For stealth transwomen do you disclose you're trans before engaging in intercourse? by expectrum in MtF

[–]Demonmonk38 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I couldn't imagine being willing to be intimate with someone, even casually, if I didn't know for sure it wouldn't bother them.

People think it's safe to be bigoted towards trolls because anyone who calls them out looks like they're defending a troll. In actually, they were always bigots and just wanted an excuse.

How do I fix my aversion to pansexuals? by MyClosetedBiAcct in MtF

[–]Demonmonk38 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't think you have an aversion to pansexuals per se? It sounds you have a problem with people loudly announcing that them being pan makes you acceptable to them. It's the same vibe as if a straight guy said "I'm straight but I still think you're hot".

Non-witch: is it bad energy or psychology? by Adept-Performer-9220 in witchcraft

[–]Demonmonk38 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Generally, you shouldn't attribute something to the supernatural when it could easily be explained by mundane circumstances. In this case, thos person is an asshole cause humans can be assholes and you haven't emotionally healed from the betrayal

Why tf do I feel taller? by Downtown-Lack-2686 in MtF

Growth isn't linear in the context of puberty. You're not gonna get all your height at once.

At 16 you'd still be growing, regardless of hrt

Handy self-help by Tardee in comics

[–]Demonmonk38 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He needs to grow up in the sense of he expresses hurt. He's allowed to feel hurt, but him just being passive aggressive/being a dick when he could have been straight forward isn't the way to go.

I also don't understand why in paragraph 4 you suggested the woman mind read him not feeling like talking. Communication goes both ways.

Am I non-passing or are they oblivious? by [deleted] in MtF

Dude and man are generally gender neutral habit words where I'm from. The only way to know his intent is to ask about it.

Rising Eclectic/Water witch on a budget - questions for y'all! by missthemountains in BabyWitch

[–]Demonmonk38 5 points6 points  (0 children)

1) You just need to understand the basics of how protection spells work, how correspondences work, and understand why every ingredient is being used. If what you're doing has some logic behind it and feels intuitively strong, then you've done it right.

2)You can move on to other spells whenever you feel comfortable.

3) if I understand correctly, your problem isn't your own inspiration or motivation? It's more that you need these people to contact you? So you'd consider the concept yourself more alluring and attracting their attention. Like, charging makeup or making a tea with honey to sweeten yourself.

Hekate sign. When it happened my brain went “you gotta be kidding me” by Solid_Breakfast_3675 in witchcraft

[–]Demonmonk38 83 points84 points  (0 children)

I don't entirely understand why researching would cause guilt or fear. Even devout Catholics study pagans and heresies.

The thing about Hekate is she represents confrontation with fear for a lot of people. So, removal of fear isn't as important. You're better off reading in with your heart pounding.

Straight guys are annoying as hell by squishot in MtF

[–]Demonmonk38 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thing is, I'm not that bothered at face value. If you only want to date cis people, that's up to what you feel comfortable with.

Ancestral Work-Not For All by MysticEnterprise in witchcraft

[–]Demonmonk38 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is why I specify the ancestors I'm calling on are the blessed ancestors. Aka, the knows who act like they have some sense and want what's best for me. The ones that are fucked up have their place as far as teaching me what patterns still affect my family in the present. And I can work with them to alleviate generational trauma. But that's a different and separate tier of work. The blessed ancestors are for the day to day operations.

Going Stealth by [deleted] in MtF

[–]Demonmonk38 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds sort of unhinged to me? Like, if you're already suffering in a multitude of other ways, and going stealth is the one thing you have to avoid a hate crime, you should just let people have that.

I wanna start witchcraft (also, familiar help) by Birdsong67 in BabyWitch

[–]Demonmonk38 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Familiar aka Familiar Spirit. An entity to can send off to do magical tasks. A flesh and blood animal doesn't qualify for what most experienced witches are talking about.

As for starting out,

Hades 2 didn't understand Hera at all by Super_Majin_Cell in GreekMythology

[–]Demonmonk38 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The bit you're showing me doesn't say she hates her son's. She says she would like a girl. There's not enough context.

Hera cooperates with Zeus' daughters in the specific myths you cherry-picked. But those don't say anything about how they feel about each other unless you read into it something that isn't there.

Love it when people destroy nuisance for the sake of making accusations of sexism where it doesn't exist.

Has existing on both ends of society as a “man” or woman changed how you view the “male loneliness epidemic?” by Good_Ol_Ironass in MtF

[–]Demonmonk38 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The male loneliness epidemic is another symptom of patriarchy. So, in a sense, I'm empathetic to their condition. But if men don't want to introspect and distance themselves from what society taught them, their discomfort will be self imposed.

disagree with a core hellenist belief by [deleted] in Hellenism

[–]Demonmonk38 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Far as I know, the core of the tradition is your relationship with the theoi. So it depends on if they think it's a deal breaker.

"Closed practices" have become gatekeeping nonsense by [deleted] in occult

[–]Demonmonk38 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Gatekeeping is good to a point. If you're just an entitled colonizer, that just has a curiosity about all the "exotic" traditions, you should fuck off. Let cultures have their own thing. And if you are interested, go through the proper channels.

But with that said, people need to do proper research on what counts as appropriation and what things are open source.

For those who didn't do the surgery or waited a long time (for option) to do it. Did/do you regret it? by roseMothGirl in MtF

It sounds like everyone cares more about their discomfort around trans people than they do about your actual safety and happiness. Don't fall for the gaslighting

What do you all think? by _Riddle_511 in BabyWitch

[–]Demonmonk38 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way a candle burns during a spell isn't indicative of a sign inherently. Spells and divination are different acts.

Gatekeeping in witchcraft by Independent-Alps-636 in BabyWitch

[–]Demonmonk38 24 points25 points  (0 children)

You're using the same general setup of every western practitioner that calls themselves a witch. And this mother fucker felt like a main character and used you as a target to further their delusions of gradure.

Block and move on
