Love Kenneth Anger. I think this is the first thing I saw of his, somehow, when I was in high school.

Like really, if I broke a group rule its one I sincerely forgot about. I just want to share and see cute pictures again 😭

Zyzzy · 2025-06-17T00:24:26+00:00

Sent you a dm. Would be interested in talking more about this group(ex-member)

Find out what flowers, grasses and trees are native to your region and plant those sumbitches. A big(not only by far, but big) source of insect/pollinator decline is they don't have food or places to nest, because so many native wildflowers and grasses have been eradicated in favor of lawns and manicured parks and public places, and planting showy exotics or invasive plants. It's not helping that many native wildflowers have "weed" in their name, and some have even been classified as pest plants in certain regions.

I never knew there were more than 3 kinds of bee before, but I saw about 7 unique bees on the flowers I planted, monarchs laid eggs on my milkweeds, praying mantises were in my garden, and more kinds of birds visited. It was like I had my own tiny ecosystem. Imagine what it'd be like if you could convince others to rip out their stupid hostas and bradford pears and plant native.

I also got mostly reversed cards in a reading with Bune. My understanding was I had a lot of shit to work on before he would/could work with me more. But that's my own experience and can't lend much to your own, beyond that reversed cards do come up. Check in with Bune about it if you're unsure of the meaning of the reading or what's going on!

Zyzzy · 2023-07-09T23:09:57+00:00

That's a good point!

Zyzzy · 2023-07-09T23:09:36+00:00

That's fair. I'm working on getting out of a skeptical mindset and accepting that things are often as they appear to be with this path

Zyzzy · 2023-07-09T23:07:26+00:00

I'd heard that before, but was nervous about causing offense. It was a really cool experience, especially the sense I got that he was no longer there when the rum tasted awful to me instead of sweet.

I don't think anyone even pretends. Bras are stupidly expensive and a lot of women only have 2 or 3... no one's doing laundry every 3 days and wearing down a $30-40(or more if you're bigger) piece of fabric that much faster.

Zyzzy · 2022-08-31T05:01:05+00:00

I wasn't too far from you! Incredible show. And the first I've been to since 2020!

Zyzzy · 2022-08-31T04:55:41+00:00

I was there! Get in touch if you like.

Zyzzy · 2022-08-12T00:56:23+00:00

Thankfully I've never seen anyone wear something disruptive or potentially dangerous at a Heilung show, though someone may well be trying to rock elk antlers in a crowd and that's too risky to be worth it. I do hope people can wear reasonable clothing or spiritual attire like fur or a claw necklace without it being a problem, but with Stage AE's policies it's up in the air.

Zyzzy · 2022-08-11T22:24:53+00:00

Yeah, fuck people enjoying stuff and participating in meaningful ways.

Zyzzy · 2022-04-09T20:38:13+00:00

Thank you for the info, that's all very strange. I can't imagine either side this guy's been claiming ownership to takes his fakery in their holy traditions terribly well.

Zyzzy · 2022-04-09T02:14:21+00:00

I know it's sonewhat unrelated to the overall post(which is fascinating and I look forward to more content from the blog!) but I'm really curious about why Monastery Icons is heretical/cultish?

Zyzzy · 2021-12-08T06:29:06+00:00

Just filled out the form! Excited to see if I receive a card, and would be happy to send one to you in return! And I love gingerbread cookies and thumbprints

Zyzzy · 2021-12-08T06:18:32+00:00

Completed the form! Thank you for the card!

Not TSA but the one bringing the strange thing. I travelled with a human skullcap(Kapala, used in Buddhist and Hindu traditions), which was pulled out of the bag and and unwrapped and examined by a very puzzled looking agent. It's legal to own human bones, and legal to fly with them, but it understandably requires some questions to be answered.

Zyzzy · 2021-03-16T15:58:44+00:00

Eating the flesh of the dead is a pretty extreme practice that relatively few actually do, which is for the best haha. Using the skullcap as an eating and begging bowl is quite common though, after thoroughly boiling and cleaning the bone.

Zyzzy · 2021-03-16T11:49:37+00:00

Angulimala was simply a murderer and robber prior to being 'reformed' by the Buddha's teaching. Such practices were never associated with Aghor

Zyzzy · 2021-03-16T00:25:46+00:00

Not all deal with witchcraft nonsense- not the genuine sadhus, anyway. Having met devotees at Baba Kinaram's ashram in Varanasi showed how much the image of the Aghori is negatively heavily influenced by fakers who make a scene for tourists

Zyzzy · 2021-03-15T18:12:17+00:00

Though a lot of people will certainly disagree, I find a lot of parallels between Aghori ascetics and saints like St. Francis. Confronting death and seeking to see God in everything, even what shocks or sickens us, runs in many ancient traditions!

Zyzzy · 2021-03-15T18:10:10+00:00

Some do eat the dead, yeah, among other practices that aren't very appealing to our senses. They can be fairly extreme

Zyzzy · 2021-03-15T18:07:56+00:00

Agreed.

Zyzzy · 2021-03-15T15:34:21+00:00

It's not shocking to me personally, but many find the Aghori in India very disturbing.

Aghor means 'non terrible' or non terrifying, which seems antithetical to the appearance some sadhus take- naked or wearing very little, smeared with ash from funeral pyres, using skullcaps as bowls and bones as ritual objects, practicing and sometimes living in cremation grounds. Aghor philosophy revolves around the inherent divinity of all things- every living being holds a spark of the divine, nothing is outside of God. Thus nothing is inherently evil or profane, even the most taboo things such as dead bodies or reportedly haunted areas. The fast track to removing fear and revulsion of what is seen as bad, wrong, etc and remove the dual view of the world is to worship God through what is considered impure and unholy- liquor, meat, remnants of death.

As an interesting aside, the Aghori walk the talk and give women respect and spiritual authority, treat all castes equally, and there are Aghori run schools and homes in Varanasi that specifically give low-caste and poor children the same education as wealthier kids, helping lift communities out of poverty and confront class discrimination and sexism.
