[shadowhive]

Prompt 6: Indigo
Indigo is a rich color that is associated with a variety of things including: magic, experience, truth, dignity, virtue, dreams, profanity, inferiority, imagination, luxury, wisdom, spirit, destiny, elegance, intuition.

The world is full of magic things,
patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper —W.B. Yeats

What magic have you experienced in your life? Have you come to appreciate it differently as you grow older? What experiences have brought you wisdom?

I’ll be honest, nothing immediately came to mind for indigo. It’s always been the odd one out of the rainbow song colours I feel. All the others are distinct, whereas indigo is just... dark blue to me.

So instead of talking about the colour itself I’ll talk about the side about magic.

I think everyone at some point has had an interest in magic, be it from a book or film or show. Stuff like Merlin, Harry Potter, the worst witch are just a few things I remember watching. I’d like to believe that there is real magic in the world, but the world right now is kinda a mess.

I’ve ended a poly relationship with two witches, so I’m gonna try and learn something about that. (Milo is setting up a witches school discord so I hope that will, help). I’m not sure on my path or anything, but I guess that’s something I’ll find out as we go.

***

Last night I was going to watch the next Umbrella Academy But instead I ended up shutting down which was... annoying. Depression is a bitch.

Mum also fell yesterday, while we were out with the pup. She was ok, managing to brace herself, but it still shook her up. She hasn’t had a sudden fall in awhile which is good but it just highlights why I don’t want her in the garden when I’m upstairs or not around.

I’ve downloaded a few of the summer game fest game demos from the Xbox, so I’m gonna try and go on them. And ooblets, since I got it Monday,

I have a few friends who are witches and it is endlessly fascinating for me to learn about, so I hope you enjoy the process regardless of where you fall on the spectrum of inner magic.

Also sorry to hear about your mum; parents and aging are tough things to experience for most folks. She is lucky to have you around, it sounds like!

[shadowhive]

Yeah it really seems so interesting 🖤 thanks

She has a tendency to randomly fall sometimes, but she hasn’t for awhile. I’m just glad it didn’t do much damage. Awww thanks!

Depression is indeed a bitch.

Re: 🤍

[shadowhive]

It really is *beats it with a stick*

Re: 🤍

[oldtoadwoman]

It's extra sucky because when I most need to take action, I have the least energy to do anything.

When I most need the support of friends, I am most prone to retreating into my cave.

And there is no nuance. Everything is "the worst".

Re: 🤍

[shadowhive]

Yeah same here, it sucks

*hugs you* yeah exactly

[yarnofariadne]

I hope learning about magic is fulfilling for you! My own relationship with witchcraft is super personally specific so I don't have any like, general advice or wisdom or anything. But I hope it's a good experience for you.

I hope your mum's okay. And depression is indeed the worst. I hope things look brighter soon. ♥

[shadowhive]

Thanks! I hope so too💜 yeah I’ve heard it is that way. I’m hoping this gives me a place to like start, because it seems overwhelming at times

Aww yeah she’s oki thankfully. And yeah it’s so annoying. It comes and goes so it’s oki now

[silveradept]

I hope your magical journey is frituful and full of people who have wisdom to offer and are willing to do so. (I have a similar fascination, but I haven't yet found a spark that says "this way is the way you want to go" yet.)

[shadowhive]

Thank you! I hope so too. The plan is to start it Monday and with my sweet boy running it I’m sure I’ll learn things at least

[tippetariuswrites]

I had the same problem with indigo. It's very pretty, but it also feels more like dark blue with some purple in it, not a separate color of its own.

Ugh, falls. I worry about that more and more as my parents get older, and they don't live close by. Glad your mom is okay!

[shadowhive]

Yeah exactly! And my bit about blue I felt covered dark blue too

Yeah same here, especially since she’s prone to it. She is thankfully! Though she needs to rest more

[turps]

Indigo is a weird colour, nice enough but really doesn't signify anything for me.

I hope you enjoy your journey into magic and much love for you for the depression hitting once again.

[shadowhive]

Yeah exactly

Awww thanks, I hope so! You’re so sweet🖤
