Jinx Removing Bath Crystal Recipe

Sometimes negative energy attaches itself to you either through your own self-doubt or as a result of spiritual attack sent against you by others, either way the result can be a sudden string of bad luck, or in other words a jinx.

To create jinx removing bath salts you will need 1 cup epsom salts, 1 cup sea salt, 7 drops Ginger essential oil, 7 drops Lemon essential oil, 7 drops Lemongrass essential oil, 1 4×4 inch piece of paper, an ink pen and 1 tbsp of dried Lemon Verbena. Cleanse the inside and outside of a glass or crystal bowl with incense smoke.

Combine all the ingredients together and mix them with a wooden spoon. When you add the essential oils make sure to spread them out across the surface of the salt instead of concentrating all the drops in one area. Place the bowl on your altar.

On the piece of paper write the words "Cleanse, Purify, Enhance, Enchant, Lucky! Lucky! Lucky!". Roll up the paper and tie it together with some string, bury it in the salt blend. Place a piece of Clear Quartz Crystal on top of the salt blend. Leave the bowl alone for 3 days, on the 4th day remove the scroll of paper from the bowl and set it on fire, add the ashes from the paper into the salt and mix them together.

To use the bath crystals start by taking a shower to wash off the grime of your body. Add 1/3 cup of the bath crystals to a glass or crystal bowl. Stir the bath crystals and the water together for a few minutes until the crystals have dissolved. Fill the tub with hot water and add the salt water mix. Imagine that negative energy is washing off of you like so much dark gunk into the tub. Relax and enjoy a soak.

When you get out of the bath don't towel dry and don't rinse off, allow yourself to air-dry. If you live in a cold environment you can use a hair dryer. This recipe can also be added to spiritual floor washes and the laundry.- Zwahk Muchoney (Image from Unsplash.com)

Why I Headcanon Belle from Beauty and the Beast as Asexual

Some of you seeing this post may be thinking 'But how could Belle be asexual when the whole point of the movie was her falling in love with the Beast?' Just for clarification, asexuality and aromantic mean different things. Someone who is asexual feels little to no sexual attraction, wherein someone who is aromantic feels little to no romantic attraction. That being said, upon rewatching Disney's Beauty and the Beast several times, it's come to my attention just how little signs of sexual attraction Belle conveys throughout the film, and being ace myself, I find how much I relate to her now that I have a better understanding of my own sexuality.

At the beginning of the film, it's established that Belle is not really interested in finding a relationship with anyone in her village. She is an introverted bookworm, and she has a hard time connecting with the other villagers. At the same time however, she's happy just reading her stories all day and helping her father in his shop. She's expressed a longing for a connection (but not neccasarily of the romantic/sexual kind) in her song 'Belle' and the reprise.

There is also the subject of Gaston. Gaston has been established to be the most handsome man in the village, and all the women want him. All except Belle. Not once during any of Belle's interactions with Gaston did she show any signs of attraction towards him. Only disgust and annoyance. The closest sign of 'attraction' on Belle's end was when she admitted to him being handsome, but only as a followup to what her father said about Gaston, and immediately rebuttled with a clear "He's not for me." Additionally, there was an exchange between the three blonde women that Belle must have something wrong with her for not being attracted to Gaston (a common thing allos have said about ace people BTW).

Now you may be thinking 'so she wasn't attracted to Gaston, but what about the Beast? She eventually falls in love with him, so she must've had some form of attraction right?' Those of you who think this forget that the whole point of the story was that Belle falls in love with the Beast DESPITE his looks. When she first meets him, she's repulsed by him, even going so far as to say that she wants nothing to do with him. It isn't until the Beast begins to show his true kind self, that she begins to form a connection with him. During the song "Something There", when Belle and the Beast begin to form a true friendship, she sings the lyrics 'True that he's no Prince Charming' meaning that she still does not find him physically attractive. She follows the lyrics with 'But there's something in him that I simply didn't see.' This shows that although she still finds his appearance jarring, she realizes that he is more than what he appears to be, and so her budding attraction towards him is not physical/sexual, but rather platonic (at least at this point in the story).

As established at the movie's prologue, the Beast's curse can only be broken when he learns to love someone, and earn that person's love in return. Belle and the Beast's relationship continues to grow throughout the film, but Belle does not truly realize she loves him until the end of the film, when the curse finally breaks. Before that point, her feelings for the Beast were platonic, and she refers to him as her 'friend' various times beforehand. During the scene when she does confess her love for him, it was after he had risked his life for her, and after he had spared Gaston when he had tried to kill him. Belle had fallen in love with the Beast because she was attracted to who he was, not what he looked like. Even after the curse had broken, and he had transformed back into a handsome prince, Belle looked more bewildered and confused upon seeing him rather than showing attraction to his new form. She had to look into his eyes to recognize that the man who stood before her was in fact the Beast she had fallen in love with. It was only then that she lovingly kissed him.

In conclusion, I believe Belle from Disney's Beauty and the Beast shows signs of being ace-spec (and possibly demiromantic since she had not fallen in love with the Beast until she had gotten to know him as a person). She showed no interest in the most sexually appealing man in her village, and instead fell in love after forming a true connection with someone who was not conventionally attractive. Thank you for reading.

Kenny's watching, too 😄

And Take-chan hasn't even gone nearly as hard as he can yet...

Kenny in his one-winged gear stopping dead to stare blankly at that “WHAT WOULD KOTA THINK?” sign–Don Callis even making sure to pull the eye toward it–is just a fantastic moment.

Kota Ibushi vs Kenny Omega - DDT PRO

WRESTLING.

Omega was later asked if his story with Kota Ibushi is over. “I doubt it. I doubt it,” Omega stated. “If I were a betting man, I would say it’s safe to say that — when real life is involved, when it’s more than just the wrestling in the ring, and now, as time goes by, promotions and fans are listening more and responding more to what they want to see in professional wrestling. We talk about ‘the forbidden door’ or this concept that if you wrestle for one promotion, there’s no way you could intermingle with another. “Slowly but surely, those borders are disintegrating. They’re evaporating. We’ve seen Impact talent on AEW. We’ve seen New Japan talent in AEW. We’ve seen our talent go elsewhere as well, and who knows where the future lies? There may be more special guests and surprises in the future, and for me, I am a storyteller. Way more than I like professionally wrestling, I enjoy telling stories, physical stories in the ring, and for me, I love stories that have an ending. “I love stories that have a beginning, a middle, and an end, and I have a lot of stories that have yet to have a final chapter. That story is yet to close, and I would love, with however long on my health allows me to, I would love for that book to have its final chapter written. And that goes not only for that but for quite a few other stories in my career as well. “I would love to be able to close the book and just, sort of, at the end of it, all look back and be proud that these stories that I pictured in my wacky little brain. They had a beginning, a middle and an end and that I was able to close that book happily. And for someone who as influential as Ibushi was to my career inside and outside of it, I feel that it would just be an injustice to for it to die. So who knows?”
