Be cool to each other. We'll welcome most occult themes, it's okay if you stray from witchcraft a bit.

No advertising. No trolling. No hate. Violaters will be removed unceremoniously.

We love art credits when possible.

Everyone's got an inner monologue. Some are just better at articulating it.

But meditation isn't about thinking, it's about breathing. Slow, deep breaths to calm your heart and relax your muscles. The idea is to clear your mind by physically releasing stress, not to dwell on your problems by squeezing your eyes shut and catastrophizing.

nope, there are actually people who don’t have an inner monologue. they think with pictures, associations, and feelings but cannot hear themselves in their head.

There's actually lots of kinds of meditation.

Thats like saying the purpose of surgery is to take stuff out or the purpose of drugs is to stop headaches.
