Hot take, apparently, but genuinely harassing or insulting anyone's religion is not ok.

Criticizing religious institutions, proselytizing, extremism, or horrible behaviors/beliefs done in the name of a religion? YES! Totally. That should be criticized.

Unpromptedly popping up on random posts by religious folks to say anything along the lines of "god isn't real", "the pagan gods are fake", "there is only one true religion", "[any religious group] are stupid/dangerous/barbaric" -- NO.

It's rude. It's unnecessary. And sometimes, especially in the case of minorities or oppressed groups, it's outright hateful. Theres nothing helpful, funny, or cool about randomly insulting one of the most personal aspects of a persons life. Unless it's invited or warranted, stfu.

#like please stop randomly telling me my gods dont exist #idc #atheist #christian #pagan #paganism #pagan witch #christian witch #evangelical #heathenry #witchcraft #deities #deitywork #ancient gods #religion #religious #religious joy #pagan joy

Regulus always wanted tattoos to look like his cool older brother, who says he will get his first one at 16

Regulus also got his first one. At 16. Just like his older brother. But he no longer approves. I guess the forearm isn't a good place to have your first tattoo

The Spell to Make Your Wish Come True

“Yadas scolyah Sacul snuycale ynocaj aiahisah oniniey, pes, satitca enrab dul ynenod aye ubei eur, ahav, ailaiv, eye. Eiv ayhah oyah ayas anlas iahah, icuc ayay. Lehenele, an anev; autes.”

1) Memorize the orison.

Ancient orisons are powerful not simply because they are in Latin or in another old language. They draw their power from all the witches throughout the centuries who have used them.

Memorize this letter for letter, punctuation per punctuation. Note which words are capitalized and which are not. You are not allowed to copy it. You have to know it by heart.

2) Acquire a new journal.

The smallest you can find. Make sure its materials are natural and that its pages are not lined.

Using a pencil, write your wish on the very first page. Make it succinct but specific. Erasures and corrections are not allowed. They show weakness of intention. If you make a mistake, obtain another journal.

3) Write down the orison.

The next day, when you wake up, the first thing you must do – before peeing, drinking water, brushing your teeth or praying – is write down the orison on the second page. Again, no mistakes.

Do the same the next day, and the one after that. Always write on a new page. Do it for as many days as the number of words you used in your wish. If your wish is, “I wish to get married before my 21st birthday”, then you must do it for nine days.

4) Burn the journal.

Once you are finished, wait for a night when the moon is a waxing crescent, and burn the journal in your front yard. Not in your backyard. You want it in your future, not to leave it in the past.

Collect the ashes in a jar.

5) Cook your favorite meal.

Immediately after, cook your favorite meal. Add all the ashes in. Serve the meal on a silver platter and place it in your front yard, exactly where you burned your journal. This is your payment to whoever old one read your wish as you burned it.

If by sunrise, the platter has ants, worms or other insects in it, as well as signs of having been touched, then your payment was accepted and your wish will be granted. If not… if it looks just as you left it… it means greater powers interfered. Your wish is simply not destined.

The first time I read the Harry Potter books I was 7, and so I read them in Russian. Despite the HORRIBLY translated edition that I read (Maria Spivak), where Hagrid is Ogrid and Madam Hooch is Madam Samogoni, which directly translates to "Madam Moonshine".

But some names were unchanged, like Harry and James and Sirius etc, but what I wanna talk about is Regulus. He was still Regulus Arcturus Black.

Р.А.Б., read "R-A-B", same as in English.

The thing is, if not for the fullstops, it would be an another word that exists in Russian - раб, directly translating to "slave".

And I laughed at this when I was young, at the pun that this made. But now that I think about it, it makes sense

Regulus was sort of a slave in the Black household. In terms of ideals and beliefs that his parents imposed. He got sorted into Slytherin, he became a death eater, he obeyed his parents and in the words of Sirius was "a better son than him". Regulus also defended Kreacher from Voldemort, and Kreacher was also, essentially, a slave in the household.

So yeah, just something to think about
