I have an inquiry regarding some of the wording in Furfur's ritual. The ritual refers to Furfur as "Lord Furfur", and "Son of Demeter". It was to my understanding for many years that Furfur was female, so the wording caught me a little by surprise. Would she not be Lady Furfur, Daughter of...

I can definitely relate to this. For an amount of years, when signs from the Gods were shown to me, I kept trying to think of a "rational explanation" for it, or that it was just a scientifically-explainable coincidence. It was only after some undeniably clear, miraculously improbable...

The general point of opposition here is that pornography is filled with corrupting fetishes that destroy the mind, as we already know, but an intriguing concept of thought is that nudity, in itself, is not actually inherently sexual. That is why the statue of Venus or other old works of art by...

You're right. Sometimes nudity is okay for anatomical practice and if one keeps it to themselves, but I understand what you mean. Perhaps I've been doing this for too long, and I've deluded myself into making excuses to justify the ways I've come to think about it. It might be time for me to...

Oh, that wasn't what I intended to convey. My mistake for wording it as though I seek to glorify it, or attempt to equate it to morally higher professions. I guess I was trying to encourage and cater to the original poster's goal of making it a living, and exaggerated a little bit. I...

If you'd like to incorporate a thorough cleaning method, I would strongly suggest HPS Lydia's Deep Cleaning, performed on a Friday night, or on a Saturday. This comes in accordance to the Sabbatical cycles as described in this post by HP HoodedCobra. I believe that if you were to vibrate...

The yearly SS Calendar created by Lydia and the team behind it, provide immense insight regarding everything in regards to astrological timing, power dates, and the like. Mercury rules communications and I believe publishing as well, so try and time it when it's in a favorable phase. But you...

Why do I feel a specific sense of sadness or futility when those whom I care about, refuse to help themselves, or refuse to acknowledge my efforts to assist them? I love people, even the godless, i.e., normal members of modern society. I converse and interact with people daily, learning of...

It's like if someone pops a Mars square for fitness goals but doesn't exercise at all, and expects to end up in perfect shape just like that. Or Venus for artistic goals, but doesn't even try to draw. Magic is kind of like water, in the sense that it must flow and be properly directed somewhere...

Discipline, and the understanding that something is necessary for your advancement and growth. Often times, it's the level of ability and power we realize we have developed after habitually performing particular tasks over a long period of time, from which we derive a sense of fulfillment, and...

Being mixed race does not necessarily limit your capabilities as an individual, or the heights you're able to reach as a human being, especially not as an SS. It is our personal efforts to improve our inner world and strive for the achievements we set for ourselves, that determines our success...

I laughed as well as soon as I saw it, heard it in my mind as well. "Ah shiieeet, here we go again"

Hey existentialcrisis, thank you for the recommendation. I have not heard of that book, but it sounds like it possesses some incredible methods. Despite not having read the book myself, what you describe sounds somewhat similar to a procedure I forged for myself, which consists of partially...

Thank you again, Afodo. I do hope that this appears in the library for my contribution to be immortalized. I am indeed doing better now; I was working on releasing books and all sorts of hectic stuff. I would love to, but since I have a very unique art style, I'll have to wait to post my art...

Greetings, fellow artists and those aspiring. After 6 months or so of ridiculous life circumstances, I have now returned to deliver to you the final, conclusive update of this thread! That doesn't mean I will never provide art advice again, or that I will not create more threads in this...
