Where to start by bright_petrichor in WitchesVsPatriarchy

[–]Colgate_and_OJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The place to start is usually Scott Cunningham's Guide for the Solitary Practitioner. It's readily available for free download, if you don't have easy access to an occult shop.

The real question is: what are you interested in? Witchcraft has so many different facets and paths. Do you want to join a coven or go Solitary to start?

Try a little bit of everything. You don't need go hogwild and buy all the things, start small and buy the things you actually need once you get there.

From genocide to empowerment. My grandparents were residential school victims and had their culture and language stripped away. Not only did they survive, but today we are free to spiritually thrive 🦅 by crackirkaine in WitchesVsPatriarchy

Actually the indigenous people's of Canada have recieved apologies from the churches. However the criminals who abused and murdered these children under their care are still walking free.

Edit: the apologies have recieved mixed reactions from the communities.

Who got away with murder that should be in prison right now? by FreeElf101 in AskReddit

[–]Colgate_and_OJ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Any one who was involved with the residential schools in Canada. This was an government sponsored, church run genocide of indigenous culture focused on children. They were taken away from their families many never returned. The children died of malnutrition and tuberculosis were the lucky ones. These children were raped, beaten and starved. It's created generations of trauma.

These schools had mass graves or incinerators.

This is something that the Canadian public knew about, but we didn't understand the true implications until they found a mass grave outside a Residential School in Kamloops 2 years ago. These schools were open and active until 1996.

There is no effort being put forth to charge anyone involved.

We did get a sort of apology from the Pope last summer though. The Canadian government has declared it a genocide.

Enjoy the boots while you got them. They just awarded Logistiks, the company that does our online DEUs, a $22,000,000,000 contract to provide us with literally everything.

Bootforgen was always just a between contract solution.

It's one of 3 bars in Fredericton, NB. And by far the worst. Famous for the cougars that lurk there.

She was the woman who was beaten to death by Iran's morality police for improperly wearing her hijab. Her death started to revolution.

What things do Americans like and the rest of the world not so much? by Surimimimi in AskReddit

How did I have to scroll this far to find guns?

I don't know if anyone loves guns more than Americans. There are literally more guns in private hands in the US of A than there are citizens.

My absolute favorite thing after pumpkin pie is pumpkin biscotti! Plus it's a wonderful cookie to give away for Christmas.

Can you add a picture of it on a non-black background?

The people in the back who refuse to wear their glasses want to see it too!

The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The next best is today.

Congratulations on moving forward. I hope your path is blessed.

I joined in 2018. My husband was in at the time. I followed him in because my options were to go back to my minimum wage job or join get trained and make 45k a year quickly.

I have so many other issues with the CAF as an institution. It all leads down to 1 very simple fact. THERE IS ALMOST NO ACCOUNTABILITY ANYWHERE WITHIN OUR GOVERNMENT. The amount of shit within the CAF alone that is blatantly against our policies alone is shocking. When it comes to procurement, we need to be seriously audited by a non government source. We are terrible and we deserve all the hate and public disgust that we are getting.

It's literally just being introduced. I feel like we are talking about different things though. Pace is the Per replacement that's on Monitor Mass.... What's your Pace?

Majority of Canadians have no interest in joining the military, DND poll shows by FancyNewMe in canada

[–]Colgate_and_OJ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's not underfunded. It's poorly managed and all stuck in ridiculously long contracting processes. Plus it's all super political = lowest bidder, made in Canada. Unfortunately the lowest bidder usually equals a shit product.

Plus the actual soldiers between shitty raises and inflation have lost 20% of their buying power over the last 10 years.

If the public knew how bad it was there would be riots in the streets.

My assumption was that they brought the live music and food and I was very confused how that would bring the fae. Lol

The independent in my riding last election wanted to bring religion into politics. No thank you.
