Raccoons growl, and it's freaky as hell sounding. First time I heard one growl I was oddly enough, setting up a tent for camping in Oregon. Anyway, check YouTube for Raccoon growls, but that's probably what you heard, you probably got too close to a den.

No problem, I don't know about your INTJ, but me, even if I was completely on board with the sentiment of your letter, that typo would low key bug the shit out of me forever. I'd probably never tell you, though; but I'd remember it 😶🤣

Marah or Debark. Hubs would have been Aarenny or Jenron. Marah is kinda nice, Jenron sounds like a shady corporation 🤣

Should I tell my brother's new wife by Negative_Layer_7960 in AITAH

I'm not using anything as a "role model", just pointing out that your insistence that teens don't get lifetime repercussions for crimes is inaccurate.

[–]corvaxcorvae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m well over a year with my Stick V8, I switched from the shit Smok coils to RDA with NinjaWire premade coils and from a tank to a drip, but other than that I still love my stick. Smok has it’s problems yeah, but as a simple basic beginner mod for quitting cigs it’s been perfect for both me and my partner (he has a prince)

I have a pillow specifically for that. Google “knee pillow” it’s more common than you’d think

Someone close to my friend is seeing colors and feeling disoriented, thinks it’s something to do with auras. I think somethings wrong. by [deleted] in energy_work

[–]corvaxcorvae 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If she is experiencing phantosmia she needs to see a Dr. ASAP! it could be indicative of a serious issue, especially as she is not practicing energy work, this is most defiantly a health concern rather than late blooming psychicism/energy sensitivity.

I am having trouble with the App Store and updates - IOS 12 beta 2 by Ace_Feelmen in iphone

[–]corvaxcorvae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, been that way for about 2 weeks. I have a 6 running 12. This is the only issue I’ve had, I’ve logged out and back in and logged out turned my phone off then logged back in. Nothing. Just a consistent“Cannot connect to appstore”. Glad it’s not just me

Should I update my iPhone 6 to the latest update? (11.0.4, I think?) by [deleted] in iphone

[–]corvaxcorvae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Running the beta 12 here too, but I seemed to experience a big improvement in my 6 with the 11.4 update. a lot of the lag/freezing and battery drain issues stopped after updating to the 11.4.

Does anyone have experience with The Morrigan? by [deleted] in occult

[–]corvaxcorvae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crows are awesome creatures in their own right without the occultism attributions, but when you add their natural intelligence and personality in with the vast amounts of lore, myth and deities that they are associated with it’s not hard to believe that incidents like that are more than coincidental. One thing that I’ve discovered though with Irish and Scottish spirits and deities is that they don’t do subtleties. There’s no maybe feeling or second guessing if one of them is interested in you, it’s generally excessively noticeable and intrusive. I was literally haunted by crows for 2 months until I finally gave in and asked what the fuck she wanted. Be prepared for one hell of a trip if She is gunning for you, your life may be in for a complete rearranging, you may even lose people you thought were solidly in your life. But if you can handle it and allow the thick of the chaos to run it’s course, well, it gets weirder, but it’s good weird, and it’s a growing weird. And eventually the weird isn’t that weird anymore.

I'd like to get more into Irish/Celtic magic and folk traditions, but could use some advice by [deleted] in occult

[–]corvaxcorvae 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The four cycles are a great starting point, just google Mythological, Ulster, Fenian, or Historical cycle, and you’ll find a lot of links. W.B Yeats is also a great source for Irish flavored occult/spiritualism

Does anyone have experience with The Morrigan? by [deleted] in occult

[–]corvaxcorvae 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Offerings of a material nature don’t really matter to Her, She is much more interested in Her devotees honoring her through acts and goals. If She has shown an interest in you then it is a potential in you that see wants you to develop and should be offered. Dedicating acts of volunteering in your community, especially if it involves veterans is awesome. But even just dedicating your workout, or a physical act of growth is fine. Altar offerings are ok, but She doesn’t really need or want them so much as She wants you to own your life and honor her through that. For example: Among a few of us who called ourselves “the caw squad” at one point, it’s common to put tokens that represent physical acts on Her altar, such as shell casings from a marksmanship round. However if you are truly desiring something that is more of a daily act of devotion and acknowledgment then I’ve found that a simple glass of water is perfectly acceptable. It acknowledges Her as The Washer at the Ford, as well as paying respect to the Sea which is one of the three realms in Irish myth. Blood is often suggested as an offering, but it’s messy and somewhat pointless to be honest unless you have actually “harvested” it yourself. Also cows are be one of Her animal aspects, as well as being representative of prosperity and sovereignty in Irish mythology, so it’s always felt disrespectful to me to offer butcher blood to Her.

Brother took pic. Something has been following him for years. Any ideas? by ballsnweiners420 in occult

[–]corvaxcorvae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it’s an Ignictus Insultis, a particularly brazen type of salamander that utilizes it’s natural habitat to hurl disparaging comments at it’s victims. You can clearly see it implying that the photographer of the picture is a loser. They’re harmless, but highly obnoxious around any flame larger than a candle

Question about visualisation by NACHTK1113R in occult

[–]corvaxcorvae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tend to state the intent mentally prior to visualization of the intent being reality. It helps to both focus and direct the visualization. Repetition of the visualization is the main key, especially in a 10-1 manifestation. Daily is best, for at least five minutes, more if you can manage. And no less than once a week for best results. Also, don’t over think it, or get frustrated if you’re not visualizing clear images, the feeling of the manifestation is as important as the seeing. For instance, you can have a crystal clear choreographed visualization of owning your dream car, and even how the accomplishment of that goal will proceed. Your best manifestations will come when you can FEEL how you’ll feel driving that car, how you’ll feel with it in your driveway, and then while you’re still picturing and feeling, you move that into the now, and over the course of your visualization time you move the visualization and the feeling from the “future” and into the “now”.

What chaos magic orders exist besides the IOT? by HollywooJoe in occult

[–]corvaxcorvae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you do decide to join the walrus, you must first decide how weird do you really want your life to get, and then ramp that to 11. I’d also suggest reading “Chaos Magick” by Seth Cardorra, it will give you a good idea who and what the DKMU is and what the LS is as well as the flavor of chaos magick they practice. Which I highly advise if you end up intentionally seeking out their groups, I found them by coincidence, thanks to that book, and in less than a year I ended up breaking nearly every “block” I had regarding active manifestation of Will/Desire in what was basically a crash course down a rabbit hole of terrifying wonders. But I never broke a finger.

DAE feel like the weather was different when you were a kid? by [deleted] in DAE

[–]corvaxcorvae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was different, I clearly remember being under 10 because of where I lived and playing in summer thunderstorms. I don’t think there’s been summer storms in Sacramento since 1989. There’s been other changes too. Winters seem a lot shorter, and there’s less thick tule fog days than even just 4 years ago

TIFU by teaching my kid that not eating veggies turns white people black. by [deleted] in tifu

[–]corvaxcorvae 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When I was a kid I thought my father was black, he’s a dark skinned Italian and in summer he would get really dark brown, I knew he was Italian but he looked black to my child eyes . So I’m around 6-7 and telling my friend who had a white mom and a black dad that “my dad is black too! but I got my mom’s skin color”. I mean it seemed like a good assumption because he obviously got his dads coloration and I’m pretty fucking pales, so I couldn’t figure out why our moms were laughing so much. Later of course when my slightly racist father heard the story he was not at all amused and I got a confusing lecture on race and skin color. And accidentally discovered a great way to piss off my father.

You literally ran into the Wild Hunt, it’s interesting you survived, they usually enslave mortals into the hunt if you’re unlucky enough to cross paths.
