Yo creo que desde muy pequeño mi desdicha y mi dicha, al mismo tiempo, fue el no aceptar las cosas como me eran dadas. A mí no me bastaba con que me dijeran que eso era una mesa, o que la palabra madre era la palabra madre y ahí se acaba todo. Al contrario, en el objeto mesa y en la palabra madre empezaba para mí un itinerario misterioso que a veces llegaba a franquear y en el que a veces me estrellaba. En suma, desde pequeño, mi relación con las palabras, con la escritura, no se diferencia de mi relación con el mundo en general. Yo parezco haber nacido para no aceptar las cosas tal como me son dadas.

La esfera de Pascal
La historia universal continuó su curso, los dioses demasiado humanos que Jenófanes atacó fueron rebajados a ficciones poéticas o a demonios, pero se dijo que uno, Hermes Trismegisto, había dictado un número variable de libros, en cuyas páginas estaban escritas todas las cosas. Fragmentos de esa biblioteca ilusoria, compilados o fraguados desde el siglo III, forman lo que se llama el Corpus Hermeticum; en alguno de ellos, o en el Asclepio, que también se atribuyó a Trismegisto, el teólogo francés Alain de Lille descubrió a fines del siglo XII esta fórmula, que las edades venideras no olvidarían: “Dios es una esfera inteligible, cuyo centro está en todas partes y su circunferencia en ninguna”.

Possibly, I’m not saying I run a Dan Humphrey’s style gossip blog out of my attic, or anything. But you gotta know everything about everyone if you want them to see you as their divine ruler. Gotta keep my title, you know? Dude, don’t give me that mysterious shit, I wanna know. Yours just happens to be a damn handsome motherfucker and multi-talented, go figure.
That’s smart, dude, that’s smart. I bet you feel pretty powerful, knowing shit about everybody. But mysterious shit is my thing, have you not caught onto that already? That may be true, but I can also be a piece of shit sometimes.

When we hold on to excess stress, it creates a blockage in our personal energy system. Imagine that your is body filled with tiny, invisible wires that carry energy from one point to the next. When you hold on to stress in a certain area, you tie a knot in the wires that keeps energy from flowing smoothly to the rest of your body. This can manifest as fatigue, lack of motivation, overwhelm, or other mental and physical symptoms. This spell is designed to untie those knots and let the energy flow freely.
This spell is very loosely adapted from the book Light Magic for Dark Times by Lisa Marie Basile, which I highly recommend for anyone looking to bring witchcraft into their self care practice or vice versa.
What you will need:
A piece of white paper
A pen or pencil
A bowl or cup of clean, fresh water (water from the tap is fine!)
(Optional) a few drops of lavender essential oil
Performing the spell:
Set aside some time when you can be alone and won’t be disturbed. If you like, set the mood by lighting candles, burning incense, or playing music. If you chose to include lavender oil, add it to the water now.
On the paper, write a detailed description of the situation that is causing you stress, and of how it makes you feel. Be as specific as possible. What emotions do you feel? Are there physical sensations associated with these emotions? Where in your body do you feel them? (If you are more comfortable drawing than writing, draw a picture that represents your situation and how it makes you feel.)
Keep writing/drawing until you run out of things to say. Get a second piece of paper if you need to. Don’t worry about making it pretty or even legible. What matters is that you get the emotions out and onto the page.
Fold the paper in half, folding it away from yourself; rotate it to the left and fold it again; rotate to the left again and fold one more time for a total of three folds. With each fold, repeat out loud or in your head, “I acknowledge these feelings and I let them go. I release.”
Submerge the folded paper in the bowl of water. Make sure it is completely covered. Watch it soak through, and watch the ink bleed from the paper.
Say, “Spirits of water, keepers of emotion and the subconscious, spirits of healing, help me to cleanse and release. Help me restore my energy.”
Allow the envelope to soak in the water for at least an hour before disposing of it.

Me da miedo darle mi confianza a las personas, me da pánico llegar a amar intensamente. Cada vez que lo intento me decepciono más y creo un poco menos en que exista algo sincero.
