"I'm an experienced spirit worker, I know how to tell the difference between an ancient spirit and a thoughtform!" Yeah uh a substantial amount of your lore can be traced back to World of Darkness and adjacent pop culture of the 20th century, maybe be a little less sure of yourself here.

If there's a ghost in your house and it's someone who died before electricity and running water were a thing, of course they're going to flip light switches, turn on faucets, flush the toilets, unscrew light bulbs. None of this had existed when they were alive. All of this is magical to them!

been thinking a lot lately on what it takes to really sustain a movement. I think USAians expect protests, boycotts, and letters to be met with instant results, and when this doesn't happen, there's helplessness, burnout, and the movement is quietly dropped...

as we approach the year of the dragon, the hydra comes to mind.

over 30,000 innocent Palestinians are now gone, on our tax dollars, with no end in sight. now more people than ever realize that our representatives do not represent us, or care to. we are financing our own destruction, and we are running out of time.

so what does it really take to build a new world? who do we need? drawing on those who did it best (the global south truly has all the answers), these were my conclusions, but please tell me if you have any notes.

all I know is that our feelings of helplessness are by design. we cannot do it alone. it will not happen overnight. when one head tires, there must be two others to take it's place. happy early new year. we all have a role to play. which one are you?

it’s kind of funny how i talk about anti capitalism a lot on my blog and my all time favorite movie happens to be studio ghibli’s spirited away in which the setting is basically a gorgeous bathhouse that’s controlled by a capitalist greedy old witch who steals the names of her workers and gives them new ones so she can control them and make them forget about their lives before they came to work for her and make money for her for ever and ever like that isn’t the most evilest thing that you can imagine happening to someone

#spirited away #studio ghibli #studio ghibli spirited away #yubaba #i hope that after chihiro went home the workers started a union or something lol #because chihiro and haku can’t be the ONLY ones she took their names from #yubaba also took all of the workers real names when they signed a contract with her #so she could control them and they eat sleep and breathe the bathhouse #i mean they live there and eat there and sleep there????

I feel like Officer Parker from Wellington Paranormal and Martin from TMA would have so much to bond over

Watching @wearewatcher ‘s ghost files before heading out to the house that I was asked to investigate and cleanse is wild. It’s like a How To Piss Off Entities tutorial video

But it’s become routine now, every time someone asks me to do spirit work in their home I have to watch an episode of Ghost Files

If I ever need to piss off some ghosts the ghoul boys have the best tricks lmao

the dragon boy by yukla

the dragon boy [AO3 | Twitter]

by yukla

T, 3k, Wangxian

Summary: Once is sheer luck. Twice is a kindness. Wei Wuxian does not go through life tallying his encounters with handsome river gods, and he is already content with what he has. But the thing is—Lan Wangji keeps coming back. Kay's comments: Since AO3 is currently down, here is one of my favourite Twitter threads that has since been archived on AO3 as well, so I've included both links. It's a lovely Spirited Away AU in which Lan Wangji is a polluted river spirit and Wei Wuxian is a bath-house worker, who is actually a fox spirit as well, but can't transform while he works and pays his debt off. I'm very weak for this setting, because Spirited Away is one of my favourite Ghibli stories and yukla wrote a truly beautiful Wangxian AU.

alternate universe, sprited away, river spirit lan wangji, fox spirit wei wuxian, bath-house worker wei wuxian, strangers to lovers, getting to know each other, angst with a happy ending, fluff, thread fic, getting to know each other, mutual pining

Why are so many self proclaimed paranormal experts so unbelievably stupid about magic, witchcraft, divination, and spirit work.

Spirit Work: Connecting to Spirits through Food

We've all got to eat. I'm a huge proponent of casual, every day spirit work and devotions. In my post about Hanging Out, I briefly mentioned sitting down for a meal with your chosen spirit(s) to bond. That concept goes beyond just eating together, of course. There's far more than just eating when it comes to food.

Food as Devotion to Spirits

Food is the heartbeat of culture. Consider where your ancestors came from.

If you talk to folk practitioners, especially ones who do spirit work with ancestors, they'll tell you about all the things they've learned about their culture, their history, their people, and where their beliefs came from. Well, maybe -- folk practitioners are often a secretive bunch, and for good reason. Our practices are highly personal, constructed from local and family beliefs, cultural hand-me-downs, and word of mouth.

Even if you aren't a folk practitioner, there's value in looking to the foods and ingredients that were (or still are) crucial to the culture you come from. Especially if you work with your ancestors, but this can apply to deity and other spirit work, too.

And this doesn't just apply to immigrant US Americans whose families came from Europe, either. Think about where you live now, too. What did your grandparents or great-grandparents like to eat? What dish is your hometown renowned for? What's your country's signature dish?

Research is devotion. The time you spend asking questions or reading about the foods that formed the foundation of your culture's existence is time devoted to the spirits connected to that culture. Even for spirits with whom you have no ancestral ties, like deities from other cultures, researching the foods they were historically offered is valuable.

Taking time to learn how to make a dish and then taking the time to actually make it is a great offering. So long as it's done conscientiously and with purpose, it counts.

When you sit down to eat, dedicate the meal to the spirit(s). Set a place for them at the table and put together a little serving of everything on offer. The contents of the meal don't necessarily matter. Hell, I've set aside a chicken nugget and little pile of french fries for spirits before. Offer the first bite, a taste of whatever the spirit would like. Then, dig in and know that you're sharing a meal with that spirit.

The idea is that learning about, making, sharing, and consuming the foods that have been made for years -- centuries, even, sometimes! -- forges a strong connection. It's all about learning and appreciation.

Food as Connection... to the Living

There are few experiences more powerful than sharing a meal. Cooking for someone, having someone cook for you, going out to eat, going through a drive-thru -- it doesn't matter. People have been gathering to enjoy meals since time immemorial. Food is love, I really do believe that. To consciously choose to share a meal is an act of love.

I'm of the perhaps controversial opinion that the most important spirit work occurs with the living. Living, breathing, human people. We all have spirits, and we nurture ourselves every day. But do we nurture each other?

When we die, we don't really know what happens. There are countless theories on the subject, and I don't plan on revealing mine currently. If you work with spirits, chances are you've got your own thoughts; and even if you don't, you might still have thoughts.

The vast majority of spirit work we see in books and online occurs with the intangible spirit world. Deities, ghosts, Fair Folk, and the like. There's nothing wrong with that, necessarily, but I do think practitioners who don't turn their attention to the living are missing out.

Making connections with the living is critical. My views on spirit work have been massively impacted by interactions with volunteer programs, community outreach programs, and events in my community.

Don't wait until they're dead to respect them. Whoever they are, don't wait.

If it's your family members, ask about their favorite foods. What did their parents make them, and when? What's their go-to secret ingredient? What do they make for the holidays, and why? What traditions do they follow? Why do they make this particular soup on this particular day?

If it's your community leaders -- who can absolutely be your ancestors, too, even if you've never met them in person -- talk to them about where they came from. What did they eat as a child? Where do they like to go when they eat out, and why? Would they share that cookie recipe with you from the last community potluck?

Understanding the living will help you understand the dead. Not only will you form strong, lasting connections to people who care about you in your life, but it'll also strengthen your ties to those who are gone. Spirits of your ancestors will recognize your efforts to learn and preserve the memories of the people in your family and community. Your deities will see you reaching out and learning, and they will appreciate it as devotion to the culture they came from.

You don't need to be a fabulous cook or even cook at all. It all comes down to the effort you're putting in. Learning is enough. Reaching out is enough. The work is enough.

If you like my work, consider tossing a tip in my Ko-Fi tip jar! Support helps me keep making posts like this one consistently.

Regardless of what distant land or place of pilgrimage you might hold dear, ultimately you need to recognize the place where you live as a place of magic...truthfully though, the whole world is alive with spirit. Even if you live in the dreariest suburb, surrounded by box stores and blight, you can still investigate the land and integrate it into your practice.
