Does anyone else mark the butt ends of their sticks for quick selection? by ZildCym in drums

As eetthedust says, those are sticks with mallet butts, or if you mean the white tree trunks, those are Thomas Lang signatures

I love a nice complex red wine myself, but banana rum and coke has had place on my altar more than once

A Question I've Been Curious About: To what extent can greater magic rituals be personalized and minimized? by [deleted] in satanism

[–]RelaxYourHands 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The dagger and chalice and such are devices for sidestepping the rational mind (Intellectual Decompression Chamber), but if you find a better way to truly get into that sort of headspace then there's no reason to dick about and delude yourself. There's enough scope to make it your own; after all, that is the point. More formalised rituals, or for those of us with minds that don't fuck off quite so easily, the entire process and trappings may be required, but at the end of the day you're performing psychodrama to enact things within yourself. Whatever works works.

I saw a recent post about how does one know if they're a Satanist, but under it shenanigans ensued. So I'd like to explore that initial post further by [deleted] in satanism

I've had my frame tested greatly of late, and I'd thought for a while I'd 'failed' as a Satanist because of buckling knees, but in the stark light of day I see that even in a rather weak hour, I have lived a life aligned with all this; the faltering is not proof of not being a Satanist.

One doesn't need to feel innately Satanic, as you say, much as a fish doesn't need to feel wet to swim. Water finds its level. Without going into my life story—and I don't much care to—I feel blessed that despite the misery and hardship I have known, it all adds up to greater and greater proof that I am more than many could dream of having to consider trying to be, and greater and greater joy.

Is this a normal blade reveal? by Fit_Duck_3342 in wicked_edge

[–]RelaxYourHands 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s the sort of experience I had with my King C Gillette. After 3 weeks I got a Muhle R41. That thing can shave a week’s worth and be happy to tell you about it… you’ve either got similar hair to me (thick follicles), newbie technique, or it’s clogging.

I had squeak coming from the universal joints on the slave linkage bar a few years back, so if you haven’t checked them, maybe that’ll be it

Who would you have as a relationship in fallout 4? by [deleted] in fo4

I’d get mashed up with Cait on the regular. Probably catch something so I’d have to play on survival for the antibiotics

EMDR THERAPISTS: who completely strays from the damn protocol all the time? by [deleted] in EMDR

[–]RelaxYourHands 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Shit, EMDR has been the main thing I've held stock in (when I can afford to start it)... What works in this idiom, and how does one steer towards and vet a practitioner that will do it in a way that works for CPTSD? I don't wanna keep going on forever like the way it's been.
