another prompt, because this one has gotten WAY too long for me to tame and beta, so you're getting it not beta-read. If I do have motivation I’d probably beta-read and proofread some of it but you’re getting it the way you’re getting it. I’m tired and I want to move on.

By the way the drawing doesn’t show the clothes emi’s made for him because 1) he went through a traumatizing event. I don’t think he can wear garments as elaborate as that. 2) He literally just died 3) he was still mortal before Wu intervened and gave him spectacular clothing. By the way the person hugging him is Wu. you can guess what he’s currently sobbing about.

I maaay have accidentally veered off the prompts just a little, but... it's still THERE, specifically the Angel tidbit. I am so sorry lmao you're getting a story where 4k words of the ending that was hastily not actually the real ending of the tale was written today. However this also means I'm free and I can write about other prompts. Oh thank goodness.

Also I checked the word count and I almost got a heart attack. THAT IS 15K WORDS. YOU BETTER BLOW IT UP. I REALLY DIDN’T EXPECT TO WRITE THIS LONG FOR A PROMPT. This was only supposed to be a prompt what have i done...

Morro’s origins are inspired by a Ket folktale from Siberia about the Sun Maiden and the Crescent Moon. It's a very depressing and sad story about a sun Maiden falling in love with a mortal boy but... now we're just going through spoiler territory over what happened to Morro, hm? I haven't found any detailed summary of the tale (which is good), but there are books about it and other Siberian folktales! The summary I used was Overly Sarcastic Production's video with the same name. Really good stuff by the way I recommend.

Reference picture (i didn’t trace) is here!

[in-sufficientdata]

That entire illustration is sending me help

Like I immediately see parallels to my experience in high school because my freshman English teacher allowed us to sit wherever we wanted

I took to sitting cross-legged on the top of my desk

At some point, after like 2 entire months of this, someone higher up (the principal or superintendent, I suppose) saw me sitting there and told the teacher that he had to make me start sitting in my chair

Anyways that teacher is now a friend of mine on facebook and I now know he has pretty leftist politics, including being accepting of LGBTQ identities

Isn't it funny that a leftist teacher understand that tables can be chairs if the student needs them to be!

May Week 2 - Mash it Up

Okay everyone, this week’s prompts are gonna be a little all over the place, but it’s got some fun stuff packed into it. Let’s dive in.

Part 1 - Make A New Spell

Look back at all the things we’ve studied already (method, ingredients, purpose and so on) and make a new spell for yourself. Is there something you need a little extra help finding? Something you need a little extra help doing? Whatever it is, make a spell to help get yourself over whatever hump you’re facing. Write it out in your lab notebook. Go over it a few times, rework it, act it out, then perform it!

Whatever suits your needs at the current moment, go with it! This week is all going to be some practical things along with study topics.

Part 2 - Magic and Morality

Where do morals come into play in magic? Is it okay to cast spells on others without consent, whether it is to help them or not? What roles do gender play in your magic, if any? What are some of the moral codes you stand by when it comes to magic? Are there certain rules you follow personally? Where did those rules come from? What is your take on sex and love magic? Hexes and curses? Teaching and learning magic?

These are some deep questions that you may or may not immediately have answers to, and that’s okay. Write out either in your lab book or in your journal the answers to these questions or just use them as a topic for a self discussion type entry where you write out where you stand and why to each of those topics.

It’s important to know who we are, and where we stand on all these and other topics. Knowing our moral boundaries is as important to our magical practice as it is to our everyday lives.

Part 3 - Project 2 Cover and Title

Alright so this isn’t so much a study topic as a fun one. If you haven’t already, find a nice piece of paper or a notebook, or whatever you’re using for your grimoire now (or whatever you’re going to use for it in the future) and make a cover for it! It doesn’t have to be super ornate or fancy, and if it is in a leather journal or other book with a pre made cover, just do a title page.

Come up with a title for your grimoire. Mine is so eloquently titled “The Hazel Grimoire” simple and to the point.

Whatever you do with the cover, if you want to fancy it up, add pictures, letters, paint, anything to make it yours and claim it as a piece of your practice!

Part 4 - Notes, notes and more notes

Look back at your magical notes, wherever they are, be they paper, notebooks, or even files on your computer.

And I know... I know... Its gonna sound terrible

BUT ORGANIZE THAT SHIT

Not necessarily a table of contents, but make a list of the topics you already have notes on as you organize them, so they’re easier to come back to when you decide to start learning more, or for when you need to look back for reference. Nerdy as it is, my grimoire has a table of contents at the front so I can easily find the pages I’m looking for

While doing this, if you notice any topics missing, make a second list of topics you intend to start studying and finding information on, that way you have a direction of where to go when you have a little time to study again!

Part 5 - Take a Break

This week was a lot of stuff that takes a lot of energy, so use whatever day this week during your challenge work to take a break from it. Set it aside and just exist, breathe, be. Don’t let this challenge be a stressful thing. Even if you’re not actively participating and saving these prompts for another day, take a break!

That’s all for this week, at least until we start getting into the bonus prompts ;) look forward for those. Thank you all so much for participating.

As always, tag this blog with any progress posts you have so that I can more readily see them, and if you feel obliged to tip me via cashapp for running the challenge, my cashapp is in the description on the desktop site.

Thank you all, my friends, and enjoy the challenge!

Took a little bit of elbow grease but now you can see my beautiful teams in glorious 3D! Once you figure it out it's actually cool how simple it is to get this set up on simple64 and dolphin respectively. especially simple64!

Also it's so frustrating they removed photo mode in Stadium 2 and then just completely do not let you get a good look at your Pokemon AT ALL in Colosseum! The free battle park in S2 is GORGEOUS I wanted to take pictures in it SO BADLY

#pokemon #screenshots #I won't be replaying stadium 1 but i was right the game is SO much more fun with your actual team instead of rental pokemon #I might play stadium 2 cause I've actually NEVER played it prior to today and might I add the models are AMAZING they look like GC models #some of them I could tell were just straight up recycled for Melee and I dont blame them they look that good! #And colosseum I do plan on playing eventually just not right now. I have Gale of Darkness physically so that's nice! #2023 #2022

[prepare4trouble]

So, when writing Spirited fic, how do I refer to the character played by Will Ferrell. Is he “Present” as I’ve seen a few times? Do I go with “Roberto,” the name he plucked out of the air while under pressure? Or by his original name?

Of course, this will change depending on whose point of view we are using. To Kimberley, I think he will be Roberto; that is the name he used to introduce himself and it seems like that’s the name he stuck with. But to Clint, despite how the cards fell toward the end of the movie, I feel like he will always be the ghost of Christmas present. There’s no way Clint will think of himself in that way. It is a job to him, not an identity. To Present, it became his whole identity, but I feel like Clint will always see himself as Clint. And so that makes me wonder, does Present still think of himself as Scrooge? He tried so hard to move on from the version of himself that he used to be, but it is so close that he can go there without even asking for it to be queued up, there is a literal door to his past right there in the office for him to walk through whenever.

That is still who he sees himself as, though I doubt he would ever admit it. At least not to anybody but Clint.
