Found important lore on tiktok of all places
OWCA deadass said “yo Heinz we’re sending a platypus to kick your ass. his name is Perry xoxo”
I always assumed that it happened like this:
Perry: (crashes through window)
Doofenshmirz: A platypus?!
Perry: (puts on hat)
Doofenshmirz: A—platypus wearing a fedora?!
(Perry hands Doofenshmirtz a business card. Doofenshmirtz puts on his reading glasses.)
Doofenshmirz: (gasps) PERRY the Platypus!
I hate how in-character this is
The picture on the left is of Aiyana Stanley-Jones, a 7 year old who was shot to death in 2010 by the man on the right, Officer Joseph Weekley of the Detroit Police Department.
During a raid to find Aiyana’s aunts boyfriend, police threw a flash grenade into Aiyana’s house. She was sleeping on the couch. Weekley stormed into the home, couldn’t see from the grenade, and fired his gun into Aiyana’s head.
Weekley claimed that Aiyana’s grandmother had tried pushing the gun out of his hand and it accidentally fired. During investigation there were no fingerprints belonging to the grandmother found on the gun.
Weekley went through two trials for manslaughter and reckless endangerment. He was acquitted of all charges.
When Weekley returned to his job after the trial, he was made co-chair of the Detroit Police Department Committee on Race and Equality.
Weekley’s brother has been seen on facebook calling the Black Lives Matter movement a “fucking terrorists” group.
Aiyana’s father, Charles Jones, is currently in prison for 40-60 years for suppling a man a gun that was used in a murder.
Aiyana would have graduated high school this week.
Why artists and writers reblog their work multiple times:
- They posted it late at night and want people to see it in the daytime
- They want others to reblog it
- They want more attention for it
- THEY WANT OTHERS TO REBLOG IT
- They have followers in different timezones and want everyone to get a chance to see it
- THEY WANT OTHERS TO REBLOG IT
- IF THEY REBLOG IT MULTIPLE TIMES, THEY’RE DOING IT BECAUSE THEY WANT ATTENTION FOR IT AND THEY’RE LIKELY NOT GETTING ENOUGH, SO THEY KEEP REBLOGGING IT IN THE HOPES THEY’LL GET SOME
- BE A COOL BRO AND REBLOG
- THEY’LL LOVE YOU FOREVER

“Bro why you keep reblogging your own work bro” “BECAUSE NO ONE ELSE IS”

The same reason movies play in theaters for longer than one night.
The same reason art exhibits last for days.
The same reason music isn’t listened to only once.
Reblogging for the last comment! 👍👍👍
100% this.
Quick note: Not reblogging this to say LOOK, YOU HAVEN’T REBLOGGED CREATORS’ CONTENT, YOU ARE GUILTY, LET ME GUILT TRIP YOU.
Everyone has their reasons to reblog/not reblog and no one should feel ashamed for that.
The reason I’m reblogging this is because it’s SO important for people to understand WHY creators reblog multiple times and to not get frustrated about it. They made something they’re proud of, and no one should be trying to make them feel ashamed of that.
Don’t get caught up in people’s illusions. Money, clothes, and nice things are great but what’s even better is being in tune with oneself and focusing on your journey to manifest your own happiness.
Insecurity Spread
1.) The Root of My Insecurity: In what area of your life are you the most insecure about? I’d pay attention to suits for a broad area, and then punch in.
2.) Current Unhealthy Coping Mechanism: What are you doing now to deal with this insecurity? Is it healthy? This is the place for your cards to call you out.(lol)
3.) Healthier Coping Mechanism: How can you better cope with your insecurity? How can you grow into a more confident person?
4.) Affirmation from the Universe: This is a chance to reach out to your guides or higher self. What are you doing right? What’s going well?
theapprenticedeck
Applications are back up, for specific cards only! The amount of response we got was amazing, but sadly many cards were lacking responses. Therefore we have extended the deadline for these in an attempt to get at least one apprentice per card! Below are the basic outlines of the cards for your ease, and if you believe your apprentice fits one of these archetypes, please fill out the form!
Meanwhile, I’ll be going through the current applications and selecting contributors for the cards that aren’t listed here.
Witchy Record Keeping; What To Do With A Grimoire/Book of Shadows/ etc.
In my practice, the most important tools are my Book of Mirrors and Grimoire. Record keeping is very crucial to my witchcraft practice. Emphasis on mine, some people find they don’t need to keep records on their magickal information. I feel I need to keep track of where I am in my practice and have it for the future should I ever want to look back.
Witchcraft is deeply personal to each Witch, or your practice is I mean. I find it important to keep records as we are so prone to change we have to keep in mind our past and present to move into our futures. So, here we go.
What’s The Difference?
What is the difference between a Grimoire and Book of Shadows? Well, based in the dictionary there is one, but these words have adopted a different meaning to different people.
Technically speaking, a Grimoire is for spells whereas a Book of Shadows is like a magickal diary or journal. It holds all the other information for your practice.
There is some overlap and some blurring of the lines for some people, and it isn’t required you have both or either. You can really call it whatever you want, there’s no rules to it.
I don’t use a Book of Shadows anymore. My first book was a Book of Shadows but I have since moved on to call my new one a Book of Mirrors. I have a friend who calls hers a Book of Ursa Major. You can call your witchy book whatever you like.
What Should It Look Like?
What do you want it to look like? Ok, I know there’s a big thing with the witch aesthetic to have a beautiful leather bound journal. Yes, my old Book of Shadows is leather bound and so is my Grimoire. But my Book of Mirrors is a blue binder I bought at the store with some cool dividing insets and some covers I made.
You can do whatever you want! You want that leather bound journal, save up for it! You want some old notebook? Go for it! Want to do it electronically? You do you! It’s whatever works for your practice. The only reason I used leather bound for my first Book of Shadows was because it had been a gift from my grandparents. I already had it.
Do what makes you happy and also what you have available to you. There’s nothing wrong with using a notebook or binder, actually I find the binder really useful in keeping things sorted.
Use what you have, it doesn’t have to be fancy.
Where To Start?
I always make a cover page when I start, some people will put a blessing spell in the front, and if you’re Wiccan you can put the Wiccan Rede on the first page if you so please. The reason I make a cover page is to give it an introduction, to write down my book and know this is something important to me. If you want, go in and start writing spells in it. I do recommend you do a blessing spell on it. Just to ensure it is protected and will give you inspiration.
Book Blessing Spell
Take three crystals and put one at the top and two by the sides of the book, you sit with the bottom of the book facing you.
Lay your hands on the cover and recite
“Book of Shadows made to hide,
Book of Light made to guide.
It is you and I, mighty book,
To discover the secrets others overlook.
So mote it be, my good friend.
May we be there till the end.”
How To Fill My Pages?
How do you want to fill the pages? With spells, obviously, but you can include a myriad of other things. Are you a kitchen witch? Put your favorite recipes in there! A green witch? Fill with information about plants! Worship Gods and Goddesses? Put their stories and correspondences in there!
It is to be made by you and no one else. Below are some extra prompt ideas.
Prompts
Ancestor Dedication
Tarot Guide
Personal Correspondences
Symbols Guide
Tool uses
Secret messages
Maps
Flower or herb pressings
Your own art
Stories from your astral travels/ dreams/ nature walks
Your hopes and dreams
Anything Else?
Because this book is made to keep records of where you are in your path, try and date everything. Also every now and again write down your beliefs, what gods you follow or don’t follow, what you believe about the universe, what you believe about magick, etc. Talk about the why and how of your practice.
Most of all, enjoy what you’re creating. Your Book of Shadows/Mirrors/Light/Whatever You Call It is all about you and your practice. Make sure it’s fun and make sure it’s a reflection of you.
This might be one of my longest posts yet but it’s something that’s really important to me. I want other witches to know their practice is their own and everything they do it in belongs to them.
Blessed Be!
Planetary Rulership of the Signs✨
✨Overview-
💫 -Each sign is ruled by the planet or planets with which it has the most affinity. The planetary ruler of that sign will give us a more in depth look at how that planet, house cusp or angle will express itself 💥
💫- Everything in a chart occupies a zodiac sign and each of your planets occupies a particular sign✨
💫- Each persons chart contains all the planets, but everyone’s charts are different so from chart to chart the planets occupy different signs and houses and will therefore bear different relationships to each other around the chart.

How does one become more intuitive?
Sure-Fire Ways to Master Your Intuition
1) Scry Half Asleep
- Go to a quiet place, and dim the lights.
- Close your eyes and ask your higher power a question.
- Pay attention to what you see. Names… numbers… faces… dates.
- Once the visions stop, open your eyes and note them down.
- After a few days, see if and how they manifested.
- I once saw an old clock and heard the word “Praha”. I ended up being sent to Prague on a fully paid trip unexpectedly.
- At first, your visions will mean nothing. They will be shallow. A McDonald’s signage… A TV commercial… This is your intuition warming up. Soon enough, it will be sprinting. As long as you keep going.
2) Designate People to Tarot
- To a beginner, the characters in tarot can feel out of reach and intimidating. Bring them down to earth.
- Does Strength remind you of your mother? Is she calm and fearless in the face of danger?
- Does The Fool remind you of Harry Potter? Isn’t he young and untrained, but rich in nerve and courage?
- Do you see yourself in the Seven of Pentacles? Always planting seeds that are never quite ripe enough for harvest?
- The next time you read tarot, you will not be seeing strangers, but people you know at heart. This is how your intuition can connect to the cards.
3) Record Your Dreams
- Keep a journal on your nightstand.
- The moment you wake up, write down what you remember. No matter how meaningless, no matter how strange.
- Did you see yourself naked in public? Or late for class? Perhaps falling from a building? The theme here is fear.
- Did you see a younger version of yourself? In a playground? Maybe eating a snack no longer sold today? The theme is nostalgia.
- Analyze your own dreams. Research them online if you like.
- This is you bridging the gap between your conscious and subconscious. This is you taming your intuition.
4) Know People’s Zodiac Signs
- Be curious about your teachers’, superiors’ and peers’ astrological personality, even if only through their Sun sign.
- Watch how the Air signs harmonize with Fire, yet clash with Earth and Water.
- See how a Scorpio is quiet and subtle in her intensity, while an Aries is loud with his.
- Life is complicated, and people are complex. But if you can understand their basic instincts, you will make fewer enemies and more friends.
- More importantly, your intuition will be able to warn if a person wishes you harm.
5) Devour Literature
- For all the intricacies of life, every feeling that has ever been felt has already been recorded.
- See movies. Read books. Really hear the words. Really watch the expressions.
- Understanding characters is a step to understanding people, which ultimately leads to understanding yourself.
- It will help you realize that intuition is not a supernatural being that can never be quite grasped. You will find that it and you have always been one right from the start. 🌹
How To Bond With Your Cards
Hello everyone! I thought I’d pen a little post on how to bond with your tarot or oracle cards. I have two tarot decks and one oracle deck and I wanted to give some advice on how to give the best readings.
Night, Cards
One thing that gets you to know the energy of your cards and the cards to get to know your energy is to sleep with them in your bed. Put them beside your pillow or under it and by the time you wake up the next morning, you will have a special connection with your cards.
I did this recently with my oracle deck, called Literary Witches Oracle, and I woke up the next morning and did a little card pull. I felt so much more connected with them. It felt so different than other readings I’ve done.
Write Down The Meanings
This is best for tarot decks. Pull out the card and write down first the meaning you feel holding the card and then look up the meaning in a book and write it down too. Having these two meanings will let you feel cards a little more because you used your intuition to get to know your cards.
Read and Read Again
Do readings with your cards. Not just for big life decisions but for little things and little ideas. Your cards want to get to know you just as much as you want to get to know them. Let them understand your heart just as you understand their meanings.
Be Careful
This last one I find is extremely important. Don’t just give others readings willy nilly. Try and be careful who you choose to give readings for. Don’t just give a reading to everyone, try to give them to people who will treat your cards respectfully. The reason I find this so important is because I have given readings to people who don’t respect tarot and it didn’t feel good after. My cards did not feel happy.
So, with all these tips under your belt let’s hope you can go into learning and reading your cards. The cards are more than just tools but also friends.
Blessed Be!
In regard to the relationship..
1. What I want out of this relationship
2. Expectations that aren’t being met
3. Underlying fears
4. Where you don’t see eye to eye
5. What’s not being confronted
6. What you need to let go of
7. What your heart says
8. Part of me that needs time to heal
Tarot cards cheat sheet, I found these Tarot stickers online which is what I had been waiting for before I could start on these.
I'm debating on whether I want to put borders at the top of some pages because they seem very plain and need something, any input would be appreciated, even if you think I should keep it plain

How to Avenge Yourself with Tarot
My grandma taught me never to draw first blood. But that if a soul hurts me maliciously, the old gods will consider my vengeance an act of self-love.
Step 1: State your case.
In a dim, quiet, private place… shuffle your cards, as you recount to them every detail of how you were cruelly injured. As if writing in a diary, divulge aloud your agony. Let your heart fill with ache. Let your body swell with rage.
Step 2: Choose the punishment.
When your pain and fury are at their peak… find the card in the deck that in your soul you believe to fit the misdeed.
Death: Serious illness
The Devil: Emotional abuse
The Tower: Sweeping chaos
The Moon: Damaging secrets revealed
Five of Wands: Friends turning foes
Seven of Wands: Crippling stress
Nine of Wands: Paranoia
Ten of Wands: Bone fractures
Five of Cups: Bouts of depression
Two of Swords: Significant errors in judgement
Three of Swords: Sudden loss of love
Five of Swords: Defeat in competitions
Eight of Swords: Mental or physical imprisonment
Nine of Swords: Insomnia and anxiety
Ten of Swords: Festering cuts and bruises
Knight of Swords: Physical and verbal abuse
Five of Pentacles: Financial ruin
Step 3: Decide the duration.
Find a second card in your deck. Remember that even the smallest cut left unchecked can lead to death. So unless it is warranted… be fair and be prudent.
Ace of Wands: A few days
Ace of Swords: A week
Ace of Cups: A month
Ace of Pentacles: A year
Step 4: Carry out the sentence.
Hold both cards in your hands, with the punishment on top, and the duration behind it, hidden in the back.
Gaze at the card… and with every fiber of your being, imagine it moving.
If it is the Knight of Swords, watch him gallop on his way to cut your oppressor in half. If it is Death, see your oppressor lying lifeless by the Reaper’s horse. If it is the Ten of Swords, let your oppressor take the place of the corpse in the card. Watch their back ooze with blood from every wound, gash and slash.
Step 5: Let it go.
Your raw vulnerability in admitting your injury has connected you to the higher power you have faith in, be that the Universe or a deity.
They have heard your appeal, which will soon be fulfilled. Offer them your gratitude in advance. Your wounds are now in good hands.
It could take days… weeks… even longer. It will happen once your oppressor believes they have gotten away with bruising you. At that moment, a colossal flame will engulf their contentment. And you will know in your heart that the debt has been collected.
