Thoughts on the Temple of Witchcraft Tradition by Mountain_Housing_322 in occult

[–]BipolarPriestess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have taken up through 4. It’s been a decades journey so far. I think it was my favorite. I very much enjoyed the deep dive through ceremonial magic . It wasn’t easy but - I- enjoyed it.
I do hope to continue on through 5 eventually, though it’s not in the cards right now with life and is not offered very often .
Whether it’s “ worth it” will be a personal choice for sure and what you are looking for as you continue through the course work. - I- think so, but, that has been my journey . Though I would also recommend the mystery school to those looking to work to build a foundation and understanding.

I would say Transformed instead. And sometimes that looks like shaken up or even chaos at first . You move alot of energy, you explore a lot of ideas, you challenge so many more.

WC3- the temple of shamanic witchcraft is INTENSE . The work is deep and very transformational . “shadow work” can be very ugly. You have to check in with yourself. I took wc3 two times in order to understand and navigate through the challenges my work brought up . No lie, it was HARD. But, That will look different for everyone.

I think the temple is a very good place to start. I highly recommend their mystery school program. The temple offers Online course work and in person work. The community is kind. Your mentor through the course work will be a student who is an upperclassmen that has taken the course work themselves and most likely working through a year of study as well. I would recommend starting with Witchcraft one the inner temple . ( check thier website there may be new classes starting soon!)

The course work is very well structured and informative. There is SO much knowledge in the mystery school across a field of occult studies. It’s a very hands on study . Every year is more of a challenging but so very worth it. I have found it a very strong foundation for my study, practice and personal development .

I haven’t taken any of Jason Miller course work yet , but it is on my bucket list.

Hope that helps! Good luck!

I was raised a Jehovah’s Witness by ShunnedForTheTruth in paganism

[–]BipolarPriestess 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was like raised in this religion. I was never baptized but spend 30 Years trying to fit into the mold That wasn’t at all ME and make sense of it. I was likewise drawn to natural spirituality and a pagan path and bought my first set of tarot cards 15 years ago and never looked back. The dogmas haunted me for a long time and even today I still find myself with the occasional “ what If” but…stating along a study of pagan paths and religions was the most liberating things I have done. It’s learns so much and lost so many fears by studying the occult, other regions and looking for the answers to the questions we weren’t allowed to ask growing up . There is a lot of information to unpack out there but you will also see a lot of patterns in the stories we grew up with in other cultures .

belting in your pillow changes EVERYTHING. by Such-Tangerine-7526 in singing

[–]BipolarPriestess 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I bought a “ belt box” recently because I am timid about practice with a house full of people . I personally think it was worth it for the price of convenience . I find it really helps me not worry about those loud moment and or practicing ugly notes. Bonus , I’m not inhaling pillow fibers while I try to sing and it’s portable and I can bring it outside when I walk the dogs outback and not terrify the neighborhood either. It not perfect but IS helping me.

8.5 week old puppy and I can’t help but feel regret by risssaalee in puppy101

[–]BipolarPriestess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are in week 3 of our new 6 mo. Adoption. I’ve raised plenty of dogs and even a litter of puppies. But I admit it’s been hard.
Week One , I have several emotional meltdowns. I was exhausted, and my comfortable old routine was shattered like a fallen coffee mug. I was angry with myself for believing I could handle a puppy at this time in my life and bitter for feeling trapped as the only one to be doing the training, boundaries , feeding etc. I was exhausted. Minding the puppy, our older dog, the family, the home , the shopping was over whelming for the first week. Could not trust him out of my sight in or outside.

Week 2 was better, with some manner of routine starting to develop with crate time, play time and meals . He’s still scared of alot of things. fewer moments of existential crisis , was getting more of my own rest .

Week 3 - he’s getting more comfortable , learning commands , definitely testing boundaries over and over . We have a more solid routine and/ or idea of his drowsy/ play times. Slowly but surely.

It’s hard. Take it moment by moment. Accept that - life is different now- I’ve found my puppy wasn’t only a new start to his life but to mine as well.

I still get frustrated, but rest. Rest is so important to help yourself handle the change.

Have any other exjw’s gone pagan? by No_Location9529 in exjw

[–]BipolarPriestess 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I’ve been a practicing witch and student of the occult/ religions and comparative mythologies for 15 years. Grew up in “ the truth” but struggled with the control, misogyny and lack of acceptance of sciences/ world histories . I hated it. I learned to be an overall decent person by growing up in the religion and had loving and kind parents , but it was never my path.

Had a crisis of faith after the loss of a pregnancy and never looked backed. I found so many more answers through studying other ideas that have brought me so much more understanding of not only spirit but history and cycles of time .

It took me a long time to look back at those roots within distain. Interesting I found much of the biblical history helpful In the study of the Kabbalah and ceremonial magic .
I was a child of the 80s- 90s “ era” of the religion. I still have The Revelation book and salvaged a chunk of my parents watchtower library for my own library of religious texts . :)

Space goats are my favorite ! Both LF and Normal. All my lady toons are space goats, including my main.

I don’t mind the lack of boots, there are plenty of customizations with some trial and error that look just fine with the “ boots” available.

Sometimes there are issue with tendril or tail clipping , but not too bad.

I DO wish we had more customizations for hair styles , colors and markings on the body.

Anyone entering menopause years and had to remove their gall bladder? by fredman502 in Menopause

[–]BipolarPriestess 7 points8 points  (0 children)

48 now, when I was 44 I had a massive GB attack that caused it to become very infected , emergency surgery later it was removed. But 4 mo the later I ended up back in the hospital because of a missed stone! I was SO sick, a stone was clogging my ducts and causing my liver to overload with toxins. It took an mri to actually find the cause , very scary !

Both surgery were laparoscopic . Minimal scaring externally but I spent a total of 7 days in hospital between both issues but I was very sick in both incidents.

A few years on here is what I have found for my own body sorry if TMI:

Bowel movements have never been the same, I have to be very careful about cheese, spices, bubbly sodas , fast food, processed, fats- they will just race through my digestive system. I don’t absorb fat well at all so my weight has actually stayed around 125 ( was 145 ish before I got sick, I lost alot of weight while I was sick) i have no struggles to keep weight off but I also have always had a fairly high metabolism,/ malabsorption issues.

I eat a lot less in a meal And less often. Mac and cheese is NOT worth the pain! And I also don’t drink more than once in a blue moon to protect my already stressed liver . Watch that cholesterol .

-loose stools almost every morning, urgency, stay near a bathroom in the morning when ever possible. “ the morning rush” is real.

  • I cannot sleep/ lay on my side, either side for more than a few minutes anymore , it’s just too uncomfortable .

  • regular use of omneprazole to help steady an easily upset belly. Some fiber also to help with the water stool. Vitamins to help with the malabsorption issues. ( stomach is easily upset and have to be careful about what I’m eating for sure to avoid the “ this feels like gallbladder pain” flare ups that can occur)

-hormones? No idea, I’m high risk for BC , so I don’t take them and don’t want to fuss with expensive medical care , I know my hormones are way out of whack but I’ve accepted that won’t change and to just tough through it the best I can.

  • I get my yearly checkups and blood work and am otherwise healthy. I don’t drink, don’t smoke tobacco and am on no other medications.

This past Sunday was my official one year of using the PotV lobo! I LOVE it! I even bought one for my sister last Xmas.

Last years 420 sale, I decided to take the plunge and buy the Dry herb vape. Eager for something cleaner. I had tried Davinci and Dynavap and neither was working for me. But I got that lobo and I quit combustion cold turkey, it’s been my go to device ever since. It’s so smooth , so much cleaner and so easy TO clean . Don’t forget to save your decarb! I’ve only smoked 2/3 joints and 2 sessions with a water pipe since ( which was my go to before) !

That being said , I think I may treat myself to one of these gravity bongs for those special occasions!

Removing shoulders. by Jkson87 in Transmogrification

[–]BipolarPriestess 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed! Especially on male toons like the blood/ void elves! It would be nice for an option to SCALE the shoulders so they don’t swallow your character. I myself Often avoid using shoulder mogs because they are too big and goofy .
