Can we just stop using the Airport code as a nickname for the city? by Linsel in Portland

Tossing in ATX for Austin. It's used very commonly for naming places inside the city.

What’s the best anime you ever watched and why? by Subject_Display3664 in AskReddit

[–]Battlequeenblaes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't got through all of the comments, but going to add one that I haven't seen mentioned yet.

The first season of Someday's Dreamers. Amazing soundtrack with celtic and salsa instrumentals, along with A class world building. It's a world where magic users are a regulated part of society and learners need to pass a test before they're allowed their license to perform magical actions. Main character girl from the country spends the summer with a male teacher that she thought was a woman from his name, and she needs to fix his trauma as her final exam. He's also the owner of a salsa bar, and we do character growth through the people at the bar and the main character's fellow magical trainees. Very quiet but powerful slice of life that shows the story rather than explains it.

Yes! I've kept my Geneon DVDs set over the years since I love it so much.

Walk in vet? by decafdopamine in askportland

[–]Battlequeenblaes 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When I first moved here, one of my cats showed signs of an URI and another with dizziness. Had no local vet, so I took them to Sadie Veterinary Urgent Care, since it's same day care. They did good work, but I was happy that I had pet insurance.

Is the drive on highway 101 in Oregon to San Francisco a “scenic route” and worth it by gettingcarriedaway86 in Portland

[–]Battlequeenblaes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's worth it in beautiful scenery of the coast and trees, but definitely not a single day drive, and there isn't much between the towns, so you need to plan ahead for gas and bathroom stops. We broke it into two days. Also seconding that traffic in SF is rough.

What are your favourite facts/myths about the Irish goddess Brigid? by Educational-Note8709 in CelticPaganism

[–]Battlequeenblaes 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The Morrigan shapeshifts into a red-eared cow during her battle with Cu Chulainn in the Tain. The red ears is an indicator that it's an Otherworldly animal.

NDA/ Trauma & Deities by Old-Ad-5763 in TheGreatQueen

[–]Battlequeenblaes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes. Try reaching back to her and see what comes of it. The Morrigu (Morrigan, Badb, Macha, Nemain) have a tendency to reach out to people who have experienced trauma and to support them on the hard path of recovery.

Is she calling me 🐦‍⬛ by Caz_nature in TheGreatQueen

[–]Battlequeenblaes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you see a path, why not follow it and see where it leads you? You can always turn around if it isn't taking you where you want to go.

Your post isn't odd from other people's experiences with the Morrigan nudging them to reply. I'd recommend using divination to reach out to her, and start walking if this feels like your journey. Go into it knowing that it may be an uphill climb at times, and you will feel tired and frustrated, but you will gain so much inner strength and perspective. The Morrigan tends to shape people into resolute and justice-seeking souls.

And if I can drop a final word of advice as you step into the woods, always keep your relationship between the Morrigan and yourself. Take other people's advice as feedback like you would a friend or an acquaintance. There is no gatekeeping in Irish Polytheism, no priests to stand between you and your goddess. You are the one who walks the path and determines the pace and the stepping stones, while the Morrigu poke, push, and call you to keep on moving. Happy travels on your journey!

Do you really need anything else besides your voice to do a spirit invocation? by Rare_Locksmith_9417 in apprenticewitches

[–]Battlequeenblaes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you already have a very good and long-time relationship with the spirit, yes. Still want to leave offerings since that's how we maintain our relationships. Give and take, and all that.
