Dear fellow misophonia sufferers...

⚠️⚠️TW:DRUGS/ALCOHOL⚠️⚠️

Do any of you notice a significant difference in your trigger tolerance depending on the..substances...you’ve taken? Personally, I can handle a lot more when I’ve had a good few drinks but I’m much more sensitive after smoking

Hold a Samhain Rite to Honor the Forgotten Dead

Samhain is a time in which many Pagans honor the spirits of their ancestors. For something a little different, celebrate Samhain with a ritual honoring the forgotten dead.

This is a great article for those preparing their Samhain rites & honor the dead, but also remember the ones that have been forgotten & have no one to mourn them.

Here’s something else I made, Reblog if you are anti maps

crystal shape meanings in my grimoire. 

My Biggest Problem

Miso isn’t my biggest problem anymore. I know you’re gonna be like, 

“Bullh*ck, misophonia is the worst thing that ever happened to me, it’s ruined everything, ect.!!” 

But, my young, young dudes, I have some news. Adulthood is surprising as h*ck and has a lot of bumps and turns and I never anticipated in my whole of angsteenager existence that there would be life after miso.

For example, if anyone’s watched the video (x) I posted a hot while ago, they’d see that I’ve come out as ftm transgender and I’ve left home. I got engaged in December to @living-with-miso, my longtime Tumblr crush and we’re getting married next month.

 My type 3 Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) exploded into wondering each day if I can walk or use my hands. 

My computer broke. I need to buy socks. The milk in the fridge is expired.

And I know that mostly sounds like, 

“Gee, thanks Stephan, so you’re saying everything gets worse?” 

but man, I actually would say I’ve never been happier. 

You see, when you move out, you move away from the people who trigger you the most in the world: your family. You may have new people who trigger you, like a roommate, but eventually, you’re gonna be in a situation where you can more or less have total control over your environment. Make sure you choose a life partner that accepts every inch of you, and don’t settle for anything less.

When you grow up, you’ll be able to manage your life in a way you can control, to an extent. You literally don’t even have to attend classes in person anymore, almost anything is available online! Yeah, you’ll have days where you just want to rip your ears off and replace your hands with chainsaws because you need to attend job training, attend a family BBQ, or hurriedly make an Irish exit to said BBQ, but that’s not going to be the majority of your life anymore.

And that’s where I’m at. I’m out from the influence of more “adult” adults at the age of 22 and am finally the captain of my own life. 

Which is terrifying, but empowering. I decide if I can attend gatherings, I decide if I want to leave, I decide if I want to stay inside and live on the internet, I decide if I can live with my partner, and I decide if I want to eat cookies for breakfast unless Ashley is home and and tells me no cookies for breakfast (#marriage). 

And if anyone (other than my future wife) has a problem with the way I live my life or make decisions, guess what? I can decide to take my Scissors of H*ck You and cut them right the h*ck out of my beautiful rainbow life.

I may not have the power to decide whether or not I have misophonia, whether my hands work on any given day, or whether or not I have sensory meltdowns, but I can decide how I handle these things.

So I guess my point today is that miso life gets better once you’ve grown up. If you can make it that far, you’ll be happier. And god, I wish my teenage self had known how happy I would one day be. Thank god I decided to stick around.

So stick around, guys. Your life may look like shooty macaroni art, but it’s just practice at this point. One day, you’ll be Bob Ross and decide when and where your next happy little tree goes.

Stay Brave Out There, Stephan [soon-to-be] Vomacka

How to cleanse your room of bad energy

- Open the window and let fresh air and sunlight flow through the room. Also keep the door open if you can.

- Since your bed is a huge part of the bedroom, strip your bedding and throw it in the wash.

- Quickly tidy up any clutter. This doesn’t need to be a huge job. Just tackle the main things like dirty laundry and dirty dishes.

- Light an incense and walk around the room with it. Hold the incense for a while in each corner, behind furniture, and around any new items you have brought into your room that need to be cleansed. 

- Fill a spray bottle with water, salt, and your favourite essential oil (I recommend lavender for the bedroom) and spray it around your room in any spots you still feel negative energy. 

- An alternative to spraying salt water is you can sprinkle salt around your room and then vacuum it up.

- Still feel negative energy? Walk around your room and clap! This works wonders.

- Once your bedding is clean and dry, make your bed with it. 

You’re done! You will probably feel a lot better. You don’t have to do all of these things at once. If you don’t have much time or energy but need to cleanse, just try doing one of these things.

Tips for Making Sigils

* Learn the arrangement of the Seven Planets (also called the Chaldean):   Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Sun, Venus, Mercury, Moon.

* If you have a Android powered smart phone, download the Planetary Times app to help you become more familiar with the planetary times as well as what each planet represents.

* Try to create the sigil during the matching planetary hour to increase its magical properties and power.

* Decide which planet best matches your sigil intention.  Some examples for planetary associations and intentions are:

Saturn: Constrain or prevent someone from doing harm

Jupiter: Draw wealth and prosperity

Mars: Evoke strength and courage to face an intimidating situation

Sun: Improve health

Venus: Attract a lover, friendship, love

Mercury: Instill mental clarity and balance

Moon: Increase psychic ability

* Use a pen with the matching corresponding planetary colored ink:

Saturn: Black

Jupiter: Purple or Blue

Mars: Red

Sun: Gold

Venus: Green

Mercury: Grey (Pencil Color)

Moon: Silver

* Burn appropriate planetary incense while creating your sigil:

Saturn: Roots such as Costus or Mandrake (WARNING: Mandrake can be toxic)

Jupiter: Fruits and Spices such as Nutmeg, Cloves, Orange Peels

Mars: Woods such as Cypress, Balsam, Sulfur, Dragon’s Blood

Sun: Resinous Gums such as Mastic, Storax, Copal, or Amber

Venus: Flowers such as Roses or Saffron

Mercury: Rinds and Sweet Seeds such as Cinnamon or Cassia

Moon: Leaves such as Myrtle or Laurel

* Condense the intention/desire of your sigil into 1 or 2 words. *If creating a sigil to affect a particular person, write the person’s first and last name.

* Use the following conversion chart to match letters to numbers: 1:A, 2:B, 3:C, 4:D, 5:E, 6:F, 7:G, 8:H, 9:I, 10:J, 20:K, 30:L, 40:M, 50:N, 60:O, 70:P, 80:Q, 90:R 100:S, 200:T, 300:U, 400:V, 500:W, 600:X, 700:Y, 800:Z, 900:&

An example would be HEALTH>>> H=8, E=5, A=1, L=30, T= 200, H=8

* If you are using a number that is too high to fit into a designated square, divide the number by 10 or 100 until it can fit.

* Use the following planetary number squares to help create your sigil.

Sun:     4   9   2             3   5   7             8   1   6 Jupiter:      4   14   15   1                   9    7    6   12                   5   11   10   8                  16   2    3   13

Moon:      37  78  29  70  21  62  13  54   5                  6   38  79  30  71  22  63  14  46                 47  7   39  80  31  72  23  55  15                 16  48   8   40  81  32  64 24  56                 57  17  49   9   41  73  33  65  25                 26  58  18  50   1  42  74  34   66                 67  27  59   10  51  2  43  75  35                 36  68  19   60  11  52  3  44  76                 77  28  69   20  61 12  53  4   45 

* When making a sigil, you can use a light table or piece of white cardboard to help you see and trace the design.

* Begin the sigil by denoting you first letter by making a small circle on the top sheet of paper over the first letter’s corresponding number. * Use straight lines to connect each successive letter/number until you’ve spelled out the entire word.

* You can draw either angles or curves when you change directions during the process. 

* Signify repeating letters or numbers with a half circle.

* End each sigil with a small, anchoring square or transverse line on the last letter/number.

* You can add 2 sequential letters’ numbers together to obtain a third number.   Example:  In H E A L T H. A= 1 + L= 30 equals 31.  The same concept can        be applied to reduced numbers as well.  T= 200= 20 plus H= 8 equals 28.

* One your sigil is created, you can play around with this shape and position to heighten its power and symbolism.

* When you finally get a sigil looking the way you intended, you can close the sigil with 2 concentric circles to turn it into a magical seal.
