This sums up my past year pretty well.

"You were given new opportunities, but something happened to bring disappointment shortly after. However, the future is bright, and marriage is on the horizon."

I got engaged this year.

In the early 1980s, my mom came out as a lesbian and her mom told her "fine, but don't talk about it in front of your cousins" talking about my uncle ron's youngest daughters who were young teens at the time.

And for a while mom went along with this, but then her middle cousin started becoming more and more visibly a lesbian in the closet herself, so my mom said fuck it, and brought a partner with her to the next holiday so she could show her cousin it was okay to be herself.

My uncle ron putters over to this giant of a woman (mams always did like her butches over 6ft), looks her up and down, shakes her hand and slips her a gin and tonic, and then turns to mom and just says "cousins is cousins" and wanders back off again to chat with one of his kids.

I grew up my whole life hearing that phrase. Cousins is cousins. And it wasn't just about blood, it was a found family thing, you know? From inception, the whole point of this was "kiddo, I love you, and so I love anyone who loves you like they're my own." I think a lot about what it means to be a man like that with the weight of family obligation and generations of religious trauma on your back, and still look at this young woman you watched grow up and say that loving someone and being loved by someone will always matter more than anything else, no matter how important that other thing might be to someone.

I don't think the man ever understood a goddamn thing about my gender, but I know he loved me and he was happy that I was happy, and he was tickled pink that I liked the idea of aging into him.

More so garage sales than thrift stores, but I found a rubix cube box and spider-man Jesus candle (Spider-Jesus)

👻🕯️ Spirit Communication Candle Spell 🕯️👻

Honestly I feel bad sitting on this thing when I’ve had such great success with it so here it is:

Let’s make a spell candle for your spirits! This could be for a guide, an ancestor, anything that talks and is a spirit, this candle will work for.

This candle makes sure that only the designated spirit may talk during the convo so you don't have to worry if there is outside communication, it also takes the energetic toll off of them and you during the talk, helps enhance the clarity of the communication and helps foster a positive vibe during the convo as well.

Please remember to ask your spirits for consent before making and read the whole post before getting started.

To start, grab a glass prayer candle, it doesn't really matter what color it is. It could be their favorite color, it could be light blue for communication, it could be purple to represent spiritual realms, it could be just white.

On a piece of paper (the smaller the better), write the following paragraph and fill in the blanks: "I invite only __ energy while this candle is burning, all other spirits are respectfully asked to step aside. The communication with __ is clear, concise and filled with positive intentions"

On another small piece of paper, draw a sigil that draws the energy from source. I do this because without it, the energy draw it creates is pretty significant. Here is my sigil that i use for it:

On yet another small piece of paper, draw a sigil that stands for the intention of only that spirit talking while the candle is burning. I can't really show an example for this because the sigil changes based on what the name is. Either way you do your sigils, it'll be fine. Example intention for the sigil "While this candle burns, only jessica may talk"

Take those 3 pieces of paper, and put them to the side for now. Next, grab these following herbs and crystals and one by one, speak your intention into them and add them on top of the candle. You can soften the wax if you'd like to, but i don't find that necessary, I just throw them on top.

Crystals:

Blue Chalcedony: clear communication, self expression and tranquility

Amethyst: spiritual protection and help guard against negativity and other spirits talking

Obsidian: shield against negative energies, outside spirits trying to talk, and enhance clarity of communication

Lapis Lazuli: effective communication and self expression

Clear Quartz: amplify the energy and success of the spell

Yellow Agate: boost personal power, energy and help foster a positive vibe within the convo

Herbs:

Thyme: clarity in communication

Coffee grounds: boost the energy and success of the spell

Pink Salt: clarity, balance, grounding and healing

Cinnamon: boost energy and vitality of spell

All Spice: protection, prosperity, energy boost, psychic abilities, harmony

Do we really need all this for it to be successful? Not sure, but this is the recipe that has worked and proven successful time and time again. Okay so we have our crystals and our herbs on there, next we grab the 3 pieces of paper and burn them one at a time, putting the ashes on top of the wax.

To finish off the candle, redraw the first sigil that draws the energy from source and then on top of that sigil, draw the same sigil you did for the specific spirit and tape it onto the candle. I usually just draw these on sticker paper and stick it to the candle but if you don't have that, just tape it. Bonus points if you draw a cute design and put it on top! Here’s what my sigils would look like:

Yay! Now we have our finished candle. This candle works well for all sorts of communication methods. Tarot, pendulum, dousing rods, radio, apps etc etc, tho i made this candle with paranormal apps/radio in mind, that's where you'll see the most difference. Make sure you cut the wick well above the ashes, crystals and herbs because we don't want it being drowned out.

Please please please keep this candle within sight when first burning it cuz all those ashes are a pretty decent fire hazard and they most definitely will light on fire. I just poke em out when they do.

❗️The only disclaimers I have for this spell is the fact that it will not be perfect communication, you're speaking across dimensions after all, but it will most definitely help and you'll notice a difference both in the communication and energy levels, especially if you're using an app like ghosttube or a psb7 spirit box. Also, this candle creates a barrier. Please tell your spirit to let you know when they would like to go because they will not be able to leave the conversation by themselves, you'll have to blow out the candle in order for them to leave.

✨ If you'd like to get a commission for this spell instead of having to doing it yourself, DM me! I would absolutely love to make this candle for you so you can save time and money for supplies and as a bonus i'll make a cute design for the outside of the candle✨

it's possible that im just experiencing distorting nostalgia for the religious experiences of my childhood. but unfortunately i kind of suspect that the reason i respected and was moved by the sermons of rabbi [redacted for being an astonishingly googleable rabbi even though the rest of my post still makes it easy to google him and also im not even sure knowing this makes me more doxxable] is because he is an extraordinarily insightful, empathetic person who had the moral clarity and courage to vocally denounce the treatment of palestinians from the bimah for years until he eventually got thrown out and had to start his own congregation/work for the quakers instead. and it's possible that any rabbi who still runs anything resembling a mainstream congregation is also going to be, at best, kind of milquetoast/simply not interesting, or at least not obviously possessed of moral and ethical insights that i don't already have from things like "being able to read" and "already having thought about judaism before"

unfortunately i can't just go to the new congregation that rabbi formed bc it's 1. not in a city i live in 2. more of an activist group in kind of a vague congregation shape that mostly made me feel like i'm a disgusting western ashkenazi supremacist for wanting religious practice to involve melodies i know and can sing instead of a rotation of international sephardic melodies accompanied by hand drum

What's a God box in AA?

In AA, a God box is a small container or box that is used to symbolize turning over problems or worries to a higher power. The idea behind the God box is that individuals write down their worries or concerns on a slip of paper and then place it in the box as a way of relinquishing control and trusting in a higher power to handle the situation.

The God box is often used as a tool in Step 3 of the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous, which involves making a decision to turn one's will and life over to the care of a higher power as the individual understands it.

cw // bondage, rough punishment (?), feet lol

tying lino up?🥰

idgaf feet are ugly but I'd tie his legs up so his feet are elevated and bound together and I'd gag his bitchass and shut him the fuck up and grab those pegs (yk to hang up clothes) and put them on his toes one by one🤭

awww it hurts? good🥰

imagine taking those canes yk and just fucking smacking it against the soles of his feet🤭 aww poor baby crying against the gag🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭

punishing him by also using different types of floggers, crops, loops, paddles whatever you have lying around to spank/hit his legs, thighs, ass etc. leaving pinkish marks and the more you keep going the redder the skin grows and the more you see the marks left on his delicate skin🥰🥰🥰🥰

imagine the way he'd flinch each time🤩🤩 crying so cutely and pressing his legs together, seemingly nervous suddenly? oh? so you walk around and he tries to turn away and you yank him back and see his dick hard and throbbing against his tummy🤭🤭

heehee hitting his tummy? hitting the skin of his cute tummy with a crop? leaving marks on it? using the flogger to tickle his sides just so smack it down when he gets too squirmy? 🤭🤭🤭🥰🥰

you should definetly take a picture of his lewd position, lower body filled with marks and flustered skin🥰🥰🤭🤭🫶🏻🫶🏻

now what could have possibly sparked this sudden cruelty towards sweet innocent angel lino who has never done anything wrong in his entire life? 🥰

gagging lino is always a favorite…pretty pouty lips wrapped around a ballgag so no matter how much he tries to mouth off it all just comes out as cute garbled nonsense instead <3 clothespins on his toes is actually such a deliciously evil idea i love it hehe restraining the kitty’s claws so he can’t lash out at you 😼 it’d be fun to go the extra mile and put clamps on his nipples too i just can’t get the idea out of my head that they’re extra sensitive…toying w every part of his pretty body except the spot where he needs you most~ there’s smth so satisfying abt the thought of his sweet, airy, angelic voice getting rougher and raspier w each lil shout and gasp he lets out each time you smack his skin ❤️‍🔥

hitting the skin of his tummy…….this is a direct calculated attack on ME -_-; the soft expanse of his stomach rising and falling so rapidly and littered w fresh red marks…i loveee the idea of gently tickling his sides almost to soothe him, then surprising him w a sudden impact. the difference between his soft mewls that it tickles and his yelps of pain would be so good (esp w the added thrill of carefully smacking around the area where his dick is twitching against his tummy…just to make his heart race a lil more)
