The Peaceful, Poly, Pagan

It has been a long time since I had the desire that someone would just drill a hole into my head to alleviate the pressure. *sigh* Perhaps a lumbar puncture should be in my future.

Dolt? Cretin? Ignoramus?

void that consumes me….
untethered I fall
to fathom the depths
of my endearing soul

We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country.

This Friday, where will you be?

Thank you! 💜

The image is an old Dr. Seus political comic of a mother wearing an "America First " shirt to her two small children sitting on the arms of the chair. The book she reads has a picture of a wolf and is titled "Adolf the Wolf". There is a swastika on the book binding. Above the picture is the text: "... and the Wolf chewed up the children and spit out their bones... But those were Foreign Children and it really didn't matter."

When they say America First, it is to harken the party of old...

On a background of red, black, and gold embers is a text in white that reads: As I sit here, eyes squinting the tiny, dark screen in my hand into focus, I wonder if anyone can truly fathom how difficult it is to simply string two words together, let alone a sentence. On days like today, where it feels like my skull is trying to strangle the brain within, I am lucky if I can remember my own name.

it's hard to #fathom
pleas for mercy, met with laughter
shouts for justice, met with mocking

the pious minority proclaim their superiority and intellect, the masses see they have neither

do the work that's yours to do
fight, nurture, educate

never let them steal your joy

It’s hard to #fathom
Just how wide the chasm
Between thought and reality
Can grow from naivety…
This cherry picked imagery
And screams of “heretics!”
Due to disagreeing
With scenery of a fantasy
Far removed from our shared reality…
It’s saddening

Like scheming orcas, a pod of sirens had followed my boat until it was submerged in the harsh swell. A siren, her beauty visible even to my water-addled eyes, enveloped me in a bubble of air as I descended, but then cruelly dispersed it. Many a fathom above, the surface shuddered.

RIP Danish poet Halfdan Rasmussen, died this day 2002

"Not the torturer will scare me
Nor the hate and the torture
Nor the barrels of death's rifles nor the shadows on the wall
Nor the nights
When the last star of pain is falling to the ground
But the blind indifference of the merciless world."

Perhaps add this as one of your #5Calls

This is insane. They are going to destroy the entire planet.

The Siritoch could not #fathom the notion of money – it was beyond their comprehension that a man should value gold and silver above food or animals or land or people. Hence they were frequently cheated and cozened, and despised for their lack of acumen.

My hope
Has fallen #fathoms
Down into
Deepest sea

If you
Love yourself
It’s best
You do not follow me

Woman once
Tried rescue
Now bad dreams
Won’t let her be

I’m tortured…
And if you’re smart
You will not
Heed my pleas

But when has love
E’er been “smart?”
Bring wine—
I’ll bring the Brie

Australian newspaper "The Sun-Herald" opinion piece calls it out. American msm, take notes.

I zip around Gabe’s head, tweak his halo, ruffle his hair, then dive to tie his shoelaces together, all while humming the Birdie Song on repeat.
Gabe swats at me. 'I cannot #fathom how one tiny pixie can be so relentlessly annoying!'
I shrug. 'What can I say, Gabe? It's a gift.'

Talk is cheap. What is she going to DO about it?

Extortion is not how one receives a Nobel Peace Prize. Ugh.. he is such a toddler.

Ooohhh... I will have to look for this recipe!

#Witchsky The following photo can be printed, *crossed* out, dribbled with an appropriate oil and herbs (Lucifer powder), folded three times away from you, and then buried at a crossroads. With or without a reading of psalm 109 or a suitable smiting incantation. Happy crossing! XXX

I will have to check this one out!

This was such an area of contention the other day. My FIL's response was "Trump is always posting funny shit." I informed him this wasn't funny, especially when he is missing all over the Constitution.

THE FREE WORLD IS IN AGREEMENT THAT THE TRUMP/VANCE AMBUSH OF ZELENSKY IN THE OVAL OFFICE WILL LEAD TO WAR IN EUROPE. OF COURSE THE U.S. WILL FIGHT ON THE SIDE OF RUSSIA AND ALONGSIDE NORTH KOREA.ARE WE READY FOR AMERICANS TO DIE FOR PUTIN AND RUSSIA? THAT IS WHAT TRUMP HAS WROUGHT. #PROUDBLUE

A horse lived in
My neighborhood
Who always
Left home “strapped”

By wearing sharp horn
On his head
In case
He was attacked

Horn came
From an #emporium
That dealt
In magic hacks

Told him
It’d make him unicorn
It don’t
& that’s a fact

So far he has
Impaled a priest
& stabbed me
In the back

The text is on a black stage, framed by red curtains. The text reads: The puppet master carves and contours his newest two puppets. Both will be adorned in white, blue, and red. He plans to take them on the world stage and peddle his lies. Praying the Emporium of gimcrack baubles and bits is enough to distract the consumerism mindset of the masses, who have somehow become the outliers amid the 1%.

Three wolves walk side by side through a snowy landscape, their fur thick and mixed with shades of gray, brown, and white. Image by David Dirga

The ridgeline marks the divide, an unspoken law etched in earth and instinct. One pack prowls the valley, the other haunts the pines. Their worlds press against the contour of the land, close but never crossing. Not peace. Not fear. Just understanding.
