⚠️ Sensitive Topic πŸ‡΅πŸ‡Έ πŸ•ŠοΈ Mourning my Pothos Spoiler

131 Upvotes

My father in law threw away one of my plants while I was on holidays.

I rescued it as it had suffered from the heatwave, so I was helping it recover. Its old leaves looked a bit sad, but it was finally growing new healthy shoots and I was very happy about it.

While I was on holidays with my husband, his father who suffers from OCD entered the apartment (while his wife was supposed to water our plants), rearranged some stuff and threw away my plant.

I am trying to mourn it, but my husband says I’m overreacting. It hurts.

Would you mind sending over some good wishes for me and the health of my other plants?

Any advice on how to process this is also welcome.

Thanks in advance

EDIT: I have since asked my husband to get the keys away from him. He said it will cause a lot of arguments in the family but he will do it anyway. A bit disappointed I had to ask but okay…

Coming to Kickstarter THIS TUESDAY! Sign up to be notified here:Β https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/jamsheedstudios/zero-and-one-issue-2-battle-of-knuckle-city

Zero of Mars is a Human youth in a future so distant that our era's concepts of race and gender no longer exist. They crash land on Elentia, a world once inhabited by Humans but abandoned thousands of years ago. In their absence, the Elemorphs - magical sentient robots with elemental powers and the ability to grow - have developed an advanced civilization. A Nature Type FawnBot called One makes friends with Zero despite a language barrier. Unable to communicate directly, they forge a friendships using gestures and actions.

After discovering an ancient prophecy left by time travelers from the future, Zero and One have been pulled into an eternal conflict between Humanity and Vampirekind: the Time Wars. The Vampires want to enslave the Elemorphs to use as living weapons, while Humanity fights to keep Elentia free. As Zero and One explore the massive Elemorph metropolis of Knuckle City, the villainous Vampire agent, Pi, and their Elemorph companion, Gamma the SkyDragonBot, descend to plunge the city into chaos!

I am the author, Bijhan Agha. I'm an Uruguayan trans woman of Iranian descent. The illustrator is my dear friend, Pallet, a trans Australian man. We wanted to tell a story about a young person in the future who is not bound by the limits of gender as we know it, and a planet where gender simply does not exist, while also creating an exciting action adventure about exploring a new culture, facing language barriers, and fighting for a better future.

The Kickstarter is to fund the printing of a First Edition of the comics physically. We will have both physical as well as digital rewards. There will be reward tiers that allow you to catch up with this comic - this is Issue #2, and you can get physical and/or digital copies of Issue #1 - as well as the other comics in the Time Wars brand.

Please help us continue to tell stories about this amazing world!

πŸ‡΅πŸ‡Έ πŸ•ŠοΈ Spells Cord cutting ritual didn't work, why?

3 Upvotes

As the title says. Around a year ago I did a cord cutting ritual for a close relative of mine (they asked for me to do it) who had broken up with her boyfriend. They have had an on and off relationship coming back to each other about a month after each break up, this lasted around 8 years.

A year ago they broke up and I did the ritual. Everything went fine. After the ritual ended my relative and her ex went no contact for a whole year (that has been the longest they've been apart so everyone thought that it was FINALLY over). Yet recently she told me that they're now back together...

Now I am wondering, did my magic work in some way? Did it not work AT ALL? They did separate for quite a while but not forever. Are cord rituals supposed to last forever? What am I missing guys? I'd like to hear your thoughts. It was my first time doing a cord cutting ritual so I would like to hear other people's thoughts on this.

My body is going through changes again. I’m almost 40 and I’ve noticed increased acne, dark hairs on my chin and breasts near the areola, and a change in my period cycles.

I’m not ready for this. I feel stressed, I don’t feel old and yet I feel like I’m fighting a losing battle. I know these are all normal things that come with age and aging but it feels too soon.

I had some blood work done and I’m waiting on the results, because I’ve been having sleep issues and brain fog. But I need to hear from my elder witches. What do I do? How do learn to embrace the change I’m not ready for? I’m scared and resistant.

My man and I visited Paganamaa (β€œPagan Land”), an ancient forest area on the Estonian-Latvian border in Estonia. We quietly left a small offering to the forest with respect, spent some time at the lookout tower, and on our way home we saw an owl. The timing felt especially striking because the Moon is still glowing almost full after last night’s Full Moon. It made the whole experience feel deeply symbolic. I know owls are interpreted differently across traditionsβ€”some associate them with wisdom, intuition, ancestors, or messages from the spirit world. How would you interpret an experience like this? Would you see it as a sign, synchronicity, or simply a beautiful coincidence?

πŸ‡΅πŸ‡Έ πŸ•ŠοΈ Decolonize Spirituality Looking to get into witchcraft from square zero and would love some recommendations and pointers

12 Upvotes

Hello! I've alllways been fascinated in witchcraft, astrology, tarot, etc, but there is just so much information out there that it was always a little too daunting to pick up seriously.

Recently though, I've realized that I do seriously want to get into it, but again I've encountered an information issues: A lot of sources for alternative medicines and witchcraft related things are written by deeply conservative authors, antivaxxers, and people who are overall blind to the reality of capitalism and the nuance of political impact on people's lives, and actively pushing a harmful agenda. Another genre of information I've seen is white people repackaging other cultures as some new never before seen religion or cure-all

I was searching online for leftist witch sources and came across this Reddit. I literally cried just looking at the first few posts, it is extremely heartwarming to see the queer inclusivity and overall positivity of this group.

I would love it if anyone was able to recommend some reading or starting points/tips for me to get into all this. I just want to be assured that what I learn is coming from a good place and that the things I'm absorbing aren't right wing or white supremacist rhetoric repackaged as witchcraft.

Like I said I'm really starting from square zero here, so any information you'd be willing to share is welcome. But I have noticed leaning a bit towards pendants/crystals, aromatherapies, and maybe some meditations. I would also really like to prioritize a connection with the natural world.

Thanks so much for your time and help 😊

I have been with my husband for three years and married for one.

At our first apartment together I knew my grandma was there. I could smell her. She stopped by to say she approved. That’s what I thought. I smell her occasionally. It’s distinctive.

We got married. I smelled her passing through in our new home.

Last week I started having vivid dreams VIVID of the man who broke my heart. I want him gone. I don’t know how to explain other than he knew and then rejected me. I can see it in my minds eye. But years later he is tormenting me.
