Old enemies of Russian tyranny - Anarcho-mystics, who tried to assassinate Stalin with astral attacks back in 1930s, has returned. Check our posts for mental attacks against Putin's Russia. Consider joining - we spread our techniques freely. Anyone can turn his mind into a weapon.

A new PBS documentary, “Teilhard: Visionary Scientist,” premiered this month. Paleontologist, theologian, and mystic Pierre Teilhard de Chardin tried to be a faithful son of the Church and a faithful scientist as he brought both those together. Challenged during his life (and after), refused permission to publish, rehabilitated by recent popes.
Additional info - incident took place 3.45 km from target zone. This time potential has realized in a good one.Target information, time marker, codes, key words etc - in a previous posts. We will try to do our best in making these attacks more potent and accurate in the future. People in a tyranny never sleep peacefully. #anarchism#russia#moscow#paranormal#mysticism#rebel#SlavaUkraini
Hoping to get back into the crafting groove soon - this winter has been rough. Feeling a bit better. My goal is to have enough materials to do a craft show this fall, for the holiday season. Don't know if I'll make it, but I'm going to try, lol.
Here's one that I have in stock, and materials for one or two more. Of course, the fabric can be any design or main color. Just let me know!
Welcome to my recently developed website designed as a philosophical and therapeutic project. I aimed to recreate and redefine my Catholic faith. However, by adding rich allegory, universal insights, and a monastic aesthetic, I ended up creating a "new" religious experience.
Mary of Egypt reportedly converted to Christianity during a pilgrimage to Jerusalem. One of the earliest pilgrim accounts of Jerusalem is that left behind by a Roman woman named Egeria: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egeria_(pilgrim)
An exact contemporary of Heloise, but in Germany, Hildegard of Bingen (d. 1179) dealt with chronic illness her entire life. She joined a nunnery as a child, eventually becoming an abbess, saw visions which were declared to be divine revelation by the pope. She wrote a theology of #mysticism, music, and scientific texts. She preached publicly, & exchanged letters with popes and rulers. In 2012 she was named a Doctor of the (Roman Catholic) Church. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hildegard_of_Bingen #WomensHistoryMonth

"We tend to think about non-human intelligences in two distinct categories which we label 'scientific' and 'supernatural.' ... But the very moment we are compelled to recognize a creature in either class as real, the distinction begins to get blurred."
I've been working on some graphics for new shadow box manifesting sets, in the theme of love, of course, since valentines day is approaching. Here's what I have so far...
These graphics will be printed on paperboard and glued into the shadow box, similar to the Fortune test design. These will also come with a plaster LOVERS tarot.
In the "Divine Comedy: Paradiso," Dante sees the blessed souls in Heaven arranged in the shape of an immense white rose that shines with God's light. The queen of the rose is the Virgin Mary, who in Catholic symbolism is often represented by a rose herself.

Advantage of being on a server with a glitch.soc style fork: I can make just TWO long posts instead of a gazillion! :ablobcatnodmeltcry:

Paintings done in 2016 for an art theory class in grad school, in response to the dadaist Hugo Balls' "Tenderenda der Phantast." It's, uhhhh. It sure is a book! (Look, you either jive with Dadaism or you don't and if I tell you that there is no "page" I can link you explaining about the book because it is that obscure in the grand scheme of things--the best I can do is a World Cat entry: https://search.worldcat.org/title/50271954 )
I drew all of these on tracing paper w/ non-photo blue pencil, then I inked and painted the back of these papers like cels. Each one was then glued onto a painted canvas where I basically just painted the background according to the subject. (So the first one looks cleaner due to the solemnity, the second one looks chaotic due to the subject matter, etc.) Really, I just wanted to imitate cel painting :P That part didn't work out but I like the accidental craft effect. Matches the movement, after all. :ai_holy:
All the paintings are based on strict descriptions directly from the book, with added context either pertaining to Ball or references to other existing things, past or present. I think I tried to aim for a painting per chapter but I can't remember anymore. There's six and here are the first four:
The Violet-Faced Seer, who uses a magnifying glass to trick laypeople (with my own response to my #1 awful cult of all time)
Mulche-Mulche, the Mother of Dada, with her Mister Fetus and the "Birth of Dada" in the form of a "little Jew" (aka Tristan Tzara) (yes, you read that right, don't blame me lmao)
Johann the Hobbyhorse (whose origin are metaphors, and referenced from Ball's stepdaughter Annemarie who he adored very much, you can still fight me on this)
Dagny, the bride to a fish, who knew of fishmaking (reference to Emmy, Ball's wife, who was good with fishes, plus Dagny was her pseudonym)
A renew and reuse project that was an old wall ornament. It has been updated to a more mystical and colorful theme from the lame store bought design it had originally.
I designed the board for this & had a local screen printer do them for me on cotton canvas napkins. I then designed & sewed the pouches & backing.
I have now realized now that I don't need the chits I had originally envisioned. Instead I can print half page copies of the graphics and let the user fill in the rolls with a pen or pencil, as well as write the interpretations down.
I am rather fond of these two sets. The colors came out really well. I decided to offer a choice of "sidekicks" for the set, because some people might not be comfortable with the female figurine. But everybody know the "wise old owl" motif - and wisdom is something we all need to manifest, lol.
These are prayer / manifesting ritual items for finding or enhancing your parnasah, which is your career or how you make a living.
The thing people get wrong about The Force is that it's not a tool to be used. You can't say "The Force isn't Light or Dark, the intentions of the wielder make it so." Well, you can but you'd still be wrong.
We identify people as being sensitive to The Force for a reason. Because the Force is alive. The Cosmic Force that surrounds us. The Living Force which binds us together. Why else do you think the Force can have a Will if it's just some inert object or power to be manipulated by our Will?
Remember, the phrase goes "The Force is my Ally, and a powerful ally It is." Not my Tool. Not my Weapon. My Ally. You cannot be an Ally to something inert.
Chris Gosden's engaging and vividly colourful storytelling style brings to life the history of all things occult, pagan and witchy from ancient cave art to modern day witchcraft in a way that is deeply engrossing and enjoyable. #witchcraft#mysticism
Saint Hildegard of Bingen (1098 - 1179) was a German Benedictine abbess, also known as a writer, composer, philosopher, physician, and mystic. She founded scientific natural history in Germany. Hildegard is venerated as a patron saint of writers and musicians. #TempleThursday
The ancientJewish mysticism of Kabbalah, which finds deep meaning in sequences of letters and numbers, resonates in generative #AI like #ChatGPT, robots and DNA coding.
“Like the golem, robots, androids and even AI are powered with recombinations of elemental units. Instead of Hebrew letters, the units are ones and zeros. In both instances, the specific permutation makes all the difference.”
I once again recently wiped away the Mandala of my Practice. As a #wizard I think this sort of non-attachment to the fruits of my intellect and spirit are important. By that same token, I have been advised along my journey to "pick something and perfect it" by individuals who I consider wiser than myself.
Navigating life is challenging. I believe that when we crystallize our Identity we do ourselves a disservice. We become inflexible, and would sooner destroy ourselves than transform into that which is other than our presentation of selfdom. This idea came from a lecture by a Rabbi Kook, but I later read it more succinctly described in Dune Messiah.
No matter what cosmology or ontology I commit to, the method is still based on #mysticism and direct experience. My highest interest is always Divine Union. The Right Hand Path suggests I do this through Devotion. The Left Hand Path suggests I do this through Symbiosis. I had to tread both paths in order to truly understand what these things meant. One side tends to turn people into rigid dogmatics, while the other tends to turn people into unhinged egomaniacs.
#Magick is hard. Life is hard. I've long believed that Magick is Life and Life is Magick. Experience has led me to believe that. Wiping away the Mandala of Practice doesn't change the Wisdom Earned. I am the Artist and I am the Canvas. Experience provides new shades of color for me to apply in each preceding project. Practice is how you learn to change the pain of living into ecstatic beauty.
Alt Text isn't saving for some reason. Description: a towering Colossus walks through a barren valley. Behind it is an illuminated night sky filled with stars and planets. You cannot tell simply by looking if this entity is a machine or encased in some sort of armor.
