Winter & early Spring city nature photos. 🥰

1) Garden of the Tuin van Kina museum: ivy in the shape of a witch riding a broomstick

2) Overmeers park: tree that looks like it's laughing and dancing

3) Coyendans park: wall of ancient abbey

4) Zuid park: forsythia tree with a drawing of a grumpy ghost and an arrow pointing to the left

@HeliaXyana As something of a follow-on to the question from @youseeatortoise, I had suspected you embedded spellwork in your art, and I *know* firsthand you put it into your writing. Have you ever had any spells go awry because, for example, your words were heard but the fact that the intentions behind them were supposed to have been attributed to a specific character or subject did not quite make the translation?

Hi #Fedicoven, I'm working on my new "Monster Zine" and making it as some kind of offering to Loki. At least to the version of Loki that lives in my imaginary world, he has been my dreamworld spiritual guide for many years already, and has become a character of many of the stories I imagine and sometimes even write.

So, I might pop in from time to time after all as things get going. I appreciate your patience as I navigate all of this: there are a lot of things on my mind related to the way I'd like to live and the reality of how I should live right now given the choices available.

But enough of that for now. The first newsletter has been sent out to members, and I'd like to share it here as well for anyone interested to read.

"A Treatise on Ascendent Ritual"

This work is participatory. It is demanding of discipline, of belief, of preparation. It highlights shortcomings, shortcuts, and insecurity. The results you achieve are based on the effort you put in: in knowing thyself, in forging the thought patterns that work towards your will, in curating mindfulness and careful attentiveness. This is magick: this is what makes it real.

There is an industry, a very profitable one, that would like you to believe that magick just happens for a price. That if only you pay the right price, you can bypass the work of magick. They frame the inner work required as healing, but false healing: healing that doesn’t require you to look inward too deeply, healing that looks like lush palm trees and swimming pools and sound baths, healing that comes automatically from hearing the right frequency, taking the right substance, or buying the right clothing. There are practitioners that will take your money and tell you that all you need to do to manifest prosperity is to buy their book, their workshop, their jewelry, their incense, their candles. To outsource your power to them. Their will is not teaching or guidance, because they are the new priesthood: interpreting energy and doctrine for you in the ways that benefit them.

Today's holds pickup at the library was *chefkiss*.

Remember, most US libraries are in a constant fight for survival. Using them increases their chances of getting funding! Libraries aren't just quiet places for reading, there's usually SO MUCH on offer. action.everylibrary.org/get_to

Here's today's book haul - the first of these books was ordered for the collection because I specifically requested it. You can do that!
