Concept: Social Classes and daemons.

aw fuck i can’t believe you’ve done this (but i’m also glad you did because this idea is a big one)

social classs are already so complex, the way people are treated based on social class and income are already so askskskgha but to add dæmons to the mix? are people gonna start treating others like second class citizens because of their dæmon’s form? maybe if someone doesn’t conform to the expected dæmon for types of their class they’re given a harder time than others that do? maybe in a capitalist society dæmons are seen as a commodity rather than as your soul and other people living in different parts of the world are disgusting by our attitudes towards it? ofc if dæmons were physical tomorrow companies would start selling us dæmon related shit the day after without a doubt

but back to social class, there would likely be social expectations placed on people to determine what form their dæmon “should” be based on their social class. maybe only certain forms are acceptable for certain people, maybe women are expected to settle as x amount of forms because of bullshit gender expectations, maybe people of color are expected to settle as only certain animals under the guise of “that’s their culture!” while other people don’t have those expectations placed on them at all. if having a dæmon means that you’re human then what implications does that have for people who are viewed as less than human? fucking yikes™️. the world might even get to the point where dæmon forms are largely influenced by need based on lower social standing rather than opportunity associated with higher class standing. kids exposed to more stuff and given a better education would be more likely to choose forms that are diverse, kids that aren’t as lucky wouldn’t be given that chance at all and a dæmon form bottleneck between the upper and lower classes might form

i really do like those “what if dæmons suddenly appeared” ideas but at the same time it’s a potential hell world. things suddenly get a lot scarier

Panserbjørne

Do they have a class system or some type of rankings?

Do they have oral traditions?

Do they have religion?

What kind of laws do they have?

How different are the roles that male and female bears play in their society?

Has there ever been a ruling queen? Or is Svalbard a patrilineal monarchy?

At what age do Panserbjørne make their sky-iron armour?

There's a palace in Svalbard, are there anymore buildings that the bears use for themselves?

On The Elements: Water

Of all the elements none can be fully experienced or sensed physically in the way that water can. It soothes with its coldness, eases with its warmth, and suspends with its immersion. ‘=

Perhaps the easiest way to understand water metaphysically would be through the physical and immersive properties of water. To understand water is to understand connection that cannot be touched, only felt. For ultimately water is about two things, emotion and connection. (with many sub facets)

The astrological components of water are the energies of pisces, in the form of mutable water. Cancer in the form of cardinal water, and scorpio in the form of fixed water. All of the elements in fact can be thought of as having three different aspects to them a cardinal, mutable, and fixed aspect. This is reflected in the heavens.

Mutable water can be explained as a stream, this water is free falling, guided only by gravity and the shape of its vessel. This water forms the veins of the earth, connecting other great bodies of water and providing physical and nutritive connection where its environment deems it should flow. The mutable energy of water seeks freedom and expansion and has little shape of its own. Its mission is to spread the qualities of water between less mobile aspects itself and those things and places which may lack its resources.

Fixed water could be explained as the steadfast expanse of the ocean. However in the context of scorpio I prefer to think of the mariana trench. Fixed water is unyielding, not because of stubbornness but because of vastness. Fixed water is representative of the subconscious, the primal, and the repressed, particularly themes of emotion, and spiritualism.

Cardinal water is the genesis of water, a deep spring with frothing bubbles bursting forth from the earth. Dying the sand it soaks with itself a rich brown. Cardinal water is about bringing forth emotions and connections where they have not yet been reached. Cardinal water seeks to be the spark of emotion, the voice which advocates for emotions, and a provider of spiritual sustenance.

Magically the correlations between water and practical magic differs very little. The focus however does become just that, practical. . The energy of water can be harnessed for many task it is most suited for those task which align with the following correspondences:

Emotion

Soothing/easing

Healing

Cleansing/washing

Divination

Spirit work

Protection of the emotional body

Illusion

A brief summary of plants associated with water and their proclivities:

Chamomile - this is also a solar herb, it is excellent for cleansing, soothing/easing, and healing or balancing egoic issues, it can be used in love magic

Rose - A venusian herb extremely attuned to magic of beauty, glamors, love, relationships, the thorns carry a fiercely protected energy that is not shared with with petals.

Aloe- a lunar herb. This herb is a healer and protector of peace.

Comfrey - a saturnian herb known for protecting travelers, and spells of healing and exorcism

Marijuana - A saturnian herb, known for its use in spells of divination, illusion, protection, cleansing, and healing.

Apparently seals in Aberdeen have learned to climb onto a branch and rest there

Arboreal seals

I AM LOSING! IT!!

ARBOREAL SEALS

Things that have helped me feel closer to my deities:

Praying before their altars (bonus points if you write your own)

Read books other than their myths (books you think they’d enjoy themselves)

Meditating with them

Learn about magickal subjects related to them

Dedicate a journal for notes and document experiences you have with that deity (including moments where they’ve assisted you and any divination conversations you’ve had with them)

Listen to their messages and follow through with them

Light incense that reminds you of them

Find artwork that feels like that deity and hang, print or save them

Divination Methods (Runes, Tarot, Pendulums, Bone Throwing, etc.)

Watch content on different subjects they’re related to (documentaries on death, relationships, crime, etc.)

Dedicate, care, and/or name pets, plants, plushies, etc to them

Learn not just their pantheon and myths but the culture that influenced them

Wear jewelry dedicated to them (bonus if you have that deity enchant them with protection)

Share meals with them

Thinking of them in passing (like “hey that thing reminds me of *insert deity*”)

Talk casually at their altars and give them an itinerary of your day

Define your relationship with that deity and refer to them accordingly (if its a more formal/in reverence, use a formal title. if it’s warm/personal, use an affectionate name.)

What form would your daemon take?

In the world of His Dark Materials, what would your daemon appear as?

this was a long undertaking but i’m beyond excited to post what i believe is the most comprehensive daemon-finding quiz to date, featuring 34 categories of animals and over 320 total possible outcomes! from insects to owls to seals to wild cats, you’re sure to find a unique result that fits your personality.

tag or comment what your daemon would be! :) mine’s a cocker spaniel!

EDIT: the quiz has two parts, the category which this post links to (34 options), and then the specific animal within that category (5-15 options) which you’re linked to once you get your result!

Hey everyone, an Animorphs fan who describes themself in their bio as an “authoritarian” and a “nationalist” just followed me. This made me realize to my horror that perhaps some of my Animorphs followers are fascists. So, I would like to make a few announcements about the politics of Animorphs so that all fascist followers will promptly fuck off. Did you know that Animorphs is:

Anti-war and colonization (the Yeerk war is a metaphor for the horrors of the Vietnam War, in ways that are made explicit in The Andalite Chronicles when Loren compares Alloran to her father, a Vietnam vet)

Anti-genocide (the genocide of the Hork-Bajir is portrayed directly and gruesomely by Dak Hamee, one of its victims, in The Hork-Bajir Chronicles)

Anti-racist (Cassie, a black girl heroine, turns into a polar bear to terrorize a white man who calls her the N-word, one of the greatest most heroic minor characters in Eva, a Latina immigrant)

Deeply skeptical of government authority (see the portrayal of world leaders in the David trilogy, the fact that the military leadership of the Andalites was ready to genocide the Earth even though they could have ended the war with much less loss of life)

Feminist (Cassie and Rachel are just as important as the male Animorphs, Rachel is the most fearsome warrior of the group and regularly attacks men who try to control her)

Anti-homophobic (Tobias laments in book 23 that humans are unlikely to accept Hork-Bajir when they can’t even accept gay children)

Environmentalist (the importance of protecting the Earth and its biodiversity is raised in nearly every book)

Any authoritarians and fascists can unfollow me right now, and go choke on your own hatred. And maybe find another book series to stan, because Katherine Applegate hates you too.

Sea witchcraft

Sea witchcraft, also known as sea magic or ocean witchcraft, is a type of witchcraft that is centered around the sea and its energies. It is a form of nature-based spirituality that draws upon the elements of water, air, and earth, and the rhythms of the tides and the moon. Sea witches may focus on healing, divination, or protection, as well as working with sea creatures and the spirits of the ocean.

Here are some key practices and beliefs associated with sea witchcraft:

Connection to the Sea: Sea witches believe in the power of the ocean and its ability to heal and transform. They may feel a deep connection to the sea, and incorporate its energies into their daily practice.

Working with Water: Water is a central element in sea witchcraft, and sea witches may work with it in a variety of ways, such as using sea water in rituals, collecting rainwater for use in spells, or working with water crystals or gemstones.

Moon Magic: The phases of the moon and its connection to the tides is an important aspect of sea witchcraft. Sea witches may perform rituals or spells during specific moon phases, and use lunar correspondences in their practice.

Sea Creatures: Sea witches may work with the spirits of sea creatures, such as dolphins, whales, and sea turtles. They may also use shells, coral, or other oceanic items in their spellwork.

Protection Magic: Because the ocean can be dangerous and unpredictable, sea witches may focus on protection magic, using spells or charms to ward off negative energies or to protect sailors and fishermen.

Divination: Sea witches may use various forms of divination to gain insights and guidance, such as tarot, runes, or sea shell readings.

Weather Magic: The sea and the weather are closely connected, and sea witches may work with the energies of storms, wind, and rain. They may perform rituals to calm storms or to bring rain during droughts.

Sea witchcraft can be practiced both on land and at sea. Some sea witches may work by the ocean, incorporating natural items like shells, driftwood, and seaweed into their practice, while others may incorporate the essence of the sea into their practice by using items like sea salt, seashells, or sea-themed decor in their homes.

Sea witchcraft is a beautiful and powerful way to connect with the energies of the ocean and nature, and to deepen your spiritual practice.
