#I have ascended my soul has been cleansed

[tenshiharmonia]

Here is a little something I'd like to mention in regards to the latest episode. I've seen some people being rather confused by Crimson's statement about Asmodeus being "the weakest and most non-threatening of the Sins", but this is actually something that has some basis in theology. While the exact details vary depending on what era or commentator you consider, it has indeed often been acknowledged that there is a certain hierarchy among the seven cardinal sins. Let's take a look, for example, at what seems to be one of the show's biggest inspirations when it comes to its depiction of Hell : Dante's Divine Comedy. While Inferno drops the explicit mention of the seven deadly sins after the fifth circle, introducing new kinds of evils such as violence, fraud and treachery, this hierarchy is made more apparent when we reach Purgatorio. As you may know, in Dante's vision, Purgatory takes the form of a sacred and impossibly tall mountain, with the garden of Eden at the very top. Before being allowed entrance into the kingdom of Heaven, the penitent soul must first ascend the mountain to cleanse itself of its earthly faults. Along the way, it'll come across seven terraces, each corresponding to one of the seven sins. And this is where the hierarchy becomes especially perceptible. Basically, the idea is that the terraces located near the base of the mountain - and thus the furthest away from God - are dedicated to the expiation of the most heinous of sins, while the upper ones are reserved for the lighter offenses. With that in mind, the order is as follows. The first terrace the ascending soul has to cross is for Pride, the gravest sin of all, and the one that is regarded as the source of all others. Then come Envy and Wrath. Sloth ranks fourth, not because of the sin's inherent severity, but because it allows other evils to happen. Then comes Greed and Gluttony (the former of which should be way "lower" if you ask me, but I guess it's not my call to make XD ), and finally, Lust, the last penance before reaching the holy garden at the top of the mountain. Note that this order is consistent with the first circles of Inferno : after the first circle, reserved for the virtuous but unbaptized souls, the second, third and fourth ones - where damnation truly begins - respectively punish Lust, Gluttony and Greed, while the fifth one holds the melancholics (Sloth) and the cholerics (Wrath). Now, with Lust being regarded as the "less deadly" of the deadly sins, it's only logical for Asmodeus to be regarded as the "weakest" of the seven demon lords… Anyway, that's quite a lot of words (Stolas would be delighted) to explain something that, all in all, is actually fairly simple. XD Not that I will apologize for this verbosity, but at least allow me to thank you for your attention. I hope you found this insight somewhat interesting. I have a huge fascination for this aspect of theology, and the Divine Comedy in particular is a work I hold really dear, so I wasn't going to miss an occasion to talk about it. :p With that being said, take care, everyone. :3

I have two requests for Astarion, but one could be triggering for some (like me unfortunately) but the other request is how would Astarion be with a plus size partner? Could be fluff or sexully which ever one you choose

I can 100% can write this! As a plus-size person myself, I do hope that the fics I've rewritten so far are able to let anyone of any size or skin color be pictured as tav! ♡

protect yourself if it triggers you! Safety first loves!

Warning: dubcon, dark ending Astarion

Within the temple of Kanchelsis, the God of the vampires. Not many vampires are religious types, they are predators who seek to feast and dominate. The last thing most vampires would do is answer or pray to a God. Yet, this group, a clan, keeps to the old ways before the second sundering. Your master was one of them, the Lord to an old clan— Ancient.

In this underground castle, the insane design of it being upside down within the Abyss. You had… No idea where he had kidnapped and trapped you!

You don't even know how you escaped.

The altar is the statue of a large humanoid bat creature with glowing red eyes, a pool of blood that branches out around the room, red mist as if the blood is boiling. There is comfort like in the Shadowfell when the burdens of regrets and loss are stripped from one's soul. 

Though only Astarion can say this place is as normal as a vampire domain goes, more dramatic in the architecture with suck lighting.

You stand before the altar, dressed in a white robe with a mask over your face hiding everything but your glossed-over eyes.

Kanchelsis called you upon the death of Cazador and Astarion's ascension. You, the first child of a vampire with the gift of the beast.

The hunger he felt was nothing compared to the ravaging bloodthirsty beast caged within.

"Welcome child of Szarr," Your arms wide open in greeting, "The first to ascend! How joyous to meet you in your newly accomplished flesh." The voice echoes as your movements match the expression, of glee.

"If you had wanted to see me so bad," His eyes were on your form. If this was a different situation he could spend months appreciating how the white is thin enough to see your body but thick enough to hide the fun bits. It sticks around your shapely form he knows like the back of his own hands.

"Yes, this is why I have chosen this prize," The chuckle is twisted, "This one gifted to be one to restore my hold on your world. The beast has slept for too long. It hungers, you will hold its leash."

"Now why would I do that? No offense but last time we dealt with gods they all were disappointing."

"Because little rat," Hissing out the words, "You wish to conquer the world. To rule the night and day, to dominate all beings both living and dead." Your body moves, levitating above the pool of blood before standing before Astarion. "And I want this for you. You who have completed the rites between master and slave! It has been so long since there has been a true vampire lord to walk your realm." Your hands touch his face, "Fate has decreed you to be my emissary."

The touch makes him feel warmth, not warmth of love but desire.

Kanchelsis is also the deity of debauchery.

"Cast a fog over Baldur's Gate for our children. None shall fear the night they are destined to roam– Under your rule."

Kanchelsis' power is oppressive, a presence Astarion has not felt since killing Cazador.

"They are to be yours, my child of the beast. Your spawn and kindred." Hands going to your chest to part your robes, "Consort and the succor to return my pets."

His fangs hurt, seeing the skin he has tasted and gripped, his hand grabs your shoulders with fingers ready to rip the fabric of this robe and take you.

"Couple within my temple. Rid them of the foul blessing of Lathander on them!" Anger, "Astarion, Vampire Ascendant, Emissary of Kanchelsis." A whisper of pleasure. "Cleanse them and go forth with my child."

Domination and defilement.

There is an ancient rite that grants the gift without needing a vampire. After, the individual will be made to drink from the pool of blood and Kanchelsis will gift the new kindred with a clan. Beast and Enchanter.

Your master performed a similar rite but he only drained you of blood, which only gave you part of Kanchelsis' gift. Tainted enough but not enough to stop Lathander from blessing you.

Kanchelsis will not stand for it! Especially when he has claimed to Astarion to be his Emissary, and with you as his consort: your task is to return the beasts of the sanguine hunger to this realm.

Within the temple, Astarion lays with you. He only touches you when Kanchelsis has released its hold over you,  you panic and freak out over what Kanchelsis plans. It's madness! However, you forgot it is the same goal as Astarion.

He has not changed for the better after the ritual, after freeing the world of the Elder Brain, he is hungry in a new way.

There in this temple, you are once more stripped of what is felt of your choice.

The love Astarion tells you does not help the pain you have ripping into your soul. The sex high drives you further into the maw of the beast, and further you fall from light– Yanked down by your dear beloved.

Betrayal. Why are you surprised? Your master did the same.

Marveled by your figure, the way he could grip every soft plush part of you, the way your cheeks puffed up when you pouted. He consumed a portion of you and now Astarion devours the rest both the parts you replaced and the other parts left over.

Backgrounds With Class: Boros Legionnaire

I'll be honest: Ravnica has always fascinated me. I was a high schooler when the first set came out, and I was immediately consumed creating characters for the setting. Now that we've actually received my long-awaited crossover, I thought it would be nice to write a love letter to the setting in the form of another Backgrounds with Class series. After all: some guilds have natural class choices tied in, from a conceptual standpoint. Boros and Fighter, Izzet and Wizard, Selesnya and Druid. But guilds aren’t class-restricted, and so I wonder what it would look like if you paired every class with every guild background, even the ones that seem at odds, like Izzet and Barbarian, or Gruul and Artificer.  So I thought about it, and this is what I came up with.  Some character concepts for each class, and each Guildmaster's Guide to Ravnica background for each class.

Boros Legionnaire

The Boros Legionnaire Artificer is a walking proof that workers in magic are just as important as workers of brass and steel to the Legion.  Although her magical talents are shorter-lived than her material ones, they are certainly more flexible in the heat of battle.  Armed with a sword she made and backed up by a brass construct in the shape of a large war-hound, she joined the legion to follow in her family’s footsteps- supplying the Legion has always been the family business, and she’s just taken the next logical step testing her creations in the field personally.

The Boros Legionnaire Barbarian has always been a competitive soul.  The Ordruun line of minotaurs has been the standard bearers for their people in the Legion for centuries if not millennia.  This minotaur is not one of those line, and if the truth is told, his motives for joining the Legion have more to do with this family he is not part of than the good he can do serving under the Warleader Aurelia.  Competitive spirit and the raw zeal that the Boros embodied before current leadership ascended are far more familiar to this soldier, and his target is the entire Ordruun line- who he would very much love to show up.

The Boros Legionnaire Bard has always been a perfomer at heart, no matter the purpose of their performance.  A child to Rakdos parents who somehow acquired an overwhelming respect for authority would be absolutely fascinated by the talents of a Boros bugler- equal parts inspiration and mayhem-bringer.  Still, in their way their parents are proud of the literally street-shattering performances their child can put on.  That they happen in the midst of quashing the more violent Rakdos parties at the head of a Boros strike force is bittersweet, but still bombastic.

The Boros Legionnaire Cleric knows that violence is not always the way of the legion.  Certainly, as the military police to all of Ravnica, it is their primary function, but in a guild that deals so matter-of-factly with violence there must be those who protect life and heal both their comrades and those they go to defend.  Dedicated spiritually to aiding those around them, this loxodon healer wears the heaviest armor she can tolerate and carries no weapon but that which she must from her station.  For her, the Legion is and has always been meant to be a shield for those who cannot or dare not raise arms in their own defense, and a poultice laid on any wounds savagery or scheming brings.

The Boros Legionnaire Druid walks a delicate line.  Armed with the Legion’s typical fiery magic, he maintains a delicate balance between his duties and the cycles of Ravnica’s limited wilderness.  He’s a fan of cycles- patrolling territory, keeping routines, bringing both healers’ and embermages’ talents to bear in battle in turn, and even (secretly) inciting unrest to justify cleaning out neighborhoods with unsavory elements.  Familiar with the cycle of burn-cleanse-grow of ancient forest destruction and regrowth, this centaur is as tied to the green space of Ravnica as tightly as any gruul anarch or selesnya initiate; he just views the city as subject to the same natural cycle.

The Boros Legionnaire Fighter was always a runt among his kin- noble cyclops blood adulterated by too many ogres and humans through the centuries, he barely breaks eight feet tall and will never see the immense stature of his two-story ancestors.  Still, he’s a natural hand at the forge and an avid student of his runes, so he has unique talents to bring to bear against the Legion’s enemies.  He hopes, secretly, that studying the ancient language-magic of his people will lend some of their more storied traits.

The Boros Legionnaire Monk is a bearer of the light so often spoke of among the Legion.  Raised in the strictest traditions of a multigenerational family of wojeks, it was always assumed that she would take her inner light and cast it about to find the darker sides of her peers and serve as one of the Legion’s investigators.  Instead she’s proven her talents again and again as a natural complement to her allies’ heavy armor and broad shields, darting across and through the battlefield with a sword in hand and a growing trail of radiance behind her.  Perhaps one day the light will be able to do more than show her trail, but she’s content to serve until it shows in its fullness.

The Boros Legionnaire Paladin has sworn an oath, as paladins are wont to do, to Aurelia herself.  An oath of service, of fealty, of devotion, naturally.  However, it paints him in an uncommon light- as one of Ravnica’s unquiet dead, a zombie still shambling around tied to a deteriorating body and encrusted with mold that peels and bleaches in the sun, he should be among the Golgari.  A memory is all that stands between him and that path- one of battle, sprinting with great urgency, with an angel at their backs and surrounded by warriors in gleaming armor.

The Boros Legionnaire Ranger wasn’t taught to stalk, to hunt, and to use the bow.  They come naturally, a strange talent for a human from the grittiest part of Precinct Six, raised near an iron foundry.  Still, his talents are unrefined, and formal training at Sunhome has taught him to bring them to bear on the legion’s behalf, stalking and occasionally killing Ravnica’s malcontents and anarchists into the Rubblebelts and beyond.  When not tasked with a mission such as this, there is always work as a support for a squad on the street, but he hungers for larger quarries than Tin street gangs and the occasional belligerent ogre.

The Boros Legionnaire Rogue lives by the motto “who dares, wins.”  Daring bordering on foolhardy, even for a goblin, she is known for pelting ahead of her comrades to bring her dual swords to bear against the enemy before all others have their chance.  Boastful and proud to match her admittedly sterling reputation as a promising candidate among duellists, she’s broadly disliked among the other cadets for how she seems to dodge the due punishments for defying orders.

The Boros Legionnaire Sorcerer was exposed to heavenly fire as a child- the consecrated flames of a firemane angel’s blade set alight the wagon in which her family dwelt, and her burns were grievous.  As the rest of her family was a small Gruul clan that had just rampaged through a city block, that same angel had just finished leading the counterattack that cost her parents her life.  Years later, fully aware of the source of her burgeoning powers and how she acquired them, she joined the legion, facing that same angel as she proved her ability with the fire that scorched her.

The Boros Legionnaire Warlock met Aurelia of the Legion for the first time as a child.  At this first meeting, when she told the warleader of the Rakdos ‘surprise party’ waiting around the corner, the angel gave her a feather from her wing for her vigilance and aid to the legion.  From that first meeting, she knew that the Legion was her way out of the chaos-wracked Precinct Four and joined the legion as soon as she was able.  There, swearing her oaths of service, she reaffirmed her commitment to Aurelia herself, and the angel honored the oath with a pact.  Now she serves proudly as embermage and medic both- whichever is needed for the engagement, she brings to bear.

The Boros Legionnaire Wizard serves as a critical component of the Boros war machine- the one that keeps their troops from being torn apart by Golgari necromancers or Gruul druids.  Armed with countermagic and explosive battlemagic like few others, this dispassionate vedalken warmage is known for his poker face- in battle, his face is a mask beyond which no insight penetrates.  Despite his apparently frozen demeanor in battle, his heart burns no less brightly than his comrades’, and he shows it in the rare moments between battles when he remembers who he’s protected.

The Drowning (and Descension) of Lilith. Drown the witch.

I've been debating what bits and bobs of Lilith's lore to include here, but I think I'm going to include this tidbit and tweak it to fit;

The official lore (roughly summarized):

Sometime after Lilith fled from Eden, Adam cried to God that he is lonely and wants her back. God, hearing Adam, sends three angels (Senoy, Sansenoy, and Semangelof) to retrieve Lilith and return her to the Garden. They approach Lilith and are disgusted to find she is surrounded by hordes of demonic spawn of her creation, but regardless, they demand that she return to Adam. Lilith refuses, and they threaten to drown her if she refuses the command, but Lilith still refuses.

My rework & headcanon, including the moment of when it was she ascended ( or rather, "descended" ) from her mortal coil, with addition of where she obtained her more demonic form:

Adam, despite having been attacked by Lilith, complained to the Angels that he wanted her back - he was lonely and desired her, still. His "pleading" was heard, considered, and agreed to.

The night has freshly fallen, a time of day that Lilith has long since favored, naturally slipping into its circadian rhythm since the departure from Eden. The Higher Angels send Senoy, Sansenoy, and Semangelof to retrieve Lilith when Lucifer is not around and demand that she return to Adam, return to Eden. Of course, Lilith refuses. They attempt to convince her, relentless in their efforts, and again she refuses.

Asmodeus and Beelzebub are very little at this stage, gently clinging to their mother's legs and watching these strange Angels pursue Lilith, confused and intimidated by their holy presence. The three Angels take notice of them and feel immediate revulsion at their existence. It was passed down the holy grapevine that Lilith had begun to spin unnatural life into existence, but only few of of the higher ranks had actually spotted them. A "fox" that was discolored and failed in solidification, and a chimeric rooster with faces in his fiery hair. What cursed creatures. How could Lilith be so cruel to breathe life into these unfortunate souls? Did they even have souls?

Noting their revolt, Lilith slipped into a protective energy. She firmly told the Angels to take their leave, she was not going back to Eden.

"Refuse us again and we will drown you and your spawn, Lilith. Please," they pleaded with her, their threat setting into Lilith's chest like a boulder as they spoke with tones that were remorseful and gentle. "return to Eden. Despite what you have done, we will forgive you - Adam will forgive you. Return to whence you came. We will cleanse you."

Their voices were so gentle, and yet their words turned Lilith's blood to ice. Fear flamed in her belly. 'Drown' was a new word, but like all words, the definition unfolded in her mind like all language had done. 'Drown'? The Angels would drown her? Her actions were worth her being treated violently? And it would not only be her that suffered, but her children. They would 'drown' her children? Make all three of them perish? Angels would do this to them, to the newborns?

No. No. How could she ever feel safe with them, knowing they would do this? They would, wouldn't they? If they allowed Adam to force his will upon her, 'drowning' is not out of their reach, is it?

No.

Lilith was terrified, but resolved. She guarded her children, hair wrapping around them. "I will not."

There was something that looked like remorse in their faces, or maybe it was an imitation, it's barely given any thought which it might be. Lilith had no time for a reaction, the ground left her and her children were left screeching as she was torn from their arms. Gasping was the wrong thing to do in the moment, her lungs were filled with water as the cold surface of the Red Sea was broken in with her plunge. There was a great grip on her neck pushing her beneath the waves, and golden chains fabricating from the depths to lock her ankles, and drag her deep. Asmodeus and Beelzebub, trapped in Senoy and Sansenoy's hold, reached desperately for their mother as she faded quickly from sight. Their cries were faint through the rush of bubbles in Lilith's ears. She saw blue fire consume Senoy, and flecks of gold as Beelzebub bit into Sansenoy's arm, and the three Angels depart with the young demons before her vision blurred.

Desperately, Lilith would summon her wings and pull against the chains that dragged her into the deep, digging deep into her ankles and sizzling the flesh. This is not where she would die, this was not going to be where she ended - and her children would not suffer such a frightening fate. Lilith refused, and the unholy power that had been blooming inside of her since she drew first blood in Eden agreed.

Lilith's lungs filled with water and depleted all lasting oxygen, settling deep into her body. The warmth that had been declining since her departure faded, and her heartbeat slowed itself until it nearly stopped. The purple of her eyes bled into the sclera, and serpentine pupils were embraced by beaming silver. The surrounding water pulsed in time with her unnatural heartbeat - it responded to Lilith.

She pulled at her chains that began to splinter and spike, and eventually shatter as she yanked her bleeding, gored ankles free. With great speed, she escaped to the surface to find her children.

The three Angels had been intercepted by a bewildered Lucifer, who in vain tried to retrieve the poor distressed children held captive in a merciless hold, and tried to find out the whereabouts of Lilith. The Angels advised that he return to his duties, there was no need to concern himself with these matters - they were acting on Heaven's behalf, as Beelzebub and Asmodeus screamed in their grip.

It was a nasty surprise to find long horns suddenly surging between the three of them, scattering them to the sides as the mother swept in and reclaimed her children, bleeding from her crown from newly grown horns. She took to Lucifer's side, cursing the three from the Red Sea. She made it firmly known that she was not returning to Eden, and she would not be drowned by a sea that she called home, and neither would her children.

The Angels could see that there had been a shift in Lilith; she had been changing slowly since Eden, slowly at first once she deviated from her set path and her repeated defiance of Adam's will, and it worsened after she drank of his blood in such a vicious attack. To them, something dark and unknown had taken hold of her spirit and soul, and now bloomed to fruition. Beastly horns upon her head and unseemly eyes. She was a woman claimed by the wilds of the roughened world, and that was alarming. To slay her on the spot is what they should have done, but Sera called them back to Heaven, and they let the small, shaken family be.

Lilith was now too soiled to return to the Garden, irredeemable, and became disregarded as the Mother of Humanity. She would be replaced by Eve, who would not be made from the same dust as Adam, but taken from his rib.

This night is what would solidify Lilith's decision to encourage Eve to eat the fruit of knowledge. A woman trapped in that Garden with such a man and untrustworthy keepers was dangerous, they had to at least give her a shot. They had to try.

[saidelia-draconis]

Acceptance

Saidelia drew in a deep, sharp breath, exhaling slowly as she opened her eyes. She stared blearily at the wall, scratching the crust from the corners of her eye and blinking back the stiffness clouding her eyelids. She slid out of bed in her smallclothes, shrugging her shoulders into her tunic and leaving the room.

She met the Kyrian in his sitting room, gesturing to a small table of prepared meats, cheeses, and fruits. Wordlessly, the two sat down to breakfast, eating in silence and occasionally passing glances. By the time they had finished, they were left with a wistful moment of contemplation, each gazing out the same window at the landscape.

Finally, their eyes met. Saidelia flashed him a ghost of a grin. He smirked at her in turn. "Awkward silences, am I right? Guess there's not much left to be said."

She rattled out a quiet laugh, leaning forward to push herself up to her feet. "I've been thinking about what you said since last night. You were right. It might not be the ending I wanted. But I think it's what's best. I think it's still time for me to go."

Xipheles effortlessly rose to his feet, regarding her with a warm, hospitable. "I'm glad we're parting on these terms. Call it a final act of selfishness, but if you'd have me, I'd like to see you off. I'll help you into your armor."

Saidelia nodded, turning towards Xipheles and wrapping her arms around him. In turn, his arms encircled her to rest on her shoulders. He held her for a long while, all of her scars, flaws, and imperfections under his fingertips. When he finally let go, she meticulously donned her armor, encasing them beneath cold steel.

The pair walked down the way, exchanging light conversation and gentle reminiscence. At the edge of the town, the two sat at a bench, chatting a while longer. Each time one bade the other farewell, another tangent cropped up, the two continuing to chat. Their idle chatter was suddenly interrupted by a rather stern-looking kyrian whose wings furled as he drew closer. He stood at attention in front of the two, saluting.

"Xipheles. You are needed at the temple. In light of... recent events, there are aspirants that the polemarch has seen fit to entrust to you." He nodded, somewhat plainly indicating Saidelia.

Xipheles turned to Saidelia, flashing that vivacious smile she'd recognize no matter who wore it. "I'm afraid this is where our time ends, Dame Draconis. It was always a pleasure. Thank you for everything. I'm stronger for having known you. No matter what happens. Don't forget to live a little. For the both of us. Who knows, maybe we'll meet again someday."

Saidelia straightened up, hesitating for a moment before drawing the Kyrian in for a heartfelt embrace, enough to make the man grunt as he was squeezed. "Thank you so much, Xipheles. I'll never forget you and I'll always be thankful to you for your part in my life; no matter how short. If I never see you again, I'm better for having known you." "And I, you. Take care."

Saidelia continued alone down the path, mounting her steed and passing fields of gold. The serene landscape passed by in a peaceful silence, giving her time to reflect on her stay. She left with an odd sense of peace that seemed foreign after so many years. Once the road ended, the paladin found herself at the grand entryway to Bastion, dismounting and passing back through the gates she had left through so long ago.

Saidelia wandered through the promenade, surrounded by incoming souls and dutiful kyrians with their stewards. She stopped at a small reflecting pool. The Kyrian tending the pool regarded her warmly, gesturing towards the small dais. "Welcome. This is where fresh aspirants reflect upon their time in the world and are cleansed of their doubts. Would you like to meditate for a while?"

Saidelia scowled softly, studying the woman for a few moments before a dim spark of recognition reached her. She slowly ascended the steps and cast her gaze from the pool to the other woman. "Hiossa?"

The kyrian smiled warmly, nodding as she appraised Saidelia. "Indeed. I'm afraid I don't quite remember you, friend. I meet quite a few people, as you can imagine. It is a pleasure to see you again nevertheless."

The paladin chuckled sheepishly, recalling their last encounter and clearing her throat. "I'm, uh, Saidelia I tried your... trial a little while ago. It's, um, good to see you again."

She chuckled quietly, stroking her chin for a moment as she mulled the name over. Eventually, her eyes widened, and she nodded. "Oh, Saidelia. I think I remember you. You tried the meditation once before if I recall correctly." She uttered a soft, thoughtful hum. "Are you here to try again?

Saidelia bit her lip as she eyed the waters. They appeared less tumultuous than last time. What was once a roiling current had settled to a still, tranquil surface. "I think I'd like that. Thank you."

[childofchrist1983]

There is more to life than what we experience through our senses. Where does the wind start and end? This is the question that Jesus invites us to consider. If we rely only on our eyes and ears, we miss out on the fullness of life. But when we experience spiritual rebirth in Jesus Christ, we become alive in the Holy Spirit and enter into communion with Jesus Christ and our Father in Heaven.

May we make sure that we give our hearts and lives to God and take time daily to seek and praise Him and share His Truth with the world. May the LORD our God and Father in Heaven help us to stay diligent and obedient and help us to guard our hearts in Him and His Word daily. May He help us to remain faithful and full of excitement to do our duty to Him and for His glorious return and our reunion in Heaven as well as all that awaits us there. May we never forget to thank the LORD our God and our Creator and Father in Heaven for all this and everything He does and has done for us! May we never forget who He is, nor forget who we are in Christ and that God is always with us! What a mighty God we serve! What a Savior this is! What a wonderful Lord, God, Savior and King we have in Jesus Christ! What a loving Father we have found in the Almighty God! What a wonderful God we serve! His will be done!

Thanks and glory be to God! Blessed be the name of the LORD! Hallelujah and Amen!

Father God Almighty, LORD Jesus, thank you for cleansing and awakening my soul and making me alive in You. Teach me to live by Your Holy Word and Spirit, to be still and know Your presence. You know the beginning and the end, so I trust in You and Your infinite might, knowledge and wisdom. Give me eyes to see what You want me to see so that I may walk each day in step with You and Your will and Spirit. Help me to do Your will and to follow the path You've laid for me. Give me the courage to turn away from the things of this world and love, follow and serve You with my whole heart and being. Thank you, O Lord, for the gift of eternal salvation and eternal life.

You and Your Holy Word and Spirit give us hope, peace, salvation, and so much more! Let our relationship with You be the foundation and pleasing in Your eyes, so that we may hear Your praise as we gaze upon Your face and enter Your Kingdom. Lift our spirits and our hearts. Light up our lives, O Lord. May we abide in You for all our days and beyond!

You are Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End! We know Your promises are true and we place our hope in You! May we continue to pray and seek You. Present us with daily opportunities to go to others with Your message of eternal salvation. May we live our lives with a spirit of thankfulness and may we always magnify You, O Lord. Allow our praises to You encourage others to seek Your face. Help us all to be humble and obedient to You. And help us to be courageous enough to seek You daily and to humbly and faithfully do our duty to You, spreading the truth of Your Gospel to all in all nations, as You commanded before You ascended back to Heaven (Mark 16:15-16). May our lives show the world Your light and Truth and that You are a loving God and Heavenly Father who delights in showing love and mercy. May we all be humbly and faithfully honored and excited to worship, glorify and serve You daily and to do Your will. You have been so good to us, far more than we as wretched sinners deserve. You are so good! So wonderful! Forever and always!

Thank you for keeping me and helping me in times where I am tempted to go astray. Praise be to You today and every day of my life and let me never forget all of the blessings that are given me by You. As much as the enemy will try, he will never be able to successful breed doubt about who You are, in the minds of anyone who truly believes and follows You. And I will follow and serve You all the days of my life and beyond! Thank you for the connection with You that we are given through Your Holy Word and Spirit.

▬▬ι═══════ﺤ 🔥 || As the day draws to a close and the world settles down to rest, Grandmaster Hasashi's mind begins to wander through the memories of the day. Thoughts like wisps of smoke drifting through the chambers of the mind, dancing and swirling in a rhythm that only the heart can understand. How the vivid strings mimic the reflection of the crackling bonfire offering them cradling warmth against the rarity of the Shirai Ryu frigidity, as images flash like flickering flames before them as the mind casts back through time, recalling moments both bright and dark, moments of abundant, resplendent joy and moments of torturous, excruciating pain. And yet, amidst the chaos and confusion of his subconscious, there is an unperturbable stillness that pervades.

The wages of his past sin may brought the death of Hanzo Hasashi, as countless innocent people died - they must suffer as he too, had suffered - before he conceded that Scorpion was not entirely irredeemable. Beneath what seemed like the void of hopelessness, did he hear whispers of truth he sought; the language of stars, to the soul which the Shirai Ryu speak. In the silent abyss where darkness reigned, a cosmic symphony, his heart sustained scintillating glimmer of justice and righteousness. Now, Grandmaster Hasashi lays himself on the tapestry of fate, woven with cosmic thread, where the cycle of revivified life, in celestial rhythm, is led. The resurrected life filled with the dance of atoms, in harmony and discord, as a ballet of forces of light and darkness clash, as the universe moves forward.

Ryou Sakai's breath, however ephemeral and minute it may be against the defined swell of his cheek, shatters the tenebrous veil of time which Hanzo Hasashi remains stuck in. How it unveils the truth, in the eternal chime of things, the vast expense where the questions arise even as wisdom he surmises. In this ocean of existence, Hanzo Hasashi drifts and explores, seeking the shore of knowledge, as the unknown he implores along with his beloved friend, lover, husband, the most entrusted and sagacious being who could read him even in this absolute moment of stillness and silence. How his drifting thoughts conglomerate, sparkling like Ryou's stunning eyes and pleasant as his soft touch intermingles with Hanzo's own.

"You are my vessel of happiness, my vessel of life, my vessel of kind words, my vessel of love," how Hanzo finds himself sipping in halcyon content, as the golden warmth continues to shine and caress him with a unique glow, along with the feeling that he gets when he looks into his beloved's eyes; of splendid, unperturbable peace and eternal highs. "To preserve and keep such had been strenuous for both of us, but we never let ourselves grow feeble and weak, lowly, lonesome, and meek. For we speak our love in a million languages and with the confidence of all who have, or I would have never dared to attempt to utter it."

For Hanzo Hasashi has been unleashed, into the bright gleam of celestial flame that cleanses and sanctifies hellfire. How it glows effervescently and purposefully in the dark amber of his eyes as his silence ascends with all promise that Ryou Sakai deserves. ▬▬ι═══════ﺤ 🔥 ||

A Pontifex's Pondering

Okay, so, if I'm being honest, I made this blog pretty much exclusively so I could post my itty bitty Sweet Religion fic and possibly a couple of my other A Crown of Candy musings someplace that wasn't on main. There's pretty much nothing worth warning for here, other than a lot of repressed gay longing and some canon-compliant character death. I am not expecting notes, I just wanna contribute to this teeny tiny fandom. Please enjoy the sad food lesbians.

I used to dream of Saint Citrina. I would lay myself down to sleep, and I’d dream of taking off her veil and bringing her near. And we would sin together, and it was wonderful. I always awoke feeling filthy. I would go into the bath-house and cleanse myself to be purged of that feeling, that covetousness that ran deeper than words, but only in the scrupulous light of the Bulb did that last. When night came again, it would return to stain my soul. 

I saw her without her veil in the waking world only twice. The first time was at confession. It was a typical thing for her to go to the nearest bishop or archbishop and bare her soul to them. Not mandatory for most, but mandatory in her eyes. There was something of her old pagan devotion in the way she went through that ritual, prostrating herself and waiting to hear that her sins were forgiven. It was difficult, terribly difficult, for me to proclaim that forgiveness. Not because I believed her beyond redemption, but because I believed myself unworthy to forgive. 

The night after her confessional, I dreamt of her again. I awoke with my heart beating against my ribcage. I knew then that no amount of bathing would wash away this corruption, this pollution deep within me. Because I will tell you something. The Bulb-light did not protect me at confession. When I saw her before me, veil-less, kneeling, my terrible desires grew stronger than ever. I set a hand upon her head, ran my fingers through her sugar-spun hair. That was not part of the ritual. She knew it, and I knew it, but neither of us said a word. Did she fear me, or did I fear her? It did not matter. It has never mattered. 

Half-dressed and dazed, I ran into the chapel and fell down before the altar. I did not pray so much as I begged, begged for this blight to be lifted from me. I wept. I had never wept before, not so wholeheartedly as this. She had left her shawl behind. I returned it. I confess, I didn’t want to return it. I didn't love her, not really. Love wants for nothing, so the holy book says, and I wanted her. More than I wanted anything. 

The next time I saw her bared before me, ten bitter, bloody years had passed. She approached me, not as a penitent, but as a princess, one eager to protect her people. She was a vision. It drove me mad. I said some things that I regretted shortly after the fact. I do not regret them now. I said all I could have said. I was young. Too young to understand the burdens on both of our shoulders. We would have come to blows, had she not been too temperate to strike me and I too paralyzed by my own fearful feelings to strike her.

I made a decision that night. I could no longer be tormented by this. This loss of control over my own self would be disastrous. I must end it or die trying. 

I made her an offer. Leave Castle Candy and follow me as I ascended the church’s ranks, or burn with the rest of the heretics. It was a cruel offer. I knew that then, and I know that now, but I made the offer anyway, because in my eyes it was my only choice. She chose death. I brought death. The dreams did not end. My pain did not end. I killed her for nothing.

[moonthehealer]

She was born from the patience of her mother’s knowing.

From the in betweens of experience and purpose.

The longing, & the rebellion that came from the longing.

Her voice danced through the choir’s sopranos, altos, & tenors

Through the halls & pulpits of her mother’s soul.

Her enigmatic attempts at making herself known

Earned her the name Hemyali.

Her mother wore that name, discreetly & proudly.

Allowing herself to come into the truth without

Desiring it with all her heart.

She waited.

She often wondered if her Father would ever be good enough

To bring her forward. Or if this sacred angel would have to play in the clouds forever.

She often wondered if that would be what’s best.

So she stopped longing.

She let her play, to no end.

The in between used to stretch from heart to heaven,

& lately.. there began to appear a stairwell.

Built from the play work of knowing

What happens when experience meets purpose.

This stairwell became the singular most important thing to her mother.

It allowed her to never fall, when she stumbled.

This is a love forged through a child’s honour of her mother’s plight.

You see, I’d been denying the naivety that the cushions on the bottom floor are made of. Once I saw the path of the stairs, I no longer could take comfort in rest.

This was my mountain & I wanted to see the top.

There would be my resting place, I thought.

So she was born from the patience of her mother’s knowing.

The trust it takes to raise a child who deserves better than this world.

Without ever having to .

May be my saving.

I’d waited years for her to name herself.

Hemyali was only her way.

I honour your mothers, Hemyali

I honour your sisters, Hemyali

I wait patiently for your father’s truth to be cleansed in Love, Hemyali.

And I forgive them all for helping to keep this distance.

Because this distance forged you with fire & steel,

I cried to the heavens, bare naked in prisons for this.

Until there were no tears.

Until there was no comfort.

Until there were only stairs.

So I walked alone.

And upon this ascendance, I was comforted by my prayers.

Accompanied by my will to sight the top of this mountain.

And one day I got far enough to hear a whisper without wind.

What a pleasure it is, to know.

IHVHILAH ZEPTARA LEE .

I know this is only everything that has been & what needs to be.

I will comfort your burden, had you choose to come forward.

I will never let you know what falling is.

I give thanks for your work, my Angel of Angels.

My Life.

[lilly-dilly]

Energy is sacred and if i perceive that having a sexual experience or connection is not the best thing to do, i can commit to it in long term circumstances. Many people mistook these kind of things as normal. Once you share your energy to someone, there are some instances that you'll not gonna be able to cleanse what meddles in your auric field. That's why i decided to practice the absence of sexual activities and any forms of it.

Doesn't mean that many people does one thing it's the right thing to do. Energy Vampires can majorly benefit from those kind of activities but higher beings are differ from them.

I manage to save my own self because i refuse to commit to those kind of things in the first place. I know what i'm doing and i'm aware of what kind of things that can / cannot help to ascend a single soul.

Those false connections that they tried to throw in my way right after the separation, I don't feel that it's destined because it's not really for me in the first place. You can't tell me nothing about this. All my life i was living around the scenarios that my counterpart has been experienced. It all intersects and whether i like it or not, They always throw some shady people in my way, accusing me of a gender that i never been or was, or even humiliate me for the things that i haven't done.

Dark entities can cloak themselves in numerous ways. To the point that you deemed those practices as "normal", i'm not saying that having a sexual intercouse with someone you love is a bad thing. Just imagine a white cloth being passed down to different beings and it's very delicate and cannot be easily replaced once it's stained. That's the initial presentation of the energies.

And if you don't know how energy exchange works then it's detrimental for those delicate souls out there.

Lmaooo i guess i dropped the tea i deleted the most important thing 😂

Morality plays

Dear Caroline:

I was a bit surprised by your stating that the best fictional moralities are like this. Does the adjective imply that in the case of non-fictional moral choices you adopt a different stance, or merely that the above mentioned moral issues are simply the ones you enjoy encountering the most while consuming fiction? Of course, this doesn't have to be a case of exclusive or, as it could perfectly well be both.

Still, my intuition is that you share this mindset for your real-world decision making, and it can be gleaned in texts of yours where you preach the virtues of doing the hard, the unpleasant and the difficult in a sort of secular ascesis and training of the spirit. At the same time, you also drop in occasional references to your supposed laziness and not living up to the most stringent practices of the Ideal EA.

Preachy and ethical literature has long been unpopular in the contemporary world, but perhaps you are acquainted with the morality play,  a genre of early Tudor drama which usually featured 'embodied' virtues and vices, angels and demons, all struggling for the soul of the generic human character. This is actually a very old and medievally flavored type of writing, inaugurated by Prudentius' Psychomachia and flowing along a broad allegorical river or labyrinth through the Ordo Virtutum, The Castle of Perseverance, Everyman and The Pilgrim's Progress. And yet in transmuted form, it still manages to rear its (not necessarily) ugly head in both high and low genres - an example of the first could be Thomas Mann's The Magic Mountain, where Settembrini and Naphta fight for the soul and mind of Hans Castorp and embody liberal versus reactionary/socialist worldviews, and of the second, the rationalist fanfics you so like to read.

A more secularist view of these moral conundrums would perhaps tie them with arguments from evolutionary psychology, and the tension members of the human species have between the instincts of self-preservation and self-sacrifice, egoism and altruism. We are somewhere in the middle of a spectrum that runs from bees and ants, all too willing to let themselves die for the greater good, to snakes and some other unsocial species that hardly ever collaborate even with lovers and offspring. And probably closer to the latter than the former, which would explain why so much indoctrination and stern social rules and punishments are necessary to get most people to behave.

We could also talk about moral luck, the ways in which morality plays a devious game of chess with chance and generates from similar inputs vastly different judgemental outputs. Myself, I'd rather not be put to the test (Lead us not into temptation) lest I should fall short, a feeling that must be tormenting you greatly on the inside these days, when fear of the future might retreat just enough to allow for this sort of reflections. Even if you fell, remember that despair is a much greater sin, and whatever the οἱ πολλοί might think or say, I trust in your innate goodness, and believe in some secular form of Romans 8:28 - “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.”. You are a lovely candle shining in present darkness, Caroline, and I am sure you are worth the hope.

Quote:

Now I shall sing the second kingdom there where the soul of man is cleansed, made worthy to ascend to Heaven.

Here from the dead let poetry rise up, O sacred Muses, since I am yours. Here let Calliope arise...

Dante, Purgatorio

The Stories we Carry - What to Keep What to Alchemize

My stories, the stories of the divine, in who we are in our cleansing, clearing, the ones that uplift, the ones that harm and perpetuate the cycles of lack, limitation, separation; you get to choose how and what to re-write within. Think, feel, know; vibration is everything!

Your reality; you create it.

I am, I have come as the voice, through my own personal experiences, the simplicity of a new potential, the joy of what it means to self actualize and ascend; how it, you, your story affects the all; the heart beat of our collective.

I am the voice, a story on a single thread, the star of the star, the dawn of the dawn, a reflection of the Heavens in a single ray of light; the liberation and freedom of expression that sings to all children forgotten in abuse, in which their innocence taken by the wounds of their caregivers, or ones that were to be the protection, the honouring adoration; forgive deeply dear children, for they simply could not be, give, provide what you are worthy of, for it was your choice to show and be for them.

You are the representation of the Heavens - are you not? Affirm your value, affirm self love, self respect, self divine design; you are a thread of uniqueness within the ALL.© 

The innocent abused, taken from, cheated, or traumatized through the wounding of separation; every wound and crime in our reality, every single one, is from our experience of separation;

Being in the centre of this, excites a new reality potential, a new human potential and each upon this planet, make no mistake about it, have a story to share & infuse such in the re-write; what has been is the catalyst, the foundation through which the angelic of you loves wholeness to be anew; a child is not torn by their parents inability to resolve deep conflict and pain; a child will never be taken advantage of and shown a normalized world of war, violence, pain, suffering, or sexual abuse as 'its normal and what is'

~~~ We are better, newer, more vibrant than such to occur again, as we heal what is within aching and calling for resolve; your anger is your wound, your pettiness is your wound, your creativity is your portal to all healing and do so with gentleness, compassion, own it fully, and be in light heart - 'yeah I was so petty, I am healing, I am taking my time in my transition, my own inner loving alchemy, please forgive me'

Be of light heart - own who you are. Pure intention, softened compassion, you can heal what felt like you wanted to dust it under the carpet - because your parents did, the last dysfunctional relationship showed you it was how pain is dealt with; heal it so that it does not becomes another's wound.

Innocence can never be returned; it is deep wounding that takes time, resources, and multi-dimensional knowing, intuitiveness, wisdoms, compassion, new 5D tools to resolve; new 5D perspectives for our collective to burst through all social-malnourishment and reclaim our divinity anew. For those in deep soul Mal-nourishment feel the entitlement to take the light, energy, gifts, innocence from those that they consider 'stupid, not knowing, insecure or empathic to a fault, naive' however as many face their shadow now in such Divine ignited tower moments; it will be their own souls judgment to heal what was caused to another through their own selfish claim to another's birthright;

All is within - this is not a fluffy airy thing that doesn't mean anything - it IS ASCENSION - how you manifest everything. Each have a unique path, gifts, skills, souls experiences on various omni-present timelines - not 1 person is alike nor is their souls journey or purpose and why competition, that breeds lack, severity of crimes against the soul, the inner feeding, nourishment are now in the rubble of every deconstruction - each get to choose to REWRITE for a new reality.

Life is meant to be celebrated and enjoyed, and lived fully, to not take on another's beliefs, stories, but to fully envelope your own as precious - if you have not been shown, told today,

YOU ARE PRECIOUS for God, love, light is; the goose bumps is spirit and you have activated such; go within it, feel for it, seek it, for IT IS GOD creating a new world with you, as you, a new you - CELEBRATE SUCH.

Your story matters; be of caring kindness in your cathartic loving care, and judge none; for their wounds have not been acknowledged and observed enough to account for - all will always return and each path is to each his/her own - allow it, simply be the inner light and strength of you - you deserve to be fully you - it is why you are here, to be more, live more, express more of you - uniquely & unapologetically in divine grace - we are One

Blessings and love

Joanna

the daughter of God

Beyond the beyond my heart beats and I will always arise, for only that which is I, God choose when, where, how I unfold unto Creation - no other has claim of this; nor should any other to another; this is 5D sovereignty of co-Creation - allow the inner genius to arise, flow, sing, paint, dance, honour is such a gift, ©

21 Crystals and Their Meanings From a Long Time Crystal Witch

I tried really hard to make the descriptions as short as I could, but obviously, some are a lot longer than others. I have been working with crystals for seven years, and I want to share my knowledge with you about some well known stones that are mostly easily attainable. 

Agate – Comes in many shapes, sizes, and colors. This means that agate can typically have many different properties, though most of them are grounding. 

Angelite – To communicate with angels and the more etheric higher realm. This is connected with the Crown Chakra. 

Amber – A potent healing crystal for the Solar Plexus, Sacral, and Crown Chakras. This crystal is also a powerful protector, aligning your everyday self to higher spiritual realms. It is a valuable tool for tapping into ancient wisdom, recalling past lives, and breaking negative patterns. 

Amethyst – Connects to the third eye chakra. It enhances psychic protection, psychic abilities, and is particularly good for empaths who are easily affected by other’s energy. 

Aquamarine – Associated with the Throat chakra, Aquamarine helps overcome the fear of speaking, and is an excellent stone for teachers and presenters of all types. Its element is water, and is also associated with intellect. 

Beryl – Is great for healing and strengthening the body’s entire vibrational field. It activates and opens the Root and Heart Chakras, creating the perfect balance of love, compassion, and creative force. Also great for scrying and decision making. 

Bloodstone –  Bloodstone is a stone of courage and wisdom, and is thought that the red dots in it symbolize the blood of Jesus after his crucifixion. It stimulates the urge toward Christ consciousness, and is also great for the Root Chakra and also wards away bullies. 

Carnelian – Carnelian encourages acceptance of the cycle of life and helps remove the fear of death. As an ancient stone, it was used to protect the dead on their journey to the afterlife. It gives courage and promotes positive life choices. This is associated with the Sacral Chakra.

Celestite – is a gentle but powerful crystal of celestial connection, expanding the consciousness to receive wisdom from the Divine Source as well as communication and protection from the angelic realm. It strengthens the Throat Chakra and aids in fear of public speaking and shyness. 

Citrine – is an excellent crystal for those who are overly sensitive and extremely vulnerable to outside energies and influences. This is also a stone that transforms anxiety into positive energy and happiness. This is a great stone for depression, and aids the Solar Plexus and Sacral chakras. This crystal will also ward away bullies. 

Fluorite – Comes in different colors and is a highly sought after stone. This crystal can aid the Throat Chakra, Heart Chakra, Third Eye Chakra, and crown chakra depending on its color. Fluorite is a multi-dimensional crystal manifesting the highest aspect of the mind: attunement to Spirit. It heightens intuitive powers, and awakens one to the purity and perfection of the universe and how each individual fits into that perfect plan. This crystal is used in astral projection and communication with aliens and interdimensional beings.

Lapis Lazuli -  Activates the psychic centers at the Third Eye, and balances the energies of the Throat Chakra. Lapis is one of the oldest spiritual stones known to man, used by healers, priests and royalty, for power, wisdom and to stimulate psychic abilities and inner vision. It represents universal truth. Lapis quickly releases stress, allowing for peace and serenity. Placed over the third eye, Lapis expands awareness and conscious attunement to the intuitive self, stimulating enlightenment and enhancing dream work. Also increases intelligence. 

Moldavite – one of the most rare and powerful stones. It is easy to find fake ones, and real ones come at a very high price and are easily broken. This is a tektite (a stone from meteor impacts) This stone stimulates the Third Eye, Crown, and Heart chakras, which are the three most spiritual chakras. Moldavite is a talisman sent to Earth for spiritual awakening, transformation and evolutionary growth. It facilitates strong, clear, and direct connection between one's consciousness and the Universal Source. With its own cosmic oversoul, Moldavite has an ability to connect with Ascended Masters and cosmic messengers (aliens, multidimensional beings), and draw into the Earth plane those thought patterns and light vibrations which are most beneficial for ascension and illumination.

Moonstone – Connected to the Crown Chakra, Moonstone is moonstone was the stone of the gods and goddesses in India, of hope and spiritual purity through denial of the ego. It combats materialism and strengthens the faith of religious people in all cultures. This is a stone that connects you to lunar and angelic realms.

It is an excellent tool for grounding and connecting with the electromagnetic energy of the Earth, as well as facilitating alignment with Higher powers for guidance and strength.

Quartz (clear) – Because Clear Quartz has the prismatic ability to vibrate its energy at all of the color frequencies, it not only harmonizes all of the chakras, but can teach us how to vibrate our seven chakra centers simultaneously while maintaining perfect alignment with the light. Clear Quartz crystal is unique, each with its own personality, lessons, and experiences. The crystals attracted into one's life are stones that will in some way help facilitate personal growth and awareness. They may work subliminally in unawakened minds, and it enhances your subconscious desires, which can be disastrous with people who have not done shadow work. For those spiritually attuned to the universe, Quartz crystals are like beacons of light and positive energy to be used in daily thoughts, feelings, words and actions and integrated onto the earth. 

Rose Quartz –  Is connected to the Heart Chakra. Rose Quartz is feminine in tone and one of the stones of the Great Mother. It not only activates the human Heart Chakra, it also links with the heart of the Earth and the heart of the Universe. Its vibrations can penetrate down to the cellular level and reprogram cells for joy and longevity rather than despair and death. It encourages the dissolution of anger and resentment, fear and suspicion, and brings the Light of healing, the rebirth of hope and faith in the benevolence of the Universe. This stone can also be used to heal wounds from past lovers and is useful in love magick. Pregnant mothers also use this stone to calm and send love to their baby.

Selenite -  Resonates with the Crown Chakra located at the top of the head. Selenite brings divine light into everything it touches and stimulates the clearest state of mind attainable, where all thoughts entering the consciousness come from the Source and are direct reflections of pure spirit. It is one of the best crystals available for clearing congested energies or negativity from one’s physical and etheric body, and for helping one consciously connect with the Higher Self. This crystal has such pure light energy that you do not need to cleanse it, and it will cleanse other crystals around it. 

Tigers Eye – Stimulates the Root, Sacral, and Solar Plexus chakras. Tiger’s Eye resonates with the frequencies of the Earth and provides a warm, stable energy for prayers and meditation, and stimulating contact with the vibrational realm of Christ consciousness. It engenders peacefulness and beauty, and connects with the spiritual power of the sun as nourishment for the soul. Tiger’s Eye enables the ability to remember dreams and to use dreamtime for spiritual advancement, sparking imagination, intuition, and opening up psychic talents in earthy people through Third Eye activity. This crystal has masculine energy and promotes self control and self evaluation. 

Tourmaline – Is devoted to grounding spiritual energies, bringing a clearer expression of Light into the world and into the lives of those drawn to its powers. It furthers the ability to remain radiant in the darkest of circumstances, and to maintain a spiritual consciousness while living among those who are not always in the Light and do not understand the love of the universe. This is a highly protective stone against negative entities and repels negative energy.  Turquoise – In traditional thought, Turquoise unites the earth and sky, bringing together male and female energies. Spiritually, Turquoise heals and cleanses both the energy centers and the physical body. It acts to induce wisdom and understanding, and to enhance trust, kindness, and the recognition of beauty. It helps resolve arguments, particularly between you and your partner. This is associated with the Throat Chakra and the Third Eye Chakra

[childofchrist1983]

And when they had preached the gospel to that city, and had taught many, they returned again to Lystra, and to Iconium, and Antioch, Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God. - Acts 14:21-22 KJV

Sometimes, we grow weary as believers. Walking the road of faith gets hard. Other times it gets mundane. Sometimes doubt creeps in. We may even allow sin to fester in our lives and lead us to complacency and ceasing to listen to the Holy Spirit. But as believers, we can encourage our brothers and sisters to continue in the faith. Sometimes, all someone needs, is a reminder, encouragement, and support.

May the LORD our God and Father in Heaven help us to stay diligent and obedient and help us to guard our hearts in Him and His Word daily, May He help us to remain faithful and full of excitement to do our duty to Him and for His glorious return and our reunion in Heaven as well as all that awaits us there. May we never forget to thank the LORD our God and our Creator and Father in Heaven for all this and everything He does and has done for us! May we never forget who He is, nor forget who we are in Christ and that God is always with us! What a mighty God we serve! What a Savior this is! What a wonderful Lord, God, Savior and King we have in Jesus Christ! What a loving Father we have found in the Almighty God! What a wonderful God we serve! His will be done!

Thanks and glory be to God! Blessed be the name of the LORD! Hallelujah and Amen!

Heavenly Father God, Lord Jesus, help my brothers and sisters. Give them strength and endurance to continue in the faith You called them to. Place people in their lives to encourage them. Bring them to a deeper love for You. Make them to feel Your presence this week. Let them remember why they first loved You. You are our great love. You are the worthiest of our love. You are worthy of more than we can give.

You are Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End! We know Your promises are true and we place our hope in You! May we live our lives with a spirit of thankfulness and may we always magnify You, O Lord. Allow our praises to You encourage others to seek Your face. I forever thank you, O Lord, for sending Yourself to our world so that we who believe may be set free from the law of sin and death. So that we may become sons and daughters of the living God and enter Your eternal Kingdom of Heaven. Praise be Your holy and almighty name!

Lord Jesus, my Savior and King, thank you for what You did for me and for everyone else on this Earth. Thank you for this beautiful life I now have in You. Help us all work together. Forgive us and cleanse us of sin, so that we may join You one day in Your Heavenly Kingdom, our true home. Help us all to be humble and obedient to You. And help us to be courageous enough to seek You daily and to humbly and faithfully do our duty to You, spreading the truth of Your Gospel to all in all nations, as You commanded before You ascended back to Heaven (Mark 16:15-16). May our lives show the world Your light and Truth and that You are a loving God and Heavenly Father who delights in showing love and mercy. May we all be humbly and faithfully honored and excited to worship, glorify and serve You daily and to do Your will. You have been so good to us, far more than we as wretched sinners deserve. You are so good! So wonderful! Forever and always!

Thank you, Lord, for keeping me and helping me in times where I am tempted to go astray. Praise be to You today and every day of my life and let me never forget all of the blessings that are given me by You. As much as the enemy will try, he will never be able to successful breed doubt about who You are, in the minds of anyone who truly believes and follows You. And I will follow and serve You all the days of my life and beyond! Thank you for the connection with You that we are given through Your Holy Word and Spirit. Thank you, O Lord, for all Your creation and Your miraculous ways. Thank you for being our stronghold and my refuge. Thank you for seeing us as worth the sacrifice. Thank you for sustaining us, loving us and defining us according to Your will and love for us. Thank you for making sure we are taken care of. Thank you for being the best friend we could ever have! Thank you for Your endless mercy and love that has saved us. Thank you for always protecting us and providing for us and for Your Spirit to help us when we are in need. Thank you for abiding within me and may I abide with You, my Lord. Thank you for giving us a chance to be saved from our sin and spend eternity with You. Thank you for adopting us as part of Your family in Heaven and making us one of Your own. Thank you for being our present help in times of trouble (Psalm 46:1). Thank you for always being near and for loving us. Thank you for giving us a reason to love others and so many more reasons to love, praise, serve and follow You. Thank you for Your selfless and sinless sacrifice. Thank you for Your guidance and protection. Thank you for Your Truth and light. Thank you for Your wisdom and strength and grace. Thank you for giving life to the world and to us. You give and take away – And we thank you for it. Thank you for everything! Your will be done! Blessed be Your mighty name! To You and Your Kingdom be the glory forevermore! In Your name I humbly pray, Amen and amen

New Moon in Capricorn 🐞🐍⛲🐝ALL SIGNS

With the elements/signs of the zodiac, you can freely use your Sun, Moon, Rising/Ascendant, or even your Stellium (❗️)

[Back to Masterlist]

Are you familiar with all those memes that point out how uncomfortable a Capricorn Sun person could get when it comes to exercising emotional vulnerability? That isn't without solid reasons, you know. Allow me to elaborate.

Being the 10th sign, Capricorn is one of the oldest souls in the zodiac wheel. It's also experienced many things. Being a pragmatic and realistic Earth sign, Capricorn understands the danger of opening up to deceitful human beings. You show, one time, your vulnerable side, and someone's gonna break you apart right from that opening.

That ain't pretty. Capricorn is mature. It is cautious because it has seen the ugly side of mankind. -that's such a weird-ass intro for this segment LMAO-

Main theme for 🐞Aries Leo Sagittarius

In a manner of speaking, half of you is struggling with letting go of thoughts and beliefs that are stress-inducing. It's something about the way you think—the way your brain perceives issues and tries to find a solution. You're not allowing yourself to be guided by the free-flowing nature of your intuition—you weather the storms of life with too much logic.

This, in turn, actually causes you even more stress, because you're being so hard on yourself. Then, you're hard on other people, and conflict ensues. See the pattern? Well, there's that and then there's the other half of you: the bunch who've been hard at work overcoming this old paradigm. Bravo. You've been so brave, and strong.

Soul Cleansing for Fire Signs🔻❤️

Whichever half you resonate with, this New Moon, you can celebrate and take it easy for a bit. It's still the New Year's, too. Wind down. Allow your mind to rest. If you feel you must be active at all, or do anything at all, use that precious energy to indulge in activities that you love, instead of those you feel an obligation to finish😉

Main theme for 🐍Taurus Virgo Capricorn

On an intuitive level, some of you have been suffering from lethargy. This is actually quite bad, too, because I'm seeing you're not totally enjoying life. In spite of the abundance of activities, busyness, and plans, deep inside, you're like... dead. You're sick and tired from the same old routines. Nothing seems to be working out in favour of your true joy, your spiritual happiness.

So, why have you been feeling this way? This reading is so mini I can't possibly look into that right now, but!! Your intuition can tell you the wealth of life's possibilities that you have been feeling a pull towards, which you've been ignoring. Yep. Yep. Yep. Totally. Get it now?

Soul Cleansing for Earth Signs🔻💚

Is your workplace wrong? Are your friends wrong? Is your family wrong? Are your old activities wrong? If anything is inclined towards a 'yes', please acknowledge that part/aspect of your life and stop making excuses. That part of your life is screaming for fresh air to breathe. Don't be cruel. Let yourself breathe, my friend.

Main theme for ⛲Gemini Libra Aquarius

You may have been feeling like a lot of people are requiring your energy or presence? It's wonderful to be needed, wanted, and to actually be generous with your energy. But make sure you're not letting it become overbearing. You tend to become super bitter and hateful when your energy is depleted. And I know you don't like feeling that way; you're too kind, after all.

This may be a super repetitive message for Air Signs since last year, but I think something in the Cosmos is seriously trying to teach you healthy detachment. I'm not an Astrologer so I don't know what's going cosmically, but this kind of message has been persistent, so I'm suspecting there must be something in the... air.

Soul Cleansing for Air Signs🔻💙

The pattern I've been seeing the most is a leakage of energy. You constantly give without being able to refill your reservoir of spiritual energy just in time before engaging with people again. Your efforts are not enough because you're not allowing enough time to detach. Look, even therapists need their own therapists. Get it?

Main theme for 🐝Cancer Scorpio Pisces

Okay, so you may have been feeling cheated or slighted by people a lot. I think it makes sense for people with prominent Water energy. You're like a fountain of comfort for other people, and in this cruel world, a lot of very bad people are gonna be more than happy to take full advantage of that. Yuck. That's disgusting, right? But you know, sometimes other people may not even realise that they're being this kind of parasitic presence to you.

Because, they're helpless themselves. Like a dying plant in need of water. Exactly. But this isn't saying you can justify that; nope, you need to just acknowledge that and be on your way to protect yourself. Nobody can save anybody else, you know. Unless you do have the education and license to do so (and get paid to do so!), you're not obligated to be everyone's therapist.

Soul Cleansing for Water Signs🔻💛

Be selective with whom you share your energy. Scorpio Suns are usually good at this. Unless you learn to do so, you will continue to suffer with ups and downs of energy. Certain times you need to sleep way too much; certain times, you just don't know what to do with the abundance of energy you're feeling because you're so used to being stressed out, anyway. It may feel chaotic, right?
