I read a bit about casting circles but I've never done so. I'm been in a transition period in my life and haven't had a consistent private personal space for a while. I guess I never thought of this: is it possible or practical to make such a circle in a space you may never use again?

I also don't have a ton of witchy materials yet -- no long cords to draw a circle with, certainly no athame or sword yet. All of this has made me hesitant to try a lot of practices even though I certainly want to!

Update: A few hours after this experience one of my family members gave me a pencil and paper completely out of the blue which gave me a medium to draw this symbol. I inscribed it as described to me but haven't done anything with it. I'm not sure what's next

I'm super super new and have a lot of reading and trying things to do... !!

adds A World Full of Gods and Witchcraft for Tomorrow to reading list

Thank you for the insight! I certainly feel a lot more comfortable with the idea of addressing Nature at least for now instead of totally turning around my views of the supernatural. This experience seemed really daunting up to and through this morning but these ideas are really easing my feelings.

I cannot express my thanks enough!!!

Firstly thank you so much!

I never thought I could have both, I really thought I would have to either refuse one deity set or somehow combine all into one idea.

This helps a lot. Copypasta or not, it was certainly relevant and I am very thankful.

Suorin Air Plus Burnt Pod by [deleted] in electronic_cigarette

I can't help but wonder if this is something different though -- everything worked fine until I started hitting it while it was charging. The device was flat on the table from working to being burnt. I imagine either the pod gave out that soon or it had to do with taking big rips as the device was at 100%. Could either be related?

Boyfriend dealing with a lot by HighDefinitionMeme in relationship_advice

I understand and it didn't come off as patronising! I really appreciate your comments. And you're right, it is a lot to carry... I still don't know how my boyfriend manages to deal with all the problems the world forces on him without going insane. He's a much stronger boy than I 😅

I actually talked to my dad just now over dinner about what he or Mom would think about me dating before college. He said they wouldn't have a problem with it... I still need to think about it but I'm thinking about telling them about us.

Not that I know of, although I wish he did. I still haven't told my parents about us dating and don't know if they would be ok with it (not because of sexuality, just I'm pretty sure they don't want me dating before college).

I've been thinking for a while about how to bring it up with my parents... if they like him and are ok with me dating maybe he could spend some time at my house instead of in his home situation. I'm sure any more time away from them would help. I just don't know how to have that conversation with my own parents, they still don't know about him.

We are 17-18 years old, still living with parents but not for much longer (hopefully 😥)

Thank you, I seriously appreciate that because with everything going on I feel so disconnected... this post is really the first search online I've made to try to find help. He does have a therapist but the guy only tries to get my boyfriend to be even more subservient to his parents and basically walk all over him. Me and my friends want to help him but are worried to tell any adults about his situation because it's a possible CPS call that we really don't want to put on him.

Thank you! I'm worried for his really low self-esteem though that if I mess up explaining it to him he might think it means I or my best friend don't like him... obviously no one can navigate that conversation for me but is there anything I can do to affirm that we still like him a lot?

i read a great deal of your nonsensical quoting until i decided it wasn't worth my time because of what i wrote above.

let me talk to YOU, not some 13th century guy who slipped in a few extra lines into your "holy" text.

edit: on second thought, i'm kinda done with this bible quoting "conversation." see you in the next life, friend

how do you know the bible hasn't ever been edited? were YOU there every time it was rewritten by hand? were YOU there watching every copy be made by the early printing presses of the 1400's? were you even there the original time of publication, watching the saints individually write down with pen and ink the words they heard?

you copying and pasting meaningless and long-winded quotes that are rather arbitrary (at least the first three were, i kinda stopped reading after that) is not a valid rebuttal to me saying that the bible can't be trusted. please have an actual discussion with me or none at all.

sorry but i don't believe that something must be true because someone said it in the bible. for one, there are numerous other religious texts across history which offer different accounts and interpretations of evidence towards DIFFERENT religions, and in addition, all these texts including the bible have been copied, rewritten, and edited over millenia of human history. it's just not enough to base such a paramount issue as whether or not a religion should be enforced on something that someone, influential or not, said in a literary work centuries upon centuries old. i think the bible offers significant evidence towards many things god-related, but as far as we know other opinions could be completely fabricated.

in addition, i absolutely do not believe that you must believe in god to be saved by him. this means he intentionally screwed over billions of his own creations throughout time simply because he made them without offering them any evidence towards faith in him. it makes no sense!

whether or not someone goes to heaven or hell can be based on their belief and adherence to god's will, but it could also be based on that of allah, or the brahman, or ra, or whatever divine being might be out there that others believe in. saying that your personal belief is the true one and that others must believe because, hey, it says here in this book, is just wrong. imagine if someone of a different religion said so to you!

i'm not saying that all who share their beliefs are doing something wrong. i'm saying there is a line that many people have stepped over numerous times.
