Fried Egg and Rice

I love how they say bird egg, like there might be the slight chance that you might use a dinosaur egg.

Difficulty: Easy-ish, it’s easier if you’ve made fried rice before, 20-ish minutes, serves 1

Ingredients:

1 cup White Rice

1 green onion

1 egg

Salt

¼ tsp. Crushed Red Pepper flakes, more or less depending on your spice level

1 tbsp soy sauce

1 tbsp rice wine vinegar

½ tsp sesame oil

oil for frying

Prepare your rice. I’m using a rice cooker, so wash your rice, measure the right amount of water, and set it to cook. Cool completely before using. Leftover rice also works for this.

Thinly slice up your green onion. Set aside. In a separate bowl, mix the soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, salt, and red pepper flakes. 

In a pan, heat about a tablespoon of oil on medium low. Crack your egg in the pan, and cover. Cook until it’s done how you like it.

While that’s cooking, heat another tablespoon of oil in another pan. Put your rice and fry for about 1 minute. Mix in the soy sauce mixture, and stir. When everything is incoperated, turn off the heat and mix in the green onion.

Put rice into a bowl. Place fried egg on top. If you want to add a protein to your fried rice, you can. Just fry it up before adding rice. It’s a super filling breakfast that’s easy (enough) to make and tastes great.

I’m in! :3

Carrie was an utter gift.

🌊Ocean Spell for Cleansing the Soul 🌊

July 22nd was sacred to Neptune, the god of the sea. Since this is when many people visit the beach, it's also a perfect time to do a bit of spiritual cleansing in the ocean. After all, the sea contains not only salt, which is associated with purification, but also moving water, which can carry metaphysical baggage far away from you.

Do this spell at sunrise or as close to low tide as possible. If you can, time it for a week after the full moon.

You will need:

Glass jar with a lid

Stand barefoot in the sand, along the water line. Close your eyes and consider all the things that are weighing you down. What aspects of your life or draining you of your spirit? These things need to go away.

Imagine these issues trickling slowly out of your body, from your head down to your toes. Let the water wash over your feet, and as the tide ebbs and flows, picture it drawing your problems away with it, carrying them far out to sea.

When you feel refreshed, as though the ocean has cleansed your soul, slowly count to nine, then fill your glass jar with water. Take the water home with you, and if you need a bit of a booster later, drizzle the water over your toes in the bathtub, and send your problems down the drain.

Trigger warning for Nazis and antisemitism.

I came across the above image being shared by a friend, and I would like to point out some problems with this simplistic approach.

For context, I am a Jewish man, I read and write elder Futhark fluently, I am familiar with runic divination, and I have MANY close Norse neopagan friends: even my sister is a Norse pagan. This post is not an attack on the pagan community. It is a reminder that we MUST address reality, not fantasy.

I understand the sentiment this image is trying to convey, and if you are a Norse pagan, you should resent and defy Nazis for abusing something that is important to you.

However, the reality is that symbols carry meanings given to them by humans, and Nazis have given hateful meanings to Germanic symbols, beginning under the third Reich and continuing to this day. Those symbols include the Futhark runic alphabets, specifically odal and sowilo, as well as symbols like the equal armed cross, the valknut, vegvisir, and mjolnir. These symbols have carried deeply hateful antisemitic meanings since before you, and most of your parents, were born. You CANNOT ignore that, or make it go away.

It would be blind to assert that the swastika does not belong to Nazis, has no antisemitic and evil meaning, and is not tainted by their use of it. Indigenous people groups who value that symbol in their own cultures have reacted differently. For example, some Desi cultures still use it, but the Navajo people do not, because of the Nazi implications it now irrevocably carries. If you are white, you DO NOT get to "reclaim" the swastika, no matter how much you love other cultures.

While I understand that these symbols and others are important to my pagan and wiccan friends, you can't deny the darker meanings that they carry. If you are going to be using them, you are accepting upon yourself an obligation to educate people about their meanings - ALL their meanings - and to make it abundantly clear that you are an ally of the Jewish people.

Unfortunately, when I see people wearing or using Germanic symbols, I WILL think "I wonder if they're a Nazi" every single time. Every time. It is an inescapable reality that these symbols are being used as silent dog whistles for hatred of Jewish people and other "non-whites."

If you don't want people to suspect you of being a Nazi, you have ONLY two options.

1: Don't use Germanic symbols

2: Make it FIERCELY evident that you are an ally to Jews, POC, and queer people

Gentiles, you are invited to reblog this post.

Antisemitism will not be tolerated on this post: specifically, do not speak over Jewish voices on the issue of antisemitism, and do not assert that the claims in this post are false.
