Announcement
I have decided to put the bigger, meatier posts up on Wordpress.
Thank you to all of you who added your two cents yesterday. Even though most of ya’ll opposed the idea, it still felt right to me to post them there, rather than over here.
And seeing how the post I just made to The Big Blog was just over 1000 words, I’m glad I did it that way.
So to recap:
Tumblr for: Making friends, off-the-cuff commentary, posting pretty pictures, conversing with people, general awesomeness.
Wordpress for: Large chunks of text detailing more in-depth aspects of what it is I’m doing/what’s going on with my life, pictures/descriptions of up-coming projects (I do have a few up my sleeve), specific awesomeness.
Again, thank you to everyone who chimed in and helped me mull this decision over. Ya’ll are the best. <3
Oh, Poppa.
Why do you ask for the weirdest, most off-the-wall shit?
It’s to keep me on my toes, right?
Right?
It’s to keep me on my toes.

I think it would be neat to see it here. This is a place for your content and if that content is your growth, then so be it! :3
Also noted.
(If some of these answers seem short/clipped, I’m not meaning to sound bitchy, I’m just mulling this all over. ^.^)
Fun fact: This happened. This actually happened when I made my Wordpress account ages ago. And it’s ‘witchcunt’ over there, just like it is here.
ARE YOU GOING TO GET IT

I almost never wandered off tumblr unless I get a notification email from the blog. I make long posts myself so whatever’s easier for you.
I mean, after doing all these….not ‘silly’ posts, exactly, but off-the-cuff posts, it just seems weird to post something long and personal and explanatory over here. Because it doesn’t really feel like it goes with the whole theme (HAHA! THEME! Like I have a theme other than ‘bitchy’!) of this blog.
And I would definitely post a link over here whenever I post something up on Wordpress as well as put a link to the other blog on the sidebar of this one.
So I’m not sure it would be easier, necessarily, but it might feel more…organic to me?
THRIFT STORE FINDS!
So excited. I already have The Celtic Seer’s Sourcebook, even though I haven’t read it at all, but I found another book by the same authors. I know they’re known in the recon community, and though some of their ideas are not really well founded, they do try to cite their sources and are good for inspiring UPG and getting some big-picture type things.
Mastering Witchcraft is a gem from the ’70s, before witchy books got fluffy. It’s not academic or anything, but these kinds of books are great for both laughs and inspiration, as they are often compiled from various sources.
Mastering Witchcraft has been on my wishlist for yeeeears now. Dunnow why I’ve never got around to buying it. Tell me what you think once you read it, yeah?
Oh dude, I rented it from my uni library and read it through last year. I loved it! It’s hokey and so historically incorrect at times, but the spells and stuff are really good and inspiring sometimes. I think some of it’s based on that old-timey possibly-fake-maybe-not grimoire type stuff. It’s pretty sweet, but you have to take it with some salt of course.
Awesome! And don’t worry; I keep my salt shaker handy when reading books on witchcraft. You sorta have to learn to do that when you cut your witch-y milk teeth on Llewellyn books. lol

Question for my Followers:
So, when I started this blog, it was supposed to be a record of my ‘journey’ while reconfiguring this new thing I’m doing (IE: my path).
And it’s just sorta turned into random rants, pretty pictures and conversations with you lovely folk. Which don’t get me wrong, I love it!
But I’m just wondering if I should continue on doing what it is I’m doing over here and put the heftier, meatier posts up on Wordpress (which is what I was planning on doing in the first place).
What do ya’ll think? Would you prefer that, or would it just be daunting/annoying?
"When someone says ‘I have these two crystals if you rub them together you’ll get healthy.’ Rather than just discount it—because that’s as lazy as accepting it, both of those are just lazy brain—what you should do is inquire. So do you know how to inquire? Every scientist would know how to start that conversation. They would say ‘Well where did you get these? What kinds of ailments does it cure? How does it work? What does it cost? Can you demonstrate that it works?’ And you go through this… And at the end the person is in tears because they weren’t prepared for that level of questioning. So science literacy is vaccine against charlatans of the world that would exploit your ignorance of the forces of nature. "
Neil de Grasse Tyson - on the nature of scientific inquiry (via doubtingmarcus)
Yes, thank you Neil de Grasse Tyson. THANK YOU QUALITY HUMAN BEING, YOU.
Also, this is why I get frustrated with so called skeptics and scientists who lazily dismiss anything that they don’t immediately think is valid. Which includes a lot of non-Western medicine which - actually - isn’t just crystals being rubbed together and comes with a lot of people who can tell you what it does, why it does it, where it comes from, and have CENTURIES of compiled, observed data to prove their claims.
Thank you for this. Because it’s so true. Dismissing everything out of hand is JUST AS LAZY as accepting everything. YES YES YES YES. I really want to post that somewhere. It’s like laying on your right side rather than your left. You’re still LAYING DOWN.
As a person who daily gets slammed with bad science and bad science reporting because ZOMG OBESITY IS HORRIBLE ALWAYS AND WILL CAUSE BIG FAT DEATH and gets told that I’m a burden on everyone and especially when I try to get health care - it’s so comforting seeing someone advocate that people actually think about this shit and think about it from both ends rather than just dismissing those who are telling them, “Umm, we can show you good evidence that, no, obesity isn’t this terrible, death-guaranteeing thing that is always preventable and guarantees bad health”, they’d actually explore that with a mind that’s ready to ask questions and weight EVIDENCE.
How does he pack so much truth into one little quote? PLEASE, LET’S INQUIRE AS TO YOUR AWESOME, NEIL DGT.
