Just handed in a 30 pages long thing that separated me from finally writing my master thesis. Inspiration for this specific thing never quite hit, and now I feel awfully drained. What are feelings? What is writing? I feel fucking empty. I'll try again tomorrow.

#Tarot underneath/shadow card of evening: Son of Cups.

In order to protect and maintain your peace of mind you need to move on. Imagine something better then work to manifest it. Move towards peace.

#Tarot card of evening: Five of Swords.

Is it worth it? Probably not, so you may be better off just stepping back. This is not the hill to die on. Let them die on that hill. Let them have their win and move on to better things.

One of the plates from the book whose cover i posted yesterday, this Albert von Keller painting shows a witch in a hypnotic trance, supposedly to negate pain. Plate is approx. 9x13 inches.

The artist was criticised for showing a teenager and in the wrong historical costume, but his goal was merely painting the trance (and, originally, a bare-breasted woman).

Iteration Four - Discordance

We are not the people this world has made us. We are so much more, but the truth of us is buried in illusions, in lies that we have been told so many times that our belief has made them akin to truth. We are deceived, right down to the core of our beings. We are false. And in the dark of night, on the edge of sleep and wake, where we sometimes sense the vastness of the truth underlying everything…

…we feel it. And we despair.

A few hand tattoos from past years, earned in ceremony for all recipients. The third photo is my own left hand, which now contains more embeddings, that image was taken I believe right after finishing the middle finger sigil.

I suppose though I've been floating around Fedi in one form or another I should do an #Introduction post once again.

For those of you who I have yet to meet, hello! I am Siin. I am an animist witch embedded in the ecosystem now called the Mojave desert, stewarding this land. One of my jobs is to perform sacred tattoos for those with whom I am in appropriate relation. I do many things, but these are primary.

I also write in depth about magickal topics on my website: sigillosacro.com.

For those of you who are familiar to me: I hope you're okay with me hopping back into this space! The ActivityPub instance connected to my website lacks features that are critical, I've learned, to interacting wholly in this space. This, and that we're entering a more isolating season, has me seeking out the feeling of shared Practice here once again.

Looking forward to being present here once again for another season!

I did not congratulate my mother for Mother's day. She is a narcissist and uses this day for toxic self-presentation. Plus, she never was a proper parent to me.

... the repercussions are quite toxic as well.

Why do mothers need this celebration? I want to have a baby too, but not to celebrate myself. I just want to have it.
