I was infuriated the other day to hear that over 50% of transgender individuals in the United States simply do not use public bathrooms because of the social stigma and the very real danger of being harassed by strangers, suffering from hate crimes, being sexually assaulted, or even being killed by a government sympathizer. Some of them even avoid eating or drinking so they do not need to use the bathroom in a public place and 8% of the trans people surveyed said they suffered from UTI or related problems from simply never using the restroom. The situation is especially egregious in schools where they may be forced to wear clothing of the opposite gender as well as only allowed to use the gender that the school assigns to them.

Despite this, sympathizers and other hate groups defend the actions of these organizations and even recruit others into their ideology to continue the legacy of oppression. The policies around bathrooms for transgender people that echo Jim Crow laws and only exist to cause suffering to the community. What is being done to Transgender people in this country is nothing short of genocide. On top of the bathrooms, the arbitrary arrests by police, or the laws put into place to stop them from getting hormones or medications. If a transgender person even tries to use the correct bathroom, the regime will make them disappear, and probably put them into forced labor with all the other political prisoners. For trans people who are also ethnic or religious minorities, the treatment is even more extreme and brutal!

In an ideal world, all of those dangerous transphobic people would be arrested and deported immediately, but unfortunately the opposite happens, with so many people giving into dangerous ideologies or using them as a paper thin disguise for the hatred of certain groups of people. They are given control of society and people feel the need to give in to complaints despite them not having

The solution is not easy, because even if restrooms were de-gendered or specific trans bathrooms that would still create opportunities for malicious individuals to harass or mistreat trans people, or in the case of trans bathrooms it would alienate and expose who is trans based on who uses that bathroom. The solution to this issue is to change societal thinking, because at the end of the day the issue of trans people using the bathroom is not an issue, even if the rightists want to believe it is. The issue is ideological fanaticism from reactionaries and overt segregation of the bathroom through unofficial ways such as humiliation and harassment from random people. People need to stop treating the bathrooms like airport security and let people pee.

I can’t believe I need to write a political theory about letting people use the bathroom. This whole situation seems so immature and childish, and if someone is so scared of being assaulted in a bathroom maybe they need to find one less seedy and dangerous. What kind of neighborhood do these people live in to be so scared of being assaulted in the bathroom or wherever else? When a person does not live in reality, they can’t be argued with. They need to take their minds out of these alt-right think tanks, and look around at the actual reality.

When I say necromancy, I do not just mean talking to the dead. The term is vague but even talking to ghosts is a form of it although in Lavenderism it would be called ghost worship and not considered too close to actual death energy based necromancy. The necromancy I’m talking about is not just dealing with a virgin ghost in the bathroom, I mean summoning a god of death (Or other energies that work for the same purpose) and directing death energy through you to accomplish tasks. Some practices are just raising the soul of a dead person to speak with them, but the greatest risk with those are imposter spirits. If you begin working with actual death energy necromancy, you can physically rot, you can have people around you die or die yourself, and even those who survive end up with health issues they need to manage.

A pro is that you experience a new dimension of existence, because it is very rare for most people to be touched by death energy while still alive. The con of this is that death essence (Energy from necromantic death workings) can cling to you and cause health problems or death to you or those close to you. This is especially true if you are using magic to make people or things die, since you are channeling that energy through yourself. You would be much better off to work with life energy and healing since it would affect you similarly and in a positive way.

Another thing that can either be a pro or a con for necromancy is that it is extremely dark. Some will be turned off, and others would like it. Some who like dark things might even try it if it wasn’t for health concerns. There are also some illegal aspects that include grave robbing or using the dirt from the grave of a dead person so they may help you out as a ghost in exchange for compensation. This is not to be done lightly and only the ghosts of magicians. You don’t need to graverob ancestors either because you are already connected to them, while this random magician is just kind of someone you take the graveyard dirt from, knock on their door, and hope they feel inclined to help you.

So while there are benefits to working with death energy in different ways, it is extremely difficult, dangerous, and it is not something that should be picked up casually at all. Those who naturally resonate with death energy usually also resonate with life energy, which also has benefits such as assisting in the care of plants, pets, and children as well as improving your own health and fertility over time. Life energy is also useful for anything related to nature such as crops, livestock or trees.

The spiritual uses of alchemical symbols are esoteric, but the basic energies they represent will provide you with different benefits. The four elements of water, earth, air and fire are straightforward but some symbols such as sulfur, creation, mercury, or salt can have other effects like cleansing or adding on to your base energy. Some have obvious uses like gold for wealth or earth for grounding. Some symbols may even be invoked to treat certain health conditions, like the symbol of iron being used to treat anemia over time.

To add the symbols to your body, it is recommended to use eye liner or body-safe markers approved for usage. It is not the same as drawing the sigil of a deity so nothing is summoned besides the energy of whatever substance the symbol represents. You can tattoo it, but you should make sure first that the energy of the substance resonates with you on a spiritual level and that you can handle having it permanently. You may also end up changing relationships with other people or the manifestations of your life since the addition of another element into your auric field will change the soul's journey and can manifest in different ways.

Most people are alone these days and while capitalist society is very much to blame for this, we should also look at who we reject and why. Do we refuse to spend time with someone because they can’t drive themselves anywhere, or maybe because they are not the perfect person we want them to be? Do we refuse any romantic partners for reasons that are relatively trivial such as their hair or maybe a dislike of tattoos or glasses? While these are all valid reasons and you cannot force yourself to like someone or want to spend time with them, you should still have some people in your life that you talk to and are able to interact with. Rejection of every possible friend, romantic interest or others could possibly indicate that you have issues with being overly picky, emotionally unavailable, or you want people to live up to imagined ideas.

There are valid reasons to cut someone out of your life such as being exploitative of you through excessive favors that never get repaid or maybe the man you’re seeing already has a wife. Other reasons like a person being unpleasant or disrespectful are valid reasons to stop seeing someone even if you can’t necessarily blame them. However, if you look back and see that you’re rejecting people or missing out on a lot of social connections, you may want to think about why you tend to do that.

I don’t want to give people the opposite problem either of clinging to toxic people or keeping people around that do not improve your mood and/or vibrations. You bring people into your life who improve your mood, you want to be around, or who help you in some way. Someone coming to be malicious or who ends up bringing you problems and things, they are worse than loneliness.

Today and tomorrow are holy days, because it is the last day of the new year. It is time to be attending the shrine, working with the Maiden Made of Light and Rhinne, and party on this day to set the tone for the year. Avoid arguments and clean up the house a bit so you don’t bring that energy into the new year. Listen to all of the best music and keep yourself in a high vibration for this day.

This is significant because the first and last day of a new year are markers in the soul’s journey. This year, you can progress more to accomplish and fulfill your purpose of the current lifetime.

A resolution for the new year will help you to manifest and set goals for the next year. My resolution is to party more and obtain lots of money, but you can choose a resolution for yourself that resonates better with your life goals and life path. Just make sure you choose something you will stick with and is realistic, because even the smallest improvement through resolution is better than doing nothing.
