Quick spell from my grandma that was passed onto her from her mum and however many generations…

Lost something?

Stick a pin in your sofa and it’ll return to you.

Why does this shit work? No clue, fam. But mum and grandma swear by it and I’ll be damned if it didn’t work for me today

Animist Wishing Well Shrine

Create your own magical wishing well by creating a natural landscape with a water feature. Here I have a simple ceramic bowl filled with a little water, surrounded by living succulents. Craft it to be pleasing to the senses so that any Nature spirit would love to dwell there. 

Your wishing well can be very simple, perhaps nothing more than a small bowl of water and a few acorns or stones you found in the park. Or it can be more elaborate and decorated.

Call your friends, allies, and beings of power who have agreed to work with you to dwell in the wishing well shrine. Or, make a deal with a new spirit to dwell in your wishing well altar and grant your wishes.

The coins you add to the fountain are payment to the spirit world for your wishes to be granted.

To make a wish, add a coin to the water and say your wish. Use the terminology and symbolism your spirit allies expect. Perhaps the more the coin is worth, the more work they will do for you.

You can also add other gifts such as jewelry (note the red bracelet above).

If you like making decorative scenes like me, why not a wishing well marker with tally marks for every wish that comes true.

When the fountain water needs to be changed or when the bowl becomes too full, move the gifts to a permanent jar. These things no longer belong to you; you hold on to them for the spirit world.

Remember not to be greedy. Spirits can only work so hard and so fast. Moderate your wishes depending on what your spirit allie(s) can accomplish.

Do you think Mary Magdalene was in love with Jesus as God or as a man?

Neither.

I think she loved the tousle-haired Rabbi Yeshua, this man from nowhere Judea with the dark eyes and the easy smile, who stood outside the city gates and preached to crowds. I think she loved the prophet who was also divine, the Son of God who got pebbles in his sandals while walking and had to lean on Peter’s shoulder to scrape them out. He could walk into the marketplace and draw every eye, open his mouth and speak words that burned the air, but he also told terrible jokes that made Judas scoff and pelt him with olives.

But in love? No. I think Mary Magdalene loved Jesus the way all the other disciples loved him—in a way that was platonic and difficult to describe; it was a love that made all other loves seem—not worse, but narrower, a
little myopic. As though they were missing a piece, falling short of some whole they could only glimpse, and only around him.

Later, after everything, they’ll try to talk about it among themselves. But the words won’t come, won’t sit right, and they keep circling back to, it was like a dream, like being wine-drunk and warm for three years and then waking up the next morning cold, it was something, we’re not sure what but

it certainly was something.

#you guys can’t talk me out of a profound divine love that leaves romantic sexual familial and friendly love in the dust#we’re imitators of something bigger and more#and we’re good imitators what we make is beautiful#but it’s still just imitation

Matthew 11:19 is literally my favorite: “The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Here is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.’ But wisdom is proved right by her deeds.”

i love how my savior was always wasted and munching on something. Big Mood.
