Do you all want to see a puppy that was so fucking hugelarge his mom had to get a C-section only specifically because of this puppy
big baby!!!
My child.
My friend’s dog had the same happen. They were supposed to have 4 puppies, they got one single puppy the size of 4 newborns bc he absorbed his siblings before they were fully developed. They named him Pangea.
I don’t even know. It’s from a book about languages my friend’s been reading. (it’s creepy that I can understand it …)
It was actually invented with that purpose: anyone who spoke any European language should be able to understand esperanto. It was meant to be a lingua franca.
STOP WHAT YOU’RE DOING Y’ALL AND TELL ME IF YOU UNDERSTAND THIS
I,understand about a half of it, I speak some dutch
“What Happened? Did your computer catch a virus? Did you suddenly develop BSE [mad cow disease]?”
Between German, English, Latin, a bit of French, Dutch, Spanish and Italian that was actually pretty readable to me.
I speak English and a very little spanish, and I can read it.
I only speak two languages (English and Spanish) and I got this loud and clear
I know it is somewhere in the notes already, because I have seen it pointed out before, but this is NOT ESPERANTO. Esperanto is a completely different language which, yeas, was developed as intended lingua franca, but this is not it. And also it cannot be understood like this, it has to be learned. It is designed to be easy to learn for any European language speakers, but it has to be learned.
This is EUROPEANTO, and appears to be just a bunch of different languages mixed together, and none of them slavic. Esperanto is half slavic. Don’t get me wrong this is hella cool, and I love it, it’s just not Esperanto.
Western media likes to portray witches as either synonymous with Wicca, Medieval High Ceremonial magic, or just straight-up crazy goth girls. Some people are into those things, but that’s not the only kind of witchcraft that exists.
There are magical traditions in every culture and religious pursuasion, but it’s an inadequacy of the English language when we assume “witch” must equate to Wicca, Medieval High Ceremonial magic, or otherwise vaguely metaphysical traditions rooted in Europe.
Go research magical traditions in other cultures. There are TONS. If the gothic white European spin on witchcraft doesn’t work for you, look elsewhere. You don’t have to be Wiccan to be a witch—Wicca is a religion, whereas witchcraft is a universally-practiced phenomenon that transcends religious affiliation.
You don’t have to summon demons or draw pentagrams on everything to be a witch. You don’t have to follow Wiccan beliefs. You don’t have to celebrate Samhain or meditate with crystals or do tarot. You don’t need a familiar, you don’t need to obsess over ghosts or want to curse people. You don’t “need” anything but your own personal convictions and beliefs, a healthy understanding of what you want in life, and a willingness to learn and change. Anyone who tells you that you “need” to buy all these fancy supplies and subscribe to a specific religion in order to be a “real” witch is deluded. No one defines your magical practice but you.
For all you baby witches who have no earthly idea where to start learning about witchcraft, I absolutely recommend Judika Illes’ “Encyclopedia of Witchcraft”. She’s an incredible author whose books are rich with historic, anthropologic, and culturally-diverse information about witchcraft. You’ll learn about the history of the Witch Craze of 15th century Europe; famous grimoires; the origins of witchcraft, and their roots in older female shamanic traditions; various spirits associated with witchcraft; and a whole encyclopedia of magical terms from many different cultures. It’s SO useful. Please read it.
If you want to get into witchcraft, don’t feel obligated to only study Wicca or medieval European occultism. There’s so much more to it than that. If you find Wicca or High Ceremonial magic really speak to you, cool! But research the hell out of witchcraft in general. Odds are, there’s a tradition or practice that really speaks to you on a deep, spiritual level. In the end, you want to feel more connected to yourself and to nature through your practice. It should never make you feel “bad” or uncomfortable. It should feel like coming home.
Sorry this was kinda long. But read “The Encyclopedia of Witchcraft” by Judika Illes! Seriously, it’s a baby witch’s jackpot.
