Just in case anyone is wondering why I'm still rather inactive - that's how I currently live. I moved into a new place over the course of the last few weeks and I have no furniture - like, at all. I only have a mattress. And thanks to the Corona situation, everything is closed in my country. That means I can't buy any furniture at the moment. If I want to use my PC, I have to sit on the floor, kinda funny, living in an apartment with absolutely nothing to sit on. So I'm spending most of the time in my bed like the depressed pile of sadness I am. I hope I'll be back soon once I finished moving, depending on my mental health. Maybe I can use my laptop in the meantime for in-depth posts, considering typing on my smartphone is rather painful and I could use it in my bed. That would be comfy.

I've been doing push-ups, planks and crunches for that. Very irregularly. They still help, though.

But it is still nice to get out every once in awhile.
@RainAndSadness I've been in similar situations. I've moved around alot over the past 1/2 century i've been on the earth. Never really owned much furniture. I'm use to a mattress, hard chair and a TV being what i start out with. Although i've never had to wait for a pandemic to be over before i was able to rent a few pieces of furniture to get me by.

Edit: I did have a couple tables, my computer and dresser also.

Oh dear, welcome to using boxes as furniture, I've been there before. Far from ideal, though it looks like a nice little place.
I lost half my furniture in my move last year. Old solid oak stuff that was my grandparents originally. No one wanted it so it was either given away or chopped up.

Black magic and bullets? Why do you need bullets if you have magic? :D

Just curious. Why does the reference of Faust usually lead to a black magic thing?

Faust was dealing with devil. That is why it is a golden standard.

As in a Faustian Deal.

Faustian bargain | Story, Meaning, & Facts | Britannica

Faustian bargain, a pact whereby a person trades something of supreme moral or spiritual importance, such as personal values or the soul, for some worldly or material benefit, such as knowledge, power, or riches. The term refers to the legend of Faust, a character in German folklore and literature.

Technically witchcraft and black magic is not a godly creation. Faust sold his soul for knowledge and all the goods on the planet. It is a black magic.

I am aware of Faust. To me selling your soul is not black magic. For me black magic is more of doing something to harm others. But i will say that it could be a selfish act also. But again this is my view of it.

 

[Deleted member 1465]

Btw the black magic thing was just the blurb in that article. In the books Daniel Faust is an urban sorcerer, no black magic or deals with the devil as such.

Ah, I don't know actually. I was inspired by Goethe's "Faust". Never heard of any other theories.

Have you heard of white/gray/back magic before? Same like the hackers. Again this is only my thoughts on the matter.

Well he was the original
I just used to read a lot or urban fantasy.

Yes, I even know one person who practices black magic, though I have never immersed deeply in this subject. But it seems to me Vodun is more consistent than any European black magic.

Do you know why they practice the black art? The Good, the bad, the ugly? LOL
I've never heard of Vodun before.

Hmmm after looking briefly into Vodun, i would not say that's "black magic". That almost seems more Wiccan. But how one uses it could be a different story. I have been wrong before though.

I guess because the forbidden fruit is sweet. If we don't like anything, we are looking for an alternative.
All our lives we are self-digging and eventually come to something. Some people find their comfort and peace in black magic.

But i think the whole concept for me was.. what is "Black Magick"? And yes the K was not a typo-

I see you know the difference between these two things and I cannot say that for sure because there are lots of occultism practices. The spectrum is huge.This is same as with the Black Sun, it does not appear in all the practices.
