Sorry if this is a dumb question, but how is the word “parure” pronounced? I’ve recently become interested in tiaras and royal jewels, and your page is great for learning obscure facts (I really liked the “unusual tiaras” post), but I’m American so I’ve never encountered some of these terms before. Thanks in advance!
Thank you, I’m glad you are enjoying the blog and tiaras. It’s not a dumb question at all, I’m American too so I also have trouble pronouncing parure. Every time I say it out loud it sounds wrong so I’m probably not the best person to ask. Here’s a couple of links to pronunciations just click on the button that looks like the sound icon. Some of them sound different so I’m not sure which is correct. I believe @countessofmonpezat is French, maybe she could help us?
Merriam Webster Dictionary - Parure
Wiktionary - Parure (you have to scroll down a bit for the audio but I like the way this one sounds)
How To Pronounce in English - Parure
How To Pronounce in French - Parure
I know its really exciting to get into rocks and rock collections! But it can be over whelming if you dont know where to start.
-The best starter stones are quartz crystals with calm energies. So like clear quartz, aura quartz, rose quartz, and amethyst. You shouldnt leave these guys in the sun, or let them get too hot. The prices of these went up kinda recently, but they should still be on the cheaper side.
-If you wanna keep in the quartz family for your next stones, lemurians, enhydros, and citrine are really great. They dont like the sun, but they love love love sitting in the moonlight. These are more expensive but its an investment with these darlings.
-If you wanna move away from the quartz family, celestite, agate, fluorite, and selenite are just phenomenal. Dont use water for any of these! Just better safe than sorry, i stick to the rule that if its not a natural quartz dont put it in water.
-For those of you who want some high energy stones, tektites, shiva lingams, fulgurite, labradorite, and melody stones pack a punch!
These are my personal recommendations and what i actively work with!
To cleanse them, let them sit in the moonlight, smudge them with incense, project a white energy into the stone to cleanse it, or let them sit in some sea salt.
Always wash your hands with cold water before and after handling stones. If you canT feel their energy right away, draw a circle on your palms in a counter clockwise motion. Before you work with a crystal, tell it your intention for working with it. Try to know where your crystals or stones are from. Trust your intuition.
Okay let me explain. My problem is not with Sharon Carter. My problem is with the way they handled her and steve’s relationship like wtf I’ve never seen something more forced in my life. I mean I knew it was going to happen and I was okay with it, but that was the worst “no homo” scene in the cinematic history

Hi there! I've been interested in paganism for a while now but every time I try to look into it, I get totally overwhelmed! I was wondering if you could give me a basic rundown of what's out there, as in what types/religions are out there and any other newbie advice. Any resources you have with info would be great too! (ps i've been noticing a pull to the ocean lately so anything related to that would be amazing!)
It isn’t unusual to feel a bit overwhelmed when starting out. Just take a deep breath and meditate of what your reading and own research has drawn out for you.
Start a binder, this binder/notebook will possibly turn into your Book of Shadows (BoS), and will be your guide/dictionary for you. Put things in it that you’ve deemed important, or find interesting. Such as you having a pull to the sea.
Types of Paganism are Wicca, Shamanism, Druidism, Native American practices, Fae, Celtic, Egyptian, Green Witch, Magick, and any other religion that is polytheistic (typically) or heavily dealing with nature and oneness with it.
My basic advice, is take all the research that you find important and write/print it out and place it in a binder of sorts. This will help tame the overwhelming feeling of it all.

Me too.
everyone around me underestimates how much i am willing to fight and argue for bucky barnes
he is my baby and if you call him a villain i will go steve rogers on your ass
Short comic, while I work on something bigger on the side. It is nevertheless a very important topic. A lot of seabirds die because they eat plastic. They feed their chicks with the waste. It’s really tragic.
reblog to send your mutuals a hug. maybe just the thought is enough to cheer them up 🥺
Something I want to keep as I keep pronouncing it wrong myself.
Not a Bot, just a lurker rather than poster. Fandom old in too many fandoms to count (and been burned many times, hence preferring to lurk). Likes: natural history, antique jewellery, fashion I can’t wear and bits and pieces of other stuff.
