“We owe a debt to third world women theologians who have noticed the similarities between Mary’s life and the lives of so many poor women even today. Giving birth in a homeless situation; fleeing as a refugee with your baby to a strange land to escape being killed by military action; losing a child to unjust execution by the state; our newspapers yield up these icons of suffering even today. Mary is sister to the marginalized women who live unchronicled lives in oppressive situations. It does her no honor to rip her out of her conflictual, dangerous historical circumstances and transmute her into an icon of a peaceful, middle-class life robed in royal blue.”

— Sister Elizabeth Johnson, “Mary of Nazareth: Friend of God and Prophet”

This is Mary holding her son. This is what it means to follow Christ.

Our reward is waiting for us in Heaven alone should we pick up, make peace with, and find meaning in our cross as our Lord did.

Sea ‘hag stone’ views

In British folklore, a ‘hag stone’ (also known as an adder stone, a witch stone, an eye stone, a fairy stone, and a seeing stone among other titles) is any stone that has had a hole worn through it by the action of water, and other, smaller pebbles over time. It is believed to reveal secrets of the fae and other realms and supernatural secrets if you look through the hole, and to have protective abilities against the supernatural and forces seeking to harm a person or their livestock.

halos are fun but tbh realistically i think that saints would just have heads burning up with holy fire from the inside out. they'd be uncomfortable to look at, not only because they burn so bright and billow with smoke and flame, but because of the abjectly contradictory, miraculously terrible nature of it. headless but whole. dead yet alive.

I’m not a classicist, but I suspect one of the reasons so many of the Greek gods are portrayed so unflatteringly was less because they were seen as villains than because they represented their domains.  Of course Zeus sometimes misuses his power, that’s what a king does.  Of course Artemis’s wrath is wild and painful, that’s what nature can be.  Of course Hades snatched away a young girl from her mother’s arms, that’s what death does.  This is one of the reasons callout posts for some gods comparing them negatively to ‘nicer’ gods are kind of missing the point.

I believe in all new age magic stuff especially evil magic. I believe that you can completely summon a demon and talk to it using tutorials you see in a Discord server called Grove of the Shadows where everyone’s username is like 𝖈𝖔𝖗𝖛𝖎𝖉𝖆𝖊 in dark purple and the server has a dedicated channel for talking about weed. This is real to me. However I believe that Hecate takes away all your powers the instant you try to defend yourself from anyone making fun of you

To my witchy college students, you can incorporate your major into your practice. Any major, any minor. Seriously, if you’re spending all of this time and money working towards a degree and learning about this field you wish to work in, why not create ways to work these findings into your witching? As an art student I’ve been finding ways to use specific mediums for the raw materials they are derived from, gaining access to things like lapis lazuli and cobalt that would have never otherwise been available. The same is true for your fields of study!! Use this new knowledge in as many places as you can apply it!! Do your research and get spooky ♧

I don’t know who needs to hear this but having doubts about your practice is totally normal and actually beneficial.

Questioning everything is intelligence.

May Hermes guide those fleeing war, abuse, domestic violence, and any other horrible situation to places of safety and refuge.

May Apollo help with the healing that follows.
