Lionel Lindsay - The Witch (1924)

[stormbornwitch]

The land on which I walk is old. One of the oldest places on earth. The spirits of the land don't speak with me in a language I understand. My ancestors came to this land as prisoners and sailors. They brought with them practices and stories that don't match the land or its voices.

It is slow going, but I am learning the land and its seasons and traditional holidays, so different from those practised by my ancestors. I'm learning the traditional names of the places here and their stories. I'm trying to weave it into my practice, but it feels so separate due to our staunchly different cultural origins.

Even just the idea of 'witchcraft' is so European. The 'magic' of the traditional owners of the land on which I live tastes so different from my own. They also wouldn't call it magic... I don't know how to explain it. I've been talking with some of the local elders about how they would tell/ask for certain weather, and its been interesting to learn the signs, plants, and taste of local 'magic'.

This probably will not make any sense to anyone who isn't practising witchcraft in Australia, but meh - just some thoughts I had as I watched the black cockatoos at work.

Guilty Gear Accent Core + R Opening Screenshots

I did promise these earlier yesterday, so here they are now! I got these directly from my Switch hence the higher (I hope) quality compared to the pictures I've posted so far. I do intend on getting all of the characters' from the openings of the games before I start on stuff such as actual in game photos or other stuff like that. But for now enjoy the photos!

Norman Lindsay (Australian, 1879 - 1969) - Mad Tom Dreaming

[stormbornwitch]

Now is the time of change; of storms; of destruction; of breaking down barriers and old ways of doing things.

To make it through this time, you must be like water and change as well.

Like streams, rivers, the ocean, rain, hail, sleet, snow, or ice, you must change your form to suit your conditions.

Do not hold on to material things, status, or position. These things will be dashed against the rocky shore like crashing waves.

I feel this in my bones and in my blood. I hear it in the screaming wind as the storm rages outside.

It is going to get worse before it gets better. You must adapt and try to help as many people as you can.
