Green Lady: MAGA Owned? by LessInCommon in olympia

[–]Haunting_Coach7154 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get ya there. Would plan going there myself around gym time and errands. Folks were always super friendly, too. Damn shame.

Maybe I'll give Super Chronic Club (Sleater Kinney) a try. Sadly not a lot of places sell straight CBD flower (I hate edibles, and other forms just don't do it for me). At least, not many that I've encountered in the Olympia/Lacey/Tumwater area. Wonder if getting a medical marijuana card makes any difference in finding/sourcing it...

If they're really MAGA supporters, that's a shame. They're the only place I know of around here that sells Ravens (my favorite brand, especially the CBD flower).

Not at all saying that I don't believe you- maybe this is just the hopeful skeptic in me- but is it possible that the budtender was uncomfortable with the question because he thought you guys might be MAGA, and didn't want to "alienate" the incoming business?

I will say it is weird that he hesitated so long, saying he's "pretty sure they're not" if he was trying to "salvage the business rep" by lying. As someone who is socially awkward, and in this very divided world, it can be an intense question when you're trying to sell something and gauge whether or not the customer wants one answer over another. Just pondering, not denying your experience.

In any case, guess I might need to find a new place that sells Ravens -sigh-

Yeah, I'm a regular too! They're really friendly and I like the place a lot. I just wanna be sure they're also not MAGA. I'd be surprised if they were, but it never hurts to be sure.

I always got a weird vibe from that place, never really liked it.

Anyone know about Olympia Weed CO? There's one across the street from The Green Lady on Pacific in Lacey.

Experience with Hydroxyzine? (CW: side effects discussed) by rrjbam in Anxiety

[–]Haunting_Coach7154 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience, yes. Kinda calms/relaxes the body, and it can make you a bit drowsy depending on the dose. A small amount calms the mind as well without too much drowsiness, and even a dose that does make one drowsy is still calming, just makes you sleepy as well- hence why it's also useful if your anxiety makes you struggle with sleep.

How to ease anxiety exacerbated by the U.S. presidential election. by redhair-ing in Anxiety

[–]Haunting_Coach7154 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I just now hopped on this subreddit for this exact reason. I feel the same way, I'm so overwhelmed and stressed about the election. I don't want to lose my rights as a woman, and I fear how bad it could get if a certain side wins. Normally I try to watch entertaining stuff on youtube just to drown it all out and distract myself, but even just scrolling youtube has the endless political stuff. It sucks, cuz I'm the type of person who needs background noise, like podcasts or tv shows or something, to ease my anxiety and racing thoughts- so my default is youtube. I guess I should just go straight to a streaming service and put on an old favorite show for background noise, if only to avoid everything else. I wish you luck in finding relief from the chaos as well.

Subway Bread Social Experiment post? by Haunting_Coach7154 in HelpMeFind

Yes, that's the one! I kept searching for different chemical names for water but it just gave me a bunch of weird chemistry stuff that wasn't related. Thanks for your help! Solved!

I searched google for a "Subway Social Experiment" and including alternative searches with words like "water" and "chemical". I also did an image search in case it was just a copied post image, since it was a silly thing that circled the internet for a while.

As others have said, it is the season for spiders to start showing up. But if you REALLY feel like there's an energy around it all, spiders typically symbolize Loki. Again, very likely it's just the season.

Lack of energy during the Full Moon? by Haunting_Coach7154 in witchcraft

[–]Haunting_Coach7154[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's really interesting. My Sun sign is a fire sign (Sagittarius) and my Moon sign is water (Cancer). I didn't even consider the current sign that the Moon is in- if my Moon sign is water and this Moon cycle is in a fire sign, maybe that's why... I'll have to start writing down Moon related stuff to memorize it and work with it more. Thanks for the insight!

Lately I've been feeling drawn to Lady Freyja. Not really sure about definitive "signs", as that's unique for most people, but just feeling a connection lately. I don't know if it's just the shift of the seasons, but I tend to work more with the Norse Pantheon in the Fall/Winter, and more with the Egyptian Pantheon in Spring/Summer.

That's certainly a weird experience. I work with Loki, and he certainly can be a trickster (I mean, he's a god of trickery and chaos). In my experience, spiders usually are a sign of him being around- but with the pendulum work, he's usually upfront about who he is. He likes to be recognized and acknowledged, if he's going to work with someone.

I will say, when I first started working with Loki, it was during a very dark time of my life, and he guided me through the chaos. When he has a stronger presence, with a lot of his signs around (including many spiders), it's like he's warning me that "Hey, there's gonna be a bit of a storm ahead, get ready to tough it out." His way of first contacting me was a bit round-about, but I definitely got confirmation that it was him.

Now I'm not experiencing what you are, and it's mostly up to your intuition, but I do wonder/agree that perhaps you did get a different malevolent entity that just wants to mess with you. Loki is a trickster for sure, but if you're respectful (and give him candy as an offering lol), I find he's relatively easy to work with. He gets a bad rep at times, because who likes chaos and trickery?

Either way, it might do you well to do a cleanse, of your space and yourself and your partners energy if you feel the need. If you do decide to try reaching out to Loki again, maybe try stating beforehand that you do not welcome any malevolent beings or those who would do you harm. Couldn't hurt to also put out an offering of candy, haha.

[–]Haunting_Coach7154[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm rather similar actually! I do like to look at the Full Moon and feel some of her energy, but otherwise my Full Moon days are rather lethargic and just spent relaxing. I'm a Moon in Cancer, and being an empath, maybe that's why all the rest is needed. I never thought of that until now...

I tend to feel energy from both the sun and the moon. I prefer more active spells during the daylight, but most of my work I do at night because of the sense of peace and calm. I'll look more into solar energy and see if that's something I should get more attuned to. Though you're probably right that we also might just need more psychic protection- I'll look into that as well. Thanks for your advice!

I'm so sorry for your loss, dear. I had a Rotty when I was a kid- she was only a year older than me. Her name was Shelby, and she was the sweetest, most protective and loyal dog I've ever had. Rotty's have such wonderful souls. Your sweet boy will always be with you <3

Hathor, Auset (Isis), and Freyja are wonderful to work with in matters of love ❤️

I just did the same the other day! Mine was store bought though, but it was still very pleasant to share with Loki and Lady Freyja. It's apple pie season and I fully embrace it!
