A friend of mine believes similar except it's that everything in Linux doesn't actually work and you have to fix it constantly. It's rather frustrating to deal with.
A) At the Cross: St. Cyprian, patron of Sorcerers and Magicians, I beseech you that you preserve me from all evil intents, arts, and perfidies. May they be full of confusion, those who attempt against my life. May my enemies be confused and scattered to the winds. Guard my vision and my thoughts that I may understand the secret doctrines without error. Assist me to grow in power and wisdom that I may serve the good of mankind. Grant me the power to intervene on behalf of those that come to me for help. Assist me in serving those who are bound by hexes, bewitching, and possessed of evil, so that the rabid wolf may have dominion over them no longer. B) This is followed by three Holy St. Cyprians: Holy St. Cyprian, mage, martyr, and mystic; theurge, thaumaturge, and theophoros; saint, sorcerer, and sage! Pray for us now, and at the hour of our death. Amen. C) Recite one Our Father on the large bead D) 9x Holy St. Cyprian E) 1x Our Father C) End on the large bead with the Sorcerer’s Prayer to St. Cyprian: In the name of the great and mighty power of the Elohim I invoke the sublime influence of St. Cyprian. I ask that you be my mentor and guide by virtue of the grace bestowed upon you by the First Father who was, who is, and who shall ever be. You learned to control storms on Mt. Olympus, the casting of enchantment and illusion in Argos, the mysteries of the witch’s craft at Tauropolis, necromancy among the graves of Sparta, and incantations in Memphis. Finally, in Antioch, drawn by power, you converted to Christianity. Holy St. Cyprian, you who equally partakes of the Mass and the Sabbat, bless my efforts to follow you in your path. You, who commingled with angels, devils, and earthly spirits, grant the power to commune with spirits as you did, and as Solomon and Manasses did before you. I thank you, Lord, for the many gifts of nature and grace with which you enriched the spiritual treasure house of your most faithful servant St. Cyprian. I thank you, my protector, for the special favors I have received by your powerful intercession. Cyprian, Holy Thaumaturge; Saint and Sorcerer, Martyr and Magus, bless me. Take my prayers and spells and make them your own. When the Lord hears them, he will not ignore them, and they will cease to be my words, but yours. Amen.
Hi, doing a small post here because I neglected to post anything on Lithia due to the fact I've been kinda drained. I'm doing this post so when people see it they can know what this group, and by extension myself, are about. I want this to be a communal space where people of all walks of weirdness can come together and bask in the Holy Strangeness. I do certainly confess that I don't know it all, and hope that I never do for my love of knowledge is great, but I'd still like to do something within this niche-ish community. As for what, well, I'm leaving that up to those who show up. I will do posts here and on my other spaces, I'm still in the process of trying to figure out what exactly I'm doing here. That's all for now, a happy belated Lithia to you all!

Recently created by me as a sort of occult space with room to grow.
As the moderator of what I hope will become a very interesting discussion space, *fingers crossed* I would like to give a small introduction of Me and my beliefs. My name is Rev. Ze, I'm going by this for the moment as I don't know the likelihood of being doxxed, and I've seen Reddit. I am a polytheist, magick practitioner, and folk witch that hails from the hills of Tennessee. I grew up southern baptist, and then Evangelical, before finally getting my first taste of what non-Christian spirituality had to offer. Like many of you, this came about due to me discovering my sexuality and The Church were in hard disagreement, among many, many, many other things that would take far more lines to list than this. My current timeline for this journey of self-discovery is as follows: At 15, it became painfully obvious that I was on the outs at my Church. I'd prayed many a time, but it seemed my prayers fell on deaf ears. From then on it was a variable will they, won't they of cat and mouse, religion hopping, madness till I finally settled on my current bid, which is a sort-of Gnostic, Catholic, Eclectic Pagan free for all. I think I'll end this here, for now. I'll add a link to the Revolt server once it's more polished. Peace out!

I'm wholly convinced that "American" Jesus is an egregore formed by the mass consciousness of American Evangelicals, a deranged thought form that both fuels, and is fueled, by their bloodthirsty, teeth gnashing madhouse "theology".

It seems to be not working well as of late, I'm not sure why. A good amount of the shows I watch throw back an error.

Thanks for the site, I'd genuinely never heard of this and was looking for something new!

I'm glad somebody finally said this, but I do have some critiques on the matter.
I am a polytheist magic practitioner who has been sort of attempting to rebuild a bridge with, while at the same time deconstructing and getting to really know, my Christian-ish faith. I have dedicated my practice to knowing everything about The Demiurge/OTG ("One True God") that I can do that I can better defend against it. In my personal studies, bibliomancy, tarot, scrying, spirit work, death work, I have found an odd thing.
Yes, the "Abrahamic God/Yahweh" is intrinsically connected to The Demiurge/Yaldabaoth, but not in the oh so malicious way we've all come to know.
Know, obviously do your own research here, but my research has led me to the following conclusion/s: Yahweh and Yaldabaoth are related in the sense that the OTG is a sort of pseudo-parasitic twin type thing that was originally a part of GOD before God split and became, well, everything. From my own personal soul searching, astral walking, shit show, I've come into contact with both the OTG and Yahweh. Distinct energetic and empathetic differences, one is self centered, egotistical, and downright evil, the other is, well, they feel like home, I guess is my best description.
I've also confirmed this with other ''witchy" friends of mine, as well as through direct lines to my other Gods. I look forward to further studying it in hopes that it can be fully extinguished one day.
I will add more later, I am currently writing this at 3:00 on a phone. I have a few books and such, as well as the TikTok of someone who's probably a lot more qualified to removed this out than I am.

Given my mystic/esoteric follies, and my general flare for the dramatic, I tend to blend my mind's eye form with what I try to appear as in astral: Usually some variant of myself, usually differently shaped, preferably with wings or horns, or both.
I don't care for my looks from the neck down, despite my husband's constant insistence that I'm beauty incarnate.
I consider myself the ruling entity of my Mind Palace, with the occasional spirit or other entity sometimes taking precedence. I've never thought of myself as important, most likely due to my being raised Evangelical, but I'm finding more and more people think of me that way, much to my utter discomfort and confusion.

Ooh, same! I always thought this was odd, so it's nice to find someone else who thinks like this!

Right? That's the thing that kinda bugs me, what the hell do you need to dual-carry for? Like, what situation really calls for that?
TheCynicalSaint Now • 100%
Well, that was certainly a rollercoaster. Points for authenticity and uniqueness. Also, what the actual ever loving fuck?

Hexbear was/is a shit show. Then again, I hate politics and idiots with a burning passion. (Grew up in the South with Far right idiots belching brain dead arguments) It's very hostile. I was semi-fine with hostility on Reddit, I'd happily bite and fight. But, I'm honestly trying to have a good experience, so Hexbear is a no-go for me.
And for the inevitable herd of Hexbearians that will no doubt squawk this post to hell: I am a nonbinary, demisexual, melungeon witch, I can't stand racists or bigots or *phobes, I don't care for politics or politicians, but will happily vote for whoever doesn't try to make my existence illegal!
I'm wondering what repo the Debian instance gets its packages from, more specifically the adb and fastboot binaries. Thanks in advance to whoever finds this out, you will literally be saving me so much headache!

They really don't. I grew up Evangelical, trust me, community was the last thing on those people's minds. Granted, I understand where you're coming from; there should be more communal spaces that don't have religion as a requirement.

Gotta love the wording on that, "why do Christians allow this mockery?" Because you don't have a fucking choice, sit down and stop removed! It annoys the fuck out of me that these idiots even have the gal to suggest they can do anything about supposed "mockery" Shit like this should be met with extreme rebuttal and prejudice, and yes, I say this as a mystic/pagan/whatever the fuck. Idiots like this should be laughed/removeded off stage, no ifs, ands, or buts!

TheCynicalSaint@ lemmy.mlJust a weirdly mystical asshole looking for meaning in the meaningless, silence in the jumble of voices, sight in darkness, finding the rhythm in chaos.
