feyosha: cadaverkeys: You guys rlly don’t realise how much knowledge is still not committed to the internet. I find books all the time with stuff that is impossible to find through a search engine- most people do not put their magnum opus research online for free and the more niche a skill is the less likely you are to have people who will leak those books online. (Nevermind all the books written prior to the internet that have knowledge that is not considered “relevant” enough to digitise). Whenever people say that we r growing up with all the world’s knowledge at our fingertips…it’s not ne ..read more

We are hoping to do most of a promotional push this year for CritWitchCon and our free Witches’ Brews by @criticalthinkingwitches this year. We suspect there are more critical thinking witches, pagans, and curious folks that didn’t know they needed or were interested in what we are doing. I guess in the past we had expected more pushback from the general witch community, but it hasn’t happened. We are gearing up for our 4th CritWitchCon and trying to think of ways to reach out to folks who might be interested in what we are doing. We have some leads but any other thoughts would be great. Let m ..read more

I just zoomed in on the new hardiness zone map. The red dot is where my house is. I used to be 8b, now I’m at 9a… apparently across the street and a block away is still 8b? All the people in the gardening groupsare chastising people for putting their plants out too early. “Don’t put your tomatoes out until after Mother’s day!” whatever, I have a fucking forest of tomatoes taking over my dining room and starting to get flowers. I know they shouldn’t go out until it’s 50 degrees at night, but it’s going to be consistently over 47, my heater vents out right where I’m putting tomatoes and I’m in ..read more

Fiiiiiiiiine. In my effort to make less effort I may have neglected to mention that the context here is animism. Which, as you probably know, is not a monolith. There are various beliefs labeled "animistic" and they differ on some points, so keep that in mind. A lot of people take "spirit" to mean "consciousness" which is not necessarily the case. But again, animism is a broad label, so it's not necessarily not the case, either. Of course, defining consciousness is a whole other can of worms, but let's try not to get too hung up on that. Basically, you can recognize the personhood of a non-hum ..read more
