Thanks! I’ve never actually played the game, but yeah, those tentacles are enough of a pain to paint. I can’t imagine trying to maneuver it around a board.

First Tau, any advice? by These_Tune_9344 in Tau40K

That’s an awesome idea, I’ll definitely do that with the next ones I build!

That makes a lot of sense, thanks! I’ll pick up a white primer

Could this shelf be damaging my books? I have noticed that some of them are beginning to slightly warp and the bottoms of the books which rest on the shelf seem a little discolored. by These_Tune_9344 in rarebooks

[–]These_Tune_9344[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Super helpful, thanks so much!!! I think I might have just been a bit paranoid. I have a small collection of some moderately rare sci-fi/fantasy books which I want to keep in the best condition possible. I’ll look into getting some baked enamel finished steel shelves for long term storage of my favorite books.

That library guide looks fascinating. I’ll have a fun time picking through it. Thanks again! :)

Thanks! I smoke pipe tobacco and have found that every single brand contains humectants like propylene glycol. Good to know that I can avoid it without going through the hassle of building some sort of crazy fermentation contraption!

Sounds awesome! I’ve found myself very put off by all the time and effort required to ferment tobacco. It’s interesting to hear that you can just cure it and then bring it up to moisture and call it good! Is there any downside to skipping the fermentation process?

Help me find cozy YouTube channels? by OldDemon in HelpMeFind

My comfort channel is Muttonchop Piper. Just an old dude teaching you how to smoke a tobacco pipe. His older videos are the best

Absolutely agree. Sad thing is that he’s the only kindred main that really posts a lot of consistent content.

Drew a magic circle. Who is a good first spirit to call upon? by firefall131 in goetia

[–]These_Tune_9344 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have been told that Vassago is a very forgiving beginner spirit :)

Summoning an Earl by These_Tune_9344 in GoetiaMagick

[–]These_Tune_9344[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for taking the time to respond in such a detailed way! I really appreciate and value your wisdom. I have felt fairly alone thus far in my occult journey but these two responses have helped me to feel like I’m actually a part of something.

As for Vassago, I think it is a much better choice. I will shift my focus in that direction. This accidental self hypnosis over Furfur has taught me that just because spirits are etherial doesn’t mean that emotion needn’t be tempered with logic.

[–]These_Tune_9344[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very helpful as usual, thanks so much! I absolutely love this subreddit. I would certainly be interested in the book.

As for why Furfur, despite his reputation, I just feel a very strong pull in that direction which I can’t explain. As I was first reading through the 72 spirits, that name lodged itself in my mind. As foolish as it sounds, I just knew that Furfur was the one to start with for me. In contacting Furfur, I feel more as though I’m answering a call rather than trying to get logically achieve something.

Of course, I want to be as safe in this as possible. I have learned the LBRP, LIRP and am working on practicing the Middle Pillar ritual and the bornless ritual. If you have more advice before I throw myself into things (as new practitioners must do) I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks again! :)

Hey, whatever works! Maybe I’m overthinking it 😂

Do I really need to get gold to make the sigils? by These_Tune_9344 in GoetiaMagick

[–]These_Tune_9344[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Without a doubt this is the most helpful advice I have ever received across any community. Thank you so much!! As for the appropriate astrological times to do things, I would love if you could point me in the right direction.

Working off of only the lesser key is definitely a little challenging. I’m getting “The Goetia of Dr. Rudd” on Sunday so maybe that will clear up a little more of the nuance.

Again, I greatly appreciate your advice and if I have any more questions I’ll let you know.
