is the Catholic practice of burying a St. Joseph statue in the yard of a house to help it sell magic

what about the tradition that the person who gets the baby Jesus in the Mardi Gras cake will get good luck for the year

yup! catholics cast a lot of spells, both official and unofficial. it is not a coincidence that "witch trials" became a thing at the same time as the protestant reformation

quote:

The accused witches lived in the area around Pendle Hill in Lancashire, a county which, at the end of the 16th century, was regarded by the authorities as a wild and lawless region: an area "fabled for its theft, violence and sexual laxity, where the church was honoured without much understanding of its doctrines by the common people".[2] The nearby Cistercian abbey at Whalley had been dissolved by Henry VIII in 1537, a move strongly resisted by the local people, over whose lives the abbey had until then exerted a powerful influence. Despite the abbey's closure, and the execution of its abbot, the people of Pendle remained largely faithful to their Roman Catholic beliefs and were quick to revert to Catholicism on Queen Mary's accession to the throne in 1553

Yeah I'm gonna say the first one for sure is a spell but I dunno if the baby Jesus counts cause it just seems less spellish somehow.

Ley lines were invented by a dude in the 1920s who looked at the high density of historical sites in brittan and got a brainwave where he started plotting lines on a map. He was convinced about several things like they were mundane straight roads for trade and that the region was deforested in the neolithic. He was right about the deforestation but the ley lines were just coincidental until some new wave weirdos became convinced they were used to signal aliens in the 1960s.

the dude who came up with the idea did not believe in mumbo jumbo, but the idea took in germany for a while and especially with nazis

Is "The Secret" magic?

SniperWoreConverse
Mar 20, 2010



Gun Saliva
I'm basically looking at it like:

Religion is public, magic is private
Religion is more trying to get a grip on your relationship with the supernatural, magic is an attempt to control it
Religion has more long term goals, magic is getting this specific result now

Magic is kind of spiritually cheating and getting one over on everybody else and this is why wise women or priestesses are respected but witches are despised.

So yes the secret is doing magic.

Here’s me talking about the magic of biofeedback before the spoopy sub forum went away.

Oh I can define it in at least one way.

I got a camera up my butt recently. The fentanyl was super fun, along with the prep for it. While I was waiting for the doctor to prep everything, I had oxygen in my nose and a pulse monitor in front of me. Naturally I wasn’t too pleased, so I watched the pulse monitor and slowed my breathing through my nose. I figured I’d get a nice oxygen high while I was waiting as opposed to just lying on my side clenching up.

I pushed my beef fat clogged, 20 years of smoking heart down to 45 beats per minute before they told me to close my eyes and here comes the drugs...

Tummo meditation is the same sort of thing to practice I suspect, either your fingers and toes are going numb or they’re not.

I think my question is, is the iron shirt psychotronics?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_shirt?wprov=sfti1

If it’s not, what is it, and wouldn’t it be a good idea to come up with common language to talk about if?

Epilogue, my butt is fine now I just had to stop drinking coffee.

oh wow and here I was thinking I was an agent of the force. turns out I’m just dumb.

also this same guy keeps showing up with bad :gas:
is that content?

you know, I’m also really into being told “you’re not a leftist if you…”

I’m bilaterally symmetrical thank you, is ambidextrous-ist also a thing?

I’m still hard on the path of magic by virtue of itself being something you don’t understand, and science being by virtue of itself, permanently incomplete.

I watched this short video of Neil the physics guy taking about “higher planes of existence” last night as I was falling asleep.

“If I existed on a two dimensional plane, and you passed a sphere through it, I’d see a point become a circle that expands then contracts back into a point before disappearing”

I think the great occult question is, who’s looking for spheres, and who’s saying shut up it’s just a loving circle.

oh, yeah. [adopting a bateman talking about whitney houston cadence] My first parachute account was ross perot in hell and i made it the day after he died as a gimmick, so when I needed another parachute account I regged this one and there was only one recent death that was meaningful enough to qualify. thich nhat hanh's allegory of living through the vietnam war, a bodhisattva must be as a lotus in a sea of fire, the idea of being fully present in the ocean of samsaric karma, it all clicks for me. as a bonus it pisses off hippy dipshit steve jobs types who think it's a disrespectful handle, but it's not, it's reverent and a fullfillment of everything I appreciate about him
