This is the last time I go into the woods without occult jewelry. Apparently my new agey bracelet with crystals on it isn't sufficient "don't talk to me about immigrant hate" signaling. But, then, talking about my immigrant relatives wasn't enough, either, so who knows?

Tow Truck Driver: [Evangelical signaling] My family has a family Bible from the 1800s! They were really different back then.

Me: Hm?

Tow Truck Driver: There's this thing in the beginning that says what it's about.

Me: That would have been a King James Bible, right?

Tow Truck Driver: I... ... Do you like Adam Sandler movies?

My partner and I divide labor evenly when our car breaks down in the middle of nowhere. He deals with the insurance company. I talk about theology with the tow truck driver.

Is there some kind of requirement that tow truck drivers on the West Coast have to be fundamentalist Christians? So far, I'm 2 for 2.

I think I'm going to make mastodon my snarking and griping platform. That's what this thing is supposed to be for, anyway, isn't it?

#introduction Hey Mastodon! I'm one of the #witchblr refugees. I'm a traditional-ish #witch, #writer, diviner, and teacher. I'm oathbound to #odin. #astrology and #tarot are at the center of my craft. I'm best known for my past life readings on tumblr (beamagical). I'd love to do some readings here, but 500 characters... ... ... We'll see!

Hey friends! So, my friend @beathewitch is teaching a #Lunar #Astrology class on Discord, starting next week. It's geared for beginners and focuses on #mindfulness and journaling as a means of self-discovery.

It's just five bucks, so even broke witches like me can access it 😄

Anyway! I don't normally do plugs on here, but Bea's really cool and I'm stoked for this class.

Registration is Open for Transiting the Moon: A 28-Day Journey through the Zodiac

In this class, we will spend a lunar month journeying with the moon as it moves through the zodiac, learning about each sign and our personal relationship with it through journaling exercises and comparing notes with fellow-travelers in a private Discord server.

Reading about witch trials in the Early Modern period. Quite interesting.

Apparently, the Catholic Church was very conflicted about witches. The official canon *often* held that #witchcraft was not #supernatural, not an #heresy, merely an error or con, and did not deserve to be pursued.

This belief was however often not shared by local abbots, bishops and later Protestants.

The #Inquisition investigated #witchcraft trials and declared them illegal.

Still, witches got burnt.
