People will step over a boundary that you have made clear to them, and then act offended when you go from nice and warm to stone cold and unforgiving. Why did your assume my warmth was for people who violate me.

[burnkastel]

I love you systems with problematic introjects I love you systems creating 'unpalatable' art I love you systems who feel ostracized from system spaces due to their introjects i love you systems with complex trauma that is understood through art

Hedge-Riding

What is Hedge-Riding?

The "hedge" in 'hedge witch' or 'hedge-riding' has multiple meanings, most prominent being the bounary separating this world from the 'Otherworld'. The hedge also represents the physical and psychic boundary separating us from spirit. Hedge witches traditionally practice hedge-riding (also called 'flying the hedge') which allows them to routinely cross the veil into the spiritual Otherworld.

Hedge-riding is defined as a spiritual journey into the Otherworld realms or the collective unconscious. It is shamanic in nature and is generally solitary in practice, although it can be done with multiple participants. Hedge-riding is used for healing, searching for knowledge, divination, or spellwork. Furthermore, hedge-riding is distinct from meditation, astral projection, or path-walking. Hedge-riding is not controlled and you physically leave this realm to travel to others. You do not determine what will or will not happen on the journey.

To hedge-ride, the witch must enter an altered state of consciousness or a trance state. This can be achieved through a variety of techniques including drumming, dancing, chanting, flying ointments, and even mind altering substances.

Hedge-Riding Tools

Realistically, not many tools are needed to hedge-ride, but a few items are especially helpful.

• Protective talisman/pentagram: Wear some sort of protective jewelry to guard your spiritual body

• Cloak/head covering: Will protect from spiritual attachments as spirits often attach to the head or neck

• Wand: Place in your lap before beginning your journey, can be summoned in the other world to defend against unwanted spirits

• Besom/broom: Allows for quick and safe travel, sweep away negative spirits/energy

• Iron: To defend against hostile Fae

• Rowan: Great for protection and defense, enhances spirit communication

• Red cord: Tie to your finger or wrist to help you find your way back if you get lost

• Sigils: Draw relevant sigils on your body or tools to aid you in your journey

Safety Tips

• Don't travel when ill, tired, or stressed

• Travel with spirit guides

• Set a time limit

• Have a spotter

• Trust your instinct and intuition

• Travel with your guides

• Trust very few

• Properly prepare

• Use common sense

Hedge-Riding Methods

Treading the Mill: This is a simple way to enter the Otherworld, but very effective. The witch walks in a "widdershins" or counterclockwise circle around a fixed point such as a tree, rock, or a staff stabbed into the ground, while keeping their gaze on a central point. The pace is slow, but as they begin to focus in and connect with the land and the spirits they may start to feel warm and tingly, hear voices or music, or feel a change in atmosphere as they transcend to the Otherworld.

Gazing: This is similar to scrying, although the experience is much deeper. It is also called "fascination", as the witch becomes deeply fascinated with gazing into a reflective surface. Some of the best options to facilitate this are using a black mirror, flame, or even a chatoyant stone such as labradorite.

Swaying: This is a technique employed by various mystics ancient and modern. Sit comfortably on the floor, legs crossed, and begin a gentle, back and forth, rocking motion. One would typically hum or chant while doing this (knot magick can also be employed here). As you begin to feel the trance take hold, focus your attention on your purpose and allow yourself to be taken away.

"Were just gonna combine you and your dad's pizza"

Oh so we're going to get a pizza that I won't like and can't eat without being sick? Cool

"I know you don't want to be a pain but your just so good at it"

Yes we'll im sorry my boundaries and sensory issues are a bother to you.

"Your brother was thinking the other thing we might do is make tacos? What do you mean you don't like tacos your the spice girl now"

I have hated tacos my entire life this isn't new information and I didn't ask that we not have them just that I was given a heads-up if that was our plan so I could eat before going. Why is it such a problem for me to just want the opportunity to eat food that I like that won't make me sick. Wtf.

Wow I hate talking with my mom about food.

[grapecaseschoices]

b0red 0c infamous ocs rambIes part2

Part 1. Ask.

Philia – Affectionate, Platonic Love.

1 - Does your OC have a Best Friend? If they do then how long have they known each other and how did they meet? If they don’t then do they have a close group of friends they love equally? Or are they more of a loner?

Alana: August. [Just you wait!] Yes, though her best friend doesn't like her anymore. They have known each other since middle school. Is it canon, how they met? I don't remember -- but they were sat next to each other during study group. She also does have a group of friends she loves tho.

BJ: No. He does love his friends but I think it has been hard since Seven, since BJ can be so serious and is rather introverted. Seven was the BJ whisperer. And I don't think any of them really sat to grow around that dynamic, at least not purposefully. I do think if anyone would grow to be the new bestie [Sebastian, lol] during the tour it would be Devyn. Maybe even Orion. So I think he straddles between loves his friends equally and loner.

Hiyam: Yes. And they met in high school. If I recall, through Seven. Surprise, surprise Hiyam DOES love the rest of her friends equally [though she is a bit partial to Jazzy], but Rowan is her best friend.

Lala: Not anymore, though they still have much love fo Seven. They love the bad equal -- Rowan and Iris bust their chops more, and she and Iris have an aesthetic vibe but equal!

Ori: Seven will be Ori's best friend til the day he dies [unless does something bad enough to actually piss Ori off]. The band is his family, too tho.

2 - Does your OC find it easy to make friends? Or are there barriers to them doing so? If so then are these due to issues of inclination, communication, or something else entirely?

Alana: Yes, but not really. They're friends but not friends you confide in friends. People she is friendly with -- because she is a very friendly person - that are more than just acquiantances, but they're not FRRIIIIIENDS. They are 'verb/noun' friends. Drinking buddies, friends to shop with, etc. There is a bit of a wall, a very thin wall but there is. I think a lot of the issues, outside of her being rather introverted, is the experience thing. A lot of the people she meets are nice, but they don't get it. And because they're not part of that life it can be harder to foster relationships.

BJ: Nope. I think it is a mix of personality, time, and a lack of desire to do so.

Hiyam: Fun fact, I almost forgot her. Hiyam doesn't. I think if Hiyam put effort they could charm friends -- becase what is that but the platonic version of flirting? But I don't think, even if she liked them, she would prioritize those friendships -- which could lead to bad feelings. Whiiiiich, Hiyam probably wouldn't handle with delicacy. They do have sycophants and lackies though, that counts right?

Lala: I think they would if they made the effort. Outside of the group they have a lot of acquiantances and people who think Lala is cool, and that is fine Lala thinks they are cool back. But there is at times no desire to do more with that. Though sometimes, someone looks out and gets their time.

Ori: People don't take Ori seriously and tend to only value him as fun time guy. He has lots of buds, but only really the group as friends.

3 - What qualities does your OC most value in a friend? Loyalty? Shared sense of humour? Or something else?

Alana: Kindness, good humor. Respect -- especially of bounaries. A bit of mischeviousness. Good listener.

BJ: Quiet. wqerw Stability, understanding. Patience. Good rapport and level temperment. Caring. Trustworthy. Considerate.

Hiyam: Someone with more patience than Job. I actually had a good list but I forgot it. Ambition, loyalty. Confidence. Good listener. Forgiving. Honest. Trusting and trustworthy. Support. Someone non-irritating, lol

Lala: Humor, a sense of adventure. Posivity. Loyalty. Confidence. Open-minded.

Ori: Fun! Positive! Insightful/Astute. Patient. Forgiving.

4 - Is your OC able to build close friendships with people very different from themselves? Perhaps in terms of culture, age or personality?

Alana: I think it might take time. She doesn't have much experience with it.

BJ: Yes, actually!

Hiyam: Can get on with kids under 12 and elderly over 70. Different cultures -- most her age might find her too American.

Lala: Yep.

Ori: Old people love him! So mostly. As for people his age from different cultures, not always immediately but with time.

5 - What is their most fervent wish for their best friend(s)? How far would they go to make it happen?

Alana: That she will forgive her. I don't know -- initially I would have said VERY far but the last update fucked her up. And as much as she wants Seven in her life, she believes Seven's words -- or at least that Seven believe's them [and that is what matters]. That know Alana was one of the worst things or wte, so -- IDK. She would rather die than hurt Seven further, so. She is stuck.

BJ: What best friend?

Hiyam: Rowan wants to win just like she does -- so that's gonna happen. And then some. There are no alternatives but success.

Lala: What best friend?

Ori: That they can be friends again, but more than that Seven is happy. Ori is currently twisting himself up to make Seven happy and now he's stuck with UW, so far enough.

Death and Living.

I haven't written anything here for quite a long time. I didn't even remeber what I have written last time.

Life is confusing and had so much up and downs.

i can't believe I am 35, living a quite hipster life with no children, no man and a single apartment with limited savings. 2023 was tough, and 2024 is even worse, I sort of giving up the idea of looking for a full time position but do some projects on my own. Now, I have a company.

I was lucky that I always have friends who can be there for me. I really appreciate Vincent's support during the worst moment of my life and I never expectd to have a friendship like that after my 30s.

I am not happy happy, but I enjoy my life most of time and I know I am quite lucky. I honestly have very limited time thinking about men or dating as I really enjoy being around just with friends. Dating for me is draining, especially after what happened with Rob last September, I realized that my old habits die hard, my obession with "broken men" won't disappear in one day. I know I don't want them near my life anymore and I still don't know how to connect with the normal ones ( are there any out there anyway? lol) I am really more peaceful and happy to be with myself, my friends, my cats and my family.

A recent incident dragged me into old memories, Tommy died in a motocycle accident and I was the first to know in our circle. I was in shock and I almost forgot who he is and what happened between us unitl this message. All the memories I had about him starting to flow around in my head recently as I am trying to see if I can find any trace that I can feel sad.

Honestly, I don't feel a thing, for a moment, I feel he deserved it. It's his karma. Then I critisized myself of being mean as we did have good moments but then the horrible memory came back, the night he dragged me into the backdoor of a stairway trying to prevent me from telling the other girl about the entanglement we were having, the horror I felt he might hurt me eventually. The anger, the monster I was turning into after being peaceful for many years startled me. I knew I deserve better than that.

I cut off this circle immediately, I also cut off my friendship with Will because I know these are no longer good to me anymore .

I didn't realize it could be that easy as I was also feeling head to toe for a while. He was my muse, and some of his quality reminded me of Min ( they actually are very different people ) really sparkled my creativity and I felt sad that day I saw his true color because I felt I might not be able to create more work. Funny the reality was I made more work during my healing period at Vincent's apartment, I no longer draw feelings about men, I got inspiration from everything, from nature, from the understanding of myself.

I think the message of Tommy's death is a sign the universe is sending me. I knew one more piece should be made to put an end to a story, a story about illusion and expectation, a story of me chasing some shadows from the only relationship I cared in my life, I call it the PTSD of a young love syndrome.

That night, I had a dream about Min, after all these years, it was so vivid as if the past years never happened, we were still in that apartment on 1500 Walnut street, cooking and talking, felt so familar, just like old friends. He said to me " I wrote a review of each letters you sent to me" and I laughed and said " It's so you and I know you are the only person I know would do that." I woke up, looked around and knew I am back to my reality, no Min, no Philly, no Tommy, just my 2 cats cuddling next to me purring.

Life is an illusion overall, I just jumped from one to another, the bounary between reality and fantasy is always so blurry. Reading Buddhist texts are the best practise I did this year to go through hard times, it makes me more calm and stable. I have been so obssesed with the idea of love, the wanting of acceptance that I have neglected in this process, I should also be cared for.

To Tommy: I will foget you again but I will not forgive you even you were dead, you don't deserve it and you still don't deserve it.

Vincent always says that I should stop my obsession with my ex and move on and he is a bit tired of hearing my story always circling back to the same guy. I freaked out a bit when last week he mentioned his college roomate was a Korean guy from Michigan. It took me a week to ask what his name was, and he laughed and said, "I don't think you would have dated my roomate, Carol. He was a very quiet guy and he is married and have 2 children now."

All of a sudden, I felt a bit embarrased. When most of your friends are settled and focus on raising their children and in your head you were still thinking about a past illusion, I feel I was not improved and upgraded to a better version, as if I was stuck in the save level of a game over and over again. His words reminded me I should not be dragged back to past just because I enjoy the comfort it provides. 不要贪恋过去，这样我会感知不到现在，也就无法创造未来。

I rethink the idea of love. I belived even we were apart, my love should not die and if it fades away, then it is not true love. Now I was wondering, I am just enjoy the idea of it too much and the "love" didn't grow at all it was packed in an old box, it's a vintage. Most connection flows and nothing really last forever, things only can last if we put constant effort into it.

i have maintained this light connection for years because I really dont want the forget that version of myself, however, he is no longer who he was , neither am I , so this love has changed over time by itself.

I really wish Min can be happy, I might be jealous that he is happier than me now, but eventually, I deeply wish the best for him as he deserves good and healthy connection just like what I deserve.

So it's time to stay afar, wishing the best for him instead constantly remind him and myself of the past.

I don't know if I still "love" Min ( I want to love myself more first) , but I wish all the best because I really really really really care about you, and this won't die.

I really really really really really loved you with every breath I had and I tried to give you everyting I had to fullfill your void, and I would never do that for anyone else becasue it is not healthy. However, I can't deny it is romantic, innocent, and vivd that it is so beautiful. It is such a beautiful story.

So 2024, I will stop.

[katal0gue]

Love Island USA (the franchise in general) stay doing their black woman contestants dirty.

Makes no sense men ain't fawning over Destiny, Kay Kay, and Imani. NO SENSE!!!

Keenan in the only that likes black women but he's a WHORE. Jonah does like Imani but that's it.

There's a Nigerian man in Casa that Kay Kay should bring back but no she's doing delusional af and sticking to Keenan, even tho that man has disrespected her multiple times and violated a bounary she put in place.

You got Zay, who Destiny likes, but he follows Candace Owens, Trump, Trump Jr., Desantis, Ben Shapiro. RUN DESTINY!!!!

And Imani is telling men it's ok to kiss her. Ma'am it needs to be the opposite. Don't tell a man that. Hell no.

[intosnarkness]

since the post about non-confrontational boundaries that I contributed to keeps showing up in my notes, here is an example of something that happened yesterday, so you can see what it looks like if you need to:

so one of my besties has started doing this thing when we hang out where she randomly invites other people or decides we're going to hang out at someone's house and she doesn't tell me.

so when i got home from seeing her yesterday and there was drama about if her mom and sister were going to come over or not, i thought about it and sent the following message:

One small request though, just cause it’s happened the last few times we hung out: can you give me a heads up if there’s a chance people other than like, you, [husband] and [otherfriend] will be there, or we’ll end up at someone else’s place? I’m cool with it, I just sometimes need to get my head right for new people, and warning would help.

so, a few things to note if you're new at this:

"one small request" - I framed this as a favor she could do for me, to make it a friendly thing

"cause it’s happened the last few times we hung out" - pointing out a pattern of behavior so she can see it's not a one time thing

" I’m cool with it, I just sometimes need to get my head right for new people, and warning would help." - an explanation of exactly what I need. We don't have to stop chilling with other people, I just need a heads up so I can mentally prepare.

Her reply:

Yes definitely! I’m sorry! ... I understand though, I can be better I’m just flaky rn and struggling to manage times and dates in my head. It’s no excuse but yeah brain/memory’s is not optimal. I will definitely try to communicate better though! I am sorry completely understand how that could be a little anxiety inducing.

i cut some explanation about why certain things happened, but this is how healthy people deal with conflicts and issues. She apologized, let me know what was going on with her, and validated my feelings.

We talked a little more about what I could do to help, and what her underlying issues were, but at no point did either of us take it personally or take offense. it was a communication of need and solution.

and her final message was:

Thank you btw for being honest and saying when something bugged you. I am glad you said something. I honestly didn’t see it cause I’m foggy 😶‍🌫️ but now that I do I’m like oh fuck that’s annoying…that would bug me too. No bueno. Time to fix that one. Good friends make you see stuff you yourself couldn’t which in turn allows you to fix those things and be a better person 📷 #goals

and that's what it looks like to set friendly boundaries.
