  1. A quotation from Ingersoll

    The fact is, very few men are right in everything. Great virtues may draw attention from defects, but they cannot sanctify them. A pebble surrounded by diamonds remains a common stone, and a diamond surrounded by pebbles is still a gem. No one should attempt to refute an argument by pronouncing the name of some man, unless he is willing to adopt all the ideas and beliefs of that man. It is better to give reasons and facts than names. An argument should not depend for its force upon the name of its author. Facts need no pedigree, logic has no heraldry, and the living should not awed by the mistakes of the dead.

    Robert Green Ingersoll (1833-1899) American lawyer, freethinker, orator
    Lecture (1881-05-01) “The Great Infidels,” Booth’s Theater, New York

    The mound rose before me, green and silent beneath a storm-dark sky. Ancient. Patient. Waiting. Read full poem by clicking 🔗🖤 - Kandi

  3. Half Shadow, Half Hymn

    I belong to the night— to the corridors where ghosts grow honest, where they shed the polite lie of absence and breathe again through memory’s ribs. Where ancestors press their mouths to my ear, whispering in bone-language, where the veil hangs in tatters— not a barrier, but a dare. Love lives here. Even after the burial. Even after the last goodbye forgets its own echo. I have felt the universe inhale— a slow, cosmic breath beneath the skin of thought, binary bones […]

  4. #FinalDestination is one of my favorite #franchises. Probably because every #death is more #stupid and #exaggerated than the one before.

    #Bloodlines changes the typical #preminition where someone sees their own death for seeing that #ancestors death.

    I #love it! I just disliked that they removed the rule that if someone gives birth the death has to restart the killing order.

  5. tonight i am honouring my ancestors, & in particular tante (aunt) grarda, my granddad's sister, who lived her whole adult life in an asylum like this. i don't know why.

    #GifsArtidote:
    i am going back home for #yuletide in a few weeks, & i plan to visit my family ancestors graves & maybe the asylum. i think it's still an asylum today, so i want to pay my aunty respect & see if they have any information about her. i never met her 😪, but right now i can so deeply relate to her, cause i am grateful i live today. sofar i haven't been sectioned yet, thank fuck. that's why i am fighting authority today, for my self & my family, on both sides, who have suffered mental illness & trauma like hell for generations.

  6. A #CradleCatholic. As a wee lad, I did all the stuff - Baptism, First Communion, Confirmation. I was born here all my life. When I was around four years old, the church kicked out my mom and, by extension, my family. An #ExcludedCatholic? I explored other practices and faiths, #meditation, #yoga, #Buddhism, and all the things. I wanted to not convert to a religion or practice that I had not been born to or wasn't otherwise ancestrally connected. A deep dive into Protestant fellowships lead to immersion into the #EarlyChurch Fathers and early #ChurchHistory. Entering the #OrthodoxChurch, I lived in several monasteries and wandered around the US like the guy in Way of a Pilgrim. I was ultimately drawn to #Theosis and the #PrayerOfTheHeart, sometimes called the #JesusPrayer. Long story short, decades later, a pandemic, and a few ends of the world, here I am. The #2024Election US has me wondering about US Christianities that support social actions and movements that contradict the teachings of Jesus. Shouldn't Christ's Gospel teachings be central?

  7. Pine cones never cease to amaze me. They go through seemingly endless transformations, handling each of their many stages of change and growth with such grace. Truly an inspiration.

    I saw this one yesterday when I went #foraging for #pineneedles. The sun highlighted it for me, a picture-perfect moment despite the strong wind! The snow we got is finally melting away. It feels like spring is just around the corner with how everything's starting to thaw. It's been a strange, heavy winter this time around. Sometimes we need help seeing and pivoting our attention accordingly. I know #witchcraft is seasonal for others too, as it is for me.

    The colours almost remind me of a mango. Bright and shining. 🥭

    As for the #pine needles, I made jelly with them, adding in #homemade tangerine 🍊 jam for their immune boosting effects. Aside from The Virus, there's a lot of flus and other such nasties going about, and while we still mask, it doesn't hurt to be cautious.

    I place great trust in my #plantmedicine. Continuing #herbalism the way my #Ancestors have been practicing it is such a blessing. It's what inspired me to start creating content online in the first place, wanting to share the joy and love I have for my culture and to help foreigners approach #hellenicpolytheism and #greekculture respectfully and in an educated manner.

    I also wanted to take a moment to thank those of you who take a moment to interact with my posts here! It's encouraging me to share more.
