Shadows dance in bloodclotted stains, violent swirls in acidic rain, then only my tears know my pain

A beautiful chant I came across. I hope you'll enjoy it.

Ps. Beautiful work on these posted chants.
Brightest blessings.
Your view of culture is incredibly purist. The argument is circular. We will never see eye to eye because I happen to just not get people who cannot adapt certain things just because they do not fall into the specific world view, it is overly narrow…
Firstly I have no issue with reading any texts at all I am student in all aspects and love to learn new things. So I would not turn down reading anything that is suggested.
"And I am sorry, but this is a cop out, the whole "modern world" argument j…
Okay I am only stepping in here because you said something that is just ignorant.
Note I know nothing of Norse Religion and tradition.
Thorsmadr. Your last statement implies that Traditions remain static and they do not adapt, change or god forbid…
Become a Catholic, and confess your sins, I've been told this is a great way.:)
Anyway you need to deal with your past, if you don't, then you will be held back. Confront your dark self and grow, or try deny it and supress it and become stagnant. I…
I have no idea why you brought up what hour of the morning it is?
ok..an answer to your god and goddess....there r hundreds to choose from...i found mine by going a reniassance festival...dont try to push yourself into them..when the time is right u will get your calling...mine r egyptian....i saw isis and i swear…

- About Me:
- I am a University student, currently studying English Lit and Art history. I'm currently also in my third year.
I am a vegetarian, goth, feminist, artist,poet.
I have completed my aforementioned short story and will be submitting it for the Deon Hofmeyer prize I'm holding my thumbs and breaking my legs:)
I am a collector of c.d's, vinyls, ornaments, crystals, herbs, jewelery,books, scented candles, shells, dreamcatchers, feathers and knives.
My guides are Hekate and Anpu and I work very closely with them and my animal guides.
I am in a happy relationship with my wonderful boyfriend whom I will refer to as Darkstar. He is my guiding light, my hidden dream, my fantasy, my reality, my lighter half, my joy, my best friend and I will always be grateful for having him in my life.
I have a new addition to my animal family: a bearded dragon, his name is Xorne and he is a cutie. Further Willow and Marmalade are my cats and I have just recently said goodbye to Oliver. Pixie(toy pom), Tiger(boerboel), Domino(collie/lab) and Jesse(collie) are my dogs. Dom and Jes are two black dogs who came into my life, shortly before I discovered Hekate was calling to me in the depths of my dreams.
Dido(Dom's sis), Frankie and Sylvester are my mothers animals but I love them just as dearly as I love my own.
I love to dress up- hey I'm a goth aren't I?
I work with herbs; making potions, incense mixes, pouches etc and I am currently learning herbalism in the healing capacity.
My favourite divinatory tool is the tarot and I possess a few decks of both Tarot and Oracle cards.
I am learning how to read runes.
I love to learn, I will always be learning or a student and am working to be a teacher both in the magical and mundane categories.

Nightshade
1.Harm none intentionally
2.Everything strives to create balance,sometimes the fox catches the hare, sometimes the hare gets away
3.Energy can’t be destroyed or created only transformed
4.We all belong to an intricate web that unites us all ( ecosystem/the cosmos)
5.Karma (every action has an opposite and equal reaction)
6.Macrocosm equals microcosm (as above so below)
7.Evolution is inevitable (strive for self knowledge and inner peace as learning is the only way to spiritually and mentally evolve)
8.You can’t be adept at everything (the spider cant learn to fly before its grown wings so develop techniques and perfect them)
9.Never lose ability to play (lioness with her cubs, dogs, cats etc.)
10.Shed outworn skin to make way for the new (spiders snakes, winter fur)
11.Study nature and apply her secrets to magic if relevant
12.Spells may be cast for any needs and wants so long as they aren’t illegal or intentionally harmful
13.All creatures, from the smallest ant to the largest whale, deserve respect
These are my personal rules, that I have applied to my craft. :)

Spring is emerging slowly
The signs of spring are emerging in the depths of winter.
While the bitterly cold wind still bites the bones and the nights consist of Hot water bottles and 4 layers of blankets, signs of lengthening days are sprouting.
The grass that was dead and brown is giving way to small blades of grass popping up around here and there, there are also patches of grass emerging in the corners.
The mulberry is getting spurts where ne

Just another reason to hate my country
The sheer lack of respect for animals and nature is astounding.
There is a cat stuck at the top of our willow tree it is at least 10- 15 meters high. we do not have a ladder high enough.
The SPCA came and couldn't help they told us to leave the cat till tomorrow and then call Fire department.
It is the middle of winter and the wind is howling, the cat is sitting in a precarious position in between our yard and our neigh

voices curling at me ear

Who is this Crazy Nightshade person?
Well....

I have info on my page but this will maybe give a little bit more enlightenment to others- my friends especially:)
I am 21, my birthday is on the 22 April and therefore I am a Taurus. I am stubborn, I am loyal, I am friendly, I am a sweet tooth, I love food, I am sarcastic, I am witty (well I'd like to think so:), I have an awful temper (which I have been working on), I am curious and I love my creature comforts.

Goodbye ol kit
You were broken when found
a black scratch in space
My comfort, my joy, my mischief maker
liquid stealth
A quaking whine
The earth can no longer contain spirit
Be held in the abyss of Anpu
My panther soul
My cat Oliver is being put down, he has kidney stones and nothing works. He is in excrutiating pain. He will be reunited with his brother snowball. both cats were found abandoned with eyes superglued shut. They were very young a
