#dont be a culture vulture

[transqueerwitchking]

Also, if it ain't Your Folk, it ain't Your Magic. Keep your greedy white hands to yourself, Witch.

I say this as a white American.

Doesn't matter how cool you think some other culture's practice is. It will never be yours, you have no right to it. Look to your own roots, don't dig in your neighbors garden.

Something I feel like people getting into folk magic need to understand, for many people of many backgrounds, is folk magic started as a means of survival. It was struggle magic, and it is still struggle magic.

Where I'm living now and where I'm from, people planted by the signs to ensure their crops wouldn't go bad before harvesting. People used ocean water to soothe joint and muscle pains when they got old. People studied the native plants for medicine and were mindful to only take what was needed. People did little rituals and minded their grannies' words to keep their good luck. If they didn't know how to do something (or couldn't), they went to people who did.

Learning folk magic to reconnect with ancestral traditions from before your time is valid. Learning folk magic to connect with and work with the land is valid. There are many valid reasons to take up folk magic. Still, understand that folk magic is survival, and folk magic is community.

My take on the new pyro archon Mavuika:

-zipped her suit up. I was serviced and all but I think the skin tight body suit is more than enough…

-Ive seem people compare her to kaveh, so i changed her hairstyle to look more wavy and tastefully messy while looking clean

-A more appropriate skin tone.

-Thicker eyebrows 🫶🫶

-Darker eyes to make the yellow POP

-Smaller earings. I felt the bigger ones just make the hair less extravagant.

Id LOVE to see some more appropriate clothing on her as many people are disappointed with it. The only things I applaud is the sun symbols. Genshin can do better.

Would love to tell this job to go fuck itself in favour of being a park ranger but unfortunately every national park that has given me an offer is somewhere where the cost of living is so egregious that the salary doesn't even begin to cover it. Maybe I should try for park warden instead

[k9catastrophe]

DROOLING over the idea of going out and bone hunting right now. How i hate living in a neighborhoodlike this . not a carcass in sight . the only bones here are in your body. i miss you random bones.
