"An ancient philosopher once said that the bee extracts honey from the pollen of the flower, while from the same source the spider extracts poison. The problem which then confronts us is: are we bees or spiders? Do we transform the experiences of life into honey, or do we change them into poison? Do they lift us, or do we eternally rebel against the pricks? Many people become soured by experience, but the wise one takes the honey and builds it into the beehive of his own spiritual nature."

~ Manly P Hall

Soulcraft Beer in Salida. I gotta say I love that every Colorado town has at least one brewery. Nice patio and knowledgeable staff. Though the whole flight was really well done I was super impressed by the chili beer. They are really hard to do well and they made the chilies the star without weirding it out. Very nice job... #soulcraft #salidacolorado #beer #craftbrewery #coloradobeers #greenchile (at Soulcraft Beer) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjeC3E_pNb0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Even in the most chaotic time, it flows.

The last polls to create the new side character are a random talent, a fear, and a dominant personality trait 👀 Their name will be chosen once all the polls close, if you want to suggest a name you can leave it in my askbox or in the comments of one poll, and I'll pick max 10 to put in a final poll!

Without further ado,

the other polls related to the creation of this character are tagged #soulcrafting

The nearest kind of association is not mere perceptual cognition, but, rather, a handling, using, and taking care of things which has its own kind of 'knowledge.'

Sefton Delmer has written that the shock of Germany’s defeat, the inflation, the get-rich-quick boom that followed stabilization, the influx of foreign money, and the ensuing economic crash, all combined to produce an atmosphere of unreality, which encouraged the emergence of a caste of ‘miracle men’. [Herbert] Reichstein’s advertisements for revelational books, horoscopes, and other mantic consultations, special medical preparations, soaps, salves, and toothpastes, no less his warning against competitive ‘charlatans’, demonstrate his membership of this caste. The statements of the Reichstein circle regarding their indebtedness to Lanz von Liebenfels all expressed gratitude for their salvation from a meaningless life and depression. Ariosophy was a single element in a diffuse subculture geared to the alleviation of stress and disappointment among individuals who felt a profound betrayal of their expectations and cultural values during the final years of the German Republic.

"I just want to provide for you what no one provided for me. What I couldn't do in my own life - I want to give you the space and peace of mind to cocoon yourself. To give yourself the opportunity to explore the expanses of your soul and to follow your creativity without having to worry about the crushing weight of reality."

My partner saying the sweetest and most romantic thing anyone has ever said to me.

Heartstones for the ask game, please?

Thank you both @niennawept and @hobbityalse for asking about this one!! I decided to do this all in one vs a copy/paste since they were both sitting in my inbox :)

Anyway, Heartstones, a plot bunny that has been put on the back burner for some time now, but I feel like it needs to be bumped up!

-> the plot bunny

And while this plot bunny is still really relevant, some of the actual lore of "Soulmates" in this fic has changed just a teeny bit as I've put this fic into development mode. Here are some facts for you guys!

Each race has their own idea of "Soulmates" - for dwarves it's their heartstone, for hobbits it's their heartbloom, for elves it's their heartsong, and for men, it's heartfelt.

Dwarves are born with a little grain in their hands - this is the start of their heartstone, that grows over time, much like how crystals can form. It does not take on a color, or a particular meaning until they've found their One, and bonded.

Dwarves also have an alternative, if they are not destined for a soulmate. A soulcraft, or rather, Heartcraft. It's held in high regards, and more common across the dwarven race.

Hobbits are born with a seed in their hands - similarly to dwarves, the flower grows, it's like, the slowest growing plant ever unless you're fortunate to meet your soulmate early in life. It blossoms and gains fragrance after meeting and bonding with their soulmate. (and no, it doesn't die like normal plants).

It's an Erebor never fell, fic! Frerin is alive, we have good King Thror! Basically everyone (in his family) is super supportive of Thorin for not having found his Heartstone or his Heartcraft.

Frerin has taken it upon himself to lead Thorin across Middle Earth in search of his Heartstone, or Heartcraft, anything to make his older brother happy - which leads them to the Farthings.

Bilbo acts as a guide for the princes, and you know...things happen.

There are SO MANY MORE details about Thorin and Bilbo I could toss in here, but there also needs to be some SURPRISE to it as well!! I hope this is an enticing premise at my take on a soulmate story!

Thinking about Qanon, antisemitism and historical conspiracy theory with a dash of bad faith spiritualism, are they the ongoing inheritors of the Silver Legion? https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/meet-screenwriting-mystic-who-wanted-be-american-fuhrer-180970449/

(if you have the time for recreational reading, which with your other projects you may very well not, I commend to you Gangsters Vs. Nazis by Michael Benson, an interesting insight into how the historical times that modern-day fash so long for actually dealt with them on the domestic front)

PELLY. THE SOULCRAFT BITCH.

Yes. I'm well aware of this asshole. His post-fail Christian UFO cult is very funny though. Loser.

Artwork for my new album as Soul▲Craft. Really enjoyed making this. I was going for that duo tone look and I think the experiment was an overall success.

If this is your sort of thing, be sure to check it out over at Bandcamp.
