questions for pop culture pagans pt 2
phillypagan:
kissingcuteboys:
ok I get that PC magick includes using figures from pop culture to channel magic thru (ex an Anastasia spell for memory idk)
BUT
how does this work when these figures aren’t real? they aren’t gods or anything, just cartoons & movie characters. how does this work?
also, if one were to go about doing a Studio Ghibli-esque alter/worship, how would they do...

Visiting the SCP Wiki After A Long Absence......
Long ramble from a very occasional SCP reader under the cut, though mainly just about my own initial reaction. [Short version: They changed SCP 40, and I guess it’s ultimately for the best, but it’s still going to take some getting used to (and yes, I know SCP is loose to no continuity, anyway :-p).]

So, yeah, SCP 40 has been one of my favorite SCPs for awhile, so when...

Commission for Divides on Da Mallow was taking an adventure in the forest when she seemed to have tripped and got her self stuck in a hole. BUT WAIT! Something sparkling caught her eye while being stuck there. A ruby jeweled necklace and a trail of gold peices leading off farther in this underground hole. Now if she could only get herself unstuck and follow that trail….Who...

Those of you familiar with previous efforts of mine to give the girl free advertising should know what a wonderful artist she is and that she’s totally...

Like most people, I have my pet theories about why tumblr is such a clusterfuck of identities and petty politics, and why so many people on tumblr engage in bizarre and reactionary behavior well past their teenage years.

Can we talk about how Elementary casted a trans*woman as a trans*woman
Can we talk about how they didn’t make her storyline about how she is trans* AND she was seen as something desirable
Can we talk about how she had OCD but it wasn’t something that was made fun of or a big deal at all, nor did it define her character
Can we talk about how in the scene...

“The other question everybody asks is, why doesn’t she just leave? Why didn’t I...”
– “Why domestic violence victims don’t leave” - Leslie Morgan Steiner (via eaaao)
Read the comments on almost any story about a woman who was attacked/killed by partner, and I 100% guarantee you will see one that implies that the victim is at fault for not leaving or not leaving sooner. DON’T BLAME...

Actually, on reflection, I’m starting to think I’m having a bit of an egocentricity problem as of late. I need to do a better job reminding myself that not everything bad that happens is my own personal problem to deal with XD. More recently, it’s also looking like I might wanna take a moment to remind myself not everyone has time to go over everything I say with a fine tooth...

No Idea if What I Just Did Was An Epic Display of...
Of course, odds are nobody will ever know what I’m talking about, since it was an anonymous ask XD.
At any rate, hopefully the nature of the blog (informative) means it was ok for me to ask what I asked, but I still can’t help but have this sinking suspicion I’ve stepped in it. Can’t tell if that’s just my anxiety acting up, or if some small part of me feels I...

THIS IS POTENTIALLY REALLY IMPORTANT: →
ohmariesmiles:
I have someone staying in my hotel tonight that made me think that this would be worth sharing here.
If you are running away/trying to hide from someone that is frightening, abusing, harassing you, and you find yourself staying in a hotel to avoid being found, there’s an extra precaution you can take.
When you check in, ask the front desk clerk to put you as “Unlisted”. They’ll...

What Losing 180 Pounds Really Does to Your Body →
I lost a lot of things along with the weight. I lost my sense of self. My sense of proportion. My sense of dignity, of maturity, of control. I was skinny, but my life wasn’t suddenly and magically perfect-and that completely astonished me. It sounds ridiculous, having really fallen for the fairy tale of weight loss. But I had fallen for it completely, and then was blinded by the egregious lack...

This is a topic that interests me, mostly because I see it as a gray area and I would really like to come up with a definitive answer to this question. I encourage you guys to come up with an answer to this question!

So, the House recently passed a bill that would result in religious institutions receiving taxpayer money (via disaster relief funds) as non-profit organizations even if they serve no non-profit functions beyond being religious institutions.
Now don’t get me wrong, I’m a proud UU, so I’m well aware of the role a good church can serve in a person’s life, and I’m...
