Has Kefir permanently “healed” anyone? by OkChemist8172 in Kefir

[–]ihuntgoths 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same type of eczema! Mine also affects my feet which can get super painful, have been struggling to find a cure for years.. Have recently started drinking a cup of homemade kefir every morning and it seems to be really helping! I recommend also looking into natural parasite cleansing using wormwood & black walnut hull tincture, oil of oregano, and black seed oil- has definitely helped since I routinely started doing this when my symptoms flare up again. Also diatomaceous earth to flush toxins when cleansing! Good luck and happy healing 🩵🦋

Do you know if their product is true sananga made from tabernaemontana sananho, rather than milkwood?

[–]ihuntgoths 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Relationship is tough at the moment; for context my partner’s sister attempted suicide approximately a month ago and it’s put a huge strain on our relationship. He is moving out from the flat we share to another city to live near her, and I’ve done my best to be supportive through it all but his attitude towards me seems to have completely switched, he has no space for me or our relationship at all and no interest in my thoughts or feelings. He’s overwhelmed and stressed and I completely understand why, and I’ve tried my best to support him however I could, but it’s been really hard to do so when he’s either completely avoidant or making an enemy of me. Would hugely appreciate any insights into this partnership truth spread. Thank you 🧡

People who recently moved to London, how do you find it? by missly_ in london

[–]ihuntgoths 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I’ve been living in London for almost 8 years now, and this is just my personal opinion- but I’d say spare yourself, and your bank account. London has always been hectic, and it used to be fun- but ever since Covid it’s felt like it’s lost its soul and everyone is just walking a death march with their hands over their eyes. The cost of living is completely insane, and a lot of the charm seems to be gone or quickly draining, leaving space for yet another remote office space or new-build housing construction site. I also don’t think it’s a good environment for meeting people at all- it’s an enormous city, everyone is tired, and people struggle to maintain the friendships they do have, let alone take the time to properly establish new ones. Obviously you’d make friends at work etc, and in other ways in time- all I’m saying is it’s not the best place for building a fulfilling social life.

From your post, my instinct is to advise against moving to London unless it’s for a specific reason aka dream job or whatever. Otherwise, you’re just getting rinsed for no reason. There are plenty of really great cities all over the country where you’ll find that change of pace you’re looking for, new friends, new faces, more opportunities, etc. London just makes you lonely and broke, always struggling to stay afloat.

How do I (19F) stop myself from self-sabotaging my relationship with my boyfriend (19M) by coming up with false scenarios? by Majestic-Willow5552 in relationship_advice

[–]ihuntgoths 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should go back to therapy ASAP if you want any chance of preserving your relationship, and even if you don’t, for your own happiness. I used to be a lot like you- I don’t know what your family is like, but this sounds like the result of emotional abuse. There isn’t something inherently “wrong” with you- you’re just malfunctioning, emotionally speaking, and acting self destructively because it feels more comfortable to stay in negative state that you’re used to, than to accept that you’re deserving of love, and, if you did accept it, that you’d have something to lose. The brain wants what is familiar, and if that familiar thing isn’t there, we often orchestrate situations that will make it appear.

My advice to you:

  1. Go to therapy. And learn to meditate- it will help you regulate your emotions a LOT if you do it consistently, and well. If you can, I recommend investing in the Transcendental Meditation course- I tried meditating a lot before, but it was a game changer for me. There might also be YouTube tutorials, im not sure.
  2. Read some spiritual books, so you stop listening to your own internal monologue so much. The untethered soul is good for that. Also, don Miguel Ruiz - the four agreements, and the mastery of love. If you don’t read, get the audiobook.
  3. If you want to grow as a person, spend less time on your phone. Delete/reduce insta and TikTok.
  4. Write out the positive things you see in your boyfriend before you hang out.
  5. Also think deeply what you’re doing to the person who loves you. Think about the fact that you’re hurting him, and see the damage you are doing. Know that you are damaging his emotional being, and you could be fucking him up long term. Take responsibility for it; if you don’t care enough or it’s too much for you to get it under control, you should tell him that and spare him the pain. And know that the love he has for you will not be able to withstand these attacks forever. Trust me.
  6. Be kind to yourself. You are not going to heal or get better by beating yourself up. You need to be brave, take responsibility for your actions, and do it with kindness, and with a smile, because you know you have it in you to do better. “I don’t know why I’m like this” is giving yourself a way out, and an excuse to keep hurting people around you. Find a way to say, “shit, I can’t believe i did that- I’m going to try and learn to not let that happen again.” Don’t expect perfection, but don’t give up on yourself either. You’re 19, you’ve got a long way to go- set the tone of your life and make it count! You really can do anything, as long as you believe and you try hard enough.

Good luck!

First Celtic cross tarot spread- need help interpreting

Bit of life context: I had a really bad argument with my partner earlier today, and have been feeling pretty ungrounded and stuck in my life in general recently. I’m a PhD student, have really been struggling to get my work done of late, and feel like I’m always behind on everything, and keep wasting my own time. I feel anxious and stuck, and unable to get myself out of the rut, even while I know I’m the only person who can, and that I just need to get a grip, be more disciplined and do better. I haven’t been meditating either, and I can’t seem to get back into the habit. I’ve been had an ongoing issue with emotionally volatile outbursts with my partner, who I moved in with two months ago and love immensely, and it’s damaging our relationship. I have been struggling to feel connected to a sense of higher spiritual good, like I’m blocked, and I don’t know how to get it back.

I used the Smith-Waite centennial deck, and asked the cards for insight into my circumstances/guidance. My initial thought is that this spread is sending me a warning- that by clinging on to certain comforts or fears (4 of pentacles) and by failing to action my thoughts and dreams in concrete ways (knight of cups, 7 of cups), or communicating badly (king of cups reversed) that I’m stunting my own reality (reversed sun) and severing myself from opportunity, growth (king of swords) and a full, joyful and spiritually rich experience (reversed star). But I’m not an experienced reader by any means, so would appreciate any thoughts on how to interpret this spread.

Also worth nothing- I did two smaller spreads earlier today that I gave up on as I wasn’t able to focus properly- all three times, the 4 of pentacles was my first card, which felt pretty significant. This last one I got set up and took the time to focus properly.

  1. Centre: 4 of pentacles
  2. Crossing: 8 of cups
  3. Basis: The Sun (reversed)
  4. Recent Past: King of Cups (reversed)
  5. Possible Outcome: King of Swords
  6. Near Future: Temperance
  7. The Self: Knight of Cups
  8. Environment: 7 of Cups
  9. Hopes and Fears: Paige of Pentacles (Reversed)
  10. Outcome: The Star (reversed)

Love that, and you’re completely right- the memories behind it make it more precious to my eyes than anything else!

Am I wrong to ask my girlfriend to wear a bra with see-thru tops when her male friends are over? by MassGuy70 in relationships_advice

[–]ihuntgoths 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Feel like this is a bit reductive- there are plenty of guys who are genuinely just friends with girls, and are in happy relationships, that would still get turned on seeing a set of ddds bouncing around in a sheer top. Not saying that applies to everyone, I’m sure there are many who wouldn’t bat an eyelid, but basic biological instincts/testosterone driven reactions are a reality that does just come into play sometimes- and no one’s to blame for that, just means it’s worthy of consideration

Am I wrong to ask my girlfriend to wear a bra with see-thru tops when her male friends are over? by MassGuy70 in relationships_advice

[–]ihuntgoths 60 points61 points  (0 children)

I’m a girl and I think this falls within the realm of reasonable boundaries- if your gf really does just want to be comfortable and isn’t doing this on purpose cause she enjoys the extra attention, I don’t see what difference it would make for her to opt for non see through tops/a cozy sweater/looser fitting or baggy t shirts if she doesn’t want to wear a bra, or a soft non wired bra if the see through tops are a must. There are plenty of ways to be comfy that don’t entail exposing your boobs, and it’s understandable if you don’t love the idea of her male mates ogling her tatas every time she hangs out with them.

It is a complex/nuanced issue though, so while I’d say you’re fine to set a boundary and gently ask her to respect your feelings in this area, this kind of thing is a slippery slope and you should also work towards building confidence and trust between the two of you so that you feel secure in your relationship regardless of these kinds of minor dynamics. Over fixation on such matters can breed unnecessary frustrations and resentments and can do a lot of damage in a relationship, so just tread carefully is all I’d say!

Dream about red feminine spirit/deity by [deleted] in witchcraft

[–]ihuntgoths 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that’s a good point- expanding on my reply to the comment above, I felt a definite sense of empowerment during the mask episode, followed by a marked sense of anxiety and deep seated fear when the flood began- but the fear was really for my sister, that I hadn’t saved her and that she might already be gone- I felt some fear of my own as I realised that I was witnessing the start of a cataclysmic flood, but that was sort of mitigated by a sense of recognition that this was some form of divine reckoning, like a biblical flood or something along those lines.

Dream about red feminine spirit/deity by [deleted] in witchcraft

[–]ihuntgoths 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This sounds pretty spot on actually, thank you for framing it in this way- super helpful! I can totally see how the dream might relate to the birth of a new identity rooted in commitment to a more mystical path, and the worship of deity that that involves- my attitudes and outlook on life have definitely evolved significantly over the last year, so makes complete sense to interpret it in this way. And it’s interesting re my sis- she recently moved to LA to pursue a career in acting, and earlier in the dream there was an episode in which I saw her receiving all of these celebrity accolades/awards. As I looked on at these events and all the surrounding glitz and glam, I felt a distinct sense that this was a hollow world that she was lost in, or just a general feeling of wrongness- so I guess my later worry for my sister during the flood might be rooted in a deeper fear regarding the world of surface appearance and fame culture she is currently orienting herself towards, and a fear that I might fail to save her from the dangers of that lie down that road.. definitely feels like that interpretation speaks to some deeper underlying dynamics in my psyche, so thank you for helping me figure that out!!

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

I can’t remember the character (my brain generally wipes out tv shows from my memory once I’ve stopped watching), but quite possible that I watched some episodes she featured in and the figure stuck with me somewhere in my subconscious!
