  1. ooooooo love this love this. had to admit i was scanning across the altar going "yay" at everything and then got to CRAB!!! yay crab!!!

    i have a telluric runes deck (peace to this artist Lunaria Gold, i hope they are healing well) that has ended up being my primary way of divining with runes. Love that it pairs a mineral and an herb with each rune. ![media-1]

    i have some wood runes… somewhere… but they are hiding rn. i am sure i thought i was putting them somewhere obvious and helpful when i was unpacking from my own move three or so years ago, but past me and future me are not aligned on what place that might be.

  6. You know… after being involved in occultism since I was 10, weird has gotten… well, boring. All occultists seem to be the same, and many of the ones I knew in high school are still exactly like they were in high school. Weird is so normalized, it’s, well… normal. I’m bored to tears with occultism. Like, so fucking bored with it. If I see another faux magic cipher that feels like a cipher but is really someone who got high during a ritual and just sketched out their trip, magical sigils created through Austin Spare’s substitution technique inside a circle with Theban or the Malachim language around that circle or any other basic ass geometric shape on a page with bones and skeletons, I will fucking scream. My first formal grimoire that I kept in high school had scripts written in the Malachim alphabet. That was high school! The runes of Elder Futhark always felt dissonant and ominous to me, so I never messed with that. I only use systems that are resonant with me, which, at the moment, are systems I’ve created myself.

    It’s like, “Oh, another deer skull mask. Oh, another basic ass monoalphabetic cipher that’s not even a polyalphabetic cipher just because it looks spooky.” By the way, any system of sigils that’s a monoalphabetic cipher is basically ASCII. The sigils these people create aren’t even comprehensive ideograms to capture the basic contours of the experience, so they are mystically useless, and they pretty much imitate the grapheme of the English alphabet.

    These completely normal, mediocre people honestly believe they are edgy and weird. They’re boring. They are not innovating or transforming anything. They are just churning out things typical of that genre. They are living memes. I’m so fucking bored looking at occultists’ work nowadays.

  7. I frequently get asked if I’m psychic, can I see the future, and if I give readings. The answer is no. I’m big on science and empirical data, so I’ve conducted experiments where I used true randomness from Johnson–Nyquist noise to generate numbers corresponding to pixels or images. I’ll have a control group that I don’t attempt to predict, and an experimental group that I try to predict. I’ve even made beam splitters from laser pointers to generate randomness using the photoelectric effect.

    When I tried to sense the future using randomly generated numbers and images, I got most of them right with a p-value less than 0.05. Does this mean I can sense the future? No, because when I compared the randomly generated numbers in the experimental group to the control group and checked to ensure they were approximately random, I discovered that the experimental group wasn’t random. Specifically, I was able to measure a dynamical orbit in the experimental group.

    I describe the psychic influence of magical forces as a chaotic force. Therefore, I would say that magic drawing its power from the noetic sphere is a force of chaos. My empirical measurement and observation of how I affect truly random processes in ways that create dynamical orbits is a reason why. By creating dynamical orbits in random data, my psychic influence inserts chaos into the system. Chaos in dynamical systems is characterized by a non-linear rate of change. Chaotic systems are deterministic because their behavior is entirely determined by initial conditions. This distinguishes them from stochastic systems, which involve inherent randomness or disorder in their behavior.

    In shifting the future, I am breaking the symmetry of unitary properties of the system to create topological defects. This affects the ionization energy of particles. In the context of muons and ionization energy, this could cause an interaction with an atomic nucleus in a way that leads to a transition with a change in flavor. It creates a break in the evolution of the system and then restructures that gap with information that is inserted into the system such that the past and the future are shifted. Psychic influence creates a teleological influence where the only future that is possible is the one it has created thereby making it deterministic and chaotic via a dynamical orbit and attractor.

    I did these experiments multiple times and had my husband do this as well. He was able to predict the future random images, while both the control and experimental data remained random. Whereas with me, there was always a dynamical orbit, even though I got most of it right with a p-value less than 0.05.

    This means I can’t predict the future psychically, because I influence future probabilities to conform to what I expect it to be. It appears like I am predicting the future, but I am actually changing it. So, if I tried to give someone a reading, I would be prescribing and not predicting their future. My biases would shift the cards. I’m pessimistic and cynical, so I would negatively affect the future, so I avoid trying to look into it.

    I’ve done a similar exercise with a random walk. I had a person take 1 step at 90, 180, 360, or 270 degrees in a room based on randomly generated numbers. When I tried to predict where they would be at the end of the exercise, I was right, but the numbers exhibited redundancy, a pattern, and a signature, and the Geiger counter registered weird stuff, as did the cloud chamber we created to visualize it. Here is a Youtube video on how to make a cloud chamber:

    How to build a Cloud Chamber

    I bias the future when I try to see it. My husband can see the future. I can’t.

    This means that in trying to sense the future, I influence the ionization energy of muons, alpha radiation, and cosmic rays to force the future into a state I expect it to be. I’m influencing the probability distribution of electrons to influence ionization energy. I influence the probability of the electrons being close or far from the nucleus, which affects ionization energy. I can’t see the future, but I can control radiation when I try. So, no, I can’t give readings but I can deflect radioactive particles.

    Here is the interesting philosophical question: Am I changing the future or am I creating a new reality? As I stated, the process is chaotic, and chaotic systems are deterministic. Most people incorrectly believe that the ability to see the future, change the future, or influence the future and the past proves that histories are mutable and not deterministic. That is not necessarily the case.

    In many high-level programming languages, there are mutable and immutable data types. This text would be a string data type. In Python, for example, you cannot change a string. Here is an example:

    x = “This is an example.”
    x = “This is an example where I changed something.”

    We intuitively think that we changed x. We did not. They are not the same object. They are two different objects. What we did was create a new instance of a string with the changes that we wanted, and we pointed x to that new object so that x now references that new object. We have two different string objects where we have created a new string. A new string had to be created because the original string is immutable.

    Different histories are different realities. If the future is similarly immutable and deterministic, then my husband’s ability to see the future and my ability to influence the future both either create new futures and new realities or it changes vectors, tensors, and scalars such that there is a translation to a different existing reality. A translation to a different reality would be like me teleporting everything to a different reality. Am I simply changing the future and restructuring things on a subatomic level, or am I creating entirely new bubbles of realities? The problem with multiverse stuff and cosmological discussions about determinism and whether all moments in time all exist at the same time is that they are largely unfalsifiable. So, I am skeptical of the idea that I am creating new realities, but it is plausible.

  8. You might be going through a time of profound changes - this may be a turning point, a moment of confrontation, or a “death” of a sort. Remember that change doesn’t have to be negative. This can be a time of beneficial rebirth or regeneration! Try taking time to learn in this growth period, even if it’s uncomfortable or uncertain. #Tarot #runes #elderfuthark #Heathen #Witch #witchcraft #pagan

  9. Do you like to write in #runes? I have created a web app that has five runesets ( #Futhorc [Anglo-Saxon runes], #ElderFuthark, #ShortTwig, #LongBranch, and #Medieval runes), allows you to copy to your clipboard, automatically remembers and loads your last used rune set selection, has keyboard support, and lets you choose between modern looking runes or ancient looking ones.

    It's also free and ad-free. It's called RuneTyper 2.

  13. When I went to pull my rune this morning I immediately felt drawn to Thurisaz. However, when I went to pull my hand from the bag, Wunjo wanted to come out as well.

    Remember today that it is easy to focus on the negative, but at the same time the positive is not far behind.

  28. CW: Happy Solstice - a ritual

    From an experience exactly 7 hrs ago:

    Winter solstice.
    Just a few minutes ago.
    I lit my candle.
    Sat down in front of my makeshift altar atop a small chair I don’t really remember where I’ve gotten, but might be from my maternal grandfather.

    Drew a rune for the year ahead, from the rune set I carved myself a few months back.
    Ansuz.
