lunatic plans, intent (re: Burning Man)
(if I need further help, I might do something crowdfundy.
Right now the biggest spokes are 'waveform collapse' which is due in a week and 'find ticket' to Burning Man; everything kind of hinges on those. So this plan likely may not even succeed, but eh!
Um. Thanks, though, if you're reading this. The support means a lot. n..n# )
short VERY nsfw story, tentacles, xenophilia, dubious consent
@neonNeptunian HAAAH I knew what this was linking to just from the CW.
lunatic plans, intent
maybe just maybe
if i can (re)find a ticket
and waveforms collapse in a kind way
i might just go to the playa anyway. just. ffffuuuckit.
it's only two weeks away that's 'totally' enough time to get my everything in order.
(honestly the biggest things would be transport and making more lanterns)
IT'S SOMETHING TO INVEST EFFORT TOWARDS AT LEAST. Something to Do.
masto-history help please?
@brooke I'm sure someone's posted this already, but just in case, there's the @sarahjeong article:
"the predominant culture of mastodon.social isn't San Francisco techies, it's really more of an LGBTQ-oriented space, one with a lot of anime avatars and a lot of furries."
Furry/Otherkin spirituality, serious responses only please
Oh gods now I'm actually sorta considering trying to write (or at least outline) something like this.
@literorrery Helllp, make the book-thoughts stop, you must have ideas how to do this. XD
Furry/Otherkin spirituality, serious responses only please
@vagabondsun 100%; this is basically how I talk about animism:
"Fine, you know you're conscious, do you think your dog isn't? Do you know a plant's not? Where can you draw that line? I can't."
Furry/Otherkin spirituality, serious responses only please
@KawaSeadrake Oh HECK yeah, fursona-as-glamour is good good stuff.
Furry/Otherkin spirituality, serious responses only please
Some of my own ideas:
The aforementioned 'furry-sight' as an alternative to aura-reading (I am _pretty sure_ I could make this a coherent exercise)
Astral-body work that doesn't assume the astra maps to the physical and gives advice on phantom wings/tail/ears etc.
Probably some version of a 'find your inner animal' meditation that is HOPEFULLY not horribly appropriative.
Animism. Just, well, if I was writing it, that'd end up in there

So, some tangential thoughts off what I said in this thread: https://awoo.space/@Oneironott/1725503
Let's say there was a "pagan/magick 101" book focussed on an animal-person perspective, like how there's books on "dragon magic" and "city magic" and "cooking magic"
What would you expect to be in it?
What would happen if we built mysticism from the groud up from this POV
I know this is a profoundly *coyote* idea but heeey here I am. ;)
mind's eye, past musings, phantom limbs (pos)
@KawaSeadrake oh dang I didn't even see this until after I posted that but yeah; we're hovering around the same point about the off-target-ness of "standard" alt-spirituality aren't we.
mind's eye, past musings, phantom limbs (pos)
@Oneironott I'm thinking about this more and I'm wondering how much also has nan caused by my focus on what I can get out of books and other "week-regarded" recorded experiences (again a search for validity)
Which is not too say they've been bad things to read but they leave out a lot of stuff that was already important to me. They talk about developing aura-sight, not furry-sight. ;)
mind's eye, past musings, phantom limbs (pos)
@Oneironott Oh yeah that was totally a thing for me too and I miss it. That's exactly the sort of thing I'm thinking about when I ramble about "making space for daydreaming" etc.
For me there's been a downside to "getting serious about my spirituality" that led to me getting way too caught up in which mystical experiences I can "validate", which seems to be straight up harmful over the long term. Thank you for reminding me of how things can be.
@USBloveDog I'll try and post some recordings! I'm not sure I'm gonna be playing anything complex on it though. :)
@kellerfuchs I am awkwardly unsure about the ritual as yet, though I am thinking it will involve some sort of formal naming as well as adding a final mark, and just... throwing in a lot of energy and prayer and stuff. c.c.
And it's dedicated to my path as a spiritworker, and to the historically unattested liminal diety in whose hoof/pawprints I walk when I'm doing so.
@kellerfuchs I'm not exactly a drummer either. Gotta learn that too. :)
Oh yeah and it probably goes without saying but:

Also for the curious: the script is a constructed one of my own design, translation not provided here yet (those of you who know it please keep it to yourself too, and um, especially don't tell me if I screwed up. x.x As far as I'm concerned, this is the first "official" work done in this script, anything previous that disagrees is deprecated. ;))
