Magical motto

I'm not the most experienced, I work solo, and I admit I have been lazy with doing daily work (which for me has been - LBRP, LRH, MP, LIRP, some pathworking, some talisman making,sometimes SIRP, sometimes Rose Cross). You know, you do your daily rituals for months, and it falls into a routine.But, you neglected all your bad habits, bad behaviour, bad thinking, you just set it aside, it's not important, you have better things to do. You neglect your rituals for month or two because of obligations...and you realize you got thrown into abyss. Again. Dark night of the soul all over again. You can't breathe, you can't remember what you're here for...It lasts for a while. But in the abyss, you remember to do the rituals all over again, even though it makes no sense at the moment. For a while it seems hopeless. But than you seem to get little insights. And the motto thing. I've been thinking about it for 9 months. I thought it's something I should intelecualise, I would "feel it". No. It came, after the abyss. After I got burned by my own shit. Not burned, just confronted with it, so badly you can't ignore it. And some time after that I just calmly had a thought of motto, of what I long for. And after realised it, all things in life just abruptly changed. It was unbelievable. That a couple of words can make such difference. Not words, but intention. And that what magic is all about. Sorry for the long post, it's just I'm amazed how such small things are of such importance, how when I realized (or got) my motto, it changed everything, literally, it tear apart everathing for the better. What was your experience with that, if anyone wants to share?

What are these Magical Mottos? (of the Shoemaker A.'.A.'.)

Was wondering if anyone is able to help me decipher the magical mottos that is in the publication page of Shoemaker's "Living Thelema."

I. 7=4

V.V 6=5

I. Praem.

R.O. Imp.

L.L.L Canc.

All my Googling has been for naught, as it just gives initials. Does anyone know what these magical mottos are? I'm assuming the mottos themselves aren't private information, but perhaps the names are... so I'm not asking for the names, unless they are also not secret... Not asking for anyone's personal name to be revealed against their will, of course!

Also, and I'm assuming this will be easier, does anyone know Shoemaker's motto? I'm trying to find his writings in the Black Pearl, because I know he published a few there, but all the articles use the magical mottos. So what does that "I" stand for?

Also, because the Praemonstrator is always honorarily 7=4, perhaps the two "I"s on the above list are both Shoemaker?

Question about magical mottos

Hi all, I had a question pertaining to magical mottos. Prefacing this with the fact that I'm not sure this is a Thelema-specific question, but I know my fiancΓ© practices it and it's a good place to start.

Backstory: My fiancΓ©'s motto is 'Ex Profundis De Abyssus Ad Sublimitas De Olympus' which he translates to "from the depths of hell to the heights of heaven," but that isn't the correct Latin translation. We want to get the last part (to the heights of heaven) engraved on our wedding bands, and I was going to surprise him with getting the motto as a tattoo before our wedding day.

So my question is this: should I get his translation (Ex Profundis De Abyssus Ad Sublimitas De Olympus) or the correct Latin translation, which is "Ab profundis infernalibus usque ad columina caelestia?" I'm simply not sure if his magical motto loses some of its meaning if it's changed, even if the translation is incorrect.

The Apprentice Week 1 - Cruise Ship

Good evening and welcome back to the threads for the Angertainment television programme The Apprentice!

You remember this, right? Some old moron who used to run relevant business doles out terrible advice that belongs back in the 90s as he makes people flog sausages that they have just woken up at 3.30am to make outside Waterloo station.

The last series to be on had such colourful characters as: Lottie "The Moronic Librarian" Lion, Tommy Pillows, Ryan Who Was Camp and some people who were also there. This series is full of idiots too. The table at the bottom with their current/previous professions will be in each thread, but today let's have a bit of an extended intro to each fame hungry dickhead.

Aaron Willis - Former RAF flight operator who has worked as a milkman, horseman and a butcher. What is a horseman? Hopefully we find out.

Akeem Bundu-Kamara - A strategy manager for a financial firm who seems to be as boring in the previews as his job would indicate. He is also the founder of sustainable sportswear brand Lockr Space.

Akshay Thakrar - Speaks seven languages, but because he believes "sleep is a waste of time" he probably needs to learn what "fuck off mate" is in each of them.

Alex Short - "I would compare myself to a Ferrari – shiny on the outside but under the bonnet there is a lot of fire, and I’m coming for you." If your Ferrari is on fire, Alex, it's fucked.

Amy Anzel - Direct quote: β€œI can be nice when I need to be, but when I unfortunately have to be a bitch, I will.” Yep.

Brittany Carter - All I'm saying is that she says her "motto for life is always look on the bright side, and be grateful for everything." Yeah.

Connor Gilsenan - Former professional rugby player Connor describes himself as a "corporate panther." No further comment.

Francesca Kennedy Wallbank - Has come out with some classic Apprentice bullshit already. She said: β€œThere are two types of people in the world: people that say they are going to do things and people that actually do them. And I’m a doer.” She also said β€œI’ve never lost anything, I always win" so I'm looking forward to the end of this episode.

Harry Mahmood - Harry Mahmood refers to himself in third person, believes he is the Asian Alan Sugar and is one of the "bad boys of the bath bomb world."

Harpreet Kaur - Describes herself as fearless and funny, but then goes on to say that she's not here to make friends. Seems a bit of an oxymoron that, but who am I to ju

My husband is currently on a vacation with his mistress & I'm confronting them.. PART 2

Final Fight with Insight

Before the move, my STBX and I had one last argument. But in this argument a big piece of information was leaked on his behalf. He demanded to know why we failed as partners. I'm not sure why he is asking me why we failed if he is the one that cheated.. I gave him the same reasoning I gave him months ago when we talked about this. He said that answer was bullshit. How can my opinion or insight be bullshit? Let me explain. My STBX and I were great; before kids and responsibilities. But when other people (our children) and responsibilities (work, bills, house upkeep) came into play things changed. Honestly, he didn't like that our honeymoon phase was over. That's what he loves the most and why his shiny new relationship is so appealing. He didn't like that our money for nights out now went to plumbers, school clothes and the gas bill. Was this another case of being a narcissist and needing all the attention? Perhaps so. Could I have done better to make him a priority? Probably, but then something else of importance would have been neglected. Perhaps if he would have helped me carry the load and took more responsibility there would be more time for us. I was the parent that went to every school function, I took the kids food shopping with me on a Saturday so he could have some relax time, I made all the meals, I did the doctor appointments, I called the repair men, I bought the clothing, I cut coupons, I tended to sick children, I gave baths, I made plans to visit his family, etc. Long story short; the list of responsibilities he had was minimal or close to nonexistent. I just always thought we would (more like I would) sacrifice and work now only to relax and enjoy later. Maybe that was my mistake. But I showed my love for him daily and always did for him. I did more so he could do less and enjoy his free time and be happy and relaxed. Because when he was stressed, the whole house was tense. But thats a story for another day...

Ancient Religions trying to contact "aliens", Theory on what kept Tom Delonge up, Book of Enoch

Theres been numerous religions in the past that have tried to get people to contact these "aliens" and that they have been masquerading as different things in the past

small excerpt (read full wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aetherius_Society)

King claimed to have been contacted by many aliens, including Venusians, Martians, Devas, and the Great White Brotherhood to spread a message to aid humanity. This message exalted the promising future humanity has should Earthlings turn to better ways of living, while warning of the possible consequences otherwise.[72] King taught that humans had the choice of self-destruction or the enjoyment of a New Age that was coming to Earth. And that the Cosmic Masters had intervened via the Aetherius Society to help humanity into the New Age.[10][24][31]

As Zeller notes in his chapter "Apocalyptic Thought in UFO Religions," King believed there would not be a catastrophic end to the world, but that the planet is on the verge of a new millennium of peace and enlightenment and the Age of Aquarius. This will also require human effort.[30][72][73] The Aetherius Society's teachings share the individualism of not only other New Age teachings of the era, but of the Protestantism King grew up in, i.e. individual humans face the decision of whether to join the millennial kingdom.[31][72][73]

The society also predicts the coming of 'the next Master' from space at an indefin

Howdy! I joined reddit today purely for this community, here's what I'm working on

I've been working on a new fantasy world off and on since last summer, and have written around 30,000 words. I was looking around for a mapping tool, and found FMG! It definitely has a steep learning curve, and I'm hoping to learn a lot from this community - I've been lurking for a few days, and I'm extremely impressed with some of the things you've managed to create.

Today, I wish to share just a little of my worldbuilding. There... May be a few placeholder names on my map.

https://preview.redd.it/srvj9th1foa81.png?width=1376&format=png&auto=webp&s=cb8690f42064c2ea9d1b7670cffe105bed77d5fb

I've started fleshing out the geography of my world, starting with a randomly generated map. First and foremost, I'm working on the Ornan Communities; a nation chiefly populated by Orcs. I started with the notion that a non-human sapient species should be notably alien, not nearly so human-like in their thinking as most such species are portrayed in popular fiction. My Orcs are not inherently violent, and are by nature highly collectivist. Rather than names as we think of them, individuals are largely described by their social roles and sometimes appearance or other traits, and as children, usually by appearance or behavior. E.g., The Baker of Main Street, The Mayor of Gant, The Young One With Spots, The Young One Who Will not Shut the Fuck Up. They are a deeply practical, egalitarian people - and in our universe, the only magic users whose abilities rival that of the Elves.

In creating the Orcish people, a complex backstory has developed, and along with it, the nucleus of a language. The language spoken by modern Orcs is an offshoot of an ancient Elvish tongue, derived from a pidgin taught both to enslaved Orcs and to humans fighting together under Elvish direction in ages past. Example: Ehŝ Enbor Enŝehŝalt Bor Tahain Ŝuhlaramŝuhl Mahranlaht jaht ehr tΚ‰r ŝuhlaŝ – β€œWe will go to the small commerce city upon the ocean for gifts” - literally, β€œGo to the small settlement [which is a] satellite [of] [The] City [of] Light [which is of] commerce [which is] upon the ocean we will for gifts.”

My Elves are in essence a thought experiment - what would happen if xenophobic fascists won. Around 4,000 years before the era in which my primary stories are set, a faction representing a single ethnocultural group rose to power

Failed so hard in OSCP vol.2

An update for: Failed so hard in OSCP

After my failure, I took some days off. Then, I subscribed to TryHackMe and completed the Complete beginner and Offensive Pentesting path. After that, I watched the two famous courses from 0xTib3rius for Linux and Windows privilege escalation. At 26 September I subscribed to PGP. I kept the advice from Poppenboom in my previous post and I wanted to achieve this kind of level. At least to go as far as I can. 6-8 machines per day. ( best day was 3 machines )

At 20 November, I decided to quit my highly-paid job in order to give my 100% . Until 26 December, I was playing with PGP, re-read the PwK material to improve my weaknesses and watch Ippsec's videos. From, 26 December to yesterday, I decided to stay away from pentest and I spent my time with CTFs . Pure fun!

Yestarday it was my second attempt. I had solved in total 70+ machines.

Today I failed with 35 points. Less than the previous time ( 52.5 points ). The machines were insanely hard. This post is to express my disappointment towards Offensive Security. I think offsec took the 'Try harder' motto in a whole new level. They just throw hard machines and expect from us to do the black magic that Ippsec do. It's an ENTRY LEVEL certification. The number of students that complain about the difficulty of the exam is rising. I didn't expect to ever write this kind of post but I've worked a lot for this and I am very dedicated. I feel like that I've been scammed.

I will try to solve every hard box in HTB and then I will attempt again. To all beginner students out there. Don't bother to give it even if you have paid for the 90 days packet. PwK is a joke and has nothing to do with the actual exam. Prepare yourself with HTB and PGP and then give it a shot.

Personally, I believe that if they keep this difficulty with the new AD stuff they're going to crash. Nobody from intermediate level and down will even try. On the other hand many organizations provide certifications and they seem to understand what 'beginner' really means.

Sorry for the long post. Keep trying harder and shooting for the stars.

[Effort] Boycotting alone won't stop a company, but threatening it's reputation can destroy it.

The addition of level 14 immediately after spending all of our gold during Slash Royale is an outright insult to the entire player base, and the radio silence on social media was the nail in the coffin. The behavior of Clash Royale’s MANAGEMENT (not the developers who just follow their directions) since the initial Clan Wars II update has not only been anti-consumer and uncooperative through their additions of various paywalls, but also outright malicious. I won’t go into the details since that has already been covered numerous times by other posts currently flooding the new posts section. However, the fact of the matter still remains, the game is once again taking a turn for the worse.

The most common call of action across social media, most commonly on Reddit, is to boycott SuperCell and its products. While this may have worked against certain companies in the past, SuperCell is a unique case. This is a company that has managed to keep Clash of Clans relevant for over a decade, introduced successful titles such as Brawl Stars, and established methods of gaining consistent income. These factors alone grant SuperCell an average revenue that effortlessly reaches into the billions. Even if the ENTIRE SUBREDDIT refused to buy pass royale and reduce purchases on shop offers, the company would only lose several millions, ultimately not even putting a dent in profits.

If boycotting is futile, how can we stop SuperCell from destroying their game even further? The answer is something that is actually quite easier than boycotting. Here is some food for thought. Ever wonder why massive companies such as Coca Cola, Nike, Blizzard Entertainment, MiHoYo, Amazon, SpaceX do everything in their power to preserve their image and reputation? Have you noticed the extent that these companies will go to in order to support political issues, events such as pride month, and other topics? The reputation of a company is, in some ways, even more important than profits. SuperCell is no exception, with their brightly colored games that spark joy in the lives of children and adults alike. It would sure hurt if people discovered the egregious amount of money required in order to max out a Clash Royale account upon creation.

Here is an example of how a company, Blizzard Entertainment, reacted when their image was threatened. First, some background.

The Known World, in 1923

I just need your guys's thoughts on the world I'm creating. It's supposed to represent a heavy blend of the Early Modern and Antiquity eras, taking parts of daily life and culture from both.

Time System
The world's time is divided into two parts. BE, and AE. Before Expulsion, and After Expulsion. This refers to when the kingdoms and states almost exclusively trapped on the coasts, lakes, and rivers moved in and crushed the occupying Dragonborne, Wolfborne, and Orcish forces and populations. The Orcish populations have been all but eradicated in anything west of the Luthrussen border, and the Dragonborne and Wolfborne populations in the continent struggle to survive.

Nations
Duchy of Luthrussen
A rising star of a state on the Luthea Sea, having it's capital seated at Tillichsbac, and it's competent duke, one Luka of Hoisbach, ready for a grand conquest on all directions. This nation is mostly based on the Teutonic Order's culture, with the monarchy and administrative bureaucracy itself based on the Duchy of Prussia, prior to it's first king being declared.
Czroerjtek Dynasty
A strong, yet aging state in the prised spot of the central area of the continent, having among the best ports, most fertile land, and most protected borders, with the mighty Hergzetr Mountains to it's south, and the Boshukovy Mountains to it's east. However, the Great Plain to it's west leaves it exposed. It's culture is based off of early modern Bosnia and Poland, prior to the Ottoman conquest of the former and before the carving up of the latter.
Kingdom of Souriles
A navally powerful state, using the new gunpowder technology coming in from Paenimperia and Czroerjteia to it's south and east. It's dynasty, the Lorigenne, are from a powerful warrior culture of soldiers and knights who long since expelled the Dragonborne and Wolfborne tribes from the area. It's culture is based off of Medieval Normandy and a little bit of Crusader culture in there too.
Crown of Lerogne
A small, yet peaking nation sandwiched between the remaining Dragonborne on the continent and the Kingdom of Souriles. It prepares itself to go on a spike of glory, aiming to conquer the Southdragonne Confederation and be one step closer to making the continent for humans and humans only. It's culture is mostly based off of Late Reconquista era Castille.
Southdragonne Federation
A medium power of a nation, subjegating the Shamaditte's below them and is the last bastion of the D

Dealing with the FOMO - the ONLY WAY unless you wanna quit completely

DISCLAIMER: This post is for us, the unlucky minority of D2 players who are obsessed with collecting stuff. The rest of the bunch should ignore it completely and just go on with their happy Destiny lives. This is not a rant, but more like coming to terms with reality and an attempt to move on.

So, the FOMO (Fear of Missing Out). Even though Bungie has been trying to dial it down, unfortunately there’s nothing much they can actually do about it, because the main factor behind the FOMO – the time-gated content – is a core part of the game. They can extend the clock, give players more time, allow them to continue completing the seasonal objectives even after the end of that particular season, but sooner or later the content will get locked out, along with the associated collectibles, triumphs, seals, lore, etc. Sure, Bungie can implement a mechanism of revisiting the old content, like raids or dungeons, but there is no logical way allowing the players to complete the missing stuff from the past events, or any of the legacy triumphs and seals. Those are locked out forever.

For me the last straw wasn’t even the famous content vaulting that swiped away basically half the game, losing my chance to get the Chronicler title, among other things. It was the recent Festival of the Lost event. I needed only 2 manifested page and 1 haunted sector run for a 100% completion. It was just about 30 mins of gameplay, easy-peasy. But life happened, and I couldn’t make it in time. I had an impeccable record of event completion since 2019, and it got fucked up for good. No way around it. And yes, absolutely, totally my fault, but that doesn’t help with the shitty feeling of missing out, only makes it worse.

And in that very moment, as I was stressed out, with a knot in my stomach, I realized that this, whatever the fuck this is, needs to stop. But how? I don’t want to quit. I do enjoy the game, even though my completionism often made it feel like a second job. So what to do?

Unfortunately, there is no magical solution. The only way is to let it go. You can’t change the way the game works, but you can definitely change the way you PLAY it. If you don’t, it doesn’t matter how hard you try, how disciplined or well-organized you are – the game will find a way to fuck up your perfect record. If not the game itself, life will. Sooner or later it’s gonna happen, and you’re gonna feel miserable. Just like I felt yesterday.

You can’t let Destiny dominate your entire gaming life.

  6. The Monarch has his or her own political party in Parliament and only has power when it is the largest party.

7-The tallest person rules. There are a lot of arranged marriages in this nation. A dwarf/gnome/halfling rebellion is brewing. An unusually tall dwarf is trying to broker peace. A hill giant is claiming they are the rightful ruler.

8-There are two sovereigns, but if they disagree on a policy a sacred chicken pecks at a chart to make the final descion. The Chicken Keeper is a very revered and sought after office.

9-Whoever can tell the hardest riddle rules until the riddle is solved. Then all eligible nobles and the riddle solver compete to tell the hardest riddle and become the next ruler.

10-Whomever gives away the most money rules.

11-The monarch is a mostly ceremonial title, except on nights with the full moon. Those nights they pass judgement, and their judgement is absolute.

12-In daytime, the monarch is a devout worshiper of a God. At night, they are a devout worshiper of a completely different God. The monarch doesn't sleep.

13-To maintain their office, the monarch must eat a part of themselves once a year. The King Butcher is the monarch's most trusted advisor. The current monarch still has most of one arm, but that's about it.

14-The monarch derives power from speaking as little as possible. People who can speak less than the monarch can challenge them for the leadership. The court is full of people not speaking and trying to usurp the monarch if they ever do speak.

Weekly VTuber Spotlight: Marika Matsurika and Yurika Matsurika - December 26, 2021

#Marika πŸŽ€πŸ­ Matsurika


#Self-Introduction

Konmagical~

My name is Marika Matsurika. I'm a magical girl VTuber, but I can't use magic! And an idol comedian... no an idol! A cute, singing, dancing idol! Matsurik is a pretty idol!

And I'm 16, a high school student. What? You've been alcohol drinking? I'm a magical high school student! No problem! It's magic!

Who is it? Who said anything about age fraud? It's magic! It's magic! It's magic!!!

My motto is that anything that doesn't kill you is a scratch. I must be mentally strong because I often have broadcast accidents like hell! The accidents is very high, from spilling a drink full of ice cream all over my pants during a stream to eating a requested Water bug as a palate cleanser for a cake! But it gets lots of laugh so its OK!

Let me introduce you to the puppet beside me. The panda's name is Jas and the cat's name is Min!

These aren't dad jokes...

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

First Contact - Chapter 605 - No Time for Tears

[first] [prev] [next]

"While it was said that the Sixth Precursor War was about the Terran Confederacy and the Unified Council, as 435c3417A4323 discovered that there is more to it than that. This discovery helped lend credence to the name itself as the third Precursor known as the Atrekna had consecutively replaced the Lanaktallan for the Precursor being fought."

- History of the Milky Way Galaxy on the Atrekna, published and verified by the Amalgamated Races Research and Development

Nakteti moved down the hallway, escorted by five of Lady Keena's children. Two on each side, one trailing slightly behind. In defiance of her expectations, her escorts weren't unarmed, but rather just waved through the checkpoint manned by white armored troops. She found the helmets they wore slightly imposing and reminiscent of Terran skulls, which she supposed was the exact reaction the designer had been trying to create.

The hallway was obviously built for Lanaktallans, she could tell by the width and the slow corners. The artwork on the walls was a mixture of Lanaktallan and Terran and something else. Lots of paintings of small spacecraft, space battles depicting large wedge shaped ships, and charging white armored troops.

Finally she reached the door at the end and waited as bowing functionaries pulled it open.

Nakteti had to admit, she half expected to find Darth Harmonus sitting on a throne atop a stack of skulls with mostly-nude Terran females chained to the throne.

Instead it was a comfortable meeting room with a large table that she could tell had a built in holotank hidden beneath the wooden veneer. There were multiple chairs at the sides, two drink dispensers, and a nutriforge.

Inside was two Lanaktallan, one in heavy manacles without chains and the other in a severe uniform. There were four Terrans, all of them in military uniforms, a chrome cyborg with a single red eye that moved back and forth across a horizontal black macroplas visor, a glimmering digital sentience made of red and silver...

And of course, Darth Harmonus himself.

Nakteti had to admit, the sight of him took her breath away. He was taller than the other humans, dressed entirely in black combat armor, with a cape t

Ancient religions trying to contact "aliens", what kept Tom Delonge up, Aleister Crowley and occult

Theres been numerous religions in the past that have tried to contact these "aliens" and have been masquerading as different beings

small excerpt (read full wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aetherius_Society)

King claimed to have been contacted by many aliens, including Venusians, Martians, Devas, and the Great White Brotherhood to spread a message to aid humanity. This message exalted the promising future humanity has should Earthlings turn to better ways of living, while warning of the possible consequences otherwise.[72] King taught that humans had the choice of self-destruction or the enjoyment of a New Age that was coming to Earth. And that the Cosmic Masters had intervened via the Aetherius Society to help humanity into the New Age.[10][24][31]

As Zeller notes in his chapter "Apocalyptic Thought in UFO Religions," King believed there would not be a catastrophic end to the world, but that the planet is on the verge of a new millennium of peace and enlightenment and the Age of Aquarius. This will also require human effort.[30][72][73] The Aetherius Society's teachings share the individualism of not only other New Age teachings of the era, but of the Protestantism King grew up in, i.e. individual humans face the decision of whether to join the millennial kingdom.[31][72][73]

The society also predicts the coming of 'the next Master' from space at an indefinite time, which is said to depend on th

I did it, I finally did it. After 4 years and 92 days I went from being a father, to a dad.

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.

Daughter: I'm hungry

Me: nerves building, smile widening

Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.

She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.

Thank you all for listening.
