FUCKING GETCH OU

“a thousand wasted hours a day, just to feel my heart for a second”

happy 50th anniversary to brian depalma’s “phantom of the paradise”, a brilliant work of art that will forever move me beyond words.

i cherish each gorgeous frame, each note, and will never be able to articulate fully how much winslow as a character means to me.

hopefully i'll be around to celebrate its 100th. i bet by then i'll have every line memorized.

HEPHASTEUSSSSSS! RAAAAAAGH!

spell jars 101 ✧

updated version

how to craft a spell jar: 

cleanse your jar

gather your ingredients

charge and program them, and then add them to the jar

close and seal with wax, ribbon, string, etc. to finalize and cast the spell

decorate your jar however you'd like, or not at all - up to you

what you can use as a jar:

tiny glass jars with cork lids

mason jars

pickle/pasta sauce jars

old medication bottles

food storage containers

bead storage tubes

what you can add to a spell jar: 

dried herbs

dried citrus peels

dried flowers

magical powders

small crystals

gem chips

essential oils (a drop or two will go a long way)

infused oils (carrier oils such as olive or grapeseed oil that have been infused with herbs)

a few drops of charged water (storm water, war water, sea water, holy water, rain water, moon water, sun water, etc.)

paper (with sigils/symbols/glyphs drawn on it, an incantation, a name, a phrase, etc.)

coins

beads

glitter or confetti 

seashells/shark teeth/sand, etc.

leaves/acorns/sticks/bark/moss

animal fur, nail clippings, teeth, or whiskers that have fallen out naturally (if i catch you trying to pull out your pet's whiskers or fur, i will fight you)

nails, glass, pins, needles, thorns, and other sharp objects (great for cursing, binding, banishing, or protection)

vinegar, lemon juice, pickle juice (mostly for “souring” a situation)

honey, sugar, syrup (to “sweeten” a situation or for attraction)

pretty much anything that fits and corresponds to your intent

what you should avoid putting in a spell jar: 

unless your intent correlates with the contents of the jar spoiling or going bad - don't use anything biological in nature (think bodily fluids), don't use fresh produce or herbs, and be mindful of water content inside the jar. you don't want a moldy, biohazardous mess on your hands (unless you do, then that's cool, too).

what spell jars are good for: 

containing your spell, theoretically making it easier to manipulate and control

manifesting goals/intentions continuously or over time

passive manifestation that doesn’t require much ongoing participation from the caster but is subject to regular maintenance

what to do with your spell jar once it’s been crafted:

keep it on your altar

keep it in an area that's appropriate for goal manifestation (for glamours, keep it in the bathroom; for sleep or dreams, keep it in the bedroom; for safe travels, keep it in your vehicle; for cursing, keep it concealed in a black box; etc.)

wear it as jewelry

put it in your pocket, purse, or backpack

bury it in your backyard or within a potted plant outside (for spells you don’t plan to undo or want to last indefinitely) - if burying is not an option, hide it somewhere on your property

leave it at a crossroads

recharging spell jars: 

shake it up

light a candle on top of or next to it

submerge it in a bath of herbs or crystals that are associated with energy

submerge or surround with sea salt (a natural conductor of energy)

anoint with oil/blessed or charged water

pair with a tarot card or rune stone that matches your intent

suffumigate with incense smoke

energy work and visualization

disposing of and reversing spell jars - when you feel like the spell has done its job or you need to undo its effects:

remove the contents from the jar and either destroy them, bury them, or throw them away

for items you wish to save, cleanse them thoroughly before using them again

take the jar and cleanse it in whatever manner you choose and either save it to be reused; or dispose of it safely

I initiate our conversation with warmth, offering insights into quilting out of my genuine passion for the craft, and I genuinely wish you a wonderful day.

FUCK SNEEZING MAN

Mulder on his solo eps: I FUCK BITCHES and KILL MONSTERS no one understands my near psychic detective skills (guessing). Sorry woman whose already in love with me, the role of most important person in my life is already filled by Dana Scully. Hold on she's calling me right now to complain, it's so funny when she's annoyed.

Scully on her solo eps: hmm unfathomable horrors, could we make this catholic somehow? Good. Yeah I'll go ahead and incorporate that into my belief system. Hold on woman and/or older man that I'm pseudo flirting/ definitely sleeping with, I need to answer a call from this looser whose obsessed with me.

Mulder on phone: 😍hi Scully😍 whatcha dooooin'👉👈

Some additional photos

Tis’ the season! I made an ides of march cake complete with 22 chocolate knives and one real, very stabby knife. While the knives are shittily constructed, I think the point still comes across. The cake itself is double chocolate, making use of a Swiss meringue buttercream.
