The word "fae" and "faerie/fairy" actually comes originally from the Latin word "fate", referring to the 3 Fates, which are spin offs on the Moirai and various other IndoEuropean personifications of time. So .. technically the Irish culturally appropriated it from the Romans... 😜

My personal favourite personifications are the Norns, because their names are cool. Urðr, Verðandi and Skuld (literally: happened, happening, and "should" happen ... 3 very happening babes). -

Canadian politicians are delusional if they think that retaliatory tariffs are doing to have any effect. The trade relationship between USA and Canada is completely asymmetrical. The US have no significant dependency on trade with Canada which can't be replaced with US goods. The only serious exception to that is electricity which we supply to the northern US states and then for bazaar reasons then later buy back at more expensive rates. In fact we do that with a lot of things we supply to the USA, which is frankly retarded.
Nor is Trump likely to see the error of his ways and reverse course on the tariffs. It's not his personality type. He's a narcissist. There's zero chance he'll ever admit being wrong even when he clearly is. In my view the best course of action would be to take this opportunity to wean the Canadian economy off of it's dependence on the USA, and then eliminate all trade with the USA 100% until they fucking smarten up or elect someone with more a respectful and cooperative attitude. And we should start doing that immediately with our energy supplies.

Some missing from the list... race, sexuality, genitals. Probably more but those just seemed conspicuously absent. -

He left by specifically entering the hotel which the cops were using as their staging area. -

Ezra Levant (Revel News) was the Canadian equivalent of this, which makes it very ironic that he was so on board with the Truckers protest. In every other protest in history that he's covered he's been first up to vilify the protesters with every smear and trick in the book. -

You mean the Truckers? I dunno. I thought the bouncy castle was kinda based. The grandstanding and infighting by protest `leaders` was nothing new though. But just like every other protest I've been aware/part of, the way the MSM covered it was absolutely backwards compared to the reality on the ground. After seeing that enough times you just realise that the politicians and MSM are 100% lying pieces of shit who have no desire to listen to their constituents (at least those who aren't big corporate lobbyists able to pay bribes). -

Every so often they even get caught, but only fraction of the time when the protesters are vigilant enough and committed to non-violence.

Even if you're a sovereign unceded first nation who never had a treaty with "Canada Inc.", they will vilify you as terrorists and send the RCMP and private merc's to oust you from your own land.
All while crying "Russian invasion!!" out the other side of their mouth.

It's the same in Canada. The sweet spot in terms of number of protesters seems to be about 50-100. If you have less than 50 people in the crowd then the police will beat you on account of being a public nuisance. If you have 50-100 people you're just big enough that it's too great a hassle for the cops to easily deal with. If you're more than 100 people, you're a threat and the city authorities will come down on you like an iron jack boot while the MSM all vilifies you in lockstep so the general public will excuse the authorities for doing so. Of course it depends on the cause too. If you're doing some kind of activism that the government condones du jour, then they might turn a blind eye, or even provide union and NGO funding, some photo ops with local politicians, and so on. -

I've heard this several times myself. But then guys I know who have far bigger packages than my own somehow attract lots of sluts to whom I would be the equivalent of someone throwing a hotdog down a hallway. -

It's been the bread and butter of military intelligence for eons now. The Cambridge Analytica scandal is the tip of the iceberg, but in terms of modern/recent case studies, it's a very good intro. In fact people who point the finger and bleat "Nazi!!" while frothing at the mouth are a good example of what one of the effected parties looks like. They've been hypnotised into a state mindless frenzy by too much repeated exposure to social media algorithms which play on their exaggerated fears and emotions like a musical instrument.

Honestly, most of the worst manipulation that used to be the domain of malicious sorcery, is now conducted by social media companies and marketing firms using AI trained on your personal information. -

There are a lot of different traditions surrounding that depending which branch of alchemy specifically involved. Though it's definitely not traditional, I consider the "philosopher's stone" to be a collection of perennial truths and wisdom about the operations of nature which survive the ages and all attempts to debunk them. But truthfully in the original alchemy (literally al Kemet, from black earth, ie. "from Egypt") it was meant as a physical object tmk.
This is a somewhat related video from Dr. Justin Sledge about his attempt at recreating an alchemical potion for depression, albeit minus the dangerously toxic ingredients. It will give you an idea just how bonkers some of this stuff was. They literally often came up with a theory (frequently based on some superstitious nonsense from the BuyBull) and then backwards rationalised how a recipe and how it should work, mostly a priori knowledge.

My personal favourite herbal lore is the "Doctrine of Signatures", because people get it completely backwards. They think if the flower is yellow it's therefore good for the urinary tract. Or if it's heart shaped it's good for the heart. But in reality they knew what the plant was good for FIRST based on experience, and then decided on a feature of the plant that would make it easy to memorise for purpose of identification and associate with it's usage, and to be able to teach it to others (a posteriori). It's the different between the science of mnemonics, and the superstition of some crystal cruncher who learned it off a tiktok video (or modern doctor with their arrogant conceit). -

Yeah. Alchemy is a whole other kettle of fish that get's stuck in the blender with herbalism largely thanks to Paracelsus (father of modern toxicology), due to his invention of Spagyric medicine. Back in those days there was a lot of rivalry between different practitioners so they invented a bunch of convoluted symbolic ciphers and cockamamie theories to explain how it all worked. Partly to keep things proprietary so they could get paid/famous, and partly to prevent one's self getting burned at the stake by insanely superstitious Christians who wilfully misunderstand things like that. Gods forbid you were a woman trying to ply folk medicine, because that was illegal/Satanic. The earlier stuff pre-Paracelsus that didn't have as much Alchemy woo infused into it was much more down to earth though, provided it was ever recorded and that we can decipher the nomenclature. Linnaeus was a big help thankfully. But also the Greeks and Egyptians recorded a lot of their medical practices in plain language which has largely come down in tact, even if it's hard to identify sometimes precisely what plants they were indicating. -

I use wild lettuce tincture to treat my own headaches, but you can also still use willow or poplar cambium. It works. That said, what you're getting in the bark isn't asperin from the drug store. It's an unrefined precursor to asperin which has a much more potent but also short duration effect. Also you need to be careful with it because in larger or long term doses it can result in internal bleeding. This stuff still all works very well, but it's not all exactly child's play. You have to have some caution and experience, and ideally one or several good mentors. Plantago major is another good painkiller, which though milder is still quite effective, and like wild lettuce you can use it as a salad green and get all the same benefits that way and then some.
