become the old forest god with light in its seven pupilless eyes and shadows of long-gone animals playing around its flower-crowned coat that you always wished to be abducted by as a child

Stir three times clockwise to make it so
And three times anticlockwise to undo it
Says one old woman, her gnarled hands wrapped
Tight around china so thin the color of the tea
Can be seen through its curve, red in an eggshell
Grandma snorts, stirring her cream into
Tea the color of the storm clouds outside
I sip my hot milk and honey and listen
As they argue magick and tea, what is and is not so
Grandma says you do not read the leaves
You read the person, and the leaves will match
And her friend, the shadow of a red hat over her eyes
Says of course you read the leaves
The leaves and the lines and the cards and the candle flame
And then they chuckle
And share the last scone

sometimes i just lose my fucking mind and afterwards i’m like “what the fuck is wrong with me…why am i Like This™” and the answer is always the moon

me: *goes absolutely feral for a few days*

me: why the hell did i do that *checks the lunar calendar and sees the moon’s up to some freaky shit again* ah

literally i LOVE the moon but like is she almost done…like is it over…being unhinged 24/7 like this is so. Exhausting

A lot of deep sea creatures are coloured red, but since the colour blends in so well with dark water it just ends up looking black or dark blue. 

In short, combined with the horn-like crown, submerged home, and pitchfork/trident, Poseidon is just another name for the Devil.

Humans misinterpret Hell as an underground cavern of fire, when in reality, it’s a boiling sea floor stoked by hydrothermal vents and exposed magma.

Dante describes the Ninth circle of hell as being where traitors are crushed in a dark frozen lake, which sounds like deep sea trenches or brine pools

Notice how the only thing demons and mermaids have in common is dragging human souls down?

There’s a reason why sailors used to call mermaids “Sea Demons”.

deep sea fish are scary they demons
