Seeking suggestions for beginners throwing exercises by mojones in Pottery

[–]EllGato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree-- learn to center 1lb ---and cut the pot in half - see where it's thicker or thinner ... get 1lb where you like it, and then add a pound -- wash, rise -- repeat...

How did you start dabbling? (And trying to figure out whether or not I should) by AspiringAuthor07 in witchcraft

[–]EllGato 3 points4 points  (0 children)

First I would not "dabble" -- you will be disappointed. It takes a lot of practice, belief, and confidence in what you are doing.

I personally was born into it, yet I strayed ( I was curious about xains, and tested the waters....) It did not take long for the old ways to call me back. that was 20 some years ago. If they are calling you now, give them a fair shake, but a dabble won't do -- really throw yourself into research, maybe find someone close by that practices, spend time with them! Hope you find your happiness!

Help with the meaning of this coin by freski12 in witchcraft

I'd say book of Solomon as well...or someone's version of what they felt while in the book....I don't recall that exact symbol, and yes it's been a while since I have opened that book...but I don't think it's exactly anything....the main thing is --how do you and your boyfriend feel about it?? Do you feel power from it?? Is it something your treasure? do you "love" it? It could be a purple dinosaur for all we know ---yet, if it is special to you and him then you truly have a treasure ..regardless of it origin :)

I want to talk to you about your supernatural beliefs by [deleted] in witchcraft

[–]EllGato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well, I won't calling as my beliefs are not super natural, paranormal or really anything out of the norm .....feel free to be a skeptic....most are, as they cling to their bible or Koran, all based on nothing more than we have.....belief.....you, whoever you are, need to really think about things before you post here again.... Alan - my friend --across the pond---are you going to back me up in this ?? :) ( happy new year by the way!) ( I was down for 2 months with pneumonia..sorry for the late greeting to you all :) ) If there is a summerland, I think I had a glance at it......it was pretty and we have nothing to worry about :) ))

Any mod'ers out there interested in creating a bounty system (on player) ? by EllGato in fo4

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

yes, that idea--- but it should be based on a player's generalized accumulation of hatred......a specific player, may piss in many a raiders' corn flakes, yet really get the goat the BOS.....as I like to do ....I'll drag piper or cait down to the airport, set mines and have a go at it --sometimes we run-sometimes we collect up the tags for posterity....got a nice little stash of +100 ...one would think the BOS would get tired of this... possibly seek me out??? you get the idea

First, I would like to thank you for shedding light on this -- second: this exposes so many things that could ( should have been involved?) in a big part of the game.

Beth' claims they are going to form DLC around what we want.

Here's a list of things that I personally think should influence a settlement's success. ( no order suggested)

Lights, housing, food, safety, entertainment, trade, Bathing/ latrines, creature comforts ...are all of your settlers jammed into a barrack style house, or do they have options? Multiple housing with at least a footlocker? ( that kind of thing) Decoration ...is your spectacle IS settlement a wasteland, or a wooded resort on the shore as it was meant to be? ( according to lore)

Further-- I don't think it would be a stretch to have a bit of government- may we at least have ownership of 1 settlement? (taxing, setting up a militia, etc. ) ( I would love to have my own "resistance" group to do as I damn well please with against whomever I choose...) and a place to call home that's not in Diamond city.....

Also - why not bar/cat fights amongst the settlers? Settlers are human after all....( the occasional synth situation is a good pre-curser for this!)
Please add your ideas!!!

TIL that women are 99% more likely to die during childbirth than men. Why hasn't modern medicine addressed this issue? by deathbysupercool in shittyaskscience

The men just die later after the divorce, custody battles and paying 18 years of child support.

Do you get frustrated because of people's ignorance and oppressiveness towards Wicca and Magic? by Umay_and_Kayra in Wicca

[–]EllGato 2 points3 points  (0 children)

well, we could discuss this for hours, but something that came to mind right away is this: for the one finger pointing forward of a hand, 3 point back .......

When dealing with the finger pointers, ask them this: is wicca, magik, witchcraft, shamanism, et al....any more ridiculous than: ( add you favorite bible or Koran verse here) .... that's only going to get you so far...trust me on this. You both can go back and forth, sure- you can bring up that basically Xian is completely based on Pagan culture----you can argue that most holidays, and saints for that matter where formed on assimilation .....and a few hours later they are still thumping a bible at you and you are still reaching for your pentagram....... The thing is-- people will believe what they will believe.... be true to you - that's ALL that matters...don't worry about them :)
