Speaking of amateur welding - guess who focused on making a nice weld and forgot to pay any attention to where he was welding?

So I tack on the hinges, test fit the gate, hooray, it swings. Seam weld the first side, look down, oops, pile of dry oak leaves which is now on fire.

Sprint to the house, fetch extinguisher, put it out, wet all the nearby leaves in case of embers, rake up, etc.

[No tedious fire safety whinging please. I learnt from my mistake 😜]

Obligatory disclaimer: I am not a Satanist, I don't personally believe in Satan's existence except in so far as he is an #egregore created by the Christofascist Patriarchy.

I put fire over my eyes to avoid triggering everyone who needs an Eye Contact CW. Also because #Fire is the element I most heavily associate with, as a Grand Fire Trine.

The #pentagram on my forehead is right side up which means it's "good" (in a good/evil dualism common to Western magic, see the writings of Elphias Levi for details), I reject this dualism however. For me it is protective, which is good for me, bad for those who want to harm me, #relativism, etc.

I really liked the #selfie, didn't want to trigger Fedi with EC, and wanted to express my #occult nature. (Okay, I wanted to evoke the #Satanist imagery to ruffle feathers while not exactly, making me technically correct, the best kind 😜)
