Words and actions matter.
“Happy is the man who can make others better, not merely when he is in their company, but even when he is in their thoughts!” —Seneca
Volunteering is a great way to spread unconditional love. Also, a way to take action when we feel stuck in our situation.
“Selfish action imprisons the world. Act selflessly, without any thought of personal profit.”
—Bhagavad Gita
“We must act in a selfless spirit, Krishna says, without ego-involvement and without getting entangled in whether things work out the way we want; only then will we not fall into the terrible net of karma. We cannot hope to escape karma by refraining from our duties: even to survive in the world, we must act.”
—Bhagavad Gita
“Where the head goes, the body follows. Perception precedes action. Right action follows the right perspective.”
—Ryan Holiday
“You ask me why I do not write something.... I think one's feelings waste themselves in words, they ought all to be distilled into actions and into actions which bring results.”
—Florence Nightingale
are you still taking donations for esims? I can't buy them myself directly but really want to help.
yes, I am!
for anyone unaware--I have a fund set up, and I buy esims and top them up out of that fund. I get eSims to people in Gaza (and refugees in Egypt) in three ways--via Connecting Humanity (gazaesims@gmail.com), via Gaza Online, and directly, through my contact in Gaza.
you can donate to my eSim fund through venmo (@gothhabiba), cashapp ($NajiaK), or paypal (paypal.me/Najia). use tagline "esims" or something similar, because otherwise I assume all donations are for Mohammad Abu Hamam's fundraiser.
you can also donate to eSim funds run by Crips for eSims for Gaza or Gaza Online.
if you don't have eSim money, you can still help out the effort by flyering.
Actions in Witchcraft
Just like each herb and crystal has certain properties and strength, so do actions taken during rituals and spells. When writing spells it is important to include the proper actions to make sure your spell is as effective as possible.
Burning - Burning an object is a common practice in spells and rituals. Fire is considered a cleansing and activating force.
If you want to destroy something’s influence, burn it and dispose of the ashes away from your home.
If you want to set something into motion, burn objects related to the situation to ash.
If you want to activate certain energies, burn objects related to those involved.
If you are performing a curse or hex, burn the object in the flame of a candle.
Burying/Abandoning - A Witch might bury and object for many reasons. They might want to put something to rest, perform a slow spell, or banish something. There are different ways in which one can bury an object to accomplish a desired outcome:
If you want to keep something close, bury the object in your back yard.
If you want to attract something, bury the object under the front door step
If you want to disperse something to a distance, throw the object into a crossroads
If you want to fix an influence, inter the object in a five-spot pattern
If you want something to work by means of spirits, bury the object in a graveyard (but don’t disrupt those buried there!)
If you want to hide something’s point of origin, conceal the object in a tree
If you want something/someone to work by stealth, hide the object in clothing or on objects
If you want an influence to begin or strengthen, throw the object East
If you want an influence to end or weaken, throw the object West
Rubbing - Rubbing an object can be the easiest and most immediate way to experience witchcraft. Transferring and garnering energy from objects can be done through physical contact with an object.
If you want to put energy into an object, rub it with your left hand
If you want to gather energy from an object, rub it with your right hand
If you want to bring positivity, rub clockwise
If you want to bring negativity, rub counter clockwise
If you want to use crystals to heal, rub the appropriate stone on the effected part of the body.
Soaking - Water is one of the main elements used in witchcraft. It comes in many forms with many different properties and uses.
If you want something to move away and sink, throw it in running water
If you want something’s influence to rise and fall cyclically, float it in a tidal estuary
If you want to protect or cleanse something, soak an object in rain water
If you are focused on your personal goals, soak your object in sea water
If you want to bring about transformation, soak your object in snow/melted snow
If you’re trying to make a wish come true, soak your object in well water
If you want to banish, soak your object in harbor water
maziekeen’s gif sharpen action #2
important: this action will give you the finished gif with sharpen and proper speed, similar to the action i use in my tutorial for photoshop cs5
useful links:
download the action (updated with v2)
download the psds
crop sizes (new dimensions)
text settings
save for web & devices (gif settings)
my ko-fi <3
my coloring tutorials:
two parts tutorial, more detailed and with tips
hthaigtct tutorials, small ones from scratch no base psd
notes:
for the sharpening action i used the settings from completeresources tutorial, with one little adjustment and i also left the option to do it so you can adjust as you wish
as i said before, this will work for photoshop cc (probably cs6+ since that’s when the sharpen changed from cs5)
here i assume that you know the basis of how to make a gif (take screencaps or upload the video in photoshop) crop and things like that. if in doubt, check out steps 1 and 2 of my tutorial here
how to use:
1. once you have loaded the screencaps and cropped the gif, choose the appropriate action. DICOM Files and Load Files Into Stack you use depending on the way you loaded the screens on photoshop
2. the part 1, the action will “make” the gif for you and add sharpening, two pop ups will open for the sharpen:
the frst one is the sharpening itself: amount 500% and radius 0.4px — press ok or hit enter to continue
the second one is the amount of blur, change the opacity to soften the sharpening a bit, then you can adjust according to the preview — press ok or hit enter to continue
if you messed up or the settings isn’t quite right, you can adjust here:
3. now that you are satisfied with the sharpness, play part 2 to finish the gif and you are done. what this part two does is fix the speed of the gif back to 0,05
done! if you have any questions or need help, send me a message
a gif tutorial by osvaldrps + sharpening action
i was asked if my old-old gif tutorial (you can find it here) is still valid a lot and i’ve decided to update it with the video. so here we are!
i’ve recorded every step i usually make when making gifs and tried to explain as much as possible. it doesn’t have audio (except for music) since i don’t have an opportunity to record it atm but i’ve added subtitles so don’t forget to turn them on. you can find the tutorial down below, my sharpening action is linked too. hope it’s helpful. don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions! (and lmk if subtitles are too fast to read)
watch the video // download the action
