🌟A VIRGOS INTUITION🌟

Virgos process info through their body. Some things/people they will feel pulled towards and very talkative around and other they will pull away from and speak only when needed. Their intuition is top tier. They can come off as cold because the way they cut things/people out of their life but literally it will affect their health if they do not listen to these feelings.

A virgos goal is to not get lost in the details too much and learn to embody their opposite Pisces and know when something is good as it is.

A Virgo that can integrate certain piscean traits can come off as carefree actually 😂. Because they possess trust for themselves and the process.

Everybody processes information differently. Those who do not process information the way you do will not understand why you’re doing what you’re doing

A virgos intuition is sharp as a knife. 🔪

YOU ARE HERE TO UNDERSTAND YOURSELF, NOT TO BE UNDERSTOOD

so what that I have pain in my chest? I've the warmth of tea in my hands and the window wide open to stare at, and a moon which gives me company. I will be fine.

Sirens

The Sirens are a species that originate from the Oceans of Time, but can be found on all planes. In fact, they are the only sentient species from the Oceans. They are not the fairytale creatures who lure ships to crash against the rocky shores, but the opposite. They are a kind people who are close to nature and have the ability to listen to the spirit of water, and can therefore always travel safely through it. And because of this ability they are the most famous and sought-after of the captains that journey between the planes.

The Sirens are one of the species that can cloak their original fish-like appearances, including part of their surroundings, to put others at ease. They're a dual-gendered species that can only reproduce with its own kind. Because of their wide variety of appearances they constantly create new ones when giving birth. Any Siren can be the birth parent of a child as their genders allows them to choose which part to take in a relationship. Polyamorous relationships among Sirens are commonplace, and families are often large and have several parents with all their children living together. Since the average lifespan of a Siren reaches around five hundred years, a single family can reach similar numbers. Romantic relationships with family members are neither frowned upon nor uncommon.

Sirens are vulnerable to all kinds of lethal harm, except drowning. They have the ability to adapt to a life underwater if necessary, by growing gills once their lungs have collapsed from the intake of water. The Siren may recover the use of their lungs if they are able to empty them of water before they choke on the air that their gills cannot breathe. This, however, is a rare occurrence. But should it succeed they can then live on both land and in the sea, but will have to keep their gills covered at all times out of the water.

I found these throwback photos buried in my email inbox from a 2016 show at Tim’s Tavern in Seattle! I was so small and Jey was still in the band lol This was the show where Elysian had done a tap takeover at Tim’s so we were drunk on watermelon sours. Look at the silly way I hold a mic!

So I’ve been thinking about cultural Christianity lately and how people tend to get very upset about it without really understanding what it is, so here is a primer

Cultural Christianity is not a choice you make. It does not mean you are Christian, or even that you remotely like Christianity; a lot of people who vehemently hate the religion do so because of their own cultural Christianity

It is not a shortcoming, or a moral failing, or a sin. It just means that the culture you were raised in was predominantly Christian.

Note: I did not say “majority Christian”. Christians don’t need to be a majority to have a dominant cultural influence

Cultural Christianity means you inherently understand and probably use swearwords like “damn”, “hell”, or a variation on the name “Jesus Christ”

It means when I say cultural Christianity is not a sin, you understand exactly what I mean without needing to have it explained - and you probably know the phrase “original sin” or “seven deadly sins”, even if not in full detail

It means hearing about Hades, god of the dead, wealth, and volcanoes, and assuming he’s the bad guy of Greek mythology… y’know, like Satan

(EVERYONE went to Hades when they died. The Elysian Fields, where the best heroes went, was in Hades’ underworld. The Eleusinian mysteries, a cult to Demeter and Persephone, was basically about asking them to tell Hades to give you a cool afterlife

And he would cuz he drank his “respect wife” juice if not all of his “respect women” juice. Did still kidnap her. But she is a major feature and often makes the decision herself or influences his when they’re mentioned together

Meanwhile, people try and cast Zeus as a good parent)

It means having to have a dreidel, a menorah, or a kinara explained to you at a time when you already knew about Christmas trees and Santa

(Yes, Santa Claus, Saint Nicholas, major host of the Mass of Christ, is culturally Christian. Even though Coke invented his aesthetic - that’s the “cultural” part)

It’s when you go to make up a new non-religious or pan religious winter celebration… that is centred around a day with family and gifts which is obviously the 25 of December. Maybe counting down 12 days before

It’s defaulting to calling a place of worship you don’t know the name of a “church”

Cultural Christianity is not something people have a choice in; you don’t pick where you’re born, and there are so many other cultures in places like Canada, America, and Britain that are culturally Christian out the ass! But… you will catch Contact Christianity in any of these places

It’s damn near impossible to consume any American or most Western media without brushing across it; cross imagery is everywhere, Christian demons and devils sneak into media all around the world

Western (and some other) Gothic fashion leans heavily on gothic architecture and, yeah, heavily Catholic imagery

Now, brushing across the media in other parts of the world does not impart the same level of cultural Christianity as growing up in a city with four churches on a single block and a Santa Claus parade

And you can grow up heavily in an entirely different culture even in the Bible Belt (but you know what Bible Belt means); you don’t have to abandon all other culture just because Christianity has a chokehold on your home

But when December (or fucking November these days) hits and you hear Mariah Carey in 3/6 stores, yes, you probably have some cultural Christianity

You sure as hell don’t need to be able to name half the denominations (can you name more than 4?), you may never set foot in a Christian church in your life, and still have a cultural Christian influence

If your street names have “saint” in them

If there are crosses or angels on more than half the graves in a cemetery

If you know how to cross yourself but aren’t really sure when you learned; you didn’t look it up or do research to find out

Now note: none of these have an inherent moral judgement attached to them

It’s just about what the culture you live in has taught you about the world, and there’s no culture that is magically the Right One or better than the others

There’s no reason to expect even specifically Christian culture to be the same around the world; it isn’t. It has the same root, but what flowers from the soil is another matter entirely

There is nothing wrong with acknowledging that you have culturally Christian influences and biases; being human is 90% absorbing information from the world around us and half processing it at best - there’s just too much input, and intentionally filtering out Everything Christian Ever?

Well unless you started at 2 years old, odds are pretty good it’s not really a personal choice kinda thing

And you cannot compensate for these influences unless you acknowledge that they exist, that you did not choose to form them, and that you do get to choose how they affect your actions going forward

Christmas stuffed a bunch of other religious traditions into a single package to make itself popular, but if you learned them as Christmas traditions first… do I even need to say it?
