Reposting this so I can pin it, as I think it speaks to the journey I'm on better than a post apologising for being imaginative! I've realised my imagination is my greatest gift, so I'm gonna wear it with pride from now on! No more apologies!
Already had a Sips call. Hoping for plenty c-c-c-coffee m-m-machine, but while I love a good demon win, I hope the good team win the BotC Christmas Special... It's Christmas after all!!

The Tower
While the Tower crumbles
From the inside out
Hands of desperation cling
To what's ending
To keep it the same, the old ways
But the new is on its way
It's starting to dawn
Can you feel it?
Don't get drawn in to fear and deceit
The only tools in their toolbox
Your attention is the prize
While the Tower crumbles
From the inside out
Hands of desperation cling
To what's ending
To keep it the same, the old ways
But the new is on its way
It's starting to dawn
Can you feel it?
Don't get drawn in to fear and deceit

In case anyone is interested in the concept of Tower Time. Here's a link to Byron Ballard's essays. To me, it's not an apocalyptic prophecy, but simply the messy end of an outdated system. It brings me hope, not despair.

Reposting this because it still hits so deep, and I don't want to forget her words of hope, love and defiance!
I mentioned Liv Torc's #poetry struck a chord with me earlier. If you only ever hear one of her poems, let it be 'Human Emergency'. I was too afraid to have kids, but her words: her fear, her hope, and her love, still resonate deeply. /|\

I promised my next post would be esoteric/pagan in nature. Well, I'm cheating a little here, but I'm reposting this because the topic spans both of my 'special interests' in one go! (Ah, autism! The Venn diagram in Jembru's head is a complex yet beautiful thing ☺️)

It's why I got so into the concept of 'Tower Time'. Because the imagery of a tall building collapsing, representing the end of a regime, goes back at least as far as the tale of Vortigern's Castle from Arthurian legend. Those myths live on in the collective unconscious... 1/2

Hmm... Just realised I've been a bit more 'and Madrigals' and a lot less 'Magpies' in my recent posts. Promise I'll post something more spiritual/esoteric next (I'd argue Encanto IS spiritual and esoteric to me, but I'll spare you the over-share and info-dump that would lead to 😂).

Not sure if it was due to the mugwort tea I had before bed, but I had a very cool dream this morning. Not lucid, but something I haven't dreamed about in ages. Cat woke me from it (grrr) but I'm still happy. Gonna be needing more mugwort methinks! 😊 ☕️

If anyone does see this and has experience, how do I become lucid for real? My trigger was flying, but now flying only makes my dream-self 'realise' I'm dreaming. So it's broken now 😂

I keep having 'lucid' dreams where I know I'm #dreaming in the dream but I'm still dreaming. Kinda like I'm dreaming about lucid dreaming while not actually lucid dreaming (and annoyingly, I'm better at it in those dreams 😂). Anyone else experience this?

It really is mind blowing that these hateful clowns keep stepping on the same "you made my superhero woke" rake over and over.
They didn't make your favorite superhero "woke," my dudes. Y'all became the bad guys.

It's easy to think ANY belief system is meaningless once you embrace the idea of reality tunnels, but I don't think that's the point. I think the success of a witch, druid (etc) comes from how good we are at constructing a reality tunnel that allows us to believe in what we do.
