When encountering someone stuck in an Apology Loop, I do not uselessly ask, or worse, demand that they “stop apologizing.”

Rather, I have found it much more useful to affect a theatrical tone and formally “absolve” them. “Like a Renaissance pope, I absolve you, my child.” Usually the combination of having the absurdity of the situation highlit, combined with a touch of physiological release if I can get a laugh, is enough to soothe their nerves a bit and get them to break the loop. And who knows maybe they feel absolved I dunno I have an authoritative bearing

lately ive been imagining bright strobing lights and demonic thoughtforms 24/7 in order to make my psychoscape uninhabitable for any malicious telepaths trying to gain access

I like the word “witchery” because of its linguistic similarity to “fuckery.” Witchcraft is fuckery; fuckery is witchcraft. They are inextricably connected in my mind and it makes me happy.

so last year during a period of intense suicidal depression i made this necklace that i always wear, right, and the thing is it's genuinely brought me a lot of comfort and relief and i've developed a strong sentimental attachment to it, to the point that i can inarguably state that it's had a net positive effect on my mental wellbeing. however i did now just have to stop to almost throw up laughing because i realised that i've succumbed to the amulet.

When you get on here and rail about how the way you do magic is the only real way, and everyone else is just fantasizing, you're just demonstrating what a limited worldview you have.

People the world over have been doing magic in all sorts of ways since long before recorded history, but we're supposed to believe that you've found the one true way?

You haven't even learned to banish your head from your ass yet.

One of the things that's been annoying more and more is modern media depictions of vikings where they basically dress in bland colored furs and leather and they look and act like Klingons.

Wish more movies and TV shows would have the gumption to use accurate costumes.

Also throughout all periods of history people wore colors!!! Even the puritans wore colors and only wore black on Sunday.

See, our first mistake was trying to have a civilization in northern Europe between October and February. The darkest three months of the year should be for staying home under the blankets, midwinter festivals, and getting blind drunk when the sun goes down at 4 pm like the bog gods intended.

Anyone else ever look at reviews for books about magic and they're like "DON'T do this! I did this and a spirit stalked me and tried to kill me!" And you're like "what did you do?" and it's like the most basic protection ritual?

Personally I feel like if you feel this way just doing basic stuff a) you really need to question why you're doing this from a place of fear b) you might have some mental health things that need to be addressed c) so, how's your carbon monoxide detector? or d) (least likely imo) you really fucked this up somehow
