🌻Apollo's Child🌻

@weshipsolangelo

Apollonian | Lokean | Pagan | Beginner Witch he/they
Bull-god, drunk god, god of women and transvestites, giver of ecstasy, master of dance, lord of the emotions—such were the various masks worn by the daimon whose lineage went back to ancient Minoan civilization. In his myths and rituals, Dionysos embodied both a feeling for the living continuities of nature and a concept of the human personality as an organism deeply rooted in the nonrational forces of the cosmos. Serving as the focus for the spiritual needs of Greece's underclasses, he became the god that the patriarchal establishment could neither accept nor eliminate. And so Dionysos represented the return of the repressed in several senses: return of the religious needs of the lower classes, return of the demands of the nonrational part of the self, and return of the Minoan feeling for the living unity of nature. And so in turn he threatened several repressors: the aristocracy of well-to-do male citizens, the domination of intellect over emotion, the alienated ethos of the city-state.

🔮 Absolutely random, assorted facts from my experience with Tarot:

  • You can set rules with your deck. Don’t like reversed cards? Don’t pull them. Don’t interpret them. Request not to get them. Don’t care about the position of the card and want only its meaning? Ask for it.
  • You can pull confirmation cards. If you are working with a companion, you can set up their personal confirmation card. If you’re working with the deck and the general universe, you can pick a feel-good card (or a rare card if you want) and request it whenever you want to get a vibecheck.
  • You can repull. If it feels weird, it probably is weird. If you keep pulling the same card all over again, it’s probably correct. But if you pulled one weird one that just doesn’t seem like it belongs, repull. Your deck - your rules.
  • You don’t need to sweat too much over “official meanings”. So what if the Tower means “something bad”? If it means something positive for you, go with your feelings first. Each practitioner will have their own associations with the cards. I for one quite like the Tower, but I genuinely hate getting the High Priestess. It’s individual.
  • You don’t need to work with a specific Deity, spirit, or daemon. The cards are powerful tools without any additional presence.
  • You can assign a deck to a particular entity. I have four decks, out of which three belong to (a) companion(s) of mine. This is completely individual and fully relies on who you want to touch your cards.
  • You can confuse the cards. When the reading starts to feel like it just reiterates your feelings, it probably is. Or you worded your question badly and the cards don’t know what to tell you. Or you already know the answer. Or maybe something else.
  • You might be turning your spread into multiple spreads. If your session with tarot can be broken into a number of smaller sessions, you are probably overworking yourself. It helps to step back and think whether or not your multi-card spread turned into a multitude of smaller spreads. Is that why nothing is making sense?
  • You might be told to read cards some other time. Bias, moods, instability, or the cards just being not in the good state - all of these can affect whether they agree to work with you in the first place. I’ve had decks that stayed “silent” for months on and decks that were willing to work with me every day. It depends.

P. S. One more time: this is just my experience. It is not universal.

World Heritage Post

Everyone here is dead.

Omg 10 years of hold my flower!

this metamorphosis introduction quote i had in my book,, man

"But the Samsa family is the Sambeetle's context and his cage, and his subservience to the needs of his family both before and after his transformation extends, ultimately, to his realization that it would be more convenient for them if he just disappeared, it would be an expression of his love for them, in fact, so he does just that, by quietly dying."

i feel like this shows gregor samsa so well and what kind of person he is,, worrying about everyone above himself and i feel like our limbus gregor is the same

Thinking about the metamorphosis in relation to disability..how people treat you differently once you’re not able to care for yourself. The way the amount of care you get can depend on how unoffensive you seem. How isolated you can become once people start dehumanizing you. How distressed you can become with a body that betrays your innermost weaknesses to others. How flippantly the world can treat your struggles because they “aren’t relatable enough.” I relate to you bug man 😔

 Pantheons in fantasy will almost always be something like “fire deity, water deity, light deity, EVIL deity, GREAT MOTHER” while an average bronze age city’s pantheon was s/t like “deity personifying the city, god everyone has to treat as the main one because his city got geopolitically lucky, three or so personifications of main local sources of income, a nearby mountain, half a dozen incoherent minor deities (at least one is the result of some misspelling a name), deified branding iron”

It’s amazing how in just about three years of practicing witchcraft, I’ve gone from the mindset of “I must follow every single thing that other witches post online,” to “I’m doing what I want.”

I feel you. I somehow managed to do this in about a year and a half and I'm glad I did. Managed to banish someone from my dreams somehow too. Finally, I was able to sleep and I'm glad I haven't followed "the rules" of witchtok or whatever

Holy shit, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Tumblr post with this many notes. See you all in April!

HAPPY THURSDAY THE 20TH @hellsite-hall-of-fame

I release you, my beautiful and terrible fear. I release you. You were my beloved and hated twin, but now, I don’t know you as myself. I release you with all the pain I would know at the death of my children.

You are not my blood anymore.

I swear if you put greek party god Dionysus, norse trickster god Loki, and cosmic deity Beyonder(MGaDD ver) in a room or a party place its going to be the best party in history and nothing would beat it, ive joked about them being the fruity god trio but honestly i dont think its far from the truth, im not sure if they would get along but either way it will be great.
