M: Hoi-
G: And where were you? (not pleased)
M: :eye::lips::eye:

Gabriel can beā€¦intimidating. I never thought he would be lovey dovey unicorn fluffy, that idea of angels was removed from my head a long time ago but damn Gabriel can be scary. I go back after a week and the first thing I get is a scoldingā€¦at least let me warm up a bit :weary:

Today and tomorrow are my last days of volunteeringā€¦finally. I am physically exhausted and donā€™t have energy for anything. I woke up in my sleep last night and thought Iā€™m gonna pass out on Friday during my work or just start snoring in the hall lol. I have a big working coming up my friends and me. Iā€™m deadset on lighting a fire under my lazy classmatesā€™ ass to get them to work. The prof is putting all the workload on my friends and me and weā€™re cracking and going crazy.

I FINALLY HAVE SCULPTING CLASS TOMORROW Iā€™M HAVING SO MUCH FUN :heart_eyes::heart_eyes::heart_eyes::sob::purple_heart::purple_heart::purple_heart::purple_heart:

Sorry for the yelling and sudden change of mood, Iā€™m happy that I signed up for sculpting class :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

I really want to make some posts here, Iā€™m gonna try to do it over the weekend hopefully.

I canā€™t think of anything else to write here so thatā€™s all for this entry. I hope you have a good day! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

TW// ED

Food is such a simple thing, but itā€™s so sensitive for so many. Itā€™s food, itā€™s energy. But we have developed so much stigma around something so simple such as fuel. Food is, for me, a sensitive subject. I was a girl who restricted her eating and avoided things like cheese or other things I craved and loved so much because I thought I would get fat, because Iā€™m already fat. And my mum was the least bit of help of course, calling me fat when others said I lost weight. I was stressed, didnā€™t look at myself in the mirror or always nitpicked my appearance.

I went from there to embracing myself and healing from it, opening up my heart again to things I loved, but Iā€™m slowly seeing myself doing similar things I did before. It starts when I start noticing what others are eating, then it comes to me. Then I start eating less, and less then I lose my appetite. The last stage is when Iā€™m back to sleeping all day and not eating most of the day or throwing away most of my food.

But I will not go back there. I have come a long way. Even if I think Iā€™m going to that place again, I will resist. Because Iā€™m choosing myself, and I will choose myself over what other people have to speak of me. I will not hurt myself again.

I signed up for the mental health clinic at my college, Iā€™ll be getting an appointment next week. Hopefully this is good and not traumatic ā€¦

I just wanted to write this. Food is such a simple thing. It is energy, fuel. Society as a whole needs to chill tf out about it. Take care of yourself people, always take care of yourself.

I struggle with this too. My whole life I was never skinny enough. My dad would make fat jokes all the time. Til one day i was maybe 8 years old he was making fat jokes and I slapped the shit out of him. Left my red hand print on his face. I was shocked he didnt spank me. He believed in using a belt. But he didnt.

After that he didnt make the jokes but he was always saying i needed to loose wieght and as a teen he would put me on whatever fad diet there was. Its caused me to have such poor self esteem and always be self conscious about my looks.

I do try to watch my diet and exercise now but because Im diabetic and i have to keep an eye on my blood sugar and circulation.

If you ever wanna talk, Im here. I take private messages too.

Thank you @vverfault @Keteriya :purple_heart:

@Arianna Iā€™m sorry you had to go through that :cry: It sucks. Luckily I never had to hear fat jokes, but I did have to hear jokes on other matters. I will be sure to send you a message when Iā€™m feeling low :purple_heart: The offer stands for you as well.

Thank you all for so much love, it makes me happy :purple_heart::purple_heart::purple_heart:

I feel much much much better than before. The weekend was a much needed break. Today evening I was talking with my friends, and I went through many rounds of anger, sadness, empathy and disgust. Iā€™m still confused as to what emotion Iā€™m feeling right now.

Hmmmā€¦I really donā€™t know what to think. I canā€™t shake it off either because these people mean something to me. Iā€™ll just let it pass naturally.

Recently, my lover and I have completed one year of being together. I didnā€™t realize it had been 1 year till I was flipping through my BoS last evening to look for something. It was a surprise, I thought Iā€™d do something for him but ah well. He didnā€™t tell me either, ig we both didnā€™t realize it. But time is weird. I feel like time is passing by too quickly these days. Might be the coming winter, or may be because Iā€™m so busy these days. Either ways, Iā€™m grateful for him.

I have either been overreacting or outright projecting my issues on an old friend. I have valid reasons to some extent but the others might just be baseless.

They say that if you donā€™t like something in someone, then itā€™s in you too. I wonder then, if I would do what they did. I hope not.

I donā€™t like it.

Anyways, the weekend was good. College again tomorrow. I hope you all have a great day ahead!

I thought of doing some healing spells today but I havenā€™t gotten to them yet.

I havenā€™t updated this journal for quite some time chuckles. College had completely swamped me, and with that stress along with the weather and my own prone-ness, I fell sick. I had fever and caught the flu. I still have cough, but it will be sorted in 4 days. I could finally start properly eating Sunday night, so thatā€™s good. Me missing lunch because of the absolutely horrible schedule of classes for around 2 weeks also played a part in this. Iā€™ve lost weight but itā€™s not in a way I wanted to. The syllabus for one class is almost over, so hopefully she cancels those classes soon.

Azazel went a little easy last week, but I need to pick up the pace again this week. I plan on making some more glamors, try to make it a little more advanced than last time :thinking:

Iā€™m also going to start working on a personal project of mine soonish. i.e when I get time.

I have 2 tests tomorrow (not going to college today), so I will be preparing for them however I can today lol. The syllabus is ambiguous.

Some day last week, I was listening to the hymn of Prince Orobas and was hit with a very weird epiphany. Divination is itā€™s own category of course, I donā€™t know if itā€™s considered a form of magick? (someone tell me if it is) I realized how important it is. I donā€™t know how to explain it. It was a mind blowing experience.

To be able to know and see beyond time and events, how things will/had play(ed) out. Piercing through the veil and standing in the middle of an astral storm seeing everything happen. Seeing and knowing.

But where does magick come into play here? Where do spells and our own personal power come into play here?

Planning spells? Knowing the outcome and deciding what to do and what not to do? I felt the answer, but Iā€™m not consciously aware of what it is.

A good friend of mine mentioned one day, that she could sense death when death is coming. While I havenā€™t had a lot of experience with it, because most people I read for werenā€™t in the population that was anyway related to it, I did have one person I read for who wanted to know about their grandmother. The Death card fell out, and the moment I touched it, I felt the dread and doom of actual death from it. I put it back, thinking it was my own hindsight bias. And told her something that I didnā€™t feel was right. She was a sweet friend, I didnā€™t have it in me to dissapoint her.

2 days later, I came to know that her grandma had passed.

Sometimes I think maybe I shouldā€™ve told her. Michael tells me, even if Iā€™m this tough person in my head, Iā€™m much softer in my dealings with people.

How much honesty then, in these kind of situations, is good?

Because I doubt we can know in whose reading we will encounter an event like this. Maybe we can train our intuition to detect it. I consider myself a zero bs reader. I donā€™t sugarcoat, I didnā€™t lie. But I did it this time. I just didnā€™t know how to handle it better.

My experience with death is not new. I lost my dear grandfather when I was 11 years old. Iā€™m soon going to be 21, and I still remember feeding him soup my mom made and my birthday cake one last time before he went to the hospital and passed away. He had freshened up and walked downstairs one last time, just for me. He came to my dream once, to warn me about something that happened. He was standing on fluffy white clouds and surrounded in sunlight.

I lost my aunt 2 years after that. Then some other family member a few years later, and then a few last year.

The concept of death and a complex thing such as grief, theyā€™re not new to me. But that doesnā€™t make it easier. Understanding that pain, Iā€™m not sure where it puts me as a reader when a situation like that happens where know sensing death. Iā€™m studying to be a therapist, but therapy is one thing and tarot another.

Iā€™ve written quite a bit here today. If you have any thoughts or perspectives on any topic mentioned in this, please do share them. I would love to learn more.

Thatā€™s all for today. I hope you all have a great day ahead.

hugs in past tense

Iā€™ve had that experience before and if I ever had it again, itā€™ll be a few centuries too soon.

When you know the answer, please share. This is something that I can never figure out.

Iā€™ve been having Freudian dreams, I will not elaborate on this. Itā€™s been a weird yet enlightening experience, itā€™s significant of me finally moving on from one chapter of my life.

About the death question, I did get an answer from Lucifer.

ā€œPeople come [to readers] because they want closure. If death is what it is, then give death. So that they know to cherish those last moments and not live in agony.ā€

When he said that it made perfect sense. Made me think that I shouldā€™ve realised it, but ah well.

I just got done with a ritualā€¦ with Lucifer.

L: Are you ready?
M: Before I began, I told myself that Iā€™d prepare for you.
M: I believe I canā€™t be more ready than this.
L: Very well.

It was an interesting and intense ritual. It was interrupted by a fucking YouTube ad, but I realized I was sweaty when I got out of it and wanted to do nothing but cool tf down.

It is not physically written yet, but now, Lucifer is like my second patron, but heā€™s beyond a patron. In all the 3 languages I speak there is no word that would describe his role, but it is something that both of us understand and know. He always knew it, but it is only recently that Iā€™m realizing and understanding the depths of it.

Lucifer, I welcome you to this role with open arms, and an open heart.

Thank you, for choosing me. If, you have chosen me. I donā€™t understand the way you work, but I have stopped trying to unravel your mystery, because it is something ever expanding and changing. I understood long ago, that you cannot be fit into a box. I too, will not restrict myself and have my wings open to whatever corner of the earth they wish to touch.

Thank you.
I look forward to this journey with you.

I was doing an invocation last night, and felt something extremely weird. Everything had suddenly went silent. I couldnā€™t see, feel or hear. It was very weird. I owed it to my exhaustion, so I took care to rest well.

I am going home this week. fingers crossed hope I donā€™t lose my sanity.

Thatā€™s all for this entry everyone. I hope you have a great day ahead!

One toast to the sun and one toast to the moon.
Wake up my yearning for the poor life
So you can fly against the wind without looking back
Not afraid of wet eyes.

A toast to hometown a toast to the distance
My goodness urges me to grow
So the North and the South will never be long again.

Lucifer took me on a stroll to Eden. It was a little similar to how Iā€™ve seen Heaven in my dreams before. Grassy, filled with plants and sunlight and what not. The difference was, while ā€œheavenā€ felt full of life, Eden wasā€¦empty. It was like a grave of a place that used to be.

We sat under a tree, and watched the sunset. It was a beautiful place, quiet and peaceful.

M: why are we here?
L: to fall

I havenā€™t been back there again, although I distinctly remember what it looked like. I saw no angel, no demon. It was no manā€™s land.

A little random tidbit about Michael, this is completely my upg. There are two things that can make him averse to working with someone.

a) going against oneā€™s own personal principles.
b) hurting his loved ones.

I know him to be a very chill, easy going yet strict spirit to work with who has a sense of humor.

The past few days have been mentally exhausting, and I thank my spirits for motivating and encouraging me to persevere through this.

I sang a lot of songs to my lover last night, and after days I was able to sleep well, waking up a second before the alarm rang.

I donā€™t have much else to add. A lot happened, but at the same time it didnā€™t. Thatā€™s all for this entry. I hope you have a great day ahead.

Officialised Lucifer as my ā€œbeyondā€. I cannot explain this, because Iā€™m not supposed to, and even if I could idk how lol.
