  1. Ended up ordering another Goddess statue, this one's Kali. My altar might end up getting spread across two rooms. (tight fit, not vastness of the altar)

  2. Expanding my thoughts on Christianity's theft of who we are, its insidious nature.

    You are not its worshipers, you are its victims.

    -----

    Christianity has stolen who we truly are.

    In the name of their supposedly loving god, they enslaved and murdered our ancestors. They co-opted our sacred days and our sacred spaces. And they erased our goddesses and our gods, brainwashing later generations who have bought the lie that the Christianity is our heritage.

    But… it never was. It never has been.

  3. Ppl are like "get rid of religion bc patriarchy" and I'm like "religion doesn't mean judeochristian only, Susan."

    Fk, my personal pantheon is Selene/Selune, Lilith, Pikovaya Dama, and Hecate among others. I'm pretty sure the only patriarchy stuffs we're doing together is burning it down.

  4. Friends,

    It is strange to get a snippet of insight or some small foretelling or a casual cledon regarding current events far beyond ones own scope. Yet when we have been looking at the world around us through lenses such as the acrostic eye & intersectionality for so many years then come they will & you learn to get used to it.

    Whether or not the Democrats do cravenly end the current Government shut down without concrete concessions from the Republicans, I fear that the lesson that the powers that be will learn is that threatening the most vulnerable & SNAP will get them what they want, or closer to it. This isn’t entirely by happenstance. The people who preach whether from pulpit or podium or podcast mic or of the glories of greed & power-over very much want this to be the situation. By removing anything resembling affordable health-care, by working to ramp up food insecurity in the US & around the world, by sowing every form of division they can within society & culture, the authoritarians in power & their allies seek to keep those they wish to subjugate weak & disorganized & struggling to survive.

    All so that people will not come together.

    We as individuals can feel overwhelmed & helpless in the face of such sweeping events. The powers that be count on that. As individuals we often struggle. Communities, however, solve problems & survive & sometimes thrive in the face of sweeping events & authoritarian aspirations.

    Two of the main fronts in which battle for control of our age are being fought currently are Food Insecurity & Healthcare/Health Insecurity.

    So what can WE do?

    Which of the two fronts is calling to you the strongest in the current moment? What skills or experiences can you bring to the work? Start looking at what is being done around these issues in your area. What 501c3 charities or mutual-aid groups are working on them? Are any of these projects you could lend a hand or a few dollars to? Are you called to work with any of them? Are you moved to create something new? Who might your allies (either individuals, groups, or organizations) in this work be?

    A month ago when I started looking at the persistence of hunger and food insecurity where I live I was both appalled & inspired. Appalled at how large the problem appeared to be. Inspired by the number & variety of groups both formal & informal who were fighting the good fight. Now I am taking baby steps towards greater involvement in my local community.

    “The journey of ten-thousand miles begins with a step” as the saying goes.

    Bliss & Blessed Be,
    Pax / Geoffrey

  10. Are you #pagan or curious? Inclusive Minoan spirituality might be your groove! Open to all, it's a #polytheist #animist spiritual path that embraces diversity and respects the Earth. I've written four books about inclusive Minoan spirituality that might ring your chimes.

  11. As an author and artist, I'm a small business trying to make my way in the crowded marketplace. Once a week I share one of my creations with you. Maybe one of them will ring your chimes. Up this week: Labrys & Horns, the how-to guide for inclusive Minoan spirituality. Meet the deities, set up an altar, invite their energies into your life, do some sacred crafts and other fun stuff. Ariadne, Dionysus, Rhea, the Minotaur, Therasia and so many others await you...

  13. Hail Freya, it's Friday! Here's the #FridayPaganPoll:

    I've met lots of Pagans that have learned a new craft, language, or musical instrument as part of their spiritual studies, or as a devotional to their gods, and I'm wondering how common this is.

    Have you learned a new skill as part of your Pagan practice?

  14. Tonight I am cooking my much-beloved cafeteria-style mac and cheese for a potluck I won't be attending for an extended family that won't talk to me because I'm a #polytheist.

  15. Minoan spirituality is for everyone! Get to know the Minoan deities (Ariadne, Dionysus, the Serpent Mother, the Minotaur and more) and discover the Ariadne's Tribe sacred calendar and ritual format. This book is your all-in-one starter kit for inclusive Minoan spirituality.

  16. It's Freyasday! Here's your #FridayPaganPoll for this week:

    Do you pray?

    (For the purposes of this poll, a prayer is a spoken/thought plea or expression of gratitude toward a diety.)

    #Pagan #Witch #Polytheist

  17. Hail Freya! Here's my 89th #FridayPaganPoll!

    I consider there to be 4 broad categories of Pagans:

    *Witch- Eclectic, Wicca, Wheel of the Year, folk magick, god-worship is optional.
    *Polytheist- Devotional, religious studies, deity and pantheon worship, prayers and offerings, magick is optional.
    *Occultist- Thelema, alchemy, ceremonial magick, trances, summonings, experiments.
    *Animist- Nature-worship, seasonal celebration, meditation, spending time outdoors, minimal magick or god-worship.

    For this poll, I'm asking, which do you lean most towards? I know, I know, it's difficult, but if you had to pick just one?

  18. CW: Pagan Theology

    I'm rereading the Hermetica and like, damn. 🤯 I was originally put off by the monotheism and christian influences, but I'm getting a lot out of applying the theology to my particular polytheist worldview.

    Today's revelations:
    The Gods are Light, which is illumination, or knowing, or sentience. And they are Life, which is an essential force that keeps the universe moving, like gravity and matter.

    We humans are made in that image. We can know, and we can move through time and grow.

    Love is the collection and connection of parts that creates Life. When we feel Love, it is because we see the divinity in a thing and it connects to our divinity. A sunset is awe-inspiring because it is a manifestation of a God. We fall in love with other beings because we recognize the Gods in them.

  19. Hail Freya, it's Friday!
    For today's #FridayPaganPoll I'm curious about your Pagan ecstatic experiences. And I'd love to hear any stories, if you have them.

    Have you ever had an ecstatic experience?

    For this poll, let's define it as "an altered state of consciousness characterized by a reduced external awareness and a greatly expanded inner awareness, which does or does not include visions and physical/emotional euphoria."

  26. I'm working on my art practice right now. I have shared this in a few other places, but I'll start by sharing some older art. This is my interpretation of Heru-ur, a.k.a. Haroeris or Horus the Elder, from several years ago.

  31. Greetings.

    Here's a little #introduction. I want to stay connected, but I'm getting sick of ads, algorithms, and other hazards of more conventional social media, so I'm trying out Mastodon.

    I was born in the early 80s. I have lived in the US states of #Louisiana, #Georgia, and #Kentucky. I have a bachelor's degree in English.

    I'm a #pagan, #polytheist, and #animist devoted primarily to a few Greek and Egyptian deities. I'm a #Dionysian. My practice includes daily #meditation, devotional activities to various deities and spirits, finding modern ways to celebrate ancient holidays, and ancestor work, among other things.

    I also enjoy #drawing, #painting, #flowarts, #hiking, #reading, #writing, watching #movies, and #gaming in my spare time.

    Some other interests include #animation, #anthropology, #buddhism, #divination, #folklore, #history, #linguistics, #literature, #music, #mythology, #psychology, #puppetry, #religion, and #theatre.

Evil is inherent in the nonexistent and hence is older than the gods and present in the world from the beginning. The gods cannot be made responsible for it, but are the very powers that combat evil and continually drive it out from the existent world.”
