they should invent water for men

Good news OP

While this is a funny joke, as far as I'm aware this company is actually pretty cool, and the purpose behind the Liquid Death (sparkling or still) water is quite wholesome.

Part of the reason for it being a tallboy is that aluminum cans are more recyclable than water bottles, potentially infinitely so, while water bottles either have a limited amount of recyclability potential or aren't actually recyclable at all.

The other reason is to literally make it more fun and appealing to drink something other than alcohol at concert venues. Part of getting over addiction or even getting away from a culture that is doing you harm is, in the US at least, heavily associated with becoming "no fun". The idea here is to make water as fun in terms of packaging as alcohol, so people who are going sober, who can't drink, or who are the Designated Driver don't have to feel like they're relegated to the "no fun zone" forever and still get to order something with a silly name. We had these at my brother's wedding as an alcohol alternative and tbh it was really neat.

From the Liquid Death website:

"Most products in the health and wellness space are all marketed with “aspirational” fitness models and airbrushed celebrities. And many of us are tired of it. Why should unhealthy products be the only brands with “permission” to be loud, fun, and weird? And let's be honest, almost all marketing and branding is just theater. So we’re going to treat our theater like a movie theater and have more fun with it."

So yeah! If you want a neat alternative to buying bottled water, this isn't a bad alternative. Also, if you feel like you miss the feeling of opening a can of beer and drinking one, especially with carbonation, this could help curb the urge without having to substitute soda.

Oh. So it was a stand against single use plastic, alcoholism culture, and eating disorders disguised as fitness.

saying this, she casually threw aside a large rock

For the record they have also created a metal band whose lyrics are entirely made up of online reviews. 🤣

https://liquiddeath.com.  these folks are clearly having a lot of fun with their marketing.  also, they donate 10% of the profits from their tallboys to anti-plastic-pollution, pro-clean-water non-profits.

This is hilarious and is 100% my aesthetic tbh

do something somewhat useful while being PRETENTIOUS and DOOMY

yes please

I just went onto their site and there’s a baby name generator.

The name of my gender unspecified offspring will be BALTHAZAR THROUGHTHEHEADNEY.

Leaving a cup of water on the sidewalk. (via sincappop)

This is simply the best thing I have ever seen.

Apparently cats drink so politely cuz, as mostly solitary hunters (even if living communally), they can take their time drinking water. So they evolved to curve their tongue like a little spoon and the scratchy stuff on it helps to make a more textured surface for hydrogen bonds, and they scoop a tiny bit at a time into their mouths.

Dogs on the other hand are v much pack animals, and are more likely to need to compete for resources like water while it's still there (see also: that video of puppies walking in circles around a donut shaped food bowl as they eat, cuz they're like "oh yes lemme hork down my sibling's food, it's like right there"). So they evolved to form the back of their tongues like a ladle and lunge their head forward a bit as they retract their tongue and snap their mouths closed, to hurl as much water as possible into their mouths at once.

TL;DR

Cats are country club kids with all the time in the world, who sip their drinks with unnatural elegance. Dogs are the kids from a large rambunctious family/in a college dorm who have to defend their drinks from siblings/roommates by chugging it.

I'm reblogging this with a note that for beginners, you don't need ALL of these things, tho most are useful. It can be hard to get your hands on all of these things.

Icicles have protective, defensive properties, and are also great in curse work! Melt an icicle in a jar, and use it’s water to protect or attack.

I MUST DO THIS. O.O

The Smoking Cauldron’s Home Protection Spray

My apartment is really great, unfortunately i am unable to burn sage without my smoke alarm going off. A lot of recipes say just use sea salt water or sage infused water and after I read them, I had that witchy ache to add more. Not just to protect my home, but to protect the shit out if it. If you share my sentiment, then this is the recipe I used. All measurements are subjective so feel free to just use whatever quantities you feel is right for you. I generally don’t use exact measurements with spells.

Add all ingredients to a large glass jar. Fill halfway with moon water, then slowly add the boiling water. Take care not to crack the jar.Stir the mixture clockwise, making sure to send off positive and protective vibes. Sit the jar outside to be charged by the sun. Place the lid on the jar, then place the Amethyst on top. Let sit until you feel like its ready. 

Strain the herbs out of the water, then place the water into a spray bottle. Spray around the area you wish to be protected and purified. 

Types of energy: Water

Introduction to magic masterpost

Water can do many things. It is the great nurturer, necessary for all life on our planet. It is also a great destroyer, washing away forests and cities. Water can dissolve you away in to nothingness, or heal you with its gentle embrace.

Water nurtures what has been damaged, encouraging its natural healing mechanisms, and giving it a safe, protected place to heal before it reenters the world. Once the infection has been destroyed, water can envelop us in its healing embrace, allowing ourselves the distance and security we need to heal on our own. To encourage your own natural healing, be still for a few moments. Think of the water and blood rushing through your arteries and veins. Every part of your body is working to heal you and keep you strong. Water is always with us, always trying to heal us.

Water is associated with romantic and poetic emotions such as romance and love. It is also tied to loving platonic, filial, paternal, and maternal relationships. In a gentle current, water brings life to all that it encounters. 

But water can also represent a deep loathing or hatred, the desire to destroy, codependence, or depression. Where water runs too strongly it always has the chance to run wild and hold dark monsters in its belly. If you are battling any of these issues in your life, try gathering up the watery energies around you and grounding them, then channeling a fiery energy, such as the sun.

Water can nurture your spells and help them grow. It can give spells depth and substance. Pour some clean water in to a bowl or pot and stir it around clockwise. Imagine that the spell is within the water, being brewed and cooked and made to grow strong. It will take on the force and powers of water.

On our planet, water is a universal source of energy. We require it not only to keep ourselves alive, but so does all other life on earth. A cup of fresh water placed on altars is a way to feed it energy; on shrines, it is a welcoming and refreshing gift.

Water is called a universal solvent because it can dissolve more substances than anything else we have discovered. Put pure water in to a spray bottle and spritz it around a room to dissolve unwanted energies and carry them away. Or, leave a bowl of water in a room overnight to absorb negative energies, and toss it out. (To create a cursing water, simply leave a jar of water in a violent and unhappy place for a night or two).

A very important attribute of water is that it is deep. Where water runs, there is always more under the surface. If the stream is clear it is easy to navigate, but be wary when the waters are dark. In small doses water may hug and heal; in large doses, it drags you down to its depths. 

When you encounter a running body of water (including fountains), make a wish. Rub your fingers against your thumb to draw the wish in to your hand. Then, touch the surface of the water to give it your wish. The water will take hold of your desires and rush them along, giving them energy and carrying them out to the world. In the case of the fountain, it will nurture your wish and keep it alive with movement.

If you are going to be in a very tiring and draining situation, draw a cloak of water around yourself. Imagine that any vitriol or slights others send to you are caught up in the water and purified.

Just the other day I was thinking of a way to cleanse the new space I will be moving in to. I wanted something quick and easy, And preferably no smoke. I wanted to bring balance, and completely clear the space of the past tenants energy. This is the recipe I came up with.

I knew Ocean Water would be awesome because of its natural cleansing properties, So I took a little drive to West Island to collect it. It’s a lovely beach that is very secluded and has a sort of “untouched” atmosphere.

I then infused the salt water with Black Tourmaline, and White Jade. Two of my favorite crystals. The Black Tourmaline is amazing at clearing negative energy of all sorts but its specialty is malevolent spirits. The white Jade purifies, and Invites positive energy for growth, and peace.

After filling the jar I added my intentions, sealed it and let it charge light of the sun, And of the Moon.

Magical Waters

Moon Water

Creating Moon Water: Put clean water into a clear container like a mason jar, but even a plastic bottle with the label removed will work, then seal the container so no contaminant and/or bugs get in it. Charge the water under the moon by leaving it outside, or at least in a place where it will get direct moonlight. Retrieve the water the next day. Doing so before the sun touches it is most optimal. We’re not making Sun Water.  Incorporating ritual important to your path is perfectly acceptable.

Uses for Moon Water: ritual cleansing and spell work, particularly involving magic and occult knowledge, dream work, and astral travel.

Sun Water

Creating Sun Water: Follow the directions for Moon Water but instead charge in sun light by placing outside when the sun rises and retrieving before the sun sets, making sure to place the container where it will be under direct sunlight for the entirety of the day.

Uses for Sun Water: Ritual cleansing and spell work, particularly involving self esteem, social anxieties, truth and revealing of lies, and enlightenment

Ocean Water

Creating Ocean Water: Collect ocean water. You can create your own ocean water by using tap water (the calcium deposits in tap water are important in recreating Ocean Water. Then add sand and sea salt. Mix the water in a mason jar or other clear container that has a lid. Shake the water and place it outside in the evening. Leave it where it will catch both direct moon and sun light. Shake the mason jar every morning and every evening and leave it outside for an entire moon phase. For many, they might find recreated Ocean Water to be less powerful/charged than the real thing but for some they might find this an adequate replacement, allowing them to utilize a material they don’t have ready access to.

Uses for Ocean Water: Spell work, particularly involving Healing, Psychic Work, and adapting to changes. 

Shadow Water

Creating Shadow Water: Place water in a container that is not clear, such as metal reusable water bottles. Then place the water in a dark area such as the back of a closet, perhaps even buried. Leave the water for about a week (or perhaps a number important to you in your path) but more than one day is important.

Uses for Shadow Water: Spell work including strengthening of lies, encouraging believability,  protection via the hiding of location, and general shrouding. These spells are often conducted in the dark.

Gutter Water

Creating Gutter Water: Not created but gathered. Collect dirty water from the street. I suppose you could create Gutter Water by placing water in a container and mixing in dirt, oil, hair, flakes of skin, tire tread, pebbles…various other nasties. You might wish to wear gloves while procuring Gutter Water.

Uses for Gutter Water: Curses. Also for before and after type spells by using the gutter water to represent current state and clean water to represent intended future state.

Praying with Water

The element of water is associated with the West. The sun also sets in the west. It’s the end of the day, a time to recognize our mortality. You begin your life in a watery womb. Your first 9 months are in water.

In religious practice, Water can be a very dominant symbol. Baptism, Ritual bathing, Holy water, the basic cleansing of oneself before stepping in front of the Lord. or Your own God/ Goddess. We know we are not pure…no where near pure enough to stand in front of God. But we find ourselves trying to be worthy. We do this by cleansing ourselves. 

For those who have gone to church…you know your mother made sure you bathed EXTRA well one those sunday mornings….its the same idea. Through water we are born. And when we die water will seep through us when we become part of the earth. We need to drink water to live. Without water we never would be alive, on many levels. 

We come to God through water probably more than the other elements. Jesus walked on water, He turned water into wine. He baptized people in the river. God and Jesus used water to cleanse you and let you start over. Wiping the slate clean. So take a moment and thank him..
