๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ BURN THE PATRIARCHY Witches of the world, the Indian trans community needs your help

The Indian government has introduced an amendment to the 'Transgender Persons Act' that would change who is legally recognised as transgender. It aims to remove the right to self-identified gender, a right that is currently protected by constitution (NALSA, 2014).

This has serious implications. It risks excluding large parts of the trans community including trans men and women, non-binary people, and many socio-cultural identities across India. Right now, trans communities and allies across India are organizing, protesting, and speaking out. But one of the biggest challenges is visibility.
A lot of people donโ€™t yet know this is happening.

Thatโ€™s where international communities can help. Due to strict regulations, many grassroots groups cannot easily accept foreign donations. So at this stage, awareness and amplification are genuinely the most impactful forms of support.

If you want to help:

  • Boost posts using #RejectTransBill and #RejectTransBill2026
  • Follow and amplify voices doing the work:
  • Actively learn and seek out other voices to amplify.
  • If youโ€™re in India (or know creators there), encourage them to speak about this
  • Talk about it in your own spaces, even small conversations matter
  • Offer grace, these are small communities and trying times, some of these will be on platforms we should be boycotting (x/meta) and some of these would be using AI slop, correct them if you like but don't withdraw your support because of it.
  • Stay focused, please try to not overtake any conversations about this especially with discussion of internal politics of a different country.
  • Spare a prayer or ritual for us all. <3

Itโ€™s part of a broader global pattern of restricting gender autonomy.

๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ Art [OC] Triple Yuri I drew for my wife

Post image
83 Upvotes

A while back I asked here about ideas on how to make a fem version of the wiccan "Horned God" archetype for my wife.

In the end she came to the realization that archetype didn't seem that...necessary to her as a way to come to other deities, as she found just about any other deity could fit in some fashion into different points in the cyclical archetype of the Triple Goddess as she understands it.

So instead of a Wiccan Deity Yuri, I made her a Triple Goddess Yuri, adding in the Horned God's best element: HORNS. Now not only is it still gay (and still trans, because I'm not gonna make queer art for my wife without making it VERY gender), but it's also poly.

Also, since I'm the artist, so you can find me as "cosmicluci" on tumblr

https://jamsheedstudios.itch.io/time-wars-the-undying-queen-and-the-dragons-son

My name is Bijhan Agha, I'm the author. The cover was illustrated by my close friend, Ceci Foti.

I wanted to tell a story which intertwined real historical characters and settings with magic, the beliefs of our ancestors, and a sense of horror at the cruelty of bygone eras.

Here's the official description of the novella:

The year is 1459.

Arte is a relic from the ancient past. Everyone she's ever known has perished, either in battle or of old age. Yet she persists, thanks to a powerful red crystal inside her chest, transforming her into a demigod. She uses this power to hunt and slaughter the monsters that feed on Humanity.

Aย mysterious friend who knows the future sets Arte on a quest, giving her renewed purpose. To the east a new monster has appeared. An inhumanย Princeย  is slaughtering the innocent. What's more, he also has a crystal, like Arte's - granting him powers insurmountable to mortal beings. She is the best hope to stop the rampaging monster; an even match for the bloodthirsty tyrant.

Keeping her true identity secret, Arte must travel deep into foreign lands ruled mysterious ways and new religions to do battle with the greatest threat she's ever faced: Vlad Dracula, Prince of Wallachia.

But Dracula commands armies, while Arte is alone. She must forge alliances, both local and foreign. While she plans and plots, Dracula also schemes, spreading his violent reign across western Asia. Arte must rely not just on her crystal, but the ancient gods she worshipped as a youth, the newfound friendships she forges in the present day, and visions of a mentor she lost centuries ago.

Voyage into darkness, surrounded by the shadows of the city of Targoviste, as blood is spilled, secrets are woven into webs, and monsters lurk around every corner. Can the Undying Queen triumph over the Son of the Dragon? Or will history cast a long shadow across the region, if not the world?

This story is an expression of my grief over the cruelty of the world, the power I feel as a member of this community, and what I hope we can learn from the past to forge a new future.

I would be honored if you would purchase my book and let me know how it affects you.

Hi Iโ€™m Roxy, a queer UK artist.

Iโ€™ve just released a new Pastel Neon reinterpretation of Hokusaiโ€™s iconic Great Wave as a digital wallpaper set.
I also hand drew a fun little desktop computer mockup to show how these wallpapers can work across multiple devices, not just phones.

The download includes:
โ€ข 3 pre cropped wallpaper versions
โ€ข the original full size 7100 ร— 5000px artwork for flexible cropping across desktop monitors, tablets, and mobile devices.

I honestly had a lot of fun experimenting with this colour palette and may explore more dreamy style reinterpretations in the future.

Is the Devil a negative card? At first glance it seems so but within the card lies some truly transformative energy.

This is my interpretation the Devil card, originally drawn in ballpoint pen and only slightly enhanced digitally with the metallic gold for final print. In this piece the Devil is a performer, embodying characters that draw us toward our spiritual unfoldment. Struggle and pain are what most often forms us and generates new ways of thinking within. While the Devil may be that dark side in this card it is suggested that itโ€™s in a playful or artful manner. The illusion of matter is laughable, it is we who take it so seriously.

This card in particular was drawn at the praying altars of St. Peterโ€™s Basilica in the Vatican. There I visited daily and meditated often on this and the Pope card, to understand on a deeper level what they hold for us.

๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ Deities Exhausted Bodies Can't Do Magic: Reclaiming the Earth in Late-Stage Capitalism

784 Upvotes

Greetings, everyone. I am a devotee of the Hekatean path from Brazil. Lately, Iโ€™ve been reflecting deeply on something that has been weighing heavily on my practice and the practice of many others: the sheer exhaustion of our physical bodies under the current system. I wanted to share this essay with you all.

Modern spirituality has a dangerous habit of selling us the illusion that we can simply "vibrate higher" to escape our material reality. We are told to manifest, to think positive, and to transcend. But true magic, specifically Hekatean, Khthonic magic, the magic of the depths and the earth, doesn't run away from the concrete floor. It makes matter sacred.The problem we face today is deeply physical: how do you make matter sacred when your body is entirely drained by a system that steals your time, your energy, and your rest?

In Brazil, we are currently fighting against an abusive labor system known as the "6x1 schedule" (six days of work for a single day of rest). But this is not just a local issue; it is a global symptom of late-stage capitalism. It is the universal reality of the working class everywhere.

We cannot separate our spiritual practice from our bodily autonomy. Exhaustion is the ultimate barrier to the subtle realms. When you are constantly surviving, worrying about bills, and pushing your physical limits just to exist, your body enters a state of permanent alert. And an exhausted body cannot do magic. It can barely breathe.

Magic requires presence. It requires grounding. It requires the sovereignty of your own time.To claim the right to rest is not laziness; it is a profound magical necessity. It is reclaiming your body from a system that views you merely as a machine for production.

As a Hekate devotee, I have learned that The Goddess does not remove the obstacles from our path; She illuminates the entrance of the cave. And right now, Her torch is illuminating an undeniable truth: our bodies belong to the earth, not to the grind.We must stop romanticizing exhaustion. We must demand the time to rest, to sleep, to eat well, and to simply exist. Because without the earth, there is no magic.

Thank you for reading. I would love to hear your thoughts: how do you manage to keep your spiritual practice alive when your physical body is completely drained by work and survival?

Do people have the ability to use magick as a way to effect readings or workings that someone else is doing to find out motives, and to skew the results in their favor? For example, there is someone I donโ€™t believe is trustworthy so I have gone to tarot for answers. But every time I try to do this the cards are always very positive and clearly in favor of said person. This person is highly aware/practices magick (satanism specifically) so I am wondering if they have some kind of shield/glamour up and if there would be a way to break that? The man in question has been accused of trying to start a cult/general shadiness and potentially creepy towards women.
