sometimes you just need to DAB DA grief away

Level 1: Prophecy proclaims that no man can kill villain; killed by woman.
Level 2: Prophecy proclaims that no weapon can harm villain; pushed down stairs and dies.
Level 3: Prophecy proclaims that villain will be brought low by no mortal hand; kicked to death by angry mob.
Level 4: Prophecy proclaims that no power on Earth shall be villain’s undoing; fatally distracted by sun in eyes.
Level 5: Prophecy proclaims that only power of laughter can defeat villain; beat up by clown.
Level **: Prophecy claims that villain cannot be killed by man nor beast, at day or night, or inside or outside. He is killed in a doorway at sunset by a half-man, half-lion
(this is actual Hindu myth)Level ???: Prophecy claims that hero cannot be killed during the day or night, nor indoors or outdoors, neither riding nor walking, not clothed and not naked, nor by any weapon lawfully made. He is killed at dusk, wrapped in a net with one foot on a cauldron and one on a goat and with a spear forged for a year during the hours when everyone is at mass.
(actual Welsh myth!)
what i’m getting from this is that rules-lawyering is an ancient and honorable tradition

me: don’t play dragon age. it takes forever. you get too attached. the characters do things and you tear out your hair and you make 10 wardens and 5 hawkes and about 20 inquisitors and you stop leaving the house and you’re obsessed, you dream about it, you think “fine dwarven crafts direct from orzammar” is the funniest sentence in the english language, nothing will compare, it will ruin you
me five seconds later: you should play dragon age

Reasons I believe my friend is secretly some kind of deity
1) First time we spoke was a week after the beggining of freshman year she summed up my entire character and most of the events of my life Sherlock style. I asked her how the hell she knew all that. She just shrugged and said she figured out our entire class already.
2) The one time we had religion class instead of ethics she listened to the teacher for a few minutes, laughed and told me:
“Humans have wished to be gods so much they’ve forgotten they have to ability to create them. Imagination has truly suffered from this ‘monotheism’ stuff.”
I was confused and asked her if she was an atheist. She rolled her eyes and said:
“Oh I believe in god alright. I just don’t think the bastard deserves to be worshipped.”
3) Out of nowhere she gave me this advice:
“The only truth a liar ever told was that lies weren’t going to save you. Don’t become the liar who has to pass that wisdom on, because they speak from experience.”
4) To this day, she has one of those old-timey phones with buttons she only uses to ocassionally call someone. When I asked her why she never got a smartphone she got pouty:
“I hate social media. On Facebook they talk a lot but never say anything. If I wanted to listen to people moan about their problems and ask for help they don’t expect I’d listen to their prayers.” (Notice the choice of words)
5) I noticed she was stiff and I offered her a massage since I’m really good at it but when i started kneading her back I swear to this day those were not muscles I felt. I asked her what she did to turn her muscles into rocks covered with a thin layer of skin and she kinda froze then shrugged and said she was just really, really stiff. My hands hurt after ten minutes when I can usually go for an hour. Next time I offered she seemed surprised and laughed. She still has rocks for muscles.
6) We were having a debate over the way neural pathways are formed (I study biology and she forensics) and I jokingly asked if I could have her brain for study when she dies. She laughed.
“Sure, if you find a way to kill me you can have it. I’m actually curious what you’re gonna find.”
7) One time she was tired and miserable and I tried to comfort her. We both have really dark sense of humor so I told her she could scare the dead out of their graves with that glare. She told me the dead can’t come back and I rolled my eyes and said ‘obviously’ but she continued:
“When you die you descend to the underworld with nothing to lose. To keep you, they give you something to lose. When you want to return, they will demand it back. That’s why nobody ever leaves. The only way out is to never enter.”
8) One day she just came up to me with a disappointed look on her face. When I asked her what was wrong she was quiet for a few seconds and then just told me:
“Betrayals committed in good intentions are still damning. Just… keep that in mind.” Then she left and didn’t speak to me for three days. I still don’t know what she meant but even three years later I haven’t forgotten it.
9) We were casually sitting on a bench when, out of nowhere, she asked me: “Is it just me or have humans gotten dumber? Or have they always been this stupid and I just haven’t been paying attention?”
10) She asked me if I ever wondered what it was like to die. I said no but told her I would tell her when I found out. I meant it as a ghost joke but she smiled at me and said:
“Great. I’ll wait for you to come back. Maybe you’ll even remember me.”
In conclusion, she is some kind of low-key god and she lost her faith in humanity even before we lost our faith in her but she’s stuck with us because immortality is a bitch.
P.S. I just remembered her name is a variation on ‘Eve’. Maybe I should reconsider my atheist status?!
She totally sounds like a goddess from one of Rick Riordan’s novels honestly. I kinda love her. If you have more stories, update us, cause I love this stuff.

I was googling some books and info for herbalism in ancient Finnish culture and folklore use so I stumbled upon this useful text!
It’s from Yrttitarha, who have combined medicinal knowledge from today and from the past, specifically from Finnish perspective.
From what I skimmed it (it’s really long!), it’s very useful. It has some overall knowledge from using the herbs and then it has looong list of herbs and other useful plants.
Very useful page for all other Finnish witches who are sick of America centrism in tumblr and want to use national plants in their witchcraft! :P <3
There’s also a book that was published last year Suomen luonnon lääkekasvit by Sinikka Piippo. It has info about 50 most common medically used plants that grow in Finland, what they’re for and their uses. Sinikka Piippo has also other good books about plants and their uses. And they are especially from a Finnish point of view (although I think she had one book about herbs and their uses with non-native herbs and spices)
Just adding this for anyone who might want additional reading on the subject and haven’t heard of these books before.

Officials at Nintendo have confirmed that the exact layout of the Nintendo Switch controls has caused minor muscle spasms in some players. The “Switch Twitch” is not a serious issue and goes away once a player stops holding the controls.
More serious is an itch caused by handling the cartridges. Due to the inclusion of a bitter coating made to discourage children from swallowing the small cartridges, extended contact with them may cause an Itch.
But the Switch Itch and the Switch Twitch aren’t the only problem. There is also an audio glitch. The glitch only affects players with sensitivity to high frequencies who can hear sounds with a very high pitch. The High Pitch Switch Glitch situation has some players already wanting to ditch the console. But others are okay with the flaws, and are angry at players who complained. According to Nintendo loyalist Mitch Hitchovich, “Anyone who bitches about the Switch Itch, Switch Twitch or Switch Pitch Glitch is a snitch.”
To which afflicted players responded, “Oh, that’s rich.”
