CRYSTAL READING: What should you cultivate more in yourself ?
A little explanation of the method I used for reading
Lithomancy : I assigned a meaning for each stone (each stone represents a planet) and cast them on a circle divided into 12 parts, just like an astrology chart and do the reading
Pick a stone :
Reading for each group below :
1. Red jasper
I see a pyramid with strong foundation.
You would need to build a shelter in yourself to stay calm amidst a hectic life.
Life may give you lots of hardship, but if you know how to stay rooted in yourself, you can weather any storms coming your way.
To do that, you need to find your authentic ideals, your own aspirations in life, without outside's interference. Like a personal compass. No matter what you do, where you go, that compass can guide you to the right direction.
But to be able to make that compass, you would need to open up to your own self.
I see that some parts of your are hidden in your own eyes. You need to see all of yourself, both light and dark, both strength and weakness, both selfish desires and selfless devotion. A dichotomy within yourself. It is the opposition that keeps you balanced.
2.Citrine
A leaf or a boat, tenderly floating in the stream. If you could let your heart lead your life and follow the natural flow, you will see that life would be so much easier.
You will be able to see that life works in a very cyclical way. Allow yourself to unfold naturally with time. There is no need to rush.
Strangely enough, by doing that, you would appear to the world as a person holding so much inner power.
I could see that with time, you will become so much more at ease with yourself, and that will create a natural confidence.
Going with the flow of life does not mean doing nothing. It means seeing your dream and having the bravery to take concrete but harmonious steps to come closer to that dream. You would need to cultivate a lion's heart, bravely facing your hidden fears, guilts, and confusions hiding in the dark.
3.Pyrite
There is a focus on relationships.
You have an idealistic approach to romance with lots of fantasies and confusion.
That tends to attract the type of people who are aggressive, domineering, and have a big ego. This kind of relationship would bring lots of stress and disappointment to you.
I notice that my tone for this group is more curt and to the point. Maybe that's how some people feel when they are in your energy. Your energy would bring out some shadows in people.
Sometimes, people would actually have some dark impulses toward goodness. Light would bring out shadow. I'm saying this because I see that opposite of the heavy energy people that you attract, you have a gentle and light energy.
What you should cultivate is a sense of boundary and authority for yourself.
Keep the light, but be more detached and see clearly of what you want, how you want to be treated, and how you can feel nourished in a relationship. Maybe not too focused on 1 on 1 relationship, but be more open to being a part of a community. I see that you are meant to be a soul of freedom, not chained by other's egos.
4.Rose quartz
The energy of a mentor, a teacher.
There is something so strong yet very warm and loving about your energy.
You don't need to be actually in the teaching profession to teach. The way you express yourself, the way you live your life, the way you honour your emotions, and let your inner child shine can inspire many people. People want to learn from you.
I think that you don't need to cultivate something particular, but more like noticing things about yourself to be more aware and navigate them more easily. The strongest thing is the voice. The voice of authority. Be the voice of truth that speaks deep into people's hearts. Even sometimes, that would make people uncomfortable.
I see a playful child with a sharp tongue that speaks some acute observations about the world, but nobody feels offended. That is the special power of children. You could still retain some of that power within you.
5.Obsidian
I immediately see the number four and the Jupiter's glyph (♃, when I actually searched the glyph again, it was a little different from the crystal's image, but I couldn't shake the association) Another thing about Jupiter is that the stone for Jupiter landed on the highest position of the chart, stands between two black obsidian stones (one was the one I chose to represent place of focus, one was this group that you chose). So the theme of Jupiter would be where you should put more focus on cultivating. Travelling, religion, and foreign cultures will bring in lots of transformation for you.
Also, if you are more open about your wish and desires, you would manifest them much easier, broadcast to the universe, and let the universe listen to you. If you feel restricted and not comfortable showing your individuality, this is the message for you to show your light to the world more. Many would appreciate that.
6.Flourite
There is a sense of urgency in this group. The universe is sending you a very urgent message.
It is time to build your lasting legacy. There is something you're meant to create for the mass. It could be something to do with words, something verbal, creative writing, or things created by hands. Things that stir the imagination and deep emotions of the audience. Making this work will bring you sudden fortunes and blessings.
Tap into your dreams. You could get lots of inspiration or source materials from the dreams you have while sleeping or even daydreams. Don't ignore the images. When you put your attention to them, the messages will be clearer to you. Translate them into your works with dedication and steadiness and bring them to life.

hey sorry if this is silly but do you have any advice on planting flowers to help the environment? like...resources on which are good for what area and stuff?
I mostly use a combination of google and some books I got at the used book store and the plant identification app PictureThis and my own knowledge from gathering / cultivating over the last few years
plant identifying apps are super useful when you’re first starting and don’t know anything about plants
It can help you learn what’s around you, some can tell you what’s native and worth protecting, what’s invasive and sucks ass and is worth destroying (for me I kill lots of Teasel along the freeway, and Garlic Mustard in the woods) but make sure to take several pictures, to really look at the plant, and know for sure what it is before you tear it up or eat it
For Growing, you can use a combination of planting methods but my favorite and I think the most effective for large areas is directly sowing seeds into the soil in the early spring. You must disturb the soil and make sure your seeds are firmly planted, and keep in mind when it will rain. Younger plants prefer wetter soils for longer.
Also: Keep in mind what temperatures your seedlings can survive of whatever species you are choosing to plant. You can usually find this info on Wikipedia. Sunflowers for example can survive extremely cold temperatures, whereas plants like Marigolds need spring frost to be 100% gone before you want to plant it outside.

the funny thing about the MDZS fandom is that one can write about wwx do all sorts of ridiculous things (from creating a magical dildo to convincing people that he is actually the reincarnation of a god) and fans will just say: yeah, he would do that

I for a while now have been thinking about a scum villain fanfiction idea again.
SY would be Isakied instead of transmigration, and still having a limit to how long his life is because of pre-existing illness. He is a very short time to make an impact in his web novel may it be the one he hated the most.
He quickly learns that modern music makes fast money and begins to perform the village gaining traction before he decides what he wants to do to make his impact. And one day, it comes to him after spending years of his life reading that hellish web novel he would now help half demons in and out of the human realm.
In the way he does this is by creating a travelling orchestra. All his staff from the outside would just be ordinary staff, but from the inside demons and half demon alike, escaping. 
Then, after some time, the cultivation sects Would catch wind of an organization going around in funneling, half demons into the demon realm through the borders and would try to shut it down to spite it not harming anyone because they’re just absurd like that.
And a team of disciples are sent to do recon and get to witness a wonderful, breathtaking play(heavy in your arms by Lawrence + the machines) before it gets interrupted by another cultivation sect, and the play vanishes in the blink of an eye like no one had ever been there.

Karma
I sometimes come across people who say they “don’t believe in karma.” I believe this stems from a misunderstanding of karma as a purely supernatural force.
Karma is not something you believe in: it is cause and effect, as real and insentient as the force of gravity. Karma is a shorthand for everything a being can experience and the causes that lead to these experiences.
You touch the fire and it burns you. That’s karma. Your karma is that you are a being of flesh and your body cannot tolerate certain elements.
Your family has a history of cancer, and you develop cancer. That’s karma. Your karma is that you carry the genetic inclination for certain diseases.
You encounter a challenge and overcome it against all odds. That’s karma. Your karma is that you had the skills and resources to achieve the outcome you desired.
When we observe certain phenomena in the world, we understand that this was possible because there was the necessary karma for it to occur - the necessary causes were present. Sometimes we label this as ‘bad’ karma or ‘good’ karma, purely because of how we perceive that experience. There will have been innumerable factors involved in that experience coming to pass. Hence, karma can be understood in a purely mundane context.
Since we spiritual practitioners tend to get involved with magic, gods, spirits and other realms, then naturally we observe that there are additional ways in which karma can work. Sometimes on a scale that is difficult to comprehend and spans lifetimes.
When we understand karma, that is, cause and effect, we come to understand some of the myriad of influences upon our experience. Sometimes we understand enough that we can change the karma that we have.
In my opinion, karma makes the most sense in the context of rebirth and spiritual inheritance: the idea that there is some continuity after death and the karma of one life can be inherited by another.
The way that I personally understand karma is that it is like an attunement, or a momentum. Every action, every thought, is like a movement that creates a gust of wind that pushes us toward a certain outcome. Repeated actions of a certain nature solidify this momentum, like gathering winds that create a storm, or trails of water that carve a riverbed into the earth.
Across lifetimes, this becomes especially powerful. We may find ourselves repeatedly experiencing certain themes in our lives. The same kinds of fortune and misfortune that come back in different forms, created by the momentum of our inherited karma. It takes persistent effort to escape what has been ingrained into our experience and go beyond what our past has shaped us to be.
Karma must also be understood in the context of interdependence. We do not exist in isolation, our own karma will impact the karma of others, and vice versa. Everything in the world has its own karma, a way it can influence other things: how we navigate these influences determines our fate.
Don’t be daunted by the enormity of it all. A ship that sails across the sea will not encounter every wave on the ocean, only the ones in its path. We have the choice to ride upon those waves, or we can learn to read the winds and waters and try to change our course.
#cultivation#buddhism#dharma#karma#i made a similar post in a server which people found useful#once i started getting to grips with karma as a concept#it helped me become more patient#realising “i don't have the karma to do this right now”#or “what actions can i take now to create this karma for the future”#it also helps me realise that everything is constantly evolving#for those moments i feel stagnant or stuck

LMGTS: Xianxia leads to another
Quest master: Here's a quest set in a cultivation/xianxia universe, blatantly inspired by Will Wright's Cradle Series.
Me: Oh, that's nice.
QM: Everyone talks in funny ways, because this quest is set in another world entirely, one based heavily on Chinese media.
Me: Mmm-hm.
QM: Also, here's one of my main characters talking about "punching down" in the negative.
Me:
This particular forum happens to be very, very progressive. And the character in question came from an under-privileged background, and is quoting his former master, a storyteller.
And that master said a certain story wasn't good because it's just about a trickster hurting people who can't hurt him back, even though the story is popular.
Sure, the character is mocking and quoting his ex-master, but that phrasing still shouldn't be there.

I spent the eclipse ripping up garlic mustard at the local trail and filling the holes left behind with native flower seeds I collected last winter as a way to honor the land I live on (and so every time I walk by the flowers I can remember the cool eclipse)

20 - dragon
I just want to draw her more…
------------------
image description:
digital painting of Cultivation and her vessel Koravellium Avanast as a large woman with dark skin and wide hips. there are faint tattoo-like scaled bands snaking around her legs and arms. The funnel bodice of her tress in reminiscent of a tree trunk. Her hair blends into the darkness surrounding her head, sprinkled with the tiny, green, glowing dots of life spren dancing around her, mimicking the green glow of her eyes.
One particularly large one just above her head becoming the eye of a dragon, the outlines of its head barely visible, more lines further up hinting at its big wings spread out at the top.
The lowlight setting, light seeping from the lower right gives the scenery an eery, mysterious quality of deep purples and greens small iridescent moments giving the appearance that She is glowing despite shrouded in shadows.
The second image is a greyscale version of the image with a purple tinge as the lighter mid-tone.
