I’m in love and getting married soon! My sister threw me a bridal shower, and she intentionally put “Mrs and Mr” on all of the signage instead of “Mr and Mrs” which is (saldy) the default. I thought it was a cute point, so now I made all of our wedding signage have me first as well.

So yeah, any woman getting married to a man, I think putting yourself first with language is a cool thing we can do now as a contrast to us be married off as property.

But anyway I’m VERY EXCITED. I LOVE LOVE. GO ME!!

I have a meeting that I set up (okay, kind of blackmailed my way into) with my high school abuser.

He was 38. I was 16 when he started grooming me. He was my boss and knew I was a vulnerable youth.

I have found myself living back in my hometown for the past year. I dread running into him. Every time I see someone who might be him my stomach drops, my heart races, and I get a rush of adrenaline.

I’m tired of it hanging over me. I told him we’re getting this out one way or another and that he had 24 hours to respond or I would take him down.

We are meeting tomorrow. I am taking someone along for safety.

I have known for so long that I would need to do this someday. But now I just don’t even know what to say to him. I really just want to listen. I want to know what this was from his perspective. I want to know what went on behind the scenes that everyone “protected” me from.

I don’t know if I want an apology. I want an EXPLANATION because it’s impacted me all these years. And I’m 38 this year and I just CAN’T understand.

And I want to yell at him and belittle him just a little and ask what the actual fuck is wrong with him. I want to make him DEEPLY, DEEPLY UNCOMFORTABLE and watch him squirm.

Anyway. This just felt like the place I wanted to send this out into the universe. Please send me courage and strength.

And if you have any suggestions for amulet friends to take along or protective/veiling beforehand please let me know. And if you have more mundane tips on what to ask or talk about or say please let me know. I doubt I will get or even want this opportunity again. I need to get it all out there.

This man was being emotionally abusive and just malicious to a teenager that I know (yes court and legal stuff got appropriately involved).

So I hexed him. He has since been baker acted twice, arrested once for being naked in public, and has lost his career.

Did I go too far? I despise this person.

Also known as a Holmegaard "talking bottle" - A chamber above, a chamber below, a column each for the four directions and a central wormhole in between, all connected and yet separated by thin panes of glass 🥹 I'm EXTREMELY excited about this bottle. It came with red dyed water in it, which is traditionally used to highlight the design if it's not being used to store schnapps. The name Klukflaske or kluk kluk is Danish onomotopoeia for the clucking/glugging sound it makes when poured.

:: edit:: there are no specific historical magic ties to this type of bottle that I'm aware of, aside from the fact that it came from a dead woman's house, and the above/below/directions chambers is just what I see as far as how I'm going to use it in spellwork. Do with that info what you will! It's pretty damn magical to me though.

::Edit 2:: I also just learned that the company that made these vessels was founded by a woman in 1825! Henriette Holmegaard! Founder of Holmegaard Glassworks! One of Denmark's first female business leaders! Check it out!

I kept it; it's on my altar. I want to do a "blessing way" type ceremony on my husband 6 month survival day.

Hi sisters and siblings,

I was blessed with a 5 leaved clover today. I know they can be used for darker magic and hidden rituals. My tarot cards also told me that it's a powerful dark magical object. So my question would be what to do with it besides pressing and drying it.

Any suggestions, guidance, dvise or warnings are welcome.

May lady Freya help you with your upcoming spells and rituals.

I just need to know it's going to be ok. I knew this would happen but it still isn't easy. Been trying to keep myself centered and calm but damn does it get difficult...

If anyone has advice I'd love to hear it. How long does the pain last?
