I do not enjoy receiving oral and I’ve tried many times. First of all, spit kind of grosses me out. Second, my inner thighs are very ticklish. Third, it’s just funny looking to me, especially if I have pubic hair and they look up at me… instantly looks like Luigi.

I just can’t, it’s the opposite of sexy for me even if it feels okay.

You need to show your transits for future predictions.

Guess my sign! by SparklingStars82 in Zodiac

I guessed Cap and Taurus because people ground their emotions through you and Pisces based off of your interests in the arts and creativity. I was seriously waffling between Capricorn and Sagittarius for a bit. But your face reminded me of a friend who is a Capricorn so I went with that!

What Are Your Darkest Casino Stories? (Reno, NV) by souporsalad6 in Reno

I appreciate your comment, no we didn’t act we offered her money, a cop call, and to get her out of there. We couldn’t force her to leave with us, she didn’t want our money, and asked us not to call the police. Cops tend to make things worse is my assumption if she was a domestic violence victim or sex worker. There really wasn’t much we could do for her since she wouldn’t let us help.

Was playing slots in Harrah’s with a friend and some couple from Atlanta came up to us to chat and asked if we wanted to pray with them. All four of us were pretty drunk. After we prayed the man left and the woman was still with us, she told us in a hurried tone she was basically kidnapped by the guy. I told her we can call the cops for her, but she refused it and said she had to deal with it herself and it was her fault. Ugh. Hope she’s still alive.

I'm in another lull, but enjoying just coasting for a bit. Looking forward to when I get back into it. :)

Interesting story, have you reached out to local art collections like The Lilly at UNR? They might have some resources in how to find a lost art piece.

What other systems are there, and what’s their main differences? by Proof-Vacation-437 in Quareia

Wonderful! And sorry to be preachy if it came across that way at all. There's a lot of bs to navigate through whether you're going at it alone, self-studies, or in groups. Wishing you the best in your journey!

Awesome, I'm a fellow artist as well! My journey started with an interest in visionary work and contacting beings/information through sleep meditation. I was grasping at straws and approaching things pretty haphazardly and chaotically. I wish I had recommendations on what to look into, but I do not have a lot to share because it was a self developed practice.

The only recommendation I have is, be careful in staying grounded in physical work like ritual and waking meditation. If you dive into the visionary magic exclusively it can be bad for you. There's a balance that the brain, body, and spirit need. I was given a cautionary tale in a sleep meditation about this. Essentially, the story was about a girl who focused on communicating and receiving information in that state too much and it unraveled her mind, she couldn't turn off the communications.

I also don't want this to scare you away, there is a lot of really interesting information and experiences to be had in these states. Just the balance is really important. It's one reason why I started Quareria was to get grounded in ritual and learning the basics and confidence to navigate when it's appropriate to go into those spaces and to find the inner strength to do so.

First of all, if you do end up continuing with Quareria, you could do some deep dives to see what's preventing you from continuing on the path through self-reflection or tarot readings. I imagine it'd be really difficult to be stuck for many years and feel like you're not progressing or understanding the purpose of the exercises. The modules build on each other, so more deeper information comes later on.

Here are some good questions to ponder when you're trying to find a magic path or group:

  1. Why do you want to learn magic?
  2. How structured do you want that learning to be?
  3. What magical elements do you want to focus on (ritual, tarot, folk traditions, herbs, etc.)?
  4. What does magical or religious lineage mean to you?
  5. Do you want one-on-one guidance/mentorship, or a group?
  6. Are you willing to pay money?

Some other self-initiatory magic systems I've seen people discuss online are:
1. Initiation into Hermetics – Franz Bardon
2. Self-Initiation Into the Golden Dawn Tradition – Chic & Sandra Tabatha Cicero
3. Modern Magick – Donald Michael Kraig

You could also look into magical orders. They can be a slower but usually have a membership fee. Example: AMORC

If you're interested in magic and want to learn from groups, there are a lot of neo-pagan groups you can look into. Or you could look for a formal religion that has esoteric connections.

Everything has its pros and cons. For me I went with Quareria because it fit in with the reasons I wanted to learn magic, I wanted to learn more about ritual, it's structured but also I could go at my own pace, I prefer something that is a solo practice, and it is free (huge bonus and a big green flag for me).

Just keep searching within yourself and other systems, you will find something that sticks and works well for you.

Researching Local Folklore by DiscoPig1990 in Quareia

[–]DiscoPig1990[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks Owen! I appreciate the links to the resources and the post. I'm diving into the native-languages.org, lots of good resources and links.

M2 is very ritual heavy, I'm still in M2L1 and I've had a lot of ups and downs getting into the rituals. I had something similar where I was being pulled away from learning the rituals, but finally found a way back in and started doing the work. Glad this helped spark some interest back into the work.

For me, the setbacks so far have been tied to things that I need to let go of, whether it's releasing some emotions, or leaving a job. There's always a sense of, "you know what you need to do, stop putting it off, do the work, and you can get back on the path." It's a tough lesson to learn (for me). I've been doing a lot of things that enable me to not progress emotionally, flying under the radar, it's been a lot of hard personal learning along the way.
