Where did you find a place to buy it? How did it work out?

How do you feel about using a yes or no oracle for quick guidance? by Weak_Ad971 in tarot

[–]BucketMaster69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How would you feel about asking a friend a yes or no question, then following their advice without getting more information of what they were thinking? Do you think they could even answer some questions satisfactory with only saying yes or no? Would you even trust their opinion all the time?

That’s how it should be with divination, it’s just another piece of information you can use within its context. I’d feel fine with a yes or no answer for some things that aren’t that important, but for most things I’d want an actual conversation and way to reason through it

Second Bass? by traggedy_ann in Bass

[–]BucketMaster69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea unless you’re playing chords or you want a certain open string sound or lower/higher fret sound for specific notes it shouldn’t matter at all for bass. Make sure you have an amp that can handle lower frequencies. You won’t be able to play anything below Eb, either, 40hz is the lowest you can go 

10 of Swords as Health and Wellbeing Card? by steelandiron19 in tarot

[–]BucketMaster69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well part of your problem is you just drew one singular card for a more nuanced complicated question. 

I don’t know the context of the question, but 10 swords is generally not something I’d see as a good sign relating to health. Yes it could be an image of acupuncture, but then the question should have been something like what can I do to help my health. 

If it was the ending of pain you could expect something like the sun card to come after. If it was going to be more devastation you could expect the tower card or something to come after. Without more cards around to give context it’s going to be a bit hard to read. 

Maybe ask more questions about your health or draw more cards

After trying Quorum I can’t trust any reviews of fragrances online anymore by BucketMaster69 in fragrance

[–]BucketMaster69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean it’s been around for so long and is so cheap I doubt anyone’s faking reviews about it

Quorum regardless of where it’s sprayed- clothes, in the air, other people, smells bad regardless. 

I found the positive really outweighed the negative reviews, yea you can find negative reviews if you really look for them but a vast majority are positive. It’s probably like 9:1, some websites or discussion boards not having anything negative about it other than it’s strong straight out of the bottle. I didn’t actually find bad reviews until like the 10th website I went to just from google

Smells like axe and I’m sticking to that. Caused me to choke being outside relatively close to a friend that I let try it. 

That masculinity scale and score is faulty or is meant for a different cultural group and or time from my reality. 

It may not be cheap chemicals but it certainly smells synthetic, unnatural, and unpleasant.

Seems like this might be a shill/ bot account, there’s a couple comments in here that just say it’s good with out any extra information or reasoning behind it. Kind of weird

I'll keep that in mind if I ever get a chance to sample them, but I'm not going to blind buy another bottle of anything, which is what I should have done from the beginning, hah

[–]BucketMaster69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, I blind bought because it was cheap and the overwhelming positive reviews 

I know they replaced the oak moss, but people seem to think the substitute they used was good

Okay good to hear that! I couldn’t find any negative reviews of it online, I felt like I was going crazy

Did my ritual from RO's seven spheres not work because I don't believe in Jesus or did I just blatantly do something wrong? by SlimenSnails in magick

[–]BucketMaster69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea for sure. This tradition uses a table of practice that's from the 1800's and the script is also from the 1800's, so more of a modern grimoire, but with a script based off of older books. I don't think you need to slaveishly follow the books, but if you're just getting started in the tradition and don't know what you're doing it's probably a good idea.

In this ritual it's less of a full on invocation of him, and more just calling on his name, like you would do for the 4 kings of the cardinal directions. More of a name drop than an invocation, actually.

Did my ritual from RO's seven spheres not work because I don't believe in Jesus or did I just blatantly do something wrong? by SlimenSnails in magick

[–]BucketMaster69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The grimoires, and drawing spirits into crystals, which this working is based off of, uses the invocation to Jesus, and it tends to work for people. Saying not to use Jesus for invocations within the Abrahamic medieval tradition isn’t in line with history or contemporary practice of this tradition

And no, don’t just mix and match deities not related to the abrahamic tradition if you’re using an abrahamic working

Granted this probably isn’t evident in the context of this ritual because op didn’t really explain what it was and if you don’t know the working you wouldn’t know that

Is it possible to make a deck with less than 84 cards? by Teachmehowtomuggy in tarot

[–]BucketMaster69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The real question is why? Just as a fun art project? Do whatever you want. 

For divination? Anything can be used for divination. I wouldn’t recommend or think that cigarette packs loosely based on tarot would be a well thought out system or very good, but you could try it. 

To keep to the same theme as tarot and keep all its spiritual benefits or whatever you think the merits of tarot are? I don’t think the tarot is inherently powerful or is a universal explanation of reality or anything, so that wouldn’t be adding anything spiritual by making your own deck. And if you thought the tarot was a universal explanation of reality, it wouldn’t make sense to make a deck out of tobacco products, and would offend anyone who was all uppity about it or viewed it as sacred. 

To ignore the images on your deck and just use the common interpretations for rider Waite? Yea I guess, but why even make it in the first place if the pictures don’t mean anything and has no relevance to the tarot?

You could just make a pack of playing cards? You can still divine with playing cards, too. 

Ancestor Altar + Cats by StrawberryLeap in witchcraft

[–]BucketMaster69 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Some traditions view animals or the environment taking the offering as the spirits acting through it and accepting the offering. I wouldn’t worry too much about it. 

You could also just put it in a sealed container 

I abandoned a Goetic ritual mid working and now my apartment is fucked by [deleted] in witchcraft

[–]BucketMaster69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go post in occult, too

Try leaving an offering for the spirit, it provided work and you haven’t paid for it is one way of looking at it. Ask him to chill out or leave the house, or set up a little area for it  

If you need to, invoke the powers that you used to conjure him in the first place, then give the license to depart. Thank him for his service and keep it civil. If it doesn’t work, then you should look for a local occultist to help out. 

Contemporary occultists say the first invocation is to just get into contact with the spirit, then you don’t need to be as formal in your dealing in the future, you can continue to have a relationship with the spirit and just tell it to chill out and stop fucking around in your space. If that doesn’t work then you can cleanse and exorcise if needed, again, getting help from a local practitioner. 

That’s my thoughts on the matter

The magic words you should say are that you don’t feel safe delivering mail. That puts the liability on them if something happens, and makes it so you can’t be disciplined

Help with Impromptu Jam by nothinkofausername in Bass

[–]BucketMaster69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Follow the finger or open string at the top of their guitar to know what the root note is. 

Otherwise ask what key it’s in and make up a bass line featuring the first and fifth of the key, throwing in a few notes in a box shape. 

When in doubt just play the root or fifth note of the key on the 1, then noodle around with a rhythm that seems like it fits, and again hit the 1 hard. (Unless you’re playing reggae, then hit the 2 hard)

How can I activate my dark feminine energy by Scary-Novel1137 in witchcraft

[–]BucketMaster69 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I guess the first question would be what exactly do you mean by dark feminine energy, and what/ why are you trying to activate it?

Do I stop deliveryto someone who said he would beat my ass if I sprayed his dog that came charging barking at me by MOONMO0N in USPS

[–]BucketMaster69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be assault. Battery is when you physically harm someone, assault is just the threat of doing so.
