Adoration of
Selene's Wisdom
O dea Selene, lucis et noctis regina,
Te adoro sub caelis serenitate divina.
Tua dona, intuentia et sapientia,
In cor meum descendat, tua potentia.
Adintra me, Selene, in tenebras mentis meae,
Ut lumen tuum inveniam, per teque laetor beae.
Sub caelo stellato tuae noctis clare,
Da mihi sapientiam, in lumine tuae lunae.
O goddess Selene, queen of day and night,
I worship you under the divine celestial light.
Your gifts of intuition and wisdom, so pure,
Descend into my heart, your power to endure.
Enter within me, Selene, the depths of my mind,
So I may find your light and be joyously aligned.
Beneath the starry sky of your radiant night,
Grant me wisdom in the glow of your moon's light.

“Let us give masculinity back its flowering wand of reciprocal relationship with the natural world. Let us call Dionysus to the gates of our cities and homes. A man who can dance with plants and honor beasts, a man who can be a woman and an androgen and an animal, is more than a gender. He is a celebration. A hive of humming bees. A secret network of fungus ready to erupt as the air moistens. A murmuration of birds. A cluster of grapes. A throng of singing women. A magician.”
— Sophie Strand, The Flowering Wand: Rewilding the Sacred Masculine

Why am I songwriting all of a sudden? Astrology girlies tell me what’s taking over…
Okay, so as time has unfurled it’s come to my attention that “The Idol” was a set up. They shot at The Weekend’s home, that’s why there weren’t many sets. It felt wonky because we were just watching music videos for The Weekend…this is getting to be too much for my wobbly heart to take.
No no no NO! “The Idol” could’ve been directed by a WOMAN until The Weekend got his grubby little man hands on it and disliked its “female perspective”? Gold to lead, I guess :/
I could literally NEVER get into Teen Wolf. There, I said it. It feels like unless you find the main characters hot, which I only liked Stiles, it just feels like I’m listening to an Alpha podcast gone wrong.
I kind of feel like “The Idol” got a bad run. The finale showed how engaging it could’ve been if the project didn’t make smut its number one goal. I’m obsessed with getting inside looks at the rich and famous through dramas like “Gossip Girl”, but I wish The Idol explored other aspects of fame as opposed to…The Weekend…
I’m going to name my twins Rugrat-One and Rugrat-Two because it’s not illegal and it would make everyone they ever meet giggle
Happy 4th of July to Dolly and Dolly alone! She’s the only one who matters today, why are you all disagreeing with me?
I want this summer to be different, but I can’t change if I’m doing the same thing on repeat. I need change, but familiarity is comforting
