Corsair PV

posting this here bc this is still my favorite thing I've made to date

Waiting out for the signs, drifting on the waves. What a summer it's been, huh? Tomorrow's a celebration of an occult moment that changed my life. I'll be happy to look to the stars and smile that evening.

Alaska saw its first aurora last night! Aurora season has officially begun!

Rosaleen Norton, “Bacchanal”

‘If the Kingdom of Pan had always been with me, it had been mostly in the background, overlaid by what was called reality: Now it had begun to emerge and pervade the latter.’ — Rosaleen Norton, interview (‘Australasian Post,’ 1957)

A LOT HAS HAPPENED IN THE LAST, LIKE, HOUR OR TWO BE KIND AND GENTLE WITH ME

Okay! Okay. /Definitely/ working with Hecate! Between that and Lord Dionysus reaching out to me tonight, it seems I've got a lot cut out for me to come!

Thinking a bit more these days about doing some pathworking meditations. Maybe working with Hecate? Who's to say.

Remember: sometimes things do not serve you anymore, and that is okay. Sometimes strength comes in its own ways. Your practice ought to be defined by you, not what other people claim your practice is, not what other people believe you're ruled by, not by panic or fingerpointing.

I'm taking a good long break from that occult server (and probably more occult servers as well) and I think it'll do my practice a world of good. Think I oughta go the Hermit route for a bit — or, at least, back to the Temperance I know.

dont forget!

You want your enemies to be demons because you can't bear the thought that it is only wretched human beings who you must bring to the walls.

A vivid, multicolored fractal spiral radiates from the center, with intricate repeating patterns in shades of red, orange, pink, green, and purple. The design forms a mesmerizing, swirling motion. Text says: While falling asleep, the brain seems to enter a unique state of altered consciousness. Throughout history, artists, writers, and inventors have drawn inspiration from this fleeting, dreamlike space.

Just as you start to drift off, your brain might surprise you. Hypnagogia is the strange state between wakefulness and sleep where people see flashes of light, hear voices, or feel like they are falling. 🧵⬇️ (1/2)

Sometimes joy comes in the doing and the living, what can I say.

the era of internalized cringe culture is over. Embrace The Cringe. identify as a cat or a fictional character, pick the weirdest neopronouns you can find and enchant them, turn your self-insert fanfiction into a hypersigil, befriend the spirit of Goku. go apeshit. you will not be stopped.

I've recently had quite a self-discovery and major breakthrough that's upended my understandings of my practice. Currently at the wonderful stage of rediscovery. Some of my best work as a mage is being done in relative silence, which I think is actually quite calming.

Sigils through more code/cryptography options would be wonderful to see, quite frankly. You do tremendous work, thank you so deeply for bringing this to life!

I’m a sucker for a Greek retelling. the Hymn to Dionysus by Natasha Pulley doesn’t disappoint. #booksky

I'm in better touch with my systemspace than I used to be these past few months, too, which is always a good thing.

I managed to make an automatic energetic maintenance spellform recently, so that's extremely neat. I cannot stress enough how convenient it is to have one of those on hand — does take a bit of work weaving the different "steps" of the process together but it's more than worth it in the long run.

Much of my practice is more lowkey nowadays, but it's all in the doing, and I find myself at peace when I chant some of the Orphic Hymns to Lord Dionysus.

This close to publicly debuting another magical spellform I've been working on and testing in private. This one's a fun one with a whole, whole lot of applicability for protection magic and more.

Star, Sun and Fortune also work splendidly for luck workings, I can thoroughly attest to that much.

Side-note, by the way: you can cast tarot cards as spells directly, with the amount of energy they hold. Do you know how many times I’ve used Eight of Wands to speed up my perception of a line going faster in places like the DMV? more times than I can count.
