🍇💘 happy rural dionysia! 💘🍇

This is my altar for today! Theres a candle for Dionysus in the middle (back), bracelet I made for him on the left, fluorite hearts carving on the right, and a peen shaped cookie in the middle (front)

As for dionysia activities, today I’ve prayed to him and accidentally fell asleep, made sugar cookies (with vanilla frosting & sprinkles), read hymns, prayed again, and now I’m probably gonna play some video games and maybe later watch a movie :3

Manifestation: The Scripting Method

Scripting is the art of reimagining your life in an intentional way, in the form of a written story. This method harnesses the power of the Law of Attraction by guiding you to write what you wish to manifest as if you’re reflecting or reminiscing on what already is. This is literally you writing the next chapter of your life. Scripting can shift your reality as you begin to believe what you are creating through writing.

This is a powerful method of manifesting because it allows for freedom, creativity, and play. It gives your imagination space to expand upon your desires and access your emotions and multiple areas of thought. It isn’t limited to just one area of your life. Here’s how to do it:

Have an idea of what is it you want your future to look like. This method does not require you to be concise.

From the perspective of your future self, write in the present tense using positive words. Even though you’re writing what your future will look like, write as if it is already your reality.

Be detailed. The details connect you with what you want and invoke emotions that align with your desire. How does it look, feel, smell, sound, taste? Who else is present? Where are you? What are you doing? What are you surrounded by?

Include your feelings in you script. Describe how you feel having these things and being this future version of yourself. Express yourself and your emotions fully, including your gratitude for what you have created.

Believe it. To create this future version of yourself, you must believe in it. Believe you are capable of having it.

Set aside fifteen to twenty minutes daily to do this. You don’t have to write the whole time. Take some time to visualize what your future self is like. Use some of this time to conjure up the emotions of what it feels like to be this fabulous future version of you. You can script for the week ahead, six months ahead, or even ten years down the line. The version of your future self is completely up to you!

There’s no structured time requirement for how many days you should script. Follow your intuition on this one. Keep going, keep writing, and keep creating. Remember to let go of any attachment to an outcome. When we are attached to an outcome, we become hyper-focused and fixated on something happening. In that fixation, we lose joy. We allow the attachment to drain our faith in our own ability to make something happen. When we are attached, we are shackled and often trying to force an outcome to happen in a certain way. Being attached to an outcome comes from a place of lack, desperation, and need. This is not where you want your energy to go when manifesting.

Jay used to wear a pentacle?

ya, not sure if it was just for fashion purposes but........even fashion wise.......that's so hot of him.

i mean the pentacle is associated with two things when it comes to people who know and people who don't know.

people who don't know will probably assume it's a symbol of devil worship or perhaps he's just wearing it to be edgy.

people who know are very aware that the pentacle is a symbol and/or talisman of protection lmfao.

i'm very endeared by it, mostly bc the possibility of an idol that i already love may very well have the same insight i feed into when it comes to the world, life, and the universe around us.

no one can take pentacle jay from me >:(

I recently realized a lot of my writings with my divine feminine visions are very seasonal. Many goddesses are seasonal, and even if not they have their own holy days marking seasons afterall. Makes me think of Kali in particular whose name comes from the Sanskrit root word “kal” which means time 🌞  काल  🌚 along with denotations of death, as integral to the nature of time.

It is unpopularly theorized that the word “calendar” itself has its etymological root in Kali reverence by the Romani people who were found throughout the ancient Roman empire. The word for calendar shares the root sound “kal” throughout over a dozen European languages until this day. According to formal acedemically recognized etymology “calendar” comes from Old French calendier, from Latin calendarium (account book), from kalendae (the first day of the month), from calo (to announce solemnly, to call out (the sighting of the new moon). 🌚 Those who know of the ancient tradition of monthly Romani rituals which called aloud to Kali every new moon (associated with Her blood flow) theorize along with these definitions that Kali is where we get “calendar” in a kind of ancient cultural appropriation.

All European language etymology studies tend to lead back to Latin even in instances professed to be only a vague theory, further obscuring from history countless native languages of the “barbarians” conquered by ancient Roman colonization. The history of how subsequent European cultures since Romanization have oppressed Romani peoples as “Gypsies” up to today is inherited from Roman culture. Why wouldn’t these systems actively repress the truth of any such influences? So with that in mind I think why not Kalinder? 

PS! ”rom” is a Romani word for “man” and so the similarities of Roman and Romani are not etymologically linked as some have assumed, mistakenly believing that Romani means “from Rome” in the way that the derogatory term Gypsy meant “from Egypt”. The Romani have their roots in India.

Hi Freya,

I would like to ask for:

A New Years letter from my idol to me

With Jay Enhypen or/and Ten Wayv

Initials S.R. Sun sign leo

I spend Christmas at my parents house with 3 of nephews running over us constantly 🤣Thank you 😊 🙏

Hello! I'll do both <33 It's no problem! A New Years Letter from Jay (Enhypen) to you - *Ace of Swords Reversed* "Hi... I don't have much to say, if I'll be honest. My 2023 felt really confusing, there was way too much going on and it was so chaotic, the amount of practice I did was gruelling and brutal but so worth it. All I have to say, advice wise for the rest of your 2024, is; You have a lot of goals, plans, etc, you wish to accomplish. However, you're missing information that can help you make your decision. When you do decide, be sure to use whatever power your hold for good instead of taking advantage of it. Stay warm and try to relax and de-stress. - Jay." A New Years Letter from Ten (WayV) to you - *5 of Pentacles* "Hello, S.R! I hope you're doing well, I've been asked to recall my 2023 so, here it is! I felt very desperate during 2023, I felt very insecure financially and about myself. I didn't acknowledge that all I needed was a hand to reach out, I (thankfully) chose to acknowledge the person who stretched out their hand to me and help me. I appreciate them so much for that! I had a lot of conflict and change to deal with... I am still dealing with it. However, I hope it will all settle soon. My advice for you for 2024 is; If you're struggling financially or are feeling insecure about yourself, just remember that there are so many options for help out there! You are not alone! So many people DO care about you, they DO love you, even if you don't realise it! I hope things improve for you, hang in there. You got this! From, - Ten <3"

I wanted to get a little present for Dionysus for rural dionysia/christmas, so I got this! It’s fabric (cotton) with a lovely design of Dionysus embroidered on it with velcro so you can fasten it around one of those prayer candles you can find at dollar stores. I absolutely love candles, I burn them for my deities all the time, especially Dionysus, and I thought this was such a cool and unique idea. Plus, I love supporting small businesses making cool handmade pagan stuff :3

[ahalliance]

every time i stumble onto a cool channel about folklore and other mythological topics i need to check whether op is a right-leaning conspiracy theorist, and unfortunately i’ve been disappointed yet again

[i-eat-cars-and-berriesss]

Happy Navratri to all who are celebrating alongside me!

[simpjaes]

Alright, to start off, I'll ask if he's in a relationship currently : **The Star** - A VERY strong YES! He is in a relationship where he feels absolutely rejuvenated and hopeful for the relationship to work out as best as it can. Is he dating an idol? **Knight of Pentacles** - Yes, he is! They're a very hardworking idol with an organised schedule/routine, it's something that he loves, loves, loves, about them. Is this idol/his current partner his future spouse? **King of Swords** - Yes, this person is very intellectual and has a lot of power, they know the truth about the idol industry and could leak a lot of things if they wanted to. A dangerous but amazing person in this industry. He seems to be thinking of proposing to her soon (intuition) That's all for this reading, if you'd like me to elaborate more, I will. Just send another ask or a message, thank you for joining me, dear soul. Bare in mind, these tarot readings are done for light hearted and entertainment purposes do not take it 100% seriously as things are always subject to change in life <3

The Evil Little Hairy Cave People of Europe in Pulp Fiction

From the 1900s to the 1940s, there was a trendy theme in occult and horror stories that the explanation for widespread European legends of fairies, brownies, pixies, leprechauns and other malicious little people, was that they were a hereditary racial memory of the extremely small non-human, hairy stone age original inhabitants of Europe, who still survive well into modern times in caves and barrows below the earth. Envious of being displaced on the surface, these weird creatures, adapted to the darkness of living underground and unable to withstand the sun, still mean mischief and occasionally go out at night to capture someone.... usually an attractive woman....to take to their dark caves for human sacrifice.

Displaced by the arrival of Indo-European language speakers at the dawn of the Bronze Age, these original, not quite human stone age people of Europe were driven deep underground into caves and barrows below the earth, where they went mad, adapted to the darkness and acquired a fear of daylight, became extremely inbred, in some cases acquired widespread albinism. It is these strange little people who gave the descendants of Europeans a haunting racial dread of places below the earth like mines and caves, and it also is these strange, hairy troglodytes who originally built the uncanny and mysterious menhir, fairy rings, and stone age structures of England, Scotland, and Ireland that predate the coming of the Celts and Romans.

In some cases, these evil troglodytes are usually identified with the mysterious Picts, the pre-Celtic stone age inhabitants of the British Isles. In some cases, they are identified with the Basque people of Spain, best known as the inventors of Jai Alai, and the oldest people in Europe who speak a unique language unrelated to any in the world.

The original codifier of this trend was Arthur Machen, a horror writer who is less remembered than his contemporary, Henry James, but who may be the best horror writer in the generations between Poe on the one end and Lovecraft/CL Moore/Clark Ashton Smith on the other. His story, "the White People" from 1904 (a reference to their strange cave albinism) was a twisted Alice in Wonderland with a girl who is irresistibly attracted to dark pre-Roman stone age ruins and who is eventually pulled underground.

In addition to being a great horror writer, Arthur Machen was a member of the Hermetic Society of the Golden Dawn, an occult organization, and was often seen at the Isis-Urania Temple in London. Many of his works have secretive occult knowledge.

H.P. Lovecraft in particular always pointed out Arthur Machen as his single biggest inspiration, though he combined Machen's dread and occultism with Abraham Merritt's sense of fear of the cosmic unknown, seen in "Dwellers in the Mirage" and "People of the Pit."

Another and scarier example of this trend would be "No Man's Land," a story by John Buchan, a Scotsman fascinated by paganism and horror, who often wrote stories of horrific discoveries and evil rites on the Scottish moors. He is often reduced to being described as a "Scottish Ghost Story" writer, a painfully reductivist description as in his career, Buchan wrote a lot of thrillers, detective, and adventure stories as well. In later life, he was appointed Governor General of Canada, meaning he may be the first head of state to be a horror writer.

It was Buchan who first identified the cave creatures with the Picts, something that another Weird Tales writer decades later, Robert E. Howard, would roll with in the 1920s.

Howard is a very identifiable kind of modern person you often see on the internet: a guy who talks tough, but who was terrified to leave his small town. He created manly man, tough guy heroes like Conan the Barbarian, Kull, and El Borak, but he himself never left his mother's house. It's no wonder he got along well with his fellow Weird Tales writer and weird shut in, HP Lovecraft. With 1920s Weird Tales writers, despite your admiration for their incredible talent, you also can't help but laugh at them a little, a feeling you also apply to a lot of Victorians, who achieved incredible things, but who are often closet cases and cranks who died virgins ("Chinese" Gordon comes to mind, as does Immelmann).

With Howard, his obsession with the Picts and the stone age cave dwelling people of Europe started with an unpublished manuscript where at a dinner party, a man gets knocked out and regresses to his past life in the Bronze Age, where he remembers the earliest contact between modern humans and the original inhabitants of the British Isles, the evil darkskinned Picts. This is a mix of both the "little cave people" story and another cliche at the time, "the stone age past life regression novel," another turn of the century cliche.

Still with the Picts on his mind, Howard would later create Bran Mak Morn, a Pict chieftain, who predated Kull and Conan as his Celtic caveman muscle hero. Howard was of Irish descent and proudly anti-Colonial and anti-British, with his Roman Empire and Civilized Kingdoms as a stand in for the British and other Empires, which he viewed as rapacious and humbug, a view shared by his greatest inspiration, Talbot Mundy. His "Worms of the Earth" gets to the heart of why these little cave people scare us so much: they remind us that we live on land that is impossibly ancient and we don't fully understand at all.

It was another Weird Tales Writer a decade later who wrote one of the last stories about the little hairy cave people of Europe, though, Manly Wade Wellman in 1942. Wellman was mainly known for creating the blond beefcake caveman hero Hok the Mighty set in stone age times, and for his supernatural ghost stories of Silver John the Balladeer set in modern, ghostly Appalachia (like many ex-Weird Tales writers, he made a turn to being a regional author in his later career, in the same way Hugh B. Cave became a Caribbean writer), but Wellman also had a regular character known as John Thunstone, a muscular and wealthy playboy known for his moustache who used his great wealth to investigate the supernatural and the occult. Thunstone had a silver sword made by St. Dunstan, patron of Silversmiths, well known for his confrontations with the Devil.

Most John Thunstone stories featured familiar stories, like a demon possessed seance and so on, but one in particular featured a unique enemy, the Shonokins.

The Shonokins were the original rulers of North America, descendants of Neanderthal man displaced by American Indians. This fear that the land we live is ancient and unknowable and we just arrived on it and don't know any of its secrets is common to settler societies, who often hold the landscape with dread, as in Patricia Wrightson's fantasies of the Australian Outback. It was easy enough to transport the hairy cave people from the Scottish Moors to North America. I suspect that's what they are, a personification of a fear shared in the middle class, that in the back of their minds, that everything they have supposedly earned is merely an accident of history, built by rapacity and the crimes of history, and that someday a bill will come due.

A text page in the May 1942 issue of Weird Tales gives strange additional information on the Shonokins not found elsewhere:

Since then, there have been too many examples of evil cave people who predate Europeans. Philip Jose Farmer's "The All White Elf" features the last survivor of a pre-European people who live in caves. A lot of other fiction of course has featured the Picts, but according to our modern scientific understanding, which describes them as much, much less exotically, as a blue tattooed people not too different and practically indistinguishable from the Celtic tribes that surrounded them, and which they eventually blended into.
