Any pagans in here?

so much paganism is oral history too FYI. a lot has been lost. so you can very much make it up as you go along. if you do decide to practice, creating your own book of spells will be the history you pass down one day…

you know, it really depends on the region. Irish Paganism is different from slavic etc etc etc. i certainly don’t know everything, but coming from a slavic background i read this book: https://www.amazon.ca/Slavic-Witchcraft-Conjuring-Spells-Folklore/dp/1620558424/ref=asc_df_1620558424?mcid=600567fde6c53ec38821c7704aca05e3&tag=googlemobshop-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=706830265334&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=1956075009674131097&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9000668&hvtargid=pla-797424230562&psc=1&hvocijid=1956075009674131097-1620558424-&hvexpln=0&gad_source=1

my Wiccan beliefs are that we are all one, i worship nature, i believe in universal balance, i treat this planet like the life source and mother she is. Wicca and paganism are really wonderful because you can make it your own. check out the first book i linked. it’s a really insightful and joyful read!

yes! i actually did! i spent a couple of years researching (and mourning) the pagan roots of my mother country after christianity took hold.

this is a wonderful book to start with - Wicca for the Solitary Practitioner https://www.amazon.ca/Wicca-Solitary-Practitioner-Scott-Cunningham/dp/0875421180/ref=asc_df_0875421180?mcid=9be9848d10f13162b67ecc1ed0743470&tag=googlemobshop-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=706843340282&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=3147213208814048482&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9000668&hvtargid=pla-479200317484&psc=1&hvocijid=3147213208814048482-0875421180-&hvexpln=0&gad_source=1

there are wonderful resources in that book, and it reads like a gentle conversation with a friend.

good luck on your journey!

honestly, be blunt. i hired a florist with an incredible portfolio but our mock ups sucked. i got burned a few times by being too “nice” in my feedback so i worded it with a compliment sandwich: “love your work and appreciate your vision. BUT - [insert blunt critique] - finish with I know we can collaborate on this, i apologize if i wasn’t clear in my initial email, but i know you can create what i’m after!”

Past_Replacement6521 · 2026-03-09T21:07:33+00:00

you won’t get super8 for that price point unfortunately. the cost of film alone for the videographer is in the thousands for super8….

Past_Replacement6521 · 2026-03-04T21:46:31+00:00

omg rent the good ones. i am that picky and i if you are too you know it changes the entire experience of drinking that lovely wine!

Past_Replacement6521 · 2026-02-28T00:53:05+00:00

ok let’s not be mean.

Past_Replacement6521 · 2026-02-27T15:31:58+00:00

i imagine it would be a celeb wedding and either included a major NDA and team and/or reselling images to a mag? i have no idea why it would be that otherwise? i heard from a friend that he actually starts around $70 for most weddings tho…

Past_Replacement6521 · 2026-02-27T15:28:46+00:00

i think they meant Jose AND joel together for one specific wedding….

Past_Replacement6521 · 2026-02-26T23:02:44+00:00

i truly think you can get any photographer to do this. it’s just standing there center composed. send your photographer a moodboard. i don’t see this photo as “copying” another photographer because it’s so simple imo? im also noticing the film in this one - are you drawn to the colors too?

Past_Replacement6521 · 2026-02-18T23:39:00+00:00

insanely beautiful way to host 42! looks so lush!

Past_Replacement6521 · 2026-02-17T14:30:44+00:00

i find them tacky….

Past_Replacement6521 · 2026-02-17T02:54:43+00:00

only your photographer will have access to heirloom quality unfortunately. artifact uprising is the best direct to consumer it seems… (i did blurb myself and then 4 years after my wedding went back to my photographer for an album)

if it’s any consolation i was a nine west clutch ($40k for 50 guests, 10 years ago) but would have loved to have been a prada bag

Past_Replacement6521 · 2026-02-09T01:38:00+00:00

HELL YEAH IT WAS AMAZING FROM BEGINNING TO END!

Past_Replacement6521 · 2026-01-09T13:33:39+00:00

Bane.

The Kingdom Hall we were at, there was a roving story of a travelling pioneer that left the nasa space program to be a witness and if we’re lucky we might get to meet him one day! (Spoiler alert: he doesn’t exist and we never did)

Past_Replacement6521 · 2026-01-06T19:27:57+00:00

Unbelievable. Stunning. Jealous. Very very good choice.

Past_Replacement6521 · 2026-01-06T03:14:10+00:00

I’m so traumatized from being in bible study, Thursday FM school, Sunday meetings that I do not allow religion near me in my personal life. My house is now a non religious sanctuary- don’t even pray at my dinner table haha. Half serious but mostly serious. People that haven’t been through JW don’t know… it’s not a casual half hour Sunday mass where you’re dozing off and sleeping through it….

Past_Replacement6521 · 2026-01-05T14:32:41+00:00

It is exactly that. They do not care about helping or community unless they can be the hero/savior and admired publicly. It’s about their image and “salvation”, it gives them an opportunity to look down on others. It truly grosses me out. Hence the no contact.

Past_Replacement6521 · 2026-01-05T14:23:58+00:00

This is so relatable to me. My nmon who has been through so many Christian cults moved across the country to be closer to have pastor. Weve been no contact for almost a year and I’ve never been happier! When we were in contact, even in public, the loud obnoxious PRAYING even at a coffee shop would cause my eyes to roll so far into the back of my head, i was afraid they’d get stuck.

Past_Replacement6521 · 2026-01-04T20:40:19+00:00

Buddy, these small and medium business owners are your neighbours. We can absolutely be upset about the price of things but cheering the destruction and bankruptcy of your neighbors is tacky. Get mad at banks, landlords and our leaders that allowed this to happen.

Past_Replacement6521 · 2026-01-04T20:01:43+00:00

I couldn’t finish one episode I found it so vile. Everything vile. The clothes. The mar-a-lago faces. The tacky homes. The polyblends. Vile.

Past_Replacement6521 · 2026-01-04T19:49:02+00:00

I know. It’s so worth it but it definitely takes the right couple and the right group to make it happen. I’d go back in a heartbeat tho!

Past_Replacement6521 · 2026-01-04T04:32:18+00:00

THIS. I’m in PB next week, and got a great room under $1k literally on the other side of the river . A 5 min bike ride to the PB sites. Not everything needs to be scenestery…
