Oh, and sorry to bring back up an old thread, but I felt like breaking down a little more of the subway kitty's kooky little ritual he/she/it/whatever is apparently planning on doing on election day due to a belief that doing so will affect the outcome of a presidential election.
Let's see some of what's on the kitty's shopping list for November:
"A balancing scale"
I'm sure that'll really help the magic work.
"A statue of Ammit,"
Probably made in China, or perhaps just in some pothead's basement, cobbled from materials that the pothead in question stole from somewhere.
" a small plastic model of a heart,"
LMAO! That part's just plain funny! I'm sure that the Egyptian deities are deeply moved and impacted by the use of plastic models of organs!
Fun fact: The earliest known use of plastics was by the Mesoamericans; The ancient Egyptians who worshipped those false pagan deities the kitty fawns all over would never have even heard of plastics.
"a bunch of sword charms,"
A "Bunch of," huh? No particular number? I was under the impression that magic spells and crap like that required very specific quantities of the items required.
" stone sake cup,"
So, a Japanese cup designed for the consumption of a Japanese drink invented hundreds of years after the fall of the ancient Egyptian Empire who worshipped those gods (The first known record of sake existing dates to the 3rd century AD, at which point Egypt had long since been conquered by the Roman Empire) by people who likely had no knowledge at all of the Egyptian gods will help the kitty conduct rituals to harness the power of the Egyptian gods or whatever? 'kaaaaaaaaay.
Along those lines, the kitty's list might as well have included a couple Hopi Kachina dolls, some sort of Norse mythological token, and an Aztec ritual knife!
"parchment,"
So, like the kind the ancient Egyptians used which was made from animal skins (What would PETA say?), or the kind made from modern synthetic materials that are unlike anything the ancient Egyptians who came up with these rituals would have ever heard of?
"his signature from the stimulus check letter,"
I doubt that would work, as it would be using a copy of his signature from something completely different, and which is likely merely a reproduction of his signature. Not exactly the same as having a sample of his blood or anything.
"a white ostrich feather"
I take it those feathers would probably not be collected in a sustainable or cruelty- free way? Again, what would PETA say?
This is especially relevant because at least one species of ostrich which the ancient Egyptians would likely have been familiar with and whose feathers were likely used in their freaky rituals, the North African ostrich, is now a critically endangered species.
Harmfully gathering their feathers for an outdated and malicious religious ritual/ spell is like something that a villain from 'Captain Planet' or 'Wild Kratts' would do!
"and possibly 22 egyptian gods along with Anubis and Osirus."
1. What's the matter, kitty? One BS disproven deity not powerful enough for your juju ritual, you need to bring in the whole gang? They must be seriously weak!
2. How exactly would the kitty bring gods to the ritual (Since the gods are listed along with the other ridiculous ingredients like the plastic heart and the sake cup)? Would it be more made in China statuettes, or maybe paper dolls of them, or what?
I guess neo-pagans have somehow progressed from refusing to acknowledge God to any-god-but-God.
Bingo!
They want to feel "Spiritual," but deeply hate the Lord God due to those pesky commandments and moral obligations associated with Him. So, people like the subway kitty will happily worship any other deity (Including ridiculous, outdated gods from ancient Egypt who were long since shot down) BUT the one true God.
