Valentines Day Magick
Take time today to sit with your Rose Quartz. Admire its beauty, & admire your own beauty! Inside & out.
If you have Rose Petals, sprinkle some on your altar. To bring more loving energy into your space
Your relationship status doesn’t define you, your worth, or appearance

Wisdom from John Scotus Eriugena/Erigena (800 - 877):
Christ wears “two shoes” in the world: scripture and nature. Both are necessary to understand the Lord, and at no stage can creation be seen as a separation of things from God.
Observe the forms and beauties of sensible things and comprehend the Word of God in them. If you do so, the truth will reveal to you in all such things only He who made them.
No one enters heaven except through philosophy.
What, then, is it to treat of philosophy, unless to lay down the rules of the true religion by which we seek rationally and adore humbly God, who is the first and sovereign cause of all things? Hence it follows that the true philosophy is the true religion, and reciprocally that the true religion is the true philosophy.
When we are told that God is the maker of all things, we are simply to understand that God is in all things – that He is the substantial essence of all things.
Synthesizing as it does the philosophical accomplishments of fifteen centuries, this book appears as the final achievement of ancient philosophy.
All that is is light.

On this Thanksgiving, thank God for the greatest blessing…. his love and for freedom under God for all people.
Not what we have to say about our blessings, but how we use them is the true measure of our Thanksgiving.
May we think especially about our country and give thanks for it.
LINCOLN’S THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION (condensed version)
The year that is drawing towards its close, has been filled with the blessings of fruitful fields and healthful skies. We so constantly enjoy these bounties that we are prone to forget the source from which they come.
No human counsel hath devised nor hath any mortal hand worked out these great things. They are the gracious gifts of the Most High God, who, while dealing with us in anger for our sins, hath nevertheless remembered mercy.
It has seemed to me fit and proper that these gifts should be solemnly, reverently and gratefully acknowledged as with one heart and one voice by the whole American People.
I do therefore invite my fellow citizens in every part of the United States, and also those who are at sea and those who are sojourning in foreign lands, to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November next, as a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens.
And I recommend we fervently implore the interposition of the Almighty Hand to heal the wounds of the nation and to restore it as soon as may be consistent with the Divine purposes to the full enjoyment of peace, harmony, tranquility and Union.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

We are all Trees, rooted in cement.
Broken down and tired; of living life on a marry-go-round.
But with time, patience and Love we can grow into magnificent creatures, tall, in power, stronger than ever, rooted in who we are, what we are, our purpose and clear in our mission.
We need sun to shine.
We need water to cleanse & drink from.
We need air to breathe.
And our roots will grow, we will rise.
All we need is LOVE.
I know thyself.
I heal thyself.
I love thyself.
Therefore I am gold. I can and will continue to fill the cracks of my broken shell. Creating a magnificent piece of art once again. Stronger than ever.
And I am rising to the occasion.
I am a tree full of life.
I am a rising star.
I no longer submit to you.
I no longer submit to two.
I surrender my will to God & my Goddess self.
Lovingly Devoted to my healing, my growth, my unconditional love, because I speak my truth. I listen to the words coming out of my own mouth, I hear what others who speak to me say, I process and eliminate what is for me and what is their own words they need to hear for themselves. I know my shadows but instead I turn them into shade. I see all the signs because I open my eyes and no longer turn a blind eye. I am the work. I am progressing in my mental, soul, physical, spiritual growth. I am consciously aware. Self-Empowering. Guiding my own self. A beacon of light. Stunning, intuitive and Loved, A Gem. A beloved daughter of the earth. A Hopeful Soul. A Goddess. Emanating my divine feminine essence. A Pioneer orchestrating my path of mastery.
Seek within you and you shall find. Get to the root of the problem. Ask yourself what patterns are you repeating. Am I choosing myself or am I listening to Linda or Larry. Do they know you better than you know yourself.
Mend. Rest. Let Go. Heal.
Breathe in and push it out of your body a breathe that sounds like a wave, blowing out all the inner hate, the anger, the fear, the doubt, distractions, avoidance, sabotage, abandonment, and the darkness. Breathe in light, clarity and feel your way through the darkness. Exhale the darkness, the chaos and confusion. And release the burden of the weight of the world, you only have two hands, one body, one heart and one mind and they are beautiful and you are alive. Breathe in life! Grow beloved. Feel, Heal that inner child. Imagine who you are and see your beauty.
Love Heals. Period.

what was the last thing you did that brought you joy?

THE ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE - aka Confidence building through self modeling.
It’s an unfortunate thing to be living without confidence, but it’s also quite the scourge of our lifestyle. Littles and subs who have been used, abused and chewed up, then spit out will find themselves in a cycle of self deprication and loathing… causing them to have such little confidence that they end up becoming the “apologetic little”
Scenario: most often they apologize and tell you that they are sorry for everything from bothering right down to basically existing. You get an apology for everything, and everything to them feels wrong…
But yet, there exists hope!
Self modeling is a behavior reversal technique that can transform you or your little from a timid and broken desperate mess… into a beautiful and confident pillar of enthusiasm and optimism in no time.
But how do we do that!? How does one stop apologizing for everything when everything they do feels so wrong and like such a burden?
Rephrase that apology.
Scenario: you’re a little who goes on a long amount of verbal spillage trying to ask a simple question, but your anxiety and nervousness caused you to write a novel sized ask that seems like a giant run on sentence of incoherent thought…. and at the end you say “I’m sorry for bothering you” or something close to it.
Flip that script! Rephrase that tired old irrational apology for no reason and turn it from something you end up beating yourself up over for no reason, into something positive and empowering that will convey your concerns for being too much, while also building confidence.
How you say?
Big long rant/question thing and then…
“Thank you for being patient with me while I figured out how to say what I wanted to say”
You’ve just turned an unnecessary apology in which you feel like you did something wrong, into a statement of gratitude and humility that will ultimately make the other person respect your awareness and strength.
You said the same thing in a totally opposite way with a better result.
Late for an appointment or a date?
Turn that “I’m so sorry for being late..” into “Thank you for being patient and waiting for me”
Turn that “I’m sorry dinner was late” into “I appreciate you waiting while I figured out that recipe”
Take that “I’m sorry this project isn’t finished yet…” and make it into “I’m thankful that you are being patient while I finish this and work through a few issues”
This self modeling technique is sure to change your entire life if practiced effectively and often… and within just a week or so, you should be seeing some results in your demeanor, confidence and ability to properly convey your thoughts without being consumed by fear, doubt and shame.
So give it a try! And have your life forever changed.

Devotional Training: Gratitude.
Post link
I wrote a post on this subject awhile ago (https://super-trafalgar.tumblr.com/post/133041002388/gratitude), however it may have given the impression that I was only interested in seeing gratitude from a sub / slave for being physically hurt.
Not so: I like to see a display of gratitude from a sub for being humiliated by me as well. They should inform me what they felt as a result of my words, deeds, or tasks I set them - humiliated? ashamed? guilty? mortified? They should tell me what things in particular had the greatest emotional impact on them. They should tell me how wet it made them, and how/whether/when/where they played with their wet cunts as a result of my humiliation.
They should tell me if they had further fantasies and desires of humiliation while they masturbated. Were they getting off to the idea of me (or someone else) fucking them roughly, or holding their hair and slapping their face, or, or, or…?
They should, of course, thank me profusely for all of this. They can flatter me: point out how great, (clever, creative etc, etc) I am, and how needy, (pathetic, stupid, fat, worthless etc, etc,) they are, and how I fulfilled all their needs. This is, of course, a great opportunity for you to humiliate yourself in front of me. And everyone else - make your gratitude public.
Go on, subs, show me what you can do. Ingratiate yourselves.
I do this. I get into the habit of falling over myself to thank him for every little thing. “Thank you for letting me worship your cock and balls while you look at porn.” “Thank you for bruising my tits and ass with the crop.” “Thank you for allowing me to edge and deny myself.”
No escaping the fact that you’re a painslut when you’re constantly thanking him. The indignity of having to praise him for all of the torture he’s putting you through is like rubbing salt in the wound. But at some point, the incessant “thank yous” transform into something else. It’s not just a thing you do to please your dominant, nor is it simply an act of self-humiliation meant to make your cunt wetter. It becomes an acknowledgment of truth–an affirmation of your rightful place.
“Thank you for letting me ruin my orgasm, because I deserve to be sexually frustrated.” “Thank you for letting me touch myself at all, because I know I don’t deserve any pleasure.” “Thank you for everything you give me, because I deserve nothing, and you deserve it all.”
Devotional Training: Gratitude affirmations.
jessica Morales had to admit that it hurt when her new Master took her for the first time. she would have even been tempted to call it a rape, if she hadn’t already seen what happened to girls who spoke of such things without being directly ordered to do so by a Man. they were always upbraided and beaten, if not whisked away for a time in a re-education center. jessica had managed to avoid such a circumstance, so when her new Master mounted her for the first time she tried not to scream too loudly, and bit back all thoughts of it being a rape.
Even greater than the pain was the humiliation, however. Having her new Master thrust away inside her made jessica feel almost as ashamed as she had when she was up on the impromptu auction block. she had been only one of several girls rounded up by a group of aspiring Businessmen; they had all been sent to auction after being cleared by an MEA representative, and they had all been quickly sold. Being up on the block, stripped, bound, and eyes down, was profoundly humiliating, and jessica felt a perverse sense of gratitude for being bought so quickly.
jessica hadn’t been allowed to look at the Man who purchased her, her new Master, until He lowered Himself atop her in His bed. she couldn’t help but cry out when He entered her, and the pain filled her mind briefly until the humiliation came flooding back once again. jessica’s new Master covered her mouth to silence her, and she felt the shame give way to more gratitude for how He once again rectified a situation beyond her control.
jessica’s new Master took His time putting her to use, making sure that He got every penny’s worth of pleasure out of that first experience. In time, though the shame remained, jessica found her back arching as her screams of pain turned into cries of passionate orgasm. Once again, she felt gratitude towards the Man atop her, for silencing her, for allowing her that flare of completion, for everything.
Later, jessica would reflect on how that was the first moment she truly realized that pain, shame, and gratitude would become the guiding forces of her internal life. There was nothing else for her outside of His total control, and all she had to do was think about His hand claiming her, guiding her, opening her, silencing her, to remind herself of that fact.
Devotional Training: Pain, Shame and always Gratitude.
