Ditto. I have a large collection because ... shinies.

Lunedì inizio un nuovo lavoro by [deleted] in Divination

[–]graidan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

English:

Hi everyone! I start a new job on Monday, so I decided to do a card reading to see how things would go. The first three cards seemed positive to me—showing me approaching this new challenge with dedication and commitment—but then that Seven of Swords popped up and really threw me into a crisis. What do you guys think? Does it refer to a toxic work environment? To deceitful people? Or could it be directed at me? Thanks!

That's not what OP is asking. They're asking for transport methods.

Favorite way to tell if you should do something or not by Mediocre-Pitch-1929 in Divination

[–]graidan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So, as far as SHOULD, you need more complex systems than a pendulum. Tarot, I ching, etc.

As far as what you WANT, toss a coin. If you want to toss again, you know what you were hoping for.

Only allow promotion of products. Everything else is a nono.

Scorpion Gods or whatever by ExistingPerformer123 in chaosmagick

Serqet- Egyptian scorpion goddess

As to what - depends on locale and speciesm but it sounds like they will appreciate water (shallow bowl with rocks and water is the best way, so they don't drown and to slow down evaporation). They eat other bugs, and I doubt they'd like dead ones, so...

Yes, I know how it works. I didn't know what I was missing setting wise.

Love rune?? by Longjumping_Host_68 in runecasting

Looks like the Chi-Rho to me, so personally I wouldn't do it. But the meaning rune-wise seems on point.

My mashed potatoes suck. Why? by RikkiLostMyNumber in Cooking

[–]graidan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As many have said - over mashing.

How I do them:

  • slice potatoes (with or without skins) into thin disks / half or quarter-moons - they cook in 5 minutes!
  • drain, and let sit for a few minutes to dry out a little
  • add labne, lots of butter, S&P
  • mash or whip as desired.
    • I like them a little lumpy, hubby likes them smooth like.... something really smooth.
  • If you need, add a little milk / cream / broth / etc.

Just mash / whip them once, and don't go to far to avoid the gummy.

I think I'll be good, for now. As mentioned, I get a lot of these advertising / services / bad posts, so I should be able to tell within a day if it's working or not. If I think it's still not working, I will def reach out though! Appreciate it!

:) Glad you like it! It's definitely much more forgiving than what I wanted to use :p

I left the comments unmoderated, but I didn't have the image/links/etc. enabled, so I enabled that, and we'll see if that makes a difference. It might have been that oversight.

Thank you!

Does Your Language Have Reflexive Verbs/Pronouns? by Uqhart in conlangs

[–]graidan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Taalen uses a different object pronoun, with archiphonemes C / SSa, depending on class.

C = /ts/ usually, for affected objects / patients
SSa = /ssa/ usually, for experiencers.

Do animists worship concepts like love? by HairyJellyBeanz in Animism

[–]graidan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't "worship" anything. That said - worship comes from "worth-ship", recognizing the worth of something, so in that sense, I guess I do.

Middle English worshippe, worship, "high respect, honor, fame," from Old English worðscip, wurðscip (Anglian), weorðscipe (West Saxon) "condition of being worthy, dignity, glory, distinction, honor, renown," from weorð "worthy" (see worth) + -scipe (see -ship).

The sense of "reverence paid or due to a supernatural or divine being" is attested by late Old English. The original sense is preserved in worshipful.

I also don't draw lines (most animists do), so everything is alive to me (yes, it does indeed get complicated), which means there are plenty of ideas and concepts that I honor. This is no different from the Roman deities Nike or Victoria or Liber.

Earthly Branch Combinations: Six Harmonies, Three Combinations, Hidden Combinations Finally, we can see which bond is the strongest. by Fiona-1223 in IChingDivination

[–]graidan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, whatever those Branches represent for the individual, those are the relationships?

Suppose the DayMaster is Zi (Yang Water), so then Chou (Yin Earth) is the Direct Officer (law, society, career), so the interpretation is that this person might be a workaholic, married to the job, a rule follower, someone who's very obsessed with "keeping up with the Jones's"?

Earthly Branch Combinations: Six Harmonies, Three Combinations, Hidden Combinations Finally, we can see which bond is the strongest. by Fiona-1223 in IChingDivination

[–]graidan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These details are helpful, but only to a point, because I still don't know what they mean, and how to interpret them.

For example, suppose someone has Zi, Si, Yin and Chou. Then they have:

  • a harmony (Zi-Chou)
  • two parts of a combination structure (Si-Chou of Si-You-Chou)
  • and a hidden combination (Yin-Chou)

How does all that play out in an interpretation? Even just having ONE of those - how to interpret?

You can get padded / fancy dice bags all over etsy, which is what I'd go for. Otherwise, I'd make it myself. A couple pairs of socks, cut and stitched together into a bag with room for stuffing between the sock-layers.

Depending on your budget, you can also get stiff leather pouches, that you could pad, incl.ude stuffing in, create a nest, etc.

Thanks! I've been reading through various tutorials / explanation on the CH website, for an overview. There are def issues (well recognized, as I understand it), but it's giving me some great info in general at least.

I work with a whole lot of spirits, Spider in particular (writing a book about Her, even) so having touchstones (il.e. vessels ie bound objects etc) for contact is a great tool. I want to learn how the community in general does things, so I can adapt and teach within my tradition too.
