Older Gen book lovers (& obscure sci-fi readers) Pls read
My stepdad was born in the late 50s and always goes on about this book read when he was younger which he “Wish he could find again”. He’s got cancer (and had a range of issues this way) so I’m trying to find it for a Christmas present.
The only thing I know about it though, is that it’s set in a world where the first person POV Is being invaded by a being unknown, and the POV is defending themselves.
Except the plot twist at the end is that the POV are from sloths and the invading force are humans.
The book could be from around 70s, probably an obscure book.
If you don’t know anything about this book please reblog this so more people can see it, I’m desperate thanks!!

I’ll never know something as terrifying as writing poetry in front of a loved one; it’s such a vulnerable feeling.

Witch Tips pt 3
╱╲❀╱╲╱╲❀╱╲╱╲❀╱╲
List of Closed Practices:
A list Of Closed Or Semi-Closed Practices, Objects And Religions
White sage: A sacred herb used in Indigenous American practices and currently endangered. Used in smudging rituals.
Palo Santo: An aged wood that is burned in South American practices and currently endangered. Palo Santo is important to Hispanic/latinx culture and is currently endangered. Commercial buying of this wood is generally looked down upon by those not belonging to this group of people.
Dream catchers: A hand-made woven willow hoop adorned with sacred items made by Indigenous Americans. Any that are not made by an indigenous American is not a true dream catcher.
Sweetgrass: Considered sacred to Indigenous Americans and is used in smudging rituals. Also is currently endangered.
Practices:
Smudging: A sacred, elaborate, exclusively Indigenous American ritual using smoke. Very different from smoke cleansing an area.
Spirit Guides/Spirit Animals: A purely Indigenous American belief/ part of the religion of certain tribes. Nobody not belonging to this group simply does not have one.
Egg Limpia: A South American practice to cleanse oneself using an egg.
Karma: A Hinduism belief/concept that the energy someone builds in their life (good or bad) affects how their later lives turn out.
Chakras: A term specific to Hinduism and Buddhism referencing various focal points on the body used in meditation practices. Within Kundali yoga breath exercises, visualizations, mudras, bandhas, kriyas, and mantras are focused on manipulating the flow of subtle energies through chakras
Sour Jars: A spell belonging to hoodoo and vodou and various other closed practices using a jar to hex.
Haitian Vodou: A polytheistic, syncretic religion coming from west African (Yoruba and Fon) Roman Catholicism. Developed among Afro-Haitian communities amid the Atlantic slave trade and the main religion in Haiti as well as Catholicism.
Hoodoo: A syncretic religion created by enslaved Africans, this religion is practiced in the Caribbean and in southern America, an amalgamation of spiritual practices, traditions, and beliefs that were held in secret away from white slaveholders.
Santeria: a polytheistic, syncretic religion originating in Cuba and combines Yoruba and Roman Catholic beliefs. Also developed during the Atlantic slave trade.
Many Native American cultures
Many African cultures
Saami (in Finland)
Religions
Shinto (There are branches of Shinto practice that are open, but this kind of practice should be approached with a high level of respect, and some branches are definitely closed. Jinja Shinto would be to most prominent example of an open denomination)
Druidism (proper not neo)
Gardnerian and Alexandrian Wicca
Haitian Vodou
Hawaiian
Some parts of African Vodou (It depends on the section/group/family etc.)
Hinduism (There are denominations of Hinduism that are open and available, just as there are sects that are closed. Some of the “open sects are highly problematic, and so it does one to be very careful when looking at joining a sect of Hindu faith. Dharmic law is part of what makes this a little sticky to navigate, so best to be approached with deference and caution. )
Hopi
Inuit
Judaism (You must earn the right to be called Jewish)
Raastafari Movement
Tribal (almost all)
Voodoo (Dependent on the group which you decide to learn from)
Voudon
Zoroastrianism
Practices Requiring Education
Kemetic Orthodox- This does not require an initiation per say, but does require a rite of passage of sorts and there is a series of coursework that should be completed.
Tibetan: closed
Hindu: closed
Semitic: closed
polynesian: closed
Indian: closed
Russian: closed
Aztec: closed
Aryan: closed
Maori: closed
Lapp: closed
Voodooloa: closed
Etruscan: closed
Native American: closed
Stregheria: closed

The only difference between a pentacle and a pentagram is there is a circle around the star in a pentacle. That’s it. Both give you protection, both are used in rituals.
╱╲❀╱╲╱╲❀╱╲╱╲❀╱╲
Both burry spell jars, its bad for the environment.
╱╲❀╱╲╱╲❀╱╲╱╲❀╱╲
When writing your spells, be very specific. Don’t just put “I want happiness.”
Instead put: “I wish to be happy, surrounded by friend and family that love me.” or “I wish to be happy, living comfortably in my easy going job.” The more detailed, the better.
╱╲❀╱╲╱╲❀╱╲╱╲❀╱╲
Some crystals bleach in sunlight, some crystals dissolve in water. Please research before buying expensive crystals and letting them lay around.
╱╲❀╱╲╱╲❀╱╲╱╲❀╱╲
wiccan/witch sabbats are not real, the word they should’ve use is “solar holidays” or “wheel of the year”
Esbats, wheel of the year/solar holidays are real and fine!! Though, sabbats aren’t. Their origins are anti-semetic. https://twitter.com/honeybeebuggy/status/1373334936225075203?s=21 https://www.jewitches.com/post/witch-history-jews-and-the-witchcraze
Except for: the Christian Sabbath which is a day of ‘religious observance and abstinence from work’.
╱╲❀╱╲╱╲❀╱╲╱╲❀╱╲
