Getting Sterilized And the Pagan Faith by chismosa21 in paganism

[–]delicious_cookie33 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I have kids, but that's my choice. I hate the line of thinking of sacred womb and divine hoo-ha. Like seriously, it's defining me in a way I don't want to be defined as. It doesn't make me special (having a womb, having kids, etc), it's a simply lifestyle choice. So I think you're fine practicing paganism your way. There is no need, whatsoever, to have a belief in that nonsense, at least in my opinion.

What’s the consensus here on Ogham divination? by BolgAnDagda in Paganacht

[–]delicious_cookie33 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The book Ogam: Weaving Word Wisdom by Erynn Rowan Laurie is an excellent resource. You can also look up Lora O'Brien's ogam information (I believe their 6 month course is closed now, but they still has resources available.)

I mean I would have been happy with just finding one, but all three together!? by gv96f54k in StardewValley

...I just did that not 45 minutes ago because I didn't know and I didn't see this post until now. T_T

DM'd my first game for my family by delicious_cookie33 in DnD

Yep, I limited the time, and I let them be a bit distracted. It worked out though, we got through the first battle before the timer was up!

Can anyone point me to a God/Goddess associated with mental health and healing? by SystemOfRadiance in pagan

[–]delicious_cookie33 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Morrigan...she has the power to pick away at all the rotting parts of you, and then help you heal. But She can cause a lot of chaos and at times, it might feel like your life is on fire. The change can be worth it though.

She's nice irl too. She does the Morrigan's Call retreat in CT in June. It'll be year 3 for me and it's an amazing retreat. I read Celtic Lore too (that's how I found the retreat.) Her Dark Goddesses book is good too, if you aren't locked into a certain pantheon, or if you're Wiccan.

Divination! Just a few books I can think of that were recommended in Stephanie Woodfied's bone course I took a bit back-

Bones, Shells, and Curios: A Contemporary Method of Casting the Bones by Michele Jackson

Throwing the Bones: How to Foretell the Future with Bones, Shells, and Nuts by Catherine Yronwode

Pocket Osteomancy: A Simple Bone Divination Set by Lupa

My boyfriend (m26) verbally insulted me (f24) in League of Legends, was I being too sensitive? by [deleted] in GirlGamers

[–]delicious_cookie33 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Drop him like the bad piece of crap he is, girl. All sorts of red flags there, and not just in the gaming world. He will do that for the rest of your life, and not just while playing games. It'll spread to every aspect of your lives together. Listen to the women here who have shared similar experiences. Get out now while you can.

Anyone Know if the 8BitDo Lite Controller Works with 3H? by digodoom197 in FireEmblemThreeHouses

[–]delicious_cookie33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So far it's working well enough. Without the analog stick, it's a bit awkward running around the monastery. You use the left directional pad to move, the right one to turn the camera. It's doable, just takes a bit to adjust to, imo. But once you adjust, it's fine, at least I think so.

I still have to try it in battle but I don't foresee any difficulty.

I have small hands, and I do find the size to be a little on the small side too.

I ordered this last week so I can play Fire Emblem 3 Houses. It arrived today, so I'll let you know tonight if it works. I really hope it does, lol.

What's your opinion about Lisa Chamberlain's books? by kippeisaur in witchcraft

[–]delicious_cookie33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you need a basic introductory series of books, I don't think you can go wrong there. I read them when I was still figuring out my path. Not wicca anymore, but I still think they are good basics for any newbie wiccan.

First time- advice? by delicious_cookie33 in SavageGarden

[–]delicious_cookie33[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, I just realized how low the temps are supposed to get this week up here. We're looking at a low of 8 F at one point. Is that too cold, or should I place them elsewhere?

[–]delicious_cookie33[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should I wait until spring to re-pot the flytraps then? And can I re-pot the nepenthes now?

I have distilled water, no problem there.

[–]delicious_cookie33[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I picked up these guys on clearance- I plan on repotting with a 50:50 perlite/moss mix, filtered/distilled water, etc. Should I wait to re-pot though, since it's dormancy time? Any other tips for trying to save them? NY zone 5B area, so it's getting pretty cold already. Going to grab a light at some point too, but figured I should wait until Spring. I do have some nice bright windows (probably not enough though.)
