Dear Tumblr Occultists (that includes all you pagans, thelemites, ceremonial magicians, satanists, wiccans, witches, et al., except you re-constructionists, you’ll never learn) 

As a forty-two year old human being, I feel like I shouldn’t have to do things like this anymore but obviously there’s a need.

Why do you waste your time telling people their interpretation of a symbol/deity/practice is wrong?

Why is it wrong? Because some book told you otherwise? Because a bunch of other people believe differently?

Could it be that what they are expressing is their own personal interpretation of the mystery? Could it be that it is no less valid than anyone else’s? 

Have you ever stopped and asked, “why did you interpret it that way?” Maybe they have a good reason.

Maybe the reason you are a shitty magician is that you are unable to grasp the idea that things can have multiple meanings and definitions, sometimes even totally opposite, at the same time.

If someone has a different interpretation of something and can’t justify their reasoning, just move on. Don’t waste your time and look like an asshole trying to tell them the “correct” meaning.

There is no correct meaning.

There is no “is.”

Nothing remains true. All limits change.

Trent Reznor Rides a Unicorn In Fan-Made ‘Everything’ Video.

I haven’t finished the whole album yet, so I can’t pass judgement yet.   But I do think he’s still finding himself.  Which is a good thing and I think his music has reflected this every step of the way.  Granted I miss the Days of 1999, high school and the Fragile album.   Hit Music has always had a Melody that I was able to follow that really put me in another world.  It’s kinda hard to describe but it was a really deep personal spiritual experience listing to his music.  and I do still find it in his music today.  Keep exploring yourself Trent! Don’t hold back for any of us!

We will always love you, but this is funny. X3

Djehuti (Thoth)

As recorder of the Akashic record, Djehuti is the source of all knowledge per­taining to the past and present. He brings dignity to learning and assists in tests of skill. This Neter is also prosecuting attorney in the law court of the gods, the counselor and judge on behalf of Heru’s petition when Set made false claims on the throne of Egypt. As such he allows just claims to be made and false accusa­tions to become null.

Principle: Resonance. The energy dynamic of Djehuti breaks through mental barriers; it allows facts to become known and secrets to be revealed. His powers are concerned with cosmic memory and access to ancient wisdom.

Function: Communication. Djehuti assists in the delivery of messages and in­ formation, and the discovery of lost knowledge. He is one of the patrons of div­inatory activities, but he communicates more directly with the mind rather than through oracular tools such as magic mirrors and geomantic figures. He may be called upon when learning new skills and languages (especially symbol systems), as he is patron of scholars and scribes. He eases mental confusion and will come to the aid of the person who diagnoses or repairs equipment, tools, and machinery.

Associated deities: Khans, the Lunar deity of transitory phenomena; Shu, the Neter of cosmic space and wind; Seshat, the measurer and architect; Tekhi, regu­lator of times and seasons.

Animals: Ibis, baboon, giraffe.
