So UPG here guys just trying to talk myself through something while high thought maybe someone might like to read,
Anyway
So I started reading into the occult at 13 I was zoned in on it immediately I read a lot bought shit, library had a nice sized selection for a small town, online shit a little not a lot cause I kept getting satanist shit that at the time freaked me out,
So I don't remember when I first saw the idea that all gods are one god, usually refered in these books as Spirit, the Spirit at the top of the pentacle/pentagram,
The first time I heard it I'd instantly disliked it, it felt rude to the gods to say they weren't distinct people just masks, and I also knew enough to know the people whose gods these books were referring to, the people whose religions these were wouldn't agree to that, at least the ones I was a little familiar with, I knew Christians for damn sure would be pissed to here that their god was also Zeus, like no they'd be pissed,
So I didn't like it, but there felt like there was something to that so I never fully away from it,
And now as I'm looking more closely into different pantheons I'm starting to maybe see a pattern,
All the gods seem to come from something else and that flows down to us,
Simplified
Greek, Gods made us Titans made them,
Norse, gods made us, Odin and others had what Yimir as a father and made like the world/Como's out of his body,
There was god, let there be light,
So on and so forth but it seems to get the a point where you're hearing,
There was nothing
Then there was the gods
So if that's the standard case here then is there something the gods came from, did something birth the gads,
And if so,
Is it sentient, does it feel, if the gods came from it and we come from the gods and children from us, and such and the same for all manner of things human, animal, plant, spirit, such and such
Does that mean this Thing the gods come from does it contain everything everywhere and yes all at once?
Is there a main source of everything that IS everything and so if it feels everything then does it both love and hate us is it not also indifferent, unaware of us?
Anyway I'm still thinking on this I had another thread but lost it while getting this down, how it goes eh? Been thing on and off about this sorta thing since the beginning of this year 31s got me all sorta contemplating

Ok here's the thing you really can use magic to improve your everyday, this cocurs to me all the time but I forget it again and again,
Example having trouble with sleep? Or just want to make sure you don't have trouble with sleep,
Enchant your blankets, there's loads of ways to do this,
Sew in runes, sigils, or even just, good, healing sleep,
Or put a sheet on your altar and bless as you would an athame, by fire by water by earth by air
Or energy type work of raising and sent those words into the blankets,
And that's the thing to, while I understand that some people are wary of energy work due to its being conflated with toxic positively think your world better shit,
But the things is I don't understand the complete dismissal to any of these given I myself have had each method work for me,
Or while a lot of people doing tea spells sounds like something a little lacking to me but,
I mean come on guys we do magic with herbs all the time just work the herbs liked you'd do then stick em in hot water then drink it
Just high magic thoughts

Callum might have dark magic to thank for his Primal Magic?
Just something I noticed when I watched "Finnigrin's Wake".
Callum uses dark magic in season 2, then unlocks the Sky Arcaum.
Then he used dark magic in season 5, and he unlocked the Ocean Arcanum.
How messed up would it be if the dark magic is connected to the Primal Magic? There might be a while after using dark magic where a human can potentially be open to an arcanum? Just imagine his inner conflict at this kind of reveal.

AGHGFCCV LISTEN.
I have a theory-----
So it always bothered ne how despite there being so many witches in Mitakihara, there only seem to be Mami (and kinda Homura) as magical girls in the city at the start of the show, like surely these witches come from an equivalent amount of magical girls right???
Welll what if- magical girls and witches cone in some sort of "waves" of despair- basically, kind of like highs and lows in stuff like market economics
Heres how i think it might work- Kyubey reveals himself to a girl, and there are 2 options-
1- She is a lonely person and has therefore a higher likelyhood of witching out or dying without a support network, or-
2- She has, to some kind of degree, close friends she can talk to about stuff like being a magical girl.
If option 2 happens, then even if the girl herself is the only one out of her friend group (or out of whoever is eligible in it anyway) who becomes a magical girl, then eventually when she inevitably enters into a dangerous situation, Kyubey will manipulate any eligible friends she has into making a wish for her (which constantly happens in the show)
Then, if a wish wasn't made, a new witch or at least dead magical girl wouldve been created without any friends joining as magical girls
The more likely situation i suspect though, is that a wish DOES get made, and then, when one of the friends gets into a dangerous situation again and none is there to make a wish to save them (which will inevitably happen because being meguca is suffering)-
One of them will die or witch out, starting a chain reaction because well, your friend just died in front of you, probably brutally, or instead went the non gorey (if nothing else) way of becoming a witch- both highlighting the futility of your cause AND making you use energy to defeat a new witch in an already bad for you situation.
Both cases are highly likely to make the entire friend group witch out this way, because of the collective downward spiral.
And again, lonely girls are known to be preyed on because they do not last long.
In short i suspect the show takes place right after these kind of "chain witchification" happened to many magical girls in Mitakihara, which Mami was not affected by because she is a lone veteran (despite her efforts)
Basically, I think Gertrude, H.N. Elly, Elsa Maria, and maybe one of the other less significant witches (not Charlotte tho we know what happened There...) were part of a magical girl squad that fell to despair
Heck, this chain reaction is even shown to happen in alternate tinelines the Quintet was together, Sayaka witches out, Mami breaks down bc of it and kills Kyouko and then dies (to Madoka), and then Madoka becomes a witch, and so too would have Homura if she could not time travel most likely, resulting in net 0 magical girls and only witches for a short amount of time.
Mitakihara could also just actually be really small and all the witches immigrate from Kazumino or something. idk. that would be boring though

tiny little cornelia promo interview has me severely compromised
this one
at no point does she say anything she hasn't said before (& that i haven't documented before somewhere in the bookshop Q&A translations) but STILL. her summary of what she can tell us about the story made me Unwell (putting the translation beneath a cut just to be safe)
"Well, the way I write is that I don't want to know anything… don't want to know too much about the labyrinth I'm entering. For me, the excitement of writing is about not knowing what the story will eventually reveal to me. So I'm not going to spoil the adventure the readers hopefully have waiting for them too much.
It's about revenge. The title says as much. Orpheus' revenge on Dustfinger. And you could say the revenge of a reader on a character he once loved very much. For that character not loving him back.
It is also about the question whether words are more powerful than images. It's also about being young and getting older. It's about a thousand - hopefully - themes so every reader can pick something out that speaks to their own life. Something they never thought about before. I hope it will be a journey from which you can bring back plenty of images and many places you might like to travel to."
