Getting better with each talisman made.

The thing I love most about surrealist poetry is finding new interpretations when I forget the inspiration.

It took 2000 years to see your words
entwined with my terracotta hands and
left knuckle-broken for wanting pseudocarp

You never gave me your name

So I will flash a palm silhouette
stretched over moistened paper retinas
just to hear your throat croak
from the first moan of the morning

Little puppets hummed the elegy
of the lapis hammersmith
as your cleft thumb gives me sustenance

Why is it only ever one of two options when it comes to the occult?

1). They dabbled in the occult, so there were spirits
2). The person was a witch. So, obviously haunted

Where's the "she was a very successful witch and sold her totally normal home for 3x market value"?

I'm always hypnotized by the final product when etching a talisman.

I dreamt that I shut down a men's fitness center they put it at the top of a mountain that they kept lubed with oil, because they didn't have wheelchair access.

If they died suddenly and didn't get an opportunity to remove the staple, they became a ghost. But being a ghost didn't last forever, because the staple would eventually rust away.

I dreamt that everyone had an astral thread attached to their eyes. Every mile you went, you had to staple the thread to the ground. Otherwise, it would lead to mental anguish. When a person was dying, they had to unstaple the thread and let their eyes float into the sky.

I did some napkin math on how much I'll be able to make compared to the cost. I'll be serving it up at 25¢ per serving.

Bought this last weekend and just figured out the perfect ratio for making tamarind agua fresca. I'll be able to make a grotesque amount. I'm so excited.

This should last me a while.

Andrew Dice Clay is *hardly* culture. Lol. But I see your point.

Thanks for not making me feel like an ancient fuck.

I would love to learn to play it, but my physiology prevents it.

My hands are just too goddamn big.

Yaramarud @yaramarud.bsky.social · 29d

I was doing some cleaning today.

Found a mandolin.

I don't know how to play the mandolin. To my knowledge, I've never purchased a mandolin. I don't know anyone who plays the mandolin.

Not sure what I'm gonna do with this.

Because everything else doesn't remind me of how old I am. Gotta get that from my family too.

Conversation with my wife:

"Bobcat Goldthwait is in this?"

"Who?"

"He was a popular comedian in the late 80s/early 90s. Like Andrew Dice Clay."

"Who?"

"Goddammit. I'm not *that* much older than you"

That's a great idea. Love it.

Yaramarud @yaramarud.bsky.social · Sep 9

Keep an eye out. We've got plenty of people behind this working together to make it a reality. I'll be sure to post more details as they unfold.

Yaramarud @yaramarud.bsky.social · Sep 9

Myself and others are in the process of building an entire festival next year focused on chaos magick, eclectic witchcraft, and non-dogmatic occult practices!

Right now, we're brainstorming names and are taking suggestions.

Have any you'd like to share?

I dreamt I was editing a book on magick and had just finished a section on the importance of pumpkin stems in the use of curses and traps.

I dreamt I was a Bedouin on a pilgrimage from Albany, New York to attend a funeral. Wearing black robes through an airport, I was taken to a boarding lounge where my clothing was mercilessly mocked by 3 siblings that I chastised to tears using the words taught to me by the University of Sand.
