So back in the middle ages, many magicians felt that the world was primarily ruled astrologically. The planets, the moon and the sun, and signs of the zodiac, were all a sort of heavenly language that God used to administer the world.
The evidence for this was the similarities of things. The sign of cancer looked like a crab, therefore it ruled over crabs, and all things like crabs. So the sign of cancer was connected in some way to any thing reclusive, hard-shelled, furtive, and self-reliant. This idea, that the star signs and planets are connected to qualities on earth, is known as "The Doctrine of Signatures."
This extends to the body! Check out this image from De Occulta Philosophia, in which Agrippa shows which star signs rule over which elements of the body.
(yes that diagram on the left is what horoscope charts used to look like.)
This diagram is from the 1500s. Take note of the planetary associations on the left here. The core of the body is associated with the sun, but the genitals, the genitals are lunar. (Because they ebb and flow like the tides as they get excited.)
Humorously, but also as significant magical commentary, Alieststair Crowley would extend this conception of the Magical Solar Internal Core of the body to the idea that the butthole was therefore also solar in nature. This was both simply a logical extension of Agrippas magical theories, and a clever jab at traditional religious institutions. (The Christian god is often considered astrally solar in nature.)
He combined this with alchemical doctrine --in which the uniting of the sun and moon is popular imagery-- and came to the conclusion that penis-in-butthole sex was one of the most magically potent things a person could do.

Obsessed with them showing all of their security measures that could never be used against them ever at all
I hope someone who sees this video gets through every single one of her security measures to do nothing but put an elf on the shelf somewhere and then never return
I have so many questions.
- If whatever she's afraid of needs that many defense mechanisms against it, what the hell is her husband going to do. Why is she so dramatically much more afraid when her husband isn't home
- How much did all of this stuff cost
- How fast could paramedics or firefighters get into the house in an emergency? How fast could she get OUT of the house in an emergency?
- what is that stupid whistle going to do
- This is a covert ad for these products isn't it
In all seriousness this is a symptom of one of the most toxic elements of American culture, which is the belief that isolation is more likely to protect you from the danger of other people, than other people are to protect you from the danger of isolation.
Realistically, a medical emergency or house fire is far more likely to occur than being randomly murdered in your own house by a stranger, but this woman "protects" herself from the safety of living in community, thereby exposing herself to the danger of living in isolation.
I'm like, morbidly fascinated to observe how normal American women think it is to fear the entire world. I am American but it's still weird to me how every other woman has a deeply ingrained fear of going for a walk alone and expects me to as well.
I'm also really caught off guard when people say things like "Oh, there might be someone on drugs" about a poor or dilapidated area, as a reason it's dangerous. In my experience, the average American seems to have no idea what "drugs" are or do, only a vague impression that they are somewhat like rabies and cause people to become indiscriminately violent and dangerous towards everyone around them.
At my first college there was a restaurant downtown that everyone said was "a front for human trafficking." Even professors would say this. Despite the widespread nature of this rumor, it never seemed to occur to anyone that this information could be actionable or that any authority could be informed about the presence of a human trafficking ring. It was just a fact; human trafficking networks were an assumed part of the everyday world, something that had to be avoided like potholes in the road.
I think about these things a lot.
