when angus delaney said "I believe in a universe that doesn't care and people who do"

when travis mcelroy said “what if you could just cut out the bullshit and do good recklessly?” and when marc evan jackson said “now go do something good” and when chidi anagonye said “i argue that we choose to be good because of our bonds with other people” and when brennan lee mulligan said “you, mortal beings, are the instrument by which the universe cares. if you choose to care, then the universe cares. and if you don’t, then it doesn’t”

Tarot Spread: What in the Actual Fresh Fuck?!

Card 1 - “What in the”: Your current problem. Your focus. What is hindering you currently. Your challenge.

Card 2 - “Actual”: What about this challenge/problem is grounded in reality? Is it a tangible problem?

Card 3 - “Fresh”: Am I looking at this problem wrong? Am I going about this the wrong way? Do I need to see this with a ‘fresh’ perspective?

Card 4 - “Fuck”: What about this is wrong? Why is it wrong? What is making it wrong?

Card 5 - “?”: Do I need more info? Where do I need more info?

Card 6 - “!”: What can I do about this? Where can I take action? What changes can I make to solve this?

Is there a good way to involve dice into the craft? I am a big fan of DnD and have a bunch of dice sets which I really love.

Also I kinda followed yalls advice and feel a lot better now, meditating was the best for the drain.

Do you have tips or setting up altars and stuff? I keep finding conflicting resources and while I have a direction in mind Id like some tricks and tips.

Choroplekes

When my feet grow still, When music is discordant to my ears, When my heart is too weary to rejoice, O Choroplekes, come to me then. Dionysos, You are the source of dance. The Maenads of old danced to Your beat, Their bodies were ecstatic then, They knew Your rhythms intimately. Choroplekes, move with and within me again, Show me the steps to Your dances, Let me rejoice in the motion, Take my arms and guide me, Let me be as a puppet in its master's hands, Mold me, Choroplekes, And let me dance as is pleasing to You, the Master of the Dance.

Sing the melody, calm your mind.

I sing,

O ever-present Lord Apollo, I call thy name knowing you already saw The outcome of what heavies in me, but please approach to hear my melody, for I pray with willing mind, to give you thanks as soon as I See your hands, most warm caressing me as I doubt in vicious anxiety or the clouds of darkness fill my mind, You come, Radiant one! Filling my life with Sweetest of harmonies!

Your power suffices and you were judged to be, between the Immortals high in Olympos, most gentle to mortals in need! So I hear your song and sing along, In thy name, one predicts what’s to come.

And with honest effort in learning thy tune, purifying myself and sometimes going mute. I call your name, more and more, for I know Apollon cannot ignore! The mortals He ever shows to protect, gentle hand and armed with arrows, comes the God of calm and light.

Saying, O mortal one, what’s in thy mind?

And I sing.
