@guerrillarain @somarasu @roastbeest @subunitA I'm hoping to watch it this week! Crazy things going on,but I'm really glad to see it! You want a reply at that anonymous-statements-ok site?

@lanodan_wtch Wow, pretty cool expression. :)

I gotta write all this in my book of shadows. (Grimoire?)

The physical idol invites the mind to be reminded of an imagined or perceived image of an idol.

When I think about it, an idol or fetish invites the mind into paralysis. I've spent painful moments trying to forecast the actions of objects & fate based on my mind's image of consequences and knowledge of the object.

In this way, our mind runs a simulation we idolize and imagine ourselves unable to match the mind we idolize and fetishize. But the image of the object includes our inability to compare, which is already enough of a stain in our mind to take even the tiniest of mental resources from us.

I realized more about Ness's destruction & confrontation of an idol of his nightmares, in his own mind.

In a way, the only way that the godlike power this evil--or any evil--had power over him is because there was a place inside him that he had allotted for that evil's claims. What if Ness's nightmare was "the death of the universe? His failure? Unknown horrors he could never prepare for?"

Ultimately, this "image" conjured by Ness of the horrible, was his remaining idolization of those powers: taking the literal form of a "fetish," the Mani-Mani Statue: a hotline of evil that clouded idolizing minds with manipulative visions.

Sitting in the shade of the nice weather and thinking about an #iChing reading I got yesterday; mountain over water changing to tree/wind on a mountain. The first hexagram is about all teachers having been pupils somewhere along the line, and about the nature of teaching. The changing lines cover much, but convert to a hexagram about gradual progress.

I had asked it about my writing, and my progress in life in general, and the changing line I was told as dominant, talks about idolatry.

I just looked up the etymology, but it didn't reveal more than what I realized today. I've been idolizing all sorts of my fears, as if they might consume me.

@ThatVeryQuinn I relate to that. And it possessed my activities for a bit and still does.. There's a lot of "retroactive watching" the current day of data scraping gets.
I think that, if they got into my head like that, though, I'm suffering a lot more from the idolization of their power.

@kara_dreamer @Ulfra_Wolfe I just learned a new ritual. 😂

@Ulfra_Wolfe @kara_dreamer I'm too bashful to bless in any form without consent >.>¡!

@Ulfra_Wolfe @kara_dreamer Oh my. Offerings of magic spells or praxis to help @kara_dreamer's day? I like the thought, though my only thought would be to throw iChing coins.. I've been doing that almost every time I find myself struggling.

@Maenad <3 Beautiful work, Maggie :3

Sitting here and thinking about everything. I had considered another way to get my writing done: dictate it to myself all day and listen and transcribe near the end of the day. But I worry about losing track of the last statement I made all day..

Maybe I'll get back into just writing on my phone, ATM.

Meanwhile, I have a buck of reagents I might be able to use in a spell, but the right use seems the most important to me. I wouldn't want to burn gifted roses I've dried, for example. Hmm..

@kara_dreamer wow, Massachusetts has a Beacon Hill stop, too. I was confused about where you lived for a bit.. XD

@ThatVeryQuinn I swear this might be a hint in all these ridiculous kinky illustrations I like with impossible penetrations

@Dalmaty Wow.. Hang in there..!

@guerrillarain Oh my goddess.

Good luck. I don't know what's gonna happen here.
