Gurhan Kiziloz and the Problem With Endless Crypto Announcements. AI-Generated.
I’ve reached the point where even typing the name Gurhan Kiziloz feels like déjà vu. Another day, another announcement, another promise that something big is just around the corner.

The Sacred Art of Commanding the Divine. Content Warning.
Thrones, Temples, and the Architecture of Sacred Power Religious witches, frequently identified within historical records as ceremonial witches, occupy a layered and often misrepresented position within the spiritual development of Western and Near Eastern traditions. Ceremonial witchcraft arose from environments shaped by literacy, theology, philosophy, and institutional religion rather than exclusively from village survival practices or oral folk medicine. Temples, monastic scriptoria, royal courts, scholarly academies, and esoteric fraternities served as incubators for ritual systems that required formal education, linguistic precision, and theological fluency. Sacred alphabets, mathematical symbolism, planetary correspondences, angelic hierarchies, consecrated tools, and carefully calculated ritual timing formed a structured framework through which ceremonial practitioners attempted contact with divine or intermediary intelligences.

PCOS. Does it really come with being a girl?
What is it? well Im sure you are well aware if you are reading this so I will not waste time explaining that. I have been dealing with this mysterious illness for the past three years and it became debilitating in the last year. To a point I couldn't even walk without feeling so exhausted I might faint. It was an electric shock that would take over my entire body and make me have this need for food. It was honestly the weirdest thing. It also hurt. It really hurt, i couldn't breathe and felt like I was having a seizure or something. The ones who get it get it.
