remember why you started

wednesday 14/07/2024

today was an absolutely beautiful day

♫ bestfriend - satellite lovers ♫

small things we should appreciate more

the chirping of birds in the early morning

the way the sun shines through the trees

nature after it just rained

constantly learning new things every day

libraries, bookshops, bakeries and coffeeshops

All the things that made my life full—sciences, not the least of them—an ever-unfolding journey of discovery where every question opens a new world of answers

friendly reminder that notes do look like a mess 90% of the time and it’s ok!!

5.13.25 - rant and exam update

i'm currently going insane. i failed my discrete math assessment by this much 👌🏻 last week and i'm knee deep in prep to retake it this week. the problem is i need my apartment to be completely free of any humans besides me and my boyfriend is coming over thursday night because we're flying out super early friday morning to go to a wedding.

basically, i have today to get all of my retake requirements done so i can attempt to take the exam tomorrow or kick the boyfriend out thursday night for a couple hours so i can get a proctor slot. my course end date is saturday and i've extended this end date three times since the start of the semester and i just want to be done with this classsssss. self-studying a subject you are not naturally good at is another type of hell.

on a good note, went to the gym consistently this weekend and went on a very nice walk by the river (pictured above).

will update on monday if i'm still alive or not on a pysch hold from stress :)

77/100 days of productivity!

Saturday reset mode: activated. You’re building something bigger than just a productive day—you’re building resilience, discipline, and balance. Keep going!

research resources

The Eye - An internet library of all sorts of things, not just occult books, but its got a good assortment of those.

PDF drive - it has like, over a million free pdfs. no signup or anything. they got some good occult books there

Academia.edu - I found a link to Azoetia there, and there are likely more occult books available, but unfortunately you have to sign up. LOTS of free books tho

Grimoire Encyclopedia - the shriveled monkey's paw that is grimoire magic. contains spells and spirits from the actual grimoires themselves, and sorts them all very nicely.

Esoterica Archives - it's got that old-internet type vibe, and i quite like it. crazy amount of occult books here, a lot of the grimoires from Grimoire Encyclopedia can be read online here.

Holybooks - its like Esoterica Archives, but with an updated forum feel. People add in the pdfs themselves, like PDF Drive. it's got a wide array of different religious texts

l-o-r-e - a sadly abandoned website now, all about the folklore of food. contains quite a few good recipes, if you want em. this website makes me hungry

pantheon - contains numerous articles on folklore all around the world

theoi - everyone knows about this, right? greek mythology, absolutely excellent.

here's an edible flower chart, yknow, just incase

pinecone.pub - don't hear much about this one anymore, but i quite like it still. good.. inspiration

sigilscribe - it makes sigils for you

scihuß - iirc it moves domains every so often, but its an excellent resource for academic papers.

biblestudytools (psalms) - i find that this format makes it easy to find the specific psalms you want much faster, yknow, for you bastards who don't have a book on hand ;p

planetaryhours.net - calculates the planetary hours for you, for you magicians and witches alike who can't do it by hand

and of course, my favorite, google.com, (or duckduckgo, if you're pirating or just hate google.)
