@geekysteven and the frog said, “boots and cats and boots and cats and boots and cats and boots and cats”
Dressed as a dark elf sorcerex for a Twelfth Night party last weekend and felt very good about it!
I’ve been remembering my dreams regularly for the first time in a while. Most of them aren’t anything too exciting, but I know writing them down helps them stick and makes it more likely I’ll keep remembering. I’ve accepted that most are going to read as pretty mundane.
This #dream though makes me sound like a disgruntled boomer writing a yelp review, which is a whole other level of mundane

(Part 4)
Gaze until the timer runs out.
Bow to acknowledge the orb.
Write down what you saw in the orb. Do not write down anything you saw on the surface.
Let the candle to your god burn all the way down.

(Part 3)
If your form within the reflection turns deep black and faceless, maintain your focus. You are successfully gazing past the surface to the center of the orb. If you see colors or shapes moving in the darkness, make note of what they are.
If you see something moving in the reflection itself, remember it is only on the surface.
If you feel disoriented, return to awareness of your body, breath, and energy field. After a few mindful breaths, you may return to gazing.
Microfiction
(Part 2)
No matter how much light you have eliminated from the room, you will see some reflection of yourself and the room around you. Remember that this is only an image on the orb’s surface. Your goal is to look past this image to the center. Relax your gaze into soft focus.
Do not make prolonged eye contact with your own reflection.

How to Gaze into an Obsidian Orb
A work of semi-fiction
(Part 1)
Make sure you are protected. No need to go overboard: a piece of evil eye jewelry, a pinch of salt, and a candle dedicated to your favorite god should suffice.
Eliminate as much light as you can from the room while still being able to see the orb itself.
Set a timer. Fifteen minutes is a good time to start with.
Sit and make yourself comfortable.
Start to gaze.
@mavica_again Thanks 🖤 it’s a cruel irony that coming out and going on low-dose T for a few years made me far more comfortable with feminine presentations and therefore less confident that I’ll be read correctly.
Not me feeling dysphoric after posting this because I think everyone is going to assume I’m a trans woman rather than a nonbinary trans man 😩
Nobody said anything to give me that impression, but the feeling was still there. Selfie backfired 🙃
Selfie time!
The honey earrings are some of my favorite pieces of jewelry. They usually come out when I want to feel particularly luxurious.
@NicolaElle @intentionaut I have only ever considered one set of knuckle tats, and it’s TIME LORD. Regeneration is trans culture!
@busescanfly What cereal would you put your cold brew on, whether straight brew or a latte? I’m thinking Cocoa Pebbles or Honey Nut Cheerios.
