Love, Simon may have its issues, like everything, but it made me cry when I first watched it because it was the FIRST time I ever felt represented in the media.

The adults in it are amazing. His parents not caring and treating him the same. Ms Albright defending him in front of the whole school.The vice principal wearing the pride badge.

Simon's reaction to his forced outing. His raw emotion, the ugly crying, him distancing himself from the people he loves.

The whole scene with the ferris wheel, I SOBBED my heart out because I finally saw two gay people kiss on screen. I couldn't see myself in them (because they weren't women) but it made me so genuinely happy.

So yeah. Fuck the people that thought gay teens didnt need Love, Simon. I've seen a ton of straight movies and , while some might be cute, I've never actually FELT anything toward them.

I thought I wasnt a fan of love stories.

Turns out, I'm just not a fan of the same love stories done over and over and over again.

Ass it turns out, I'm only a fan of love stories that I can relate to.

Sea witchcraft

Sea witchcraft, also known as sea magic or ocean witchcraft, is a type of witchcraft that is centered around the sea and its energies. It is a form of nature-based spirituality that draws upon the elements of water, air, and earth, and the rhythms of the tides and the moon. Sea witches may focus on healing, divination, or protection, as well as working with sea creatures and the spirits of the ocean.

Here are some key practices and beliefs associated with sea witchcraft:

Connection to the Sea: Sea witches believe in the power of the ocean and its ability to heal and transform. They may feel a deep connection to the sea, and incorporate its energies into their daily practice.

Working with Water: Water is a central element in sea witchcraft, and sea witches may work with it in a variety of ways, such as using sea water in rituals, collecting rainwater for use in spells, or working with water crystals or gemstones.

Moon Magic: The phases of the moon and its connection to the tides is an important aspect of sea witchcraft. Sea witches may perform rituals or spells during specific moon phases, and use lunar correspondences in their practice.

Sea Creatures: Sea witches may work with the spirits of sea creatures, such as dolphins, whales, and sea turtles. They may also use shells, coral, or other oceanic items in their spellwork.

Protection Magic: Because the ocean can be dangerous and unpredictable, sea witches may focus on protection magic, using spells or charms to ward off negative energies or to protect sailors and fishermen.

Divination: Sea witches may use various forms of divination to gain insights and guidance, such as tarot, runes, or sea shell readings.

Weather Magic: The sea and the weather are closely connected, and sea witches may work with the energies of storms, wind, and rain. They may perform rituals to calm storms or to bring rain during droughts.

Sea witchcraft can be practiced both on land and at sea. Some sea witches may work by the ocean, incorporating natural items like shells, driftwood, and seaweed into their practice, while others may incorporate the essence of the sea into their practice by using items like sea salt, seashells, or sea-themed decor in their homes.

Sea witchcraft is a beautiful and powerful way to connect with the energies of the ocean and nature, and to deepen your spiritual practice.

Things that have helped me feel closer to my deities:

Praying before their altars (bonus points if you write your own)

Read books other than their myths (books you think they’d enjoy themselves)

Meditating with them

Learn about magickal subjects related to them

Dedicate a journal for notes and document experiences you have with that deity (including moments where they’ve assisted you and any divination conversations you’ve had with them)

Listen to their messages and follow through with them

Light incense that reminds you of them

Find artwork that feels like that deity and hang, print or save them

Divination Methods (Runes, Tarot, Pendulums, Bone Throwing, etc.)

Watch content on different subjects they’re related to (documentaries on death, relationships, crime, etc.)

Dedicate, care, and/or name pets, plants, plushies, etc to them

Learn not just their pantheon and myths but the culture that influenced them

Thinking of them in passing (like “hey that thing reminds me of *insert deity*”)

Talk casually at their altars and give them an itinerary of your day

Define your relationship with that deity and refer to them accordingly (if its a more formal/in reverence, use a formal title. if it’s warm/personal, use an affectionate name.)

Oh no, I got stuck looking at footage from the Golden Compass movie and now I’m having serious dæmon feels. Like, “a world where everyone has corporeal dæmons” feels.

A sparrow dæmon fetching things in the grocery store as their human walks by

A big cat dæmon walking down the street next to their young anxious human, disappearing in and out of street lights like a shadow, growling from deep inside their chest at people who could be a threat to their other half

A raptor dæmon flying overhead of their human riding a bike, tugging in their hair for teasing and the human swatting overhead and almost loosing balance

People carrying their dæmons on their shoulders. Just, carrying your dæ on your shoulder. It’s so important.

A monkey dæmon clinging to their human’s arm when they walk and jumping to the table as their human sit down to eat

A tiny mouse dæmon running under and around their person’s hands as they write on their computer

Dæmons of classmates touching noses when they see each other in the morning

Dæmons of lovers curling up together under the table as their humans share a romantic dinner

Dæmons of friends resting in a huge heap of unidentifiable feather and fur and scales when their humans have a movie night

A ferret dæmon wrapping themself around their person’s neck to keep them warm in the evening air

An otter dæmon acting coach to their human when they’re swimming, swimming around them and splashing water on them if they don’t swim fast enough

Children’s dæmons playing in secret under the tables when their humans have class, taking tiny forms to not be seen but giggling and scurrying so much they can’t be missed

A big sibling’s dæmon cheering up their crying little sibling by changing into a really colourful butterfly and fluttering around above their head

The thought of corporeal dæmons make me so happy, guys.
