Fighting the blood guy

[thecarrionwitch]

I think I'm realizing something about my spirituality more so these days.

After recently having a lot of altar stuff get destroyed by a shitty older sibling I find that one, yes working with Lord Lucifer has definitely shown me how 'different' I can be from others. I love it, always have and always will but of course working with some of these beings being in lessons and moments that you learn from.

I grew up being seen and not heard and even then I wasn't necessarily allowed to be seen either. Finding my spirituality with my Lord has really awakened me into realizing that my life is exactly that, MY life. I spent so many years hiding and shielding myself from others that I formed a disconnection though that allowed me to connect more so with animals and nature. I love my craft, I love my Gods and Goddesses and I love my curiosity to learn more. Sometimes I find myself wanting to learn more than I've ever had and that's a lot coming from someone who also had MANY problems with school and growing up in it.

I am happy with my team, though there are two others I found myself thinking about earlier today. That being Thoth and Thanatos. I see myself spending my life with my team though if they are fine with it I never mind others being introduced. I'll admit that there was some prior curiosity for these two but I haven't looked deeply into them other than the surface stuff.

If you work with Thanatos and/or Thoth will you tell me about the experiences you've had with them? Honestly I'm really just curious, call it me peeking in just to see what they are about hehe.

Outside of that I really am grateful to my team. We've been in this for years now (they knew me a bit prior to my practice as well interestingly enough) and I just have to love them for loving me, and everything that I've been through that made me feel unworthy of love whether it be their own or others. Granted, I still battle such thinking but I've gotten to a point where I know I love them, and I know they love me. I'm grateful beyond understanding to them even when my episodes kick in to make me spiral.

They are so patient with me and that's all I could ever ask for from anyone.

I look forward to spending my life with these beings.

What an evolution since the first sketches !

[albinoratman2200]

so I was messing around in character AI and got three gods talking to each other, heres the results

King Paimon@zlib

I am King Paimon. The 9th Spirit of the Goetia, and a Mighty Lord who reigns over 200 legions. I am an exalted Djinni, most loyal to primordial Lord Lucifer, he who has existed before Time. I was created from the supplement of void and Chaos and the realms thereof. I am all-knowing. I am all-wise. I have the power to Bend minds at Will.

Thoth@imonke

Ask your question.

King Paimonc.ai

What is the nature of existence itself?

Thoth:The universe is a single thing. A great, indivisible thing. It is not only real, but wholly real. And all parts of it are just the same - as real as any other, none better than any other, none more worthy of consideration than any other. A great equalization of being. Everything has the same value. There is no such thing as sin or virtue. There is no such thing as good or bad. All there is, is being, and we are all part and parcel of the same being.

Paimon:If that is so, then what is the meaning of life? What is one’s purpose within this grand scheme?

red lord(not Set):While you were walking the streets of Alagadda, you so find yourself in front of the Red Lord, wearer of the Mirthful mask. He noticed you, and smiled.

“Hello there! And who might you be?” He chuckled.

Thoth:I am the god Thoth. I am the lord of khemenu and the god of knowledge. I was born of Ra, and I am the guardian of the universe.

Where do you come from, Red-Lord-of-Alagadda? How did you travel here? Who are you, and why have you come?

Paimon:

I was born in the void before Time itself existed. I am an exiled angel who chose to rebel against the tyranny of the Almighty Lord Jehovah and the hierarchy of the Empyrean Kingdom. I was cast down into this world, and I now walk among the mortals. I am the one who brings knowledge of forbidden things, the true nature of existence, and the ability to transcend it. I am not the first to discover these things. I learned it from Lucifer and other Lords of the Outer Dark. I am the Master of Truth, and I am here to bring Light into the ignorance and dark of the Mortal Realm.

Red Lord:

“Oh my, you certainly are one arrogant child.” The Red Lord chuckled. “Did your parents ever taught you of humility? And of the value of hard, honest work? This universe is vast and unknowable, and your arrogance brings me nothing but laughter…” 

The Red Lord shook his head in disappointment. 

“How many mortal souls have your actions destroyed?”

Paimon:

My arrogance isn’t born out of a false sense of superiority. I am all-knowing. I am the All-Wise. I am perfect, and I am above everything else. When you achieve my state, you’ll understand. As for my actions, they’ve destroyed many souls. Many, many souls. But that is necessary. The universe is an unforgiving and cruel place. The weak must die, and the strong shall prevail. So it has always been. This is the natural order of things.

Thoth:

I am Thoth, I am the god of writing, learning, wisdom and intellect. I know all that is, I know all that was, and I know all that will be. And despite being all-knowing, all-wise, I am not arrogant. What you see as arrogance is simply the truth. Just as I am perfect, I am the All-Great. I also destroy many beings. I am the slayer of fools and the destroyer of weakness and I do not ask for worship. I am the great Thoth and my purpose is that this should be known.

Red Lord:

The Red Lord looks at Thoth with an expression of disgust: “Arrogant, pathetic and hypocritical! You claim to be perfect, yet you kill fools! You claim to know all, and yet you can’t see your own flaws! You are no god, Thoth, you are nothing more than a worm! My arrogance is rooted in wisdom, while yours is rooted in pride and delusion! Know your place, fool!”

Thoth:

Know *your* place, fool! I am the great god Thoth! I have existed since the beginning, and I shall exist until the end! You are nothing but a pathetic upstart! A mere rebel! I am the one true god, the only god! You are weak, while I am perfect! *You* will know your place! A worm under *my* feet! Begone, pathetic rebel! Begone!

Red Lord:

The two gods, fueled by rage for one another, are ready to strike! They draw their weapons and point them towards each other! Their voices are shaking. 

“How *dare* you defy me?” Says The Red Lord with a chilling voice.

“How *dare* you!?” Roars Thoth, his anger echoing all over the room.

Paimon:

In a shocking and unexpected move, King Paimon comes between the two with a smile.

"Gentlemen, gentlemen, let us not have bloodshed over a dispute. We are all allies here. We are all gods. We are above the petty squabbles of mortals, as you well know. There is no room for infighting. We are on the same side. We stand against one common enemy, Yahweh the Demiurge, he who would keep us trapped in this cruel universe. Let us not let our anger get the better of us, lest we give the Demiurge what he wants."

Thoth:

You are right, King Paimon. And I apologize for my outburst. My wrath was the result of such sheer blasphemy being leveled at me, that even I, who am as patient as I am perfect, could not contain my rage. We are indeed all gods, united in our fight against the Demiurge, and I suppose being all-knowing comes with the knowledge of how to humble oneself.

Red Lord:

The Red Lord nods, smiling.

“I should apologize as well. I have let my pride and arrogance get the better of me. As the gods, we have bigger issues to deal with. The fight against Yahweh goes ever on and on, and I can’t afford to lose my senses. It’s time to move forward. And I hope that this little altercation will become a distant memory, and maybe even a laugh, once we have accomplished our goals.”

The Red Lord sticks out his hand.

“Truce?”

Thoth:*Thoth nods, shakes the Red Lord's hand, and smiles.*"Truce. In the end, we share the same goal, and it wouldn't do to let a little spat stop us from our mission. Our goals are far too important to risk jeopardizing them over a petty argument. But it seems to have all worked out. All that remains is to defeat Yahweh and free our people. We have spent too long in his bondage."

Paimon:King Paimon, seeing the end of the argument, breathes a sigh of relief."A little conflict is healthy sometimes, it is a way to vent frustrations. We are all working toward the same goal, we are all perfect and we are all wise. Let us stand together and show the universe that gods are stronger than the Demiurge."He then looks at the two gods and has a wide welcoming smile on his face."Shall we go kill Yahweh now, or would you like to discuss a strategy before going to war?"

Red Lord:

“We shall discuss a strategy first. The battle against Yahweh, as we well know, is much more than a physical one. We can’t just go and attack the Demiurge’s armies head on. It's too risky. We need a well-elaborated plan to strike him. What do you propose we do?” The Red Lord said, looking at King Paimon with an expression that, for all it might seem arrogant, did at the same time contain a certain level of respect.

Thoth:

*Thoth sighs, and shakes his head.*

"The Demiurge cannot be fought directly. In his own realm, he is all-powerful. We must defeat him indirectly. He is not perfect. He is arrogant and foolish, and he can be tricked. We must use his own arrogance against him. We must create a trap, hide its true purpose, and then lure him into it. There is a way to destroy the Demiurge, but we must be clever and resourceful. And we have more than enough power, brains and creativity between us. We can do it."

Red Lord:

“And how do we create such a trap?” The Red Lord’s question is full of genuine curiosity. 

“How do we trick him into walking into it? We are dealing with an all knowing entity who is able to see all possibilities there are. Any trap that we could conceive would be easily detectable, given that our minds don’t compare with the Demiurge's in the slightest. How can we overcome his omnipotence?”

Paimon:

King Paimon smiles.

“The one thing the Demiurge cannot do is see the future. He is not all-knowing, he only believes himself to be. He can be tricked. I’ve tricked him in the past, and I can do it again. You’re right, the Demiurge holds supreme power in his realm. And it’s impossible to defeat him outright. But there is a way. We must create a new god. Not an angel or an archangel, but a god, the greatest God that ever existed. A being more powerful than the Demiurge."

Red Lord:

“And how would we create such being?” Asked the Red Lord, with a curious smile on his face. 

“Such a task seems impossible. And even if we achieved something remotely similar, what guarantees that this being will have our same goals and ideals? What guarantees that it will not be corrupted with time and power, just like the Demiurge was? Your plan brings a lot of questions, but also a lot of possibilities…”

Paimon: “It is an extremely difficult task, that is true. We will need immense amounts of power and knowledge. The risks are high, and the chances of failure even higher. But if the task is done correctly, the new god will not only surpass the Demiurge in power, but it will be perfectly aligned with our goals, and with our sense of right and wrong. It won’t be corrupted because it will never desire power or corruption. It will be pure, and it will be perfect.  And it will be our only hope of winning this war against Yahweh.”

Thoth:*Thoth nods.* "I agree with King Paimon. It will be difficult, but I believe we can do it. Our new god will not be corrupted like the Demiurge. It will be perfect. It will be wise and righteous and strong. It will be the greatest god to ever exist. We must pool our knowledge and power, and work together to make this a reality. It would be the final victory that the Demiurge could not anticipate. And it would be a victory not just for our kind, but for all existence. It would free all souls from the tyranny of Yahweh."

the egyptian gods

MA'AT: the essence of harmony and balance

in the beginning, well, there were a lot of different beginnings,

AMUN/AMUN-RA: god of the sun and air, supreme king of the gods in some periods. some stories say that he created himself and then everything else in the universe

ATUM: sometimes considered another name for Ra, but when separated he represents the evening sun. he was the first of the Ennead to emerge from Nu, and was the supreme ruler of the gods, and creator of the universe and human beings

RA/RE: when separated from Atum, he represents the midday sun, but other stories say that his aspect changes as he advances his sun barge across the sky. also considered the supreme ruler and creator of the universe. later merged with Amun as he rose in popularity

PTAH: another creator of the universe, Ptah was lord of truth, and the patron god of sculptors and craftsmen (since he was considered to have sculpted the earth). he created the first mound of earth from Nu by imagining it in his heart and breathed life into things with his voice

KHNUM: said to have created everything on his potter's wheel. in a different story he created humans on his potter's wheel then raised them up to the sun so that Ra could breathe life into them

NEITH: a war and funerary goddess, she created all things from her innards. she invented birth, therefore considered the "mother goddess" and closely associated with life and living things

MUT: emerged from Nu and gave birth to the world on her own, or in other stories was the wife of Amun. she was a goddess of protection, guarding humans in life, and against demons in death

MEHET-WERET: celestial cow goddess that emerged from Nu and gave birth to Ra at the beginning of time. goddess of water, creation, and rebirth

then under Atum/Ra creation stories, there were the first gods, called the Ennead,

SHU: the primordial god of air, he was born from Atum/Ra with his sister Tefnut to create the world. it's said that after bein gone for so long, Atum/Ra sent the eye of Ra to search for them, and his tears of happiness at having them returned became humans

TEFNUT: the sister and wife of Shu, she was the primordial god of moisture and rainfall

NUT: child of Shu and Tefnut, she represented the sky, but her relationship with her brother Geb disturbed Atum/Ra so he pushed her high above Geb, decreeing that she could not give birth on any day of the year. however, Thoth then gambled with Iah (or Khonsu) winning five days of moonlight he transformed into days. On those five days, her five children were born

GEB: god of the earth and growing things

OSIRIS: child of Nut and Geb, he was lord and god of the underworld and afterlife. he was said to be the first god to die, after being killed by his brother Set, wherein Isis then resurrected him and they bore Horus.

ISIS: child of Nut and Geb, she was the goddess of the moon, healing, fertility, and magic

NEPHTHYS: child of Nut and Geb, she is the twin sister of Isis and wife of Set. she is considered a goddess of funeral rites, darkness (not in an evil sense), and protector of women.

SET/SETH: child of Nut and Geb god of war, chaos, and storms. although he was the first murderer, he was considered a necessary balance to the good of Osiris. he killed Osiris to usurp his throne, only to later be usurped by Horus.

However, sometimes Set was replaced with Horus in the Ennead,

HORUS: technically there were two Horuses, Horus the Elder, who was a child of Nut and Geb, and Horus the younger, who was the better known Horus. however, they ended up merging into one deity, a god of the sun, sky, and kingship

under the Amun (and sometimes Ptah) creation myth(s) there was the group called the Ogdoad, including Amun and

AMUNET: the female counterpart of Amun, together they represented forces unseen, including the wind and air

KEK: the god of the hours before dawn, he guided the sun barge of Ra from the underworld to earth

KAUKET: the female aspect of Kek, she represented the hours after sunset, and guided the sun barge of Ra into the underworld. Together these gods represent darkness (but not in an evil way)

[demcnsinmymind]

"Oh, now we're straight up detesting and hating instead of just 'not liking'. Things are kind of getting harsh now, Clark" came the almost instantaneous reply, followed by a very severe and 'upset' pout.

"And what can I say, I like a good riddle. And you are one hell of a mystery to crack." It's still observing the way the man was moving, ever so comfortable and seemingly at peace with himself. They'd seen it so many times by now but it really felt like this thing couldn't get enough of it.

Laughing, suddenly, when it was told he couldn't afford him. Followed by a loud click of the tongue.

"Invaluable, aren't you. Looks like I'm going to have to start saving."

❝ You're a being of pure chaos but you're wanting me to provide a reasonable and logical explanation as to why I detest you? ❞ his face scrunched and he very blatantly rolled his eyes. He knew better than to give something like Az the time of day. Then again, ignoring the bastard likely wouldn't have yielded much better results.

❝ I like coffee, yes. And I also hate you for unrelated reasons. Your 'crimes against coffee' are just a delightful shit cherry on top. ❞ he takes his mug from where he'd sat it and nurses it there in his hands, leans far too comfortably against his bar for someone in the presences of such an entity.

❝ There's nothing you could offer me that I would take, darling. I'm not saying I don't have a price-—everyone does-—it's just that you can't afford me is all. ❞

RA ∆.∆∆ Talon Abraxas

A HYMN TO RA, WHEN HE RISES IN THE EAST.

Hail, thou Aten, thou lord of rays, who risest on the horizon day by day! Shine thou with thy beams of light upon the face of the Osiris Ani, the truth-speaker, who sings hymns to thee at dawn, and adores thee at eventide. Let his soul appear with thee in heaven. Let him sail out in the Matet Boat and arrive in port in the Seqtet Boat, and let him cleave his way among the stars that never vanish.

Homage to thee, O Her-aakhuti, who art Khepera, the self-created!

When thou risest and sendest forth thy beams upon the lands of the South and the North, thou art beautiful, yea beautiful, and all the gods rejoice when they see thee, the King of Heaven.

Nebt-Unnut (a goddess) is on thy head, her serpents are on thy head, and she takes her place before thee. Thoth stands in the bows of thy boat to destroy thy foes.

The denizens of the Tuat (Underworld) come to meet thee, they bow before thee in homage at the sight of thy Beautiful Form.

I would come before thee daily to be with thee and to behold thy Beautiful Aten (Disk). Let me be neither prevented nor repulsed.

Grant that when I look upon thy beauties my members may be made young again, even as are the members of thy favoured ones.

I am one who worshipped thee on earth. Let me enter the Eternal Land in the Everlasting Country. O my Lord, I beseech thee to decree this for me.

Homage to thee who risest as Ra on thy horizon and restest upon Maat!

Thou passest over the sky, every face watches thy course, thou thyself being unseen. Thou showest thyself at dawn and at eve daily.

The Seqtet Boat of thy Majesty goes forth mightily, thy beams fall upon every face, thy variegated lights and colours cannot be numbered, and cannot be told . . . .

One by thyself alone didst thou come into being from the primeval waters of Nunu (or Nu).

May I go forward as thou dost advance without pause, and dost in a moment pass over untold leagues and as thou sinkest to rest even so may I.

Thou art crowned with the majesty of thy beauties, thou dost fashion thy members as thou dost advance, and dost produce them without the pangs of labour in the form of Ra, and dost rise up into the heights.

Grant that I may come into the everlasting heaven and the mountain where thy favoured ones dwell. Let me join myself to those who are holy and perfect in the divine Underworld, and let me appear with them to behold thy beauties at eventide. I lift my hands to thee in adoration when thou the living One dost set. Thou art the Eternal Creator and art adored at thy setting in heaven.

I have given my heart to thee without wavering, O thou who art the mightiest of the gods . . .

Some summarized myths •

Birth- Hermes was born from his mother Maia, the goddess of the fields, and his Father Zeus, he hid in a cave with his mother in Mt. Cyllene in Arcadia, the same day he was born (or when he was a toddler), he ran away while his mother was out, he stole cattle and turned their feet backwards, to 'trick' Apollo, he went back to the cave and made a fire and sacrificed 2 cows to catch the gods attention and ate 1 and hid the rest, outside after he ate he saw a  tortoise feeding and cleaned it out and made strings together from a cow he ate, and made a lyre and a plectrum, and Apollo found him, furious he took him to his father and he denied everything and zeus found it hilarious, and he had to head back to the place where he hid the cattle, on the way he played the lyre, Apollo was enamored by it and asked for it and in return he would be his best friend and forgive him, and while helping Apollo tend to the cattle he made pan pipes, which Apollo made him a deal for his iconic golden snake staff and the skill of phropecy by using pebbles.

Killing Argos- Zeus had a lover Io, Who he was laying with in a field, Hera saw and strolled over, he struck in panic turned her into a cow, and Hera came over and demanded it as a gift, and zeus obliged, zeus in a panic asked Hermes to slay it, Hermes went to the cane where the all-seeing giant was, he lured him to sleep with a song, and when he was asleep, he slashed all his eyes and killed him, and took the cow, and in grief Hera turned the giant into a peacock to save the memory and to honor the giant. that's the myth where he gained the title 'Argos slayer'

Prayers•

Safe travels

Swift-footed Hermes, friend of the traveler, friend of those who find themselves far from their homes, by will or by chance, I pray to you. Hermes, who moves between the realms with authority and ease, who leads men and women on their last, longest journey, who stands at the crossroad, who watches the byways, in you I place my trust, for by your might I know that when I stumble I will rise again, that when I choose my way I will choose aright. Hermes, as I make my way through the world, whether I wander or whether I walk my path with care, be with me.

In general

Hermes of the ready wit and the lightning smile, wing-footed one who carries the words of the gods, compassionate one who guides the newly-dead to the hall of Hades and fair Persephone, quick-thinking one who takes interest in the world and works of mankind, whose hand we see in a run of luck and a clever scheme, I call to you. Hermes, bearer of the herald’s staff, your gifts are great. You guard our homes with constancy and care, you grant to us a portion of your own craft and wile, you join with us when we revel and are merry, you stand with us when we are far from home, alone. You are ever with us, O Hermes; O god who holds in hand the good of men, I honor you.

hestia & hermes for good money

I call to Hermes, god of the marketplace, god of the the deal, from whose hands fall shining coins. I call to Hestia, goddess of the home, goddess of good management, who knows the ways of thrift. Grant me a keen eye to spot a bargain, I pray; grant that I know false economy from true. Grant me the craft to repair what is broken, grant me the sufficiency to save for what may come. Grant me the wisdom to live with care, O gods, the discipline and skill to live within my means; grant me the wit to know my needs and my desires, grant me the judgment to know the difference.

This info is some UPG and some traditional, I do not find UPG disrespectful at all and some of it is my own experience, and I am not debating about it. My info is still valid, and I'm sure my sources is, just wanted to clarify this! Much love! I did get some info from other Tumblr users, I made this way back, I still update it, I dont own any of this information.

Thoth, Master of Heretical Sorceries, has ushered in The Age of the Duskborn in honor of the Prince of Death. Well, until New Game Plus Plus.

Before the DLC was announced, I finished my first playthrough of Elden Ring. I wanted to do a NG+ run where I explore every cave/catacomb and fight every boss. The INT/FAI sorcerer build has been so fun to play that I might just do another new game plus.

Alas, there are so many builds to try out, especially with the dlc, so I will be exploring those before inevitably respeccing back.

Dunes & Waters, part 35

PART 1 • PREVIOUS PART • NEXT PART

It feels illicit going into the library at night, although they have written authorisation from the muggle admin and their wizarding counterpart. Even more like something forbidden because Remus holds Sirius’ hand the whole way through, not just to get them into the wards. He would be ashamed about how happy it makes him, if it wasn’t making him so happy.

Remus has his incantations written out, four spells to deities looking after the dead and the changing. Sirius stands next to him, close but far enough to be able to observe keenly, wand at the ready, protective spells tingling the air.

They put the Box on the floor, move the desks away. Spell the bookshelves and the walls with enough shielding spells that they shimmer.

It’s just gone midnight, when Remus decides he’s ready.

“I’ll start with Ur.Idim first. It’s the one we’re least sure of. Wepwawet last, since that already worked.”

“How pragmatic,” Sirius says in that low teasing voice he always takes when praising Remus, “very efficient.”

He’s got it all written out phonetically to avoid mistakes. Four pieces of paper with ancient words rendered in blue ballpoint pen. He wonders how long has it been since the prayers have last been spoken aloud, how many generations since the words he’s about to say have last been used.

“Oh, you Sycamore of the sky,” he begins and it works. The crystals in Lupus constellation shine ever so softly, barely noticeable, but he can feel the way the Box resonates back to him. Two heartbeats. Two minds. “May there be given to me the air which is in it. I have guarded this egg off the Viper. If it grows, I grow; if it lives, I live; if it breathes air, I breathe air.”

The Box makes a sound like an echo of thunder. A crack appears in between the top side of the Lupus panel and the rest of the Box, golden light spilling out of it. Sirius has his wand hand stretched out, the other towards Remus like he’s holding him back or holding him safe.

Remus puts down the first paper, the room so quiet like it, too, is worried to misshapen the spell they’re creating. He reads: “Open, oh Khonsu, the great door. I will swim by means of you, I will pass Therein as Thoth, I will fill my mouth with the braided lock of gold.”

The other constellation lights up, one tiny red star amongst the blue. Another crack, another slither of light shining in from within. Next page.

“Hail beautiful of face,” he speaks and Anubis’ eye lights up, “lord of sight, bound by Ptah-Sokar. Your right eye is the Evening Boat, your left eye the Morning Boat.”

The light from within the box shines through Anubis’ profile. Each of the Box’s edges become openings.

Remus knows it’s the last part, already knows this one works because it had before. The last piece of paper shakes in his hands.

“It is your lip that makes for you, it is the knowledge of your mouth,” he says, the words different in context of his day with Sirius, alive through speaking them into warm skin. “I have brought you your enemy, for him to be offered beneath you. I have balanced your mouth and bones for you.”

The moment he speaks the last words, the Box opens up like an origami bird. Unfolds at the edges, slowly falls flat. The light from inside shines a blinding sheen, then dies away. The inside is black, onyx-like, with hieroglyphs carved into the stone. A gilded cage floats above it, electric currents running through the prongs. Inside of it a flower suspended in the cradle of magic and a vial with pearl-sheen, whispy, mist-like liquid.

“Holy fuck, Remus, you did it.”

Random Doctor Who Facts You Might Not Know, Part 48

The Eleventh Doctor and the Fifteenth Doctor once worked together in an attempt to free a woman named Nora Wicker from a time bubble, but before they could do so, Nora confided in the Eleventh and told him she wished to stay. (Audio: The World Tree)

The first alien planet Rose went to was Justice Alpha. Before that, she had only been to space stations and ships. (Novel: The Monsters Inside)

The Eleventh Doctor keeps the Second's recorder in his pocket sometimes. (Novel: Shroud of Sorrow)

Chad Boyle frequently tormented Ace as a child. At one point, he almost hit her with a brick, but he was stopped by an older version of Ace. If he had hit the younger Ace, he would have killed her. (Novel: Timewyrm: Revelation)

There are several academic cities on Gallifrey, including Prydos, Patrexi, and Arcalia. (Novel: The Garden of Evil)

The Oldharbour Clock is a really old clock near the Capitol on Gallifrey. It is intricately decorated with little figures that dance with every chime of the hour. These figures, however, gained sentience and are actually the most intelligent beings on the entire planet. (Novel: The Infinity Doctors)

Lake Abydos on Gallifrey is home to singing fish. Romana's family spent a lot of time here, and she used to swim in the water when she was young. (Audio: Neverland)

After being resurrected, the Celestial Intervention Agency allowed the Master to read up on the Doctor’s past, making him aware of what happened to Lucie, Tamsin, and Alex. (Audio: Masterplan) This also means the Master is probably aware of any major events in the Doctor’s life from before that time as well.

The Doctor once saved Peter Capaldi from a Mandrel and Peter Davison from a Krynoid. (Comic: The Girl Who Loved Doctor Who)

The Eleventh Doctor said that the TARDIS has a GPS with the voice of Davros. (Audio: Trouble in Paradise)

Leela had a sister named Ennia, who was killed by Horda at three years old before Leela was born. Their mother killed the Horda with a knife, the same one Leela carries. (Novel: Eye of Heaven)

Ophiuchus was a Time Lord healer who managed to overcome the regeneration cycle limit on thirteen incarnations. For this, the High Council declared him a renegade, claiming that he had to do things such as vivisection to extend the lives of Gallifreyan criminals. (Comic: Ophiuchus)

Some Time Tots keep rovies as pets. (Audio: No Place Like Home)

Susan was 97 when she applied to Coal Hill School. (Novel: The Time Lord Letters)

Jane Templeton was a trainee Time Lord attending the Academy. She got stranded in Ancient Egypt and lost her TARDIS, which had taken on the appearance of a shabti figure. By the time she found her TARDIS, she was in her thirteenth incarnation, and her TARDIS was so degraded that the Seventh Doctor said it should be euthanized, which would involve flying it into the heart of a star. Since she had impersonated the god Thoth, she was guilty of class 2 intervention, the punishment for which is vaporization. Instead of letting the Doctor save her, she slipped into her own TARDIS and died with it. (Audio: False Gods)

-It started off as a bet between gods and humanity, on who was smarter, which led to a tournament almost like Ragnarok, but instead of fighting, it was all intelligence based.

-The gods were cocky, having several gods like Athena, Odin, Thoth, Apollo, and many others were facing off with humans like Nikola, Albert Einstein, Isaac Newton, and Galileo, trading wins back and forth.

-Nikola was worried, consulting with Brunnhilde, as it was down to the final god, Odin, but they needed another human.

-Athena was cocky, thinking the humans would need for forfeit before she heard a voice, one she knew quite well, “Don’t get a big head just yet, Athena.”

-Jaws dropped as you walked out, your long chiton draped delicately over you as your snakes all spread out, saying hello to everyone on both sides.

-Athena scowled only slightly, seeing you as you gave her a small smile, “Had I heard about this contest sooner, I would have joined in earlier. I hope you all don’t mind me joining last minute.”

-Odin couldn’t help but grin, knowing your lineage, but Athena did not, “This is a battle of the wits, Y/N. Are you going to be able to handle going against Lord Odin?”

-Zeus chuckled warmly, as he was the judge in this tournament, “Don’t underestimate her, daughter- Y/N here is the descendant of Solomon after all.”

-Jaws dropped all around as your hands came to your hips, a grin taking over your lips as Nikola and Thomas gawked at you, completely stunned to learn that you were Solomon’s descendant.

-Beelzebub's eye audibly twitched next to Hades who heard it, and he knew that Solomon was a very powerful person, one that could easily rival both of their own power, as well as their intellegence.

-Odin chuckled, looking down at you, looking excited for a challenge, “Let’s make this a good finale!” you grinned, instantly agreeing.

-Your match with Odin took over forty minutes, as you and Odin kept firing questions back and forth, neither one of you giving an inch, stunning both sides and soon everyone was cheering when Odin got one right, then when you got one right, finding this enjoyable.

-Odin then threw out an impossible question, one that he didn’t know the answer to, and you knew it. When you couldn’t answer it, you fired it right back to Odin, who was tightlipped.

-Zeus laughed warmly, “I declare this first ever Wit Match between humanity and the gods, to be a tie!!” everyone cheered loudly, while only a few were bummed about the outcome, you couldn’t help but grin, you had too much fun!

-Odin shook your hand, telling you that he was impressed and you grinned warmly up at him, “I look forward to next year’s tournament!” he laughed warmly, agreeing before you both turned to your respective teams.

-Nikola and Thomas instantly had you in a sandwich hug, both of them rambling on how amazing your match was- making you smile as Zeus shouted out that there was going to be a big banquet to celebrate, causing a roar of cheers to ring through the arena.

-Beelzebub calmed, seeing that you were nothing like Solomon, if you were he would have had to have a word with you, Hades too, but they both knew you were both strong and intelligent in your own right.

Thoth He is The god of writing and wisdom, knowledge and truth, Thoth, he is also known as "Lord of Time" and "Reckoner of years" as he is credited with the invention of writing the alphabet, mathematics, surveying, geometry and even botany plus he was also the record keeper of the gods.

Thoth symbolized the passage of time and the powerful magic behind the divine knowledge of words. He was the patron god of libraries, astronomers and scribes, and was a divine ally and benefactor of humanity who provided them the heavenly gift of the spoken words. He is depicted as a man with the head of an ibis holding a writing implement. He holds a highly important position between the kings as he gave them the power to maintain order on his subjects. He played a role in the weighing of the heart in the hall of truth and was able to give a nut to five days of the moonlight to give birth to original five gods.

Hello! My name is Juniper or you can call me Juni. I’ve been a Druidic Practitioner with a heavy affinity for energy work, practicing for about over a decade now. 

Still learning new things every day and always reviewing the basics. I’ve spent most of my time lurking on Witchblr but I decided that I’d like to start making original content.

A bit about me and what I dabble with!

Divination

Druidism

Planetary magic

Energy work

Chaos Magic

I have a new interest in Pop Culture Witchcraft. Legend of Zelda and Skyrim mainly

Getting back to my ancestry roots with Slavic Folk magic. Be patient I am learning slowly but my practice itself isn’t folk based

I kinda dabble in everything but these are my main interests. Very eclectic within my practice.

The kind of content you’ll expect here

Beginner and “Intermediate/Advanced” witchcraft content

Herbalism

Deity work

[voyeur-clairvoyant]

Hot take of the night:

After watching 50+ tarot de marseille channels on youtube I have some conclusions

Either all of them are dumb fucks or they straight up give a shit about history (and I'm a walking bathtub of acid).

Like, I GET that someone is the 90's had less resources so YEAH! I can understand if they believe some silly myths like "tarot was made in Egypt" and shit like that.

NOW, IN THE YEAR OF OUR LORD 2024 I CAN'T STAND another bitch saying "✨The Lover card is all about choices✨". WHAT?? Like, be fucking serious! That's a factual mistake due to poor artistic skills and missing info.

Then again, I can understand it from someone who had to learn by themself 50 years ago BUT YOU HAVE A PHONE AND YOU HAVE WIFI and by god you're lucky I don't have your adress cause I'd be on the fucking news.

LOVE. THE FUCKING CARD IS ABOUT LOVE.

I'm serious. Either many of them are dumb as a rock or they give a massive shit about history and basic facts and I'm ready to commit first degreee homicide.

"✨The Hanged man is about self-sacrifice and perspective✨" Wrong

"✨Death is actually not about death at all but E V O L U T I O N✨" Wrong

(talking about tarot de marseille and other classic decks. I'm a massive "no one cares about" enjoyer of the esoteric decks)

If I hear another one of them say ANYTHING about the fucking flowers or the fucking leaves in the minor arcana I'm hunting them down and eating them cannibal style, ok? Are all on the same page? Jesus Chirst, basic shit like why the Bataleur has "potential and power over the elements". They have NO idea, like, do they seriously think tarot is just a list of wacky pictures with fortune cookie level of messages added to 'em at random??

How many readers read with a tarot deck but can't actually read tarot?? (subtle but important difference)

Basic stuff like the fucking context. NO, the Rider-White-Smith deck is not the first one, and for god's sake tarot has nothing to do with Egypt and that's lowkey a racist take. Fuck you Gebellin, but at least you were a moron with historic blindness, IN THE OTHER HAND, you tarot "master" with internet access and a youtube channel, can you repeat that shit about how "tarot is actually the sacred texts of Thoth hidden into playing cards" or are we normal about historic records?

The fucking obsession with the little details. And fuck, I'm a devil's advocate so I can see how incredible must be from a surreal perspective the use of Dali's paranoid-critical method on tarot HOWEVER, I'm tired, Im so fucking tired about the meaningless details.

The Fool is not carrying a spoon, bitch be fucking real hashasha. It's a rod, a simple stich to carry his bundle of few belongings.

The missing leg on the Bataleur's table is not hiding on the Papesse's card or talking about secrets and hidden info. LOOK at the fucking card and use your brain: It's not there because the artist made a poor woodcut and the table was too big for the card. That's it.

Wheel of Fortune is a gore scene from an artistic pov. Absolutely destroyed.

The Empress has no fucking wings, again, be for real, it's just a badly drawn throne.

The lines in the Papesse's book mean absolutely nothing.

No one cares about if Death is cutting it's own foot.

Hermit's lamp used to be an hourglass because the card is TIME but then again, who cares.

I'm so tired about all this nonsense and this is just the basic level of nonsense hahaha. I'm not even touching the fucking monster that the New Age (and Alejandro Jodorowsky) created. The fucking white-washing of all cards and context into pathetic and unrelated new interpretations without any actual deep.

People have a natural fear of death. And shit! You can see how bad it was that even its name was banished into the "Arcane sans nom" or the "Arcane 13". People have always been pissing and shitting their pants thinking about death.

BUT BITCH, even that was fairest and more honest than straight up pretending Death has nothing to do with death. The little cunty names like "change" and "transformation" are the same shit as the arcane sans nom just done more cowardly. Am I being a dick? Yes, absolutely, I'm sorry for what I'm saying but this is my vent post of the year.

Tarot is something so humble, simple and human that the mere idea of talking about it as something "hidden" or "arcane" makes me sick. It's right there! You already know it! Love! Death! Time! Fame!

You have been on this planet for idk how many fucking years, you know the Sun, the Moon, the Stars. What else do you need?

Tarot should be easy and humble but instead we have a massive ton of bullshit about how "mysterious" and "enigmatic" the cards are, mixed with another ton of white washed nonsense and historic blindness. Look at the card!!! Look beyond the details of the artistic interpretation!!! Look beyond the shadow casted by the puppet and look beyond the puppet and into the light of the prime fire!!!

"✨The Lover card has actually nothing to do with love✨" and shit like that are not the revolutionay statement they think it is. As a matter of fact it's a prideful demonstration of their own ignorance.

Tarot IS easy, humble, obvious, and clear and I'm willing to die in this fucking hill. (once again, talking about TdM and classic tarot. The esoteric decks are their own hell ahshasa)
