Pagan Holidays – Wiccan, Hellenic, Roman, & Kemetic

Paganism has A LOT of holidays! I will be going over the holidays (Holy Days) – specifically for Paganism and Wiccan, Hellenic (Greek,) Roman, and Kemetic (Egyptian). I will not be listing every single one because that might be impossible, considering how many holidays there are. There are also so many more branches of Paganism,…

Song Analysis | “Ultraviolence” by Lana Del Rey

This is one of Lana Del Rey’s most controversial and critiqued songs, but mainly because it is often misunderstood. This is a song about being in an abusive relationship. It’s not trying to glamorize it all – which is what some people claim. Really, this is getting inside the head of the victim. In abusive…

Song Analysis: “Lego House” by Ed Sheeran

Lego House by Ed Sheeran is one of my favorite songs and may be one of his best. It’s a fairly simple song, but there’s definitely a few lines that bring deeper meaning, especially the title itself. I think that’s what initially caught my attention when I decided to listen to it for the first…

I feel deceived by Taylor Swift — a career built on money & lies

I hesitate to post this because I don’t like putting too much negativity on my blog. But this is something that’s been bothering me for a while. Ive already made several blog posts about Taylor Swift, both about her music and her personal life, so I feel like I need to say something. If you…

Dreams – where spirits meet one another

Dreams are one of the most mysterious parts of life. Despite all of the scientific research, there are still so many unknowns. What they have proven for sure is that everybody dreams, every night, for multiple times – but often struggle to recall them. Upon waking up, you have already forgotten 90-99% of your dreams.…

What Extreme Thinness Reveals About the Psyche

The problem with extreme thinness goes deeper than the surface. I’m not talking about people who are naturally very skinny, or people who lose weight due to illness, medication side effects, something out of their control etc. I’m only talking about people who consciously seek it. People argue that it’s a vanity thing, or pressure…

Negativity Destroys You More Than You Know

The power of negativity is severely underestimated. I mean the term “power” in a negative way – not that it gives you power, but that it takes power away from you. Negativity is controlling you When negativity takes hold on the subconscious mind, you lose control over your steering wheel. Nobody wants negative outcomes -…

Now that we are nearing towards the end of 2025, it’s time to finally admit it… the early 2020’s are over. And just like the beginning of a decade can feel so culturally different from the end of a decade, this era in time has been sealed. We’ve become distant enough from the 2010s, that…
