From Tumblr, but it's still good info. I'd love for you to read it. Let's have intelligent discourse. Don't get pissy. Loves.
Just letting you know, there's gonna be a lot of F-Bombs and other cussing in this, it's how I rant. Idc if it sounds unintelligent. And they'll probably be a lil' bashing and a lot of sarcasm. I do have a tiny bit (okay, a huge) superiority complex. Yay. This whole thing is gonna piss A LOT of you off and I'll probably lose some followers. Yes, I could probably think about my answers and only write down the nice phrasings that I think of, but I won't. I'm gonna be brutally honest. It's gonna hurt many of ya'll's feelings. Get over it. People's opinions differ. Oh well. GTFO and Don't read if it bothers you that much. IDGAF.
1. THE DEPICTION OF WITCHES IN THE MEDIA OR OTHER FORMS OF EXPRESSION AS EVIL, UGLY WOMEN
Really? Why would you care about what other people depict us? Get the fuck over it. If you measure yourself by how other people see and understand you then you really need to sit down and rethink your life. Because you have you priorities back asswards. Plus take a look around, 99% of the witches etc. out there are abso-fuckin'-lutely gorgeous. [Everyone knows we wake up every morning and do copious amounts of beauty spells (sarcasm)]
2. VEGANISM AND WHETHER OR NOT IT SHOULD BE PART OF A WITCHCRAFT OR PAGAN LIFESTYLE
Welp, the main people who I see worrying about this are Wiccans and their whole "An it harm none" deal. I mean I'm sure there are others out there but they are the ones I see talk about it most. I don't perscribe to the rede so I couldn't give a flying rat's ass. Meat is good. All ancient societies ate meat. We were born and bred to eat me. We fuckin' evolved from HUNTERS and Gatherers. Duh!! We eat meat.
Oh let me guess, you're gonna tell me society has advanced far enough that we can survive without meat and that we should forsake meat, fur, leather, etc b.c of the cruel treatment done to animals in factories? Oh well. Even if every pagan in the world went vegan, it would barely hurt the industry. We are a severe minority and they know it.
My advice? Eat meat. It's delicious.
Oh and just so everybody knows the full story? I used to be vegan. It did wonders for my health. I lost 30 lbs and was healthy than I had been in years. Why did I quit? B.c meat is tasty. It's all I thought about. Oh that and tofu fucking sucks ass.
Eat meat and enjoy.
3. ANIMAL SACRIFICES
Do I do them? Haven't yet. Would I? If I felt I need to, aboslutely. And without a second thought. I'm not saying I would tie a living dog to a ash tree for nine days and stab it in the side with a spear. If I was going to sacrifice it would be as smooth, quick, and painless as I could possibly do. There is zero reason not to if the situation calls for it.
Please! Please! PLEASE! Convince me otherwise!
4. PEOPLE WHO ARE AGAINST USING ANYTHING BUT WHITE MAGIC
Fluffy! Fluffy! Fluffy f'n Bunny! Magick, Ritual, Deity, Life is all about balance. There can't be just love and light. It is completely IGNORANT to ignore the 'darker' sides of existence.
5. THE SPELLING OF MAGIC (MAJICK, MAIJIZZ?)
This is the silliest one on the list. In truth, it doesn't bother me one way or the other. But I will explain why I use the spelling Magick.
To me, there is a distinct difference in Magic and Magick. They are both, in and of themselves, uniquely different.
Magic is something done for performance. Prestidigitation and the like. Magick is the systematic attempt to alter the flow of the universe through the use of ritual and correspondences to assist in the releasing of personal energies derived from intent.
Oh and who the FUCK says Maijizz? A stupid ass 'gansta' who wants to pull a rabbit outta their hat? Yeah, that's what I thought.
6. MEDITATION AS A FIX ALL FOR EVERYTHING
I love Meditation. It is relaxing, enjoyable, and a magnificent way to explore the world spiritually. There is a tumblr post floating in the blogosphere listing about 100+ benefits of meditation. Wish I had the link handy to give you.
Do I think it is a super fix? Hell fuckin' no. Nothing is. It can help tremendously, but be realistic with me, doesn't it sound a little foolish to say meditation can fix all? You're agreeing, of course.
7. NECROMANCY AND WHETHER ITS OKAY TO FORCE THE DEAD TO COME BACK INTO THE REALM OF THE LIVING TO DIVINE FROM THEM.
You can't force the dead to do anything. You can't force anything to do anything. IDGAF if you are holding a gun to a person's head and telling them to kneel before you and exclaim you to be the All-Mighty Zod. That's not forcing them. That's simply threatening them and them concedeing because they are afraid to die. Okay, enough of the tangent and back to Necromancy.
Do I do it? Nope. Would I? Just like with animal sacrificing, if the time called for it, sure thing. It's not forcing the dead to do anything. Magick cannot control; it can only influence. If they do come and help you divine, then they are consenting of their own free accord.
There is no such thing as Necromancy in the sense of raising a cold dead corpse and making it walk around and do you're bidding. There are definitely zombies though, but that is something totally different (if you didn't know, that has to do with 'drugging' a living human being and putting them into a dumb-like stuppor).
8. GRAVEYARDS
How is this controversial? What are you referring to when you mention Graveyards?
I'll just talk in a few generalities. Should you desecrate a grave or marker? Hell no, it's rude and disrespectful. Is it okay to do workings in a graveyard? Absolutely. Why the fuck wouldn't it be? Is graveyard dirt something that can be used in practice? Dude, fuck yeah. It's a powerful ingredient and does wonders. Try it and see.
Anything else I need to clarify?
9. THE DEPICTIONS OF DEITIES IN WORKS OF FICTION/THE MEDIA
Okay, personally I hate it. It's the nature of media to corrupt mythos and disrespect the divine. Is this ALWAYS the case? Nope. Media and fiction are naturally biased. As am I. Everyone is. Oh well.
Can I live with it? Yeah, I've seen some stuff out there that can put some amazing spins on mythos that can even help to enlighten things for me.
Want a specific example of some shit that NEEDS TO FUCKING END NOW? Good, cause I'm gonna give you one. All those dumb fucks out there who do slash of Marvel Thor and Marvel Loki, stop it. I am completely aware that the Marvel characters are completely different than the TRUE deities of mythos. But one thing is unalienable! They share a existential core of essence. They come from the same source and even though there is creative licensing involved. These two Marvel characters share a lineage from the Norse mythos. This is my main pantheon. It truly hurts me at the deepest level when I see you disrespecting my Gods like that. As I posted earlier, if I see that shit on my dash, I will unfollow you in a fuckin' heartbeat.
10. PEOPLE WHO ARE OLDER THAN 35, WHO CALL THEMSELVES YOUR ELDERS IN WITCHCRAFT AND DEMAND THAT YOU GIVE THEM RESPECT
Bitch please. I don't care if you're my mother, respect is something that should be earned. You want respect from me? Then fuckin' respect me. Everyone's journey is their own. If you showed me respect, I will respect you completely, whether I agree with your beliefs or not. It's a viscous circle. Fuck with me, and you're a fuckin' dead bitch.
11. Z BUDAPEST AND HER COMMENTS ABOUT TRANS* PEOPLE
Never heard of her or her views, but from the quick lil' bit of lookin' around I did, that bitch can suck it. I'm not trans* but some of my dearest friends are. They are family. There is a spectrum of gender and sexuality. No gender (or lack thereof) and sexuality combination is better than another. We are all perfect, we all evolve. It's fuckin' fluid. I'm a cismale pansexual. Got a problem with it? Die. I won't think twice about it. Hey, better yet. I'll let you borrow my knife. It's rather dull.
12. NEGATIVE EMOTIONS AND PEOPLE WHO CONSIDER THEM TO BE BAD
Have you read everything leading up to this? I'm a very negative person at times. At other times, I can be the most positive person on this planet. As I noted earlier, everything is about balance.
Oh and if you think negativity is 'bad', get real friendly with those who believe in the supremacy of white magick as listed above. B/c you're both fluffy as all fuckin' hell.
13. PEOPLE ON TUMBLR WHO THINK THAT THE AMOUNT OF FOLLOWERS THAT THEY HAVE IS DIRECTLY PROPOTIONAL TO HOW CORRECT THEY ARE
There's probably a recurring theme here in what I'm saying. Bitch, wanna know why you have a shit ton of followers? B.c you post to feed the masses. Look deep inside and tell me that what you say is all correct? Guess what, NOBODY is fuckin' correct. Everyone is different and every path is different. That's the beauty of it. We all have our own trail to blaze. You have so many followers b.c you post in a manner that is appealing to the majority.
"Two roads diverged in a wood, I— I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference." Robert Frost. Read it. Memorise it. Live it. Love it.
14. PEOPLE WHO SAY THAT SATANISTS ARE ACTUALLY CHRISTIANS IN REVERSE
How can you be a religion in reverse? Dude, wtf? Does this even deserve a response? Nope. Just know, that's fuckin' illogical and ignorant.
15. PEOPLE WHO CLAIM THAT THEIR GREAT-GREAT-GREAT-GREAT-GREAT-GREAT ANCESTOR WAS A WITCH, AND THEREFORE THAT THEY ARE MORE LEGITIMATE THAN ANYONE ELSE
Magick has been practiced since the dawn of man. Odds are almost completely 100% that everyone has magick in their blood from many generations back. So you're argument is automatically fucked. Wanna be proven wrong some more? Kk, I'll indulge you b/c this is fun. I've said it time and time again in one rendition or another. We are all equal in blood. Magick isn't all about blood though. It's about research, practice, drive, determination, belief, secruity in one's self, correspondences, and proper intent. Fin.
BONUS RANT QUESTION: WHEN PEOPLE TELL YOU THAT YOU'RE NOT A REAL WITCH/PAGAN/OCCULTIST.
What constitutes a Witch/Pagan/Occultist? They are all umbrella terms with so many definitions that it's truly impossible to rule any body out. Bitch please.
Oh Gods, this was so much fun.
