misfits & magic ii stat tracking: episode 8

the spreadsheet, for all to see

running a little late this week, so sorry for the delay.

a great week for those of us who love lore. we're right at the precipice of the well and there's been lots of revelations today.

also some of the most insane rolling i've ever seen in the dome. lou has the record for highest roll now, with a flat 100, iirc. a 100, with several d20, and magic exploding from a d8 to a d12 in the middle of that.

as always, the tag is #mismag ii stat tracking if you want to follow along.

mechanical/lore notes:

the tadeshacourt was bound into culling the population of wizards by the founder of hercinil, pepin danaerys hercinnae kyle bombini, a.k.a. the great wizard bombini, the final founder of gowpenny

each island funnels to the well and brings those symbols that represent the magicks that accumulate in each space. the creatures of the islands can grant great boons i.e. the tome of nimble workings, the temporary shadows

those who deeply connect with the creatures/islands may become vessels of their deep, ancient magicks. this can manifest in different ways: k entered the well and stored the magic within themself (mettle), evan performed a ritual sacrifice of philtrum's corpse and his terracotta body (magnetism), jammer summoned forth the magic of galamanis into the core of himself and achieved new form (matter)

the tome of nimble workings is older than the orrery--the orrery is broken in a way that must be fixed for magic to exist in its full capacity

the fundamentals of magic as we know so far: intention, material, channeling, somatic/movement

the types of magic^: creation, transmutation, amplification, depletion, captivation, divination.

island/creature tracking:

galamanis, the blind hellbender of creation. feeds into the chaos. things can be drawn from the ether, and that which is brought forth may be shaped by channeling through the self or through the material that has been created.

qohlye, the winged goat of divination. truth and all that it means, opening the eyes of the viewer to the world in all of its potential. but the things that exist there do not always want to leave.

seegenpelater, the double headed camel of captivation. can convince the mind of anything and the body with it. but the doing of magic takes a great price, of destruction and violence, and the island will gild the edges so it does not feel as though the world has changed.

weugan, the inverted wolf of amplification. symbols that speak to the increase of extant energy, matter and system. the condensed amplification of magic bleeding across deadened ground.

tadershecourt, the skull antlered bear of defense and depletion, who warns of the necessary fear of the capabilities of magic and draws away from that which exists. protection of the self and others, of mind and body and soul. the full aspect of which the tadeshacourt is a part.

miskoro, the fish-tailed bat of transmutation. taking energy or matter and maintaining the amount and intensity, but changing its identity.

and the as of yet unnamed void serpent who surrounds these pillars of magic in the storm.

^i swapped enchantment for captivation and knowledge for divination because i wanted all -tion words. cohesive rhyme scheme, people.

You are a ten thousand year old tragic romantic, bound to be perpetually forgotten. You dress exclusively in sweats and a baggy hoodie, and there's crumbs in your mustache from the scones you munch on during the workday in your bakery.

You've never wished for more.

You're not lonely. Really, you’re not. You’re used to this life, living as a fever dream.

You're elbows deep in dirty dishwater, working alongside your baristas, a vegan vampire and nonbinary treant, when a man walks in.

You don't have to turn around to know it's him, because he smells of magick and herbs and home. You'd know him anywhere, even after all this time.

But he doesn't know you. Not this go around.

He orders a box full of pastries and nearly a dozen drinks, and there's a beautiful man at his side. You keep your hood up, listening to him talk. Memorizing the sound.

When the man he's with laughs, you eat half a scone in one go to keep from speaking up.

But then you're called upon by the vampire, forced to meet the witch's eye as she makes introductions. You chew on the scone, swallowing down thick pastry and the words, 'I'd know him anywhere.'

But you're a stranger to him, so you introduce yourself.

Again.

And his soulmark alights his face, a burning reminder of everything you cannot have.

[an-aura-about-you]

let's see about finishing up that chapter of Handbook for Mortals I was on, shall we?

Chapter 18 part 2:

when we last left our hero, Scheherazade was still dying, but now Mac thinks that's his fault when it absolutely wasn't.

-Mac was upset that Zade would do this without telling him, but Dela tells him that she did it with Charles for years without him knowing. jesus christ, what a violation.

-but Dela also mentions that Charles was in the show and thus couldn't have left, so once again Zade is the one who made the bad choices here.

-in spite of this not being Mac's fault, he is the one responsible for fixing this according to Dela. she said he "caused" the energy surge, but that's not right because ZADE caused the energy surge, she just did so without knowing she had no way to ground it! again, it's Zade's fault!!!

-"Normally I would sugarcoat this, but we don't really have that kind of time." 24 Hours Have Passed. You Have Had Plenty Of Time To Sugarcoat.

-"I'm just going to get down and dirty and to the point."

...

I do not care how much of a MILF the book is trying to make you out to be, Dela. That line just killed it. Never say that again ever.

-for this ritual, Dela has to forge something that "looks like a dagger--thought it won't actually be a dagger at all." and she says it's not worth explaining what it actually is besides magic.

you mean an athame? you know, tool used to sever metaphysical energy typically represented physically by a blunt dagger? you're fine talking about tarot cards and altars but calling an athame an athame is where you stumble? I would certainly think anyone who spells magic with a k would know what an athame is. hell, I have an athame!

if you wanna dumb it down for Mac, you can call it an athame and then explain that it is a type of magic dagger. it would be a shorter explanation and get you to the point with Mac much quicker. you know, the thing you said you were going to do in this same paragraph.

-the gameplan is for Mac to stab Zade in the chest with the athame at precisely 3am. ok, cool, cool. why? why that specific time? why are we not getting any information about why we have to wait? I know timing and moon phases are important for spells, but an emergency is an emergency. and we haven't been given any information along the lines of, "if we don't do it at precisely this time and no other then Zade will definitely die for real." seriously, what is keeping us from doing it now?

-Dela just compared the athame to an EpiPen. and I'll actually admit, in the context of the book, this metaphor does at least partly work. it's not going to fix Zade completely, but it is going to make it so that Della can heal her. but the part where it doesn't work is an EpiPen is used to buy time and should be administered IMMEDIATELY.

-also, apparently, this entire procedure will be nearly impossible if Mac doesn't go along with it.

actually, now's a good time to hit you guys with the summary from the inside of the dust jacket:

Zade Holder has always been a free-spirited young woman, from a long dynasty of tarot-card readers, fortunetellers, and practitioners of magick. Growing up in a small town and never quite fitting in, Zade is determined to forge her own path. She leaves her home in Tennessee to break free from her overprotective mother Dela, the local resident spellcaster and fortuneteller. Zade travels to Las Vegas and uses supernatural powers to become part of a premiere magic show led by the infamous magician Charles Spellman. Zade fits right in with his troupe of artists and misfits. After all, when everyone is slightly eccentric, appearing "normal" is much less important. Behind the scenes of this multimillion-dollar production, Zade finds herself caught in a love triangle with Mac, the show's good-looking but rough-around-the-edges technical director and Jackson, the tall, dark, handsome and charming bandleader. Zade's secrets and the struggle to choose between Mac or Jackson creates reckless tension during the grand finale of the show. Using Chaos magick, which is known for being unpredictable, she tests her abilities as a spellcaster farther than she's ever tried and finds herself at death's door. Her fate is left in the hands of a mortal who does not believe in a world of real magick, a fortuneteller who knew one day Zade would put herself in danger and a dagger with mystical powers...

so idk why I even bothered with the recaps when Sarem is eager to tell you the entire story right there. there's nothing to work for in reading this. it's just handed to you like Zade's job at the show.

also, if I'm sharing what's on the dust jacket, I can't forget this part:

Handbook for Mortals is the first book in the series of this urban fantasy, paranormal romance series by author Lani Sarem. Following Zade through the trials--and romance--of finding her own place in the world, readers will identify with their own struggles to fit in, reflected in the fantastic, yet mundane world of Zade's life. Handbook for Mortals is in development as a motion picture set to debut in 2018.

also holy shit they wanted $25 for this? yeah, glad I only paid $2.

-ok either more time has passed when I wasn't looking or we're dealing with another classic Sarem continuity error because the narration has just told us 48 hours have passed???? when the fuck did that happen?

-I'm actually getting really pissed at the time thing because Sarem COULD have used the tarot cards to structure the book. I've actually written two fics where I did something similar, one of them being a fic for The Magnus Archives and one of them being a TMA/Chzo Mythos crossover.

for one of my fics, I used the 14 Fears in The Magnus Archives as a way to structure the actual fic and give it a sort of order based on what would make sense to follow one after the other.

for the crossover one, I used both the concept of the Blessed Agonies in the Chzo Mythos as well as an actual calendar since I was setting it during a specific year with a specific start date in mind. from there, I basically scheduled the fic and even reflected this by posting relevant chapters on the matching dates. and having that schedule helped a lot with my planning because I did research I needed like how long it would take to recover from certain injuries in the hospital.

and the Major Arcana of the tarot makes this even easier because it comes with a story structure built in. with just a little more thinking and effort, Sarem could have fit her story into that structure.

but considering her main character ignored a trump card in a spread, it's clear that she doesn't actually think much of it.

-in any case, Mac agrees to do the stabbing.

Mac the Knife?

-Mac is still blaming himself for the thing that wasn't his fault. like, ok, a little bit of that is usually normal, feeling guilty and getting hung up on could-have should-have is totally a thing. but the narration is making it clear that he's the reason Zade is dying, and that is a big ol' plate of bullshit and chips.

-ok we're getting more of the drama of Zade's parents and Charles has told Mac that he didn't leave Dela, Dela left him and took Zade with her. and the start of that is a doozy:

"I lost it when she told me what she was. It was right after we had Zade. I thought maybe she had made me love her... "Because I wasn't sure if I could believe her, I cheated on Dela to see if I could. When I was able to cheat, I realized that if she had put a spell on me she wouldn't have 'let' me be able to do that."

ohhhhhhhhhhh my god. okay. wow.

on the one hand, Yikes. did you HAVE to go all the way, Charles?

but on the other, god, can you imagine how terrifying that must be to worry that your free will has been compromised, especially with how much Dela and Zade have been talking about destiny in this book?

some part of me actually doesn't entirely blame Charles for full on cheating? don't get me wrong, it's a scummy thing to do and evidence that they didn't trust each other. but a paranoid part of me is putting myself in Charles's shoes and wondering, "am I able to flirt with a stranger because I'm freely able to be with them or is this just something allowed by the limits of the spell my spouse has on me?" especially now that we, the readers, know that Dela has used magic on Charles for YEARS without his knowledge.

-but that was only the start of it. the kicker was Charles started drinking and using and got to a point where he talked about putting Zade in the show. Dela consulted the cards and it looked like either they would be happy together or he would go back to his old ways. so she left him a letter and took Zade with her.

THIS is when we learn she put a spell on Charles to not talk about Zade BUT it's actually worse than that. he's not able to admit to a connection to EITHER of them. so I've got two things about that:

holy shit, so that means it was basically impossible for him to have any sort of contact with Zade unless Dela allowed it. if he can't admit to a connection to her, he can't get legal help to establish parental rights.

Why Was Charles Able To Tell The Doctor He Was Zade's Father In The Previous Chapter? How Was He Able To Do That? Did Dela Only Break That Spell Because Zade Was Dying?

and that's how the chapter ends with Charles wrapping up that story saying that maybe it was a way for Dela to not deal with the past. you'd think a professional fortuneteller would know that shit always comes back to you.

fuck it let's have another poll

[aishta-of-the-realms]

"Until recently, all magicks were viewed and classified as “divine” in nature; mysteries known only to those with the ability, power, and inclination to study them. Since the creation of the arcane battery by Sir Gundren Mistbeard and (controversially) Tobias Cephus in 1261 3A, though, we now understand this to be somewhat incorrect. With its development having infinitely deepened our understanding of how arcana behaves, is channeled, and re-collects itself, there has been a push in some academic circles to re-classify arcana as an “element”. This movement has been met with resistance from both religious establishments and several druidic circles, under Religious and Sanctity grounds, due to its potentially harmful “clinical and reductive” interpretation of the divine."

The Queen of Life & The Beginnings of the Twilight Court

 The Twilight Court is ancient and one of the original Courts. It is so old that almost all have forgotten about it in all the realms. The twilight court is mostly relevant to the Fae but the Queen of the Twilight court is not just Fae. She is the Queen of Life as well and Consort to Death. It's hard to put these things into words especially when much of what I know is bits and pieces of a story. It's not a complete story or I would be publishing this in some other way. No this is more like scraps of a story lost through the centuries or just floating around the mind of one potentially delusional mage. ;) You never know after all. Aren't all writers a little nuts? You almost have to be to write and live with your characters the way we do. 

Anyway, the Queen of the Twilight Court was born at the very beginning long before recorded history and long before even the events of the bible took place. She was the youngest of the Old Powers, her first form came out of the waters and flames. Her Mother was the divine Goddess Danu (Earth\Water Mother Goddess known these days mostly to followers of the Celtic Paths) and who knows who her fathers or father were/was. That she even had half a clue who her mother was came much later since she was raised by the males and the beginnings were lost to her. The first few of her lives are shrouded in the veils of the ancient times. Life's first Incarnation was a dryad bound to one of the ancient Mother Trees. This dryad grew to become many other things from the Queen of Life and Death to a young goddess of the hunt and to have many names and incarnations through the ages. Some of them are remembered today but most are lesser beings that no one except her family knows. And even their memories seem to be clouded behind a veil.

The Twilight Court itself is considered to be the Court that the Queen has ruled from the beginning since a court has formed around her from the ancient times. I believe this is only natural considering that she is both darkness and light and a strong Power. Life was in the beginning a divine Power and equal only to Death although slightly superior to her Consort. Eventually Life took a new form and became less thus becoming Inanna, the sister of Lilith and daughter of the divine Lords of the Annukai. During this time she raised her sister's son who destroyed the first Death who was going to betray her. The Hound enters the scene. The Hound is loyal and dangerous, one of the great monsters of Realms. A destroyer who was an experiment. The young Inanna eventually entered the Underworld and died there, growing from that experience and being reborn. 

Ugh, I lost the thread of the magick and the story so I guess that's all for today. I can tell you all that the Twilight Court as it is today was originally one of the small free courts of the Fae. It is made up of misfits and those who don't belong with any of the major courts. The current incarnation of the Queen is a reincarnation of Oberon's beloved daughter Ashe and she is a mixed blood Fae witch with traces of Siren or Merfolk, vampire, kitsune, high Sidhe, winged fae, and potentially some sort of house fae that cares for hearth and family.

Okay so ironically enough I was scrolling your blog to catch up on a couple of your Nightcrawler fics I was behind on and seeing this finally made me finish my X-Men oc’s ref sheet.

Allegra is 29 and hails from Venice, Italy. Her mother died in childbirth and she was thrust upon her father Matteo, a well known crime mogul, as an infant.

From birth her mutation made her skin so pale it’s partially transparent, and her eyes are a beady black. Ashamed of his daughter’s appearance, Matteo sentenced Allegra to a nocturnal existence away from his house staff and business partners.

Around 13, the spikes that decorate her skin began to come in, and at the same time she began to sneak out more, eventually falling in with the wrong crowd.

This led her to Carlotta, a girl 6 years her senior who was working as a runner for a different crime organization, she too being a mutant who was visibly different than others. Slowly she built a group of misfits around her, and at 16 Allegra ran away from home to permanently join Carlotta in her work

When she turned 18, and Carlotta 24, she began her own crime empire using connections she’d made as a runner. Her gang consisted of only visible mutants, as she believed they had it harder. She gave Allegra the name of Sanguine for her cheery personality as well as her power, which had now fully manifested.

Allegra’s power is blood manipulation, specifically that of other’s. It has to make contact with her skin where she can then mentally manipulate the field around her to harden and shape the blood, usually into weapons but sometimes into armor.

I imagine she betrays Carlotta after she discovers that she’s running a mutant trafficking ring some of the X-men have come to investigate. Said ring only selling mutants who can hide the fact they’re mutants out of spite. She abandons her friends for the X-Men in the end hoping to right her wrongs.

She covers her face in her civilian outfit to hide her sharp teeth and most of her face spikes, and her long coat is usually buttoned, hiding her body spikes.

Allegra’s X-men outfit shows more skin since the blood has to touch her skin to harden + she can turn it into armor. The tubes on the sides contain blood she can unscrew the bottom of to use, but she also carries knives in her leg pouch to replenish mid battle, same for the spikes on her uniform.

I’m undecided on who to ship her with, I’m torn between Nightcrawler or Magick, as she’s right between their headcanon ages for me. I see most of the new mutants + Kitty as being in their early to mid 20’s while I see Kurt as being in his early to mid 30’s.

Sorry for lore dumping about her but I need to share her with the world.

i demand to see your x-men ocs 💙

Tonight in Momentum

a few words in Momentum Writer, tonight. was hoping to make this more of a regular thing, but distractions are what they are. I bought a book the other day, that's far more of a regular thing and too much so really, I'll never have time to read them all but it's good for the economy not that billionaires care about such things or us. I bought a book the other day, it was on sale at least and called Poetry As Spellcasting which has three authors listed on the front cover, Tamiko Beyer, Destiny Hemphill and Lisbeth White, and even before I started reading it today I was thinking that there is a big difference between kids and adults and mush of it lies in the accumulation of -isms and it's all so loud, bright red to hot pink, and many kids are eligible for senior discounts at breakfast now. The term immature is often used, probably too much, but terms like malmature likewise too often have never really taken hold. Malingering words fit for a malformed world in stead. Growing up I had a fixation on sickles, for a short time. They're more than a decoration, or symbolism, when they're put to good use. Misfits. Function. Language is art. Art is magick. Art is functional. Functionality is magick. How much does it have to do with you. Mechanisms of defense and creativity are their own worlds. The book reads like a string of egos with their falsified histories, more than a how to, so far. The bibles are full of this stuff. Boomer and Psychick some what less so. Mythology. Turned pre-modern identity politics and commodified narratives. We know and get where it comes from. The sources ain't monolithic. Lindbergh's war time diaries were insightful, part of me wishes I had the time to reread. Living history, destroyed. Malconnections. My plate is already full. My focus is here, how many seconds into the past is every look in the mirror. How do they add up. It's not so much what the books tell us, and much hasn't been left unsaid. Perhaps erase, a living Nakba, from a simulacra eternal. We do wonderings. So I write. I paint. I doodle. I type. & here I am. & here I am. & here I am.

Wonder less.

The symbol of Mara, The Cold: Deity of Love and Growth and the Parent of all Merfolk who rules over the Plane of Water

[niaskotl]

Yep, we're still around, but I've never met a Discordian group.

Most Discordians are people that read the Principia Discordia and loved it, struck up a conversation with Eris, and learned to stop taking themselves so seriously.

It seems that Discordians are a bit like Satanists but while Satanists bring the devil in some variation into their lives to break up entrenched Christian ideas Eris romps into our brains to break up seriousness and teach us how to laugh at ourselves and everything else. Like Satanists, Discordians tend to appear to "grow out of it" once the needed transformation has occurred. This is often more of a deepening of understanding that becomes more subtle than a walking away from it.

Chaos and Eris continue to be central to my work. I went on to work with Misfit, a combination of Maat + Isfit as a hybrid god of order and chaos evident in self-organizing chaotic systems and processes like evolution by natural selection. It was only later that I learned that chaos/strife (Eris) that makes one better through competition was a traditional understanding of Eris.

Eris plays a central role in the system of emanant void magick I have been developing. She isn't the joking trickster she appears as in the Principia, but it is still her.

These days, I think you are likely to find pastafarians on a similar trajectory. imho, it is Eris who reaches out through a noodly appendage. In the end it is the same core of learning to take humor seriously and seriousness humorously.

Speaking of Discordians, are they still around? I only knew one or two and haven't hears from them in a while, and if they're active online I've moved to different virtual spaces.

Not that I'm wanting to seek any out: Discordianism annoys me on several levels. I'm just curious how influential the movement is these days

misfits & magic ii stat tracking: episode 9

the spreadsheet, for all to see

we're so close to the end and yet have so much more to do.

some brilliant moves in this episode. delicious lore for those of us that love it. looking back on the start, it does feel like the structure of the adventure was achieved, but the detours along the way and shortcuts in between have made it a unique little story.

i have to shoutout a few things:

evan hitting a d20 in magic again after making and breaking a magic item

k summoning the jumpsuits to help with the orrery ritual

jammer leading the orrery ritual

sam summoning the skye serpent with a selfie

the ritual of names to abjure and free the serpent

sam bonding with the qohlye

the qohlye being a middle-aged black man and also a goat at the same time. the art looked like a demon of the crossroads.

this is the first episode in a while where no one has gotten hurt

as always, the tag is #mismag ii stat tracking if you want to follow along.

mechanical/lore notes:

the skye serpent was summoned against to protect the orrery originally, and bound for millennia to that purpose

the fundamentals of magic as we know so far: intention, material, performance, location. in ritual, each of these must be addressed in order to add power and will sufficient to the working.

spellcraft and ritual are distinct as workings of magic: spells are reactionary while ritual takes deliberate invocations of each aspect of magic. rituals involve bigger workings and thus involve more sacrifice and channelling of the magicks that exist within the world and that the user summons to their will.

the qohlye gifted a boon once before to the wizard bombini, who helped to found gowpenny and bound the tadeshacourt, among other workings of magic

the hoopty is now grounded and the pilot program is flying to the islands of their own volition.

island/creature tracking:

the gowcentric orrery tracks the funnels of magic to the well at gowpenny. the orrery functions to create a cistern of magic that could be drawn upon by those wizards that bound it initially and their subsequent societies--its dispelling will disperse magic through the world more evenly. great workings must follow the ancient principles in order to be accomplished.

galamanis, the blind hellbender of creation. feeds into the chaos. things can be drawn from the ether, and that which is brought forth may be shaped by channeling through the self or through the material that has been created. currently channeled by whitney jammer.

qohlye, the winged goat of divination. truth and all that it means, opening the eyes of the viewer to the world in all of its potential. but the things that exist there do not always want to leave. who takes human form to communicate. currently channeled by sam butler.

seegenpelater, the double headed camel of captivation. can convince the mind of anything and the body with it. but the doing of magic takes a great price, of destruction and violence, and the island will gild the edges so it does not feel as though the world has changed.

weugan, the inverted wolf of amplification. symbols that speak to the increase of extant energy, matter and system. the condensed amplification of magic bleeding across deadened ground. currently channeled by k tanaka

tadershecourt, the skull antlered bear of defense and depletion, who warns of the necessary fear of the capabilities of magic and draws away from that which exists. protection of the self and others, of mind and body and soul. the full aspect of which the tadeshacourt is a part. currently channeled by evan kelmp.

miskoro, the fish-tailed bat of transmutation. taking energy or matter and maintaining the amount and intensity, but changing its identity.

the skye serpent who surrounds these pillars of magic in the storm, who was summoned to protect the orrery from a plane long forgotten and bound for millennia. who was freed from a eternity of servitude by the pilot program in their improvised ritual.

“Could you show me some magick?”

“Oh,” I whisper, then nod quickly. “Yeah, okay.”

I clear my throat and stand, then sit back down, because I don’t want to stand over him. He’s already so much shorter than me, I feel like a giant just sitting next to him. He tentatively presses a hand to my arm, lips parting, and I startle. He pulls back, not taking his eyes off me. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to make you nervous.”

“Oh, I’m not. Nervous, that is.”

Felix chuckles. “Okay. Well, you don’t have to make yourself smaller, for me.”

“Oh,” I say, then stand and straighten to my full height before him. The leaves and petals in my hair and along my skin stand to attention, and I blush at the image of preening like a fucking peacock.

“Wow,” Felix says, staring up at me with wide eyes. “You’re really tall.”

I almost lean down, but he takes my hand. This time, he doesn’t let go. “No, don’t.” Felix stands beside me, my hand in his. I stare down at our entangled fingers, then back to his face. His neck is craned and it looks painful, but the determination in his eyes is almost frightening.

I squeeze his hand, then let go. I put my hands up, smiling wide. “Okay, have it your way, tchotchke.”

Oh, how he smiles at that. He pretends to be affronted, but that smile. It’s perpetual, blinding. “I am not a small thing.”

I shrug, turning away from him. I bring my hands to chest level and smile upon coming up with an idea. I close my eyes and murmur, “Abracadabra.”

The power of the sexual energy

Have you ever wondered why some people might experience an untriggered emotional release after the act, finding themselves laughing, or crying having no clue why? some may feel a sudden urge to change something in their physical appearance or get so motivated towards life, while others may feel that they are demotivated, and depressed.

As it was mentioned, sexual energy is one of the most powerful existing energies for living beings. It is transmitted to your partner during the act, surely affecting them. Getting intimate with someone means connecting with them in the deepest possible manner you can imagine, even if it was a casual onetime thing. Hence, if your partner is carrying hatred and negative energies it will be affecting you and there is no way to stop it, and if they are carrying positive energies, you’ll be able to absorb that.

Sex can be truly empowering when you are with the right person, but it can also be extremely destructive in other situations. Knowing that all energies cannot be destroyed, they only change from one state to another, makes it impossible for this act to be casual.

🌿🌞The Craft Candle. A magickal candle dedicated to the film and the Craft.✨”Four female misfits connect with a higher power that enables them to rock and rule their high school”~The Craft. It was the summer of my 15th year when the movie, The Craft was released. And I will never forget how it changed my life, and the whole world around me. I remember “feeling” like I was different than most of those around me at an early age, but it was when I was 13 that I KNEW without a shadow of a doubt that I understood nature, power, balance....magick...and could get it to notice me because it was me.🎋I had a magical youth, and it was right before I turned 16 when The Craft came out, and then everyone in our school wanted to be a witch. It was comical. One day you are getting harassed and tormented by kids calling you a witch and the next day they come to school with a pentacle necklace from Claire’s around their neck wanting to be your best friend. It was the perfect time for such a film to be released. The youth of the early 90s had enough of the empty bubble gum mall rat glamor shot girls, it was time to pave the way for the garage band girls and goth chicks. Before you knew it, there was a clear divide in the high school hallways. You had the babydoll dresses with Birkenstock boot babes(me) and then you had the Gap girls in there overpriced pastel cotton tops that reeked of Bath and Body Works Country Apple spray. Identification was everything and The Craft helped “us misfits” find our fellow sisters which helped shape us into the women we are today. Those of you who lived through this particular time know just how potent those years were, and I could write about them for days because they were special times. Living proof that you can exist without the internet.✨I haven’t even begun to talk about the candle yet but IG is letting me know I only have a few words left. So I will make another post concentrating on the candle itself, but for now, here is The Craft Candle~for all of my fellow misfits who strived through the 90s!🌞🌿 #thecraft #craft #thecraftmovie #90s #90sstyle #magic #magick #wicca #misfits #witch #witchesofinstagram #witchcraft #witchythings #thevelvetlotus https://www.instagram.com/p/ByCQ25LBjuo/?igshid=ybtqk5gie6ji
