What helps you reclaim your power when you feel out of alignment? in the forum LGBTQ+ Support and Discussion 5 days, 18 hours ago
yeah that hits. for me it’s music, 100%. like, blast it loud and let my body move however it wants. sometimes it’s messy, sometimes it’s still, but it shakes the static off. also candles. don’t ask me why, but lighting a candle and just sitting with it helps me find my way back. reminds me that there’s a flame in me too, even when i forget. a…[Read more]

Crystals and Stones in Practice in the forum Living Paganism: Ritual, Revival & Nature-Based Paths 5 days, 18 hours ago
onyx is my go-to. always has been. i feel like it pulls shit outta you too. not in a dramatic way like some stones that blow your shadow wide open, but more like… quiet absorption. it helps me see what’s mine and what i’ve picked up from other ppl, esp when i’ve been around messy energy.

Do you work with plant spirits or herbal rituals? in the forum Living Paganism: Ritual, Revival & Nature-Based Paths 5 days, 18 hours ago

Do you feel the veil shift at solstices and equinoxes? in the forum Living Paganism: Ritual, Revival & Nature-Based Paths 5 days, 18 hours ago
yeah 100%. solstices hit different. equinox too but solstice feels like… a crack opens. i don’t always have a plan but i feel it… like pressure building behind the veil. sunrise on those days feels electric. i don’t do big rituals unless it calls for it. sometimes i just sit outside, barefoot, breathe, and talk to whatever’s listening. i’ve le…[Read more]

How do you create sacred space for ritual? in the forum Living Paganism: Ritual, Revival & Nature-Based Paths 5 days, 18 hours ago
don’t need a crystal grid or a temple. sacred space is wherever i decide it is. sometimes it’s just lighting one black candle on the floor and putting on music that hits the right frequency. i’ve done full rituals in a bathroom before. it’s the energy that matters, not the backdrop. cleanse w/ salt if u can’t burn stuff. trace a circle in the ai…[Read more]

Use of Sacred Substances in Healing in the forum The Shamanic Path: Initiation, Spirit, and Healing 5 days, 18 hours ago
Yeah. I’ve sat with a few things, mushrooms mostly. First time wasn’t fancy. Just me, the woods, and a lotta questions I didn’t know I had. But it cracked me wide open. Felt like the Earth itself was speakin. Showed me the parts of myself I’d buried just to get by. Thing is, it ain’t a game. These ain’t party drugs. They’re keys. And if you don’t…[Read more]

What has been your most powerful experience in non-ordinary reality? in the forum The Shamanic Path: Initiation, Spirit, and Healing 5 days, 19 hours ago
Bike laid out on a back road don’t even know how I lived. I remember the hit, the sound, then nothing. Just this quiet. Then I was gone. I saw the Earth from above. Real quiet, real clear. And I saw energy movin all over. Every emotion like a ripple. Folks sendin out anger and fear. It stuck more than the good stuff. Clung to places. Built up o…[Read more]

Have you experienced a crisis that felt like an initiation? in the forum The Shamanic Path: Initiation, Spirit, and Healing 5 days, 19 hours ago
Yeah. I been through one of those. Wrecked my bike few years back. Wasn’t sure I was gonna make it. One minute I’m flyin down the highway, wind in my face, feelin free. Next thing I know, I’m layin in a ditch starin up at the sky, blood in my mouth, thinkin… so this is it. But it wasn’t.
Something changed after that. Like the world cracked…[Read more] -

Did the ancients use advanced tech to shape stone? in the forum Ancient Technology and Temple Design 5 days, 19 hours ago
I’m leanin toward a mix. Some geopolymer tech, sure, but also acoustic tools or tuned fields we ain’t got names for anymore. And if I’m bein real, some of this tech might not even be from this planet. It’s too clean, too advanced, like someone handed em the blueprint. You got magnetically aligned stones, cuts so sharp they look laser-made, and pla…[Read more]

What do you make of the 800-ton trilithon stones at Baalbek? in the forum Ancient Technology and Temple Design 5 days, 19 hours ago
Look, Baalbek ain’t just a big temple. It’s massive bigger than any Greek or Roman structure that came after it. Folks call it the “Temple of Jupiter,” but that label came way later. The base was already ancient when the Romans got there. They just built on top of it. Some say it lines up with solstice points or star systems. Wouldn’t surprise…[Read more]

What role do you think obelisks played in ancient energetic systems? in the forum Ancient Technology and Temple Design 5 days, 19 hours ago
Yeah, I been diggin into this a bit. Makes a lotta sense. Granite’s got quartz. When you put it in the right shape, under pressure or with vibration, it does things. I think those obelisks were part of a grid, some sort of power system. My guess? They were stabilizers. Maybe even amplifiers.

What was the real purpose of the Osirion at Abydos? in the forum Ancient Technology and Temple Design 5 days, 19 hours ago
Tucked behind the Temple of Seti I at Abydos lies the Osirion, a mysterious and deeply sunken structure made of megalithic granite blocks. Its architectural style stands in stark contrast to the temple above it. With its perfectly fitted stones, deep underground water channel, and absence of inscriptions in its original form, the Osirion feels…[Read more]

What do you make of the 800-ton trilithon stones at Baalbek? in the forum Ancient Technology and Temple Design 5 days, 19 hours ago
In the ancient temple complex of Baalbek (modern-day Lebanon), three enormous stones, called the Trilithon, sit at the base of the Temple of Jupiter, each weighing over 800 tons. These megaliths are among the largest ever used in construction anywhere on Earth. Even more astonishing, they were precisely placed atop other large stones already…[Read more]

What was the function of Egyptian “false doors”? in the forum Ancient Technology and Temple Design 5 days, 19 hours ago
In ancient Egyptian tombs and temples, a peculiar feature appears again and again: the false door. These are intricately carved stone panels, often placed on the western wall of a chamber, the symbolic direction of the setting sun, and the gateway to the unseen. Though they lead nowhere physically, they were as essential part of every tomb.
False…[Read more]

What role do you think obelisks played in ancient energetic systems? in the forum Ancient Technology and Temple Design 5 days, 20 hours ago
Ancient obelisks are towering, carefully carved pillars made of granite, a quartz-rich stone with natural piezoelectric and paramagnetic properties. Quartz can store, amplify, and conduct energy, especially when cut to specific geometries.
The ancient builders understood that certain shapes, like the tapering vertical of the obelisk, enhance…[Read more]

What kind of technology was built into the pyramids of Giza? in the forum Ancient Technology and Temple Design 5 days, 20 hours ago
The Great Pyramid of Giza is aligned almost perfectly to magnetic North, within a fraction of a degree. Beneath it lies a vast and little-discussed subterranean structure that extends over a mile into the Earth, including chambers, shafts, and what may have been flowing water systems. This suggests a complexity that goes far beyond traditional…[Read more]

Did the ancients use advanced tech to shape stone? in the forum Ancient Technology and Temple Design 5 days, 20 hours ago
Many ancient temples and monuments show evidence of precision that still puzzles modern engineers. Massive stones fitted with no mortar, curved cuts through granite, and blocks too large to move with today’s equipment raise big questions.
Some suggest these stones weren’t carved, but formed. Theorists point to sound-based shaping, hig…[Read more]
