Something we Pagans don't talk about a lot is the people who convert away from paganism back to Christianity. I've seen this happen a few times, even famous public pagans. Everyone has their own reasons, but conversions force us to examine the drawbacks of our community. Disregarding predators and literal cults, there are push factors within our spaces.
One is that there are no rules or guidelines, and a steep learning curve. Yeah, there's thousands of books out there, and only a handful are wrong, but none of them are 'the right way,' which makes it difficult to even choose. Most end up studying several traditions, and they still might not find the right fit. People lose faith when they aren't getting any confirmation of their practice. A good portion of newcomer questions boil down to: "Am I doing this right?"
They might not get an answer, and this is another push factor; our sparse and disconnected communities. Most of us are only solitary because there are no Pagan groups nearby. It can be lonely, and hard to keep up during difficult times, if you don't have someone to share it with.
Fortunately, most of these converts retain our Pagan ideal that people can practice whatever religion they want, as long as they're not a dick about it. And the rare ones who go all 'fire and brimstone' are usually victims of cults or bad actors, and their anger and suffering deserves our human empathy and understanding.

Feliz Mabon! Bendiciones!!!
El equinoccio de otoño marca la fecha en la que Magos y Brujas se reúnen para agradecerle a la Tierra una temporada de cosecha abundante. A esta serie de festejos se le conoce como Mabon.
Los paganos nos reunimos en torno a una mesa atestada de comida. Tras una temporada de cosechas buena, compartimos los frutos de la tierra con la comunidad desde hace varios siglos, a lo largo de una semana.
Pre American Enlightenment, the product of societal norms, infrastructure, markets, and laws meant existence under monarchies, totalitarians and fascists was not great.
That's why the hard fork of USA: the Product was a game-changer, an experiment in real-time FAFO:

A fascinating #BBC compilation of clips from the 1960s onwards. Expect some cool #Music, fascinating traditions, #Swords, #Vikings, #Magic, #Hauntology, #Occultism, and a bit of nudity! Guest starring the #MariLwyd, and what can be best described as a ritual punch-up between two villages.
How many of these old rites remain?
Autumn Equinox, my favourite holiday. May you find your balance between giving and receiving, between work and rest, between caring for others and caring for your self. May you find your balance in the dark, may you find it in the light, may you find it in the middle. 💚🐦⬛

I received all my stuff so I had already done another part of the ritual : burning incense and cleaning my new home 🥰🥰

White Pagans / Heathens will define their religion according to its ethnicity and refer (often derogatorily) to anything outside of those bounds as "mixing," and still not understand how that's fundamentally racist.
White Pagans / Heathens will balk if you tell them that not being "folkish" is not enough to not be racist. They ask what more could they possibly do?
The answer to that is to actually embark on a spiritual path that has a point besides its ethnic origin...
Para aquell@s que dicen que los magos y Brujos son malos... pues ustedes digan que tan malos nos vemos... 😉
Tengan un gran Día Mundial del Orgullo Pagano, abrazos y bendiciones a todos en este día mundial del paganismo.

It occurs to me that the podcast series linked above (& discussed in the post I am responding to) might be a good source for any mental health professionals interested in understanding your Neo-Pagan clients.
It's rare, but I once saw a client chart with something to the effect of "says she talks with a goddess" written in the same session in which a psychiatrist increased dosage of an anti-psychotic medication. I hope that was not the reason by itself...

Please don't support Ocean Keltoi or Wolf the Red. They have a history of being abusive to other pagans/Heathens. They've ended up backstabbing most of the smaller pagan/Heathen communities that they've collaborated with.
This expose document has been circulating on Twitter for a while, but it's about time it's shared in the Fediverse. https://docs.google.com/document/d/12y-wu7BF8XPWvTVvD0uWLBolccXSq1wYHgkINK1pJxY/edit?usp=drivesdk
Please boost for visibility, we need to get the word out about these abusive pagans.

If you're interested in witchcraft through a scientific lens, you may have a good time at the Pre-Brew with the Critical Thinking Witch Collective during the autumn equinox from 4-6:30 PM EST. I've been attending their events over Zoom as much as I can since 2021 and it's always a blast.
You can register for free at: https://criticalthinkingwitches.com/events/
Also scroll down to check out the Crit Witch Con event. Tickets can be purchased and there are also scholarships if needed!
Since there's a lot of interesting cultural and religious variations present here, I'm curious: which holiday do you celebrate at the end of October/early November?
I'd also love to hear *how* you celebrate, if you choose to share!

These people that talk about how to "use" a deity in your craft. Don't know if they amuse me or make me angry.
How do you think about that?
Random Inquiry: I know a lot of communities are growing and flourishing in the Fediverse by now, including the Pagan side, but how are things going so far for our *non-theistic pagan* friends?
We tend to get ignored within pagan communities so how do things seem round these parts of the woods for you all?

Recently did some work on this alternate altar that lives in our bedroom.
Some bones foraged from our land, some foraged back in Michigan by an old friend. The human teeth belong to the same friend (one of their baby teeth & wisdom teeth, given as a gift).
The altar in our public space is a really wonderful artistic display, a story of us, blending a lot of cultural elements that we share and some that we only share because we're sharing a life together. It's full of offerings to this land, but also pulled tarot cards, sculptures, gifts from friends, palo santo & copal incense, stones and offering plates from my side of the family. Bundled pine, bundled sage, and blessed rosemary. It's public, interactive, and beautiful.
This altar, though, is very personal. Some elements have been in my possession for years, before I began this journey into spiritual practice, before I knew what their purpose was (or my own). Some elements have been added over time: the fossilized lizard tail and heart, for example, I found after opening the first studio I had on this land. The rat femurs I also found on the land, while cleaning trash when we first moved in, and all of these little things that have found me I've felt compelled to venerate and offer back to the space. The display in our living space is public: it invites guests to add to it, and sometimes they leave offerings for us there, too. But this space is in our private area, and it feels like it contains little secret pieces of us and the land. Things that people only really see if they spend enough time here to become privy to them.
To me this parallels the reality of working with such a space: many people come and enjoy the superficial aesthetic beauty of the land and the home, for a time. But they don't truly understand what it is we're doing here, or what it really means to be here. They have respect, but lack full awareness and veneration. But there are some who know what this land means just by virtue of having been here -- some needed to come often to feel it, some stepped foot on it and knew instantly that it was special. But that kind of awareness isn't common, and it's something that we hold very dear. We keep very close to us those who share our recognition of this space as liminal, as straddling time and place, of its constantly repeated history, playing out over and over each moment, and the responsibility we have to honor the spirits that exist here.

The Orphic Hymns are fascinating because obscure daimons are often elevated to a much higher status than in more "mainstream" sources. For example, they credit the Nereids (sea nymphs) as being the first ones to reveal rituals sacred to the Orphics involving Persephone, Bacchus, Apollo, and Kalliope.

This is a great time of year to ID trees in my region, since they still have their leaves but also seeds or berries, which are sometimes key in identification. I started keeping a list of all the plant species I find in my local area when I did my druid studies in 2016. Near the end of summer, I hike around and try to add a couple more trees each year. For me, this is a religious activity, but it's also very scientific, because I keep records of where and when I find things.
I've often thought that there is a lot of overlap between environmental science and paganism. Like, I think any environmental scientist could call themselves a pagan if they wanted, because their study of the earth makes them closer to it. They have an inherent respect and honor for the natural world, and I consider this a core tenet of #Paganism.
The Biggest problem in the human history: #Religion
All of them, have small details that are useful for all.
All of them, point to what they cannot control,
while they are the ones which define the desire of the creator,
Since the creator already define what each would be in His creation,
That assume all irregularities that each human being can be.
And for that we are already blessed, don't need to say it again!
- God Bless You.
- He did, that is the reason I am here, like you. You are already blessed, so you don't need to define what the creator already defined to everyone, including all animals and the planet it self. All of them are blessed !!!!

https://art.odicforcesounds.com/pages/Data/Audio/Eternal_Delay/tracks/02_Organic_Fields/index.html
-
The problem is not in the probability of God existence, but in the ability to understand events that touch human sensibilities, where they point to a moral / ethic behavior as a "sugested", to know how to makes simple choices that any human can have in their life experience, since that is the main problem of human irregularities associated to their own behaviors. To talk about God without talking about humanity it would be absurd. Now that I already talk about the importance of behaviors, where stories try to teach some values that "touch human sensibilities", that are part of what any "normal" non-irracional living being, should be in the process on how to behave with others. All religion books talk about this kind of "problems", and the problem is not in the teachments they share, but in the need to consume compulsively the same content.
-
You know, you can see this behavior in all kind of subject. #Science.. scientists have different interpretations between all, but when it touch the "subject" that they have more control ( they know a lot ), they behave emotionaly agressive. Not all, but can happen, which could mean that, that scientist men/woman, fall in love with that subject.
The same for futebal fans or players. We know by the news, fans are agressive to each others in the condition that denies their belief that are associated to their club.
The same for #politics. When discusting politics, people change their own way of talking, just to "defend" what they fall in love.
-
The subjective data that points to the teachments, is the lesson we can extract from each book, but as we can see, the majority of persons that fall in love with their own religion, try to create what their religion points in reality, which is "stupid" because religion books care to teach each individual by their own time and ways. So in this aspect, God is super angry with humanity that impose their will to many others, by the same condition of those who love to any subject, which is to spread it and to see in reality the content of any of those books as the expression of others, as a concept proof..
-
All groups who consume their loved book in a compulsive way, they feel that, the description of their sacred book, must exist in reality, or else, they get insane or mad, violent, etc, because reality is NOT what the books try to point to. #psychology at it's worst.
-
Is this aspect, we can see examples like Hinduism that have a strong religiousity, and therefor they could feel offended by something that denies Hinduism, which is in some principles, the "first" religion group who did develop knowledge that aims to care others bodies and minds. Even with this good principles, they have terrible ones. I like to pick the best and leave the worst behind! Maybe Daoism was the "first" since it is older that Hinduism I believe, but those times are "clean". Even #China don't know about their own history in that aspects, associated to Tai Chi, Qi Gong and many other knowledge of simplicity in our reality. ;) In any case, it doesn't matter what is the "first" but the main intention to create a healthier community.
-
Then we have a Abrahamic Religions that where the ones, like the Nordic #Paganism, which wish to compete between all others, to demonstrate who is the best and where is the absolute truth. All of them develop #violence at all level of society. Their main intention is not to produce the "paradise" in reality, but punish those who deny them. Today, only one (Christianity) did change for good, while there is one that become even worst, where all their community have the obligation to know the sacred book in a very hard way. (they are bad even with their own) Which means they didn't learn the meaning of Respect. Sadly!
-
They are the danger, not their religion. Because, again. Is about how deeper we ambrace the content we read, not about the content, not even about the person. "Love can have this little issues"
-
When we fall in love with a woman, we see that we have the ability to make her happy, while anything that can remove her that happiness can be a reason to show our animality against the one's that break her happiness. By the same condition, but without a 3 person interference, if she is sad, we suffer for that.
-
As you can see, even in love relationships, there is pain included, even when we are doing the best to care, while everything that denies is the representation of the "danger".
-
With or without our will, God exist, even if humanity disapear, God still exist. So, what is the point to obligate others to be in some religion, if any men or woman that talks alone, he/she is talking with God?
-
Curiosity: In the Qu'ran book, violence is only declared as something that is necessary, when their own religiosity is forbidden. And all other "killing messages" are in fact, way to say "kill in the heart", so you don't feel the need to be with them, not to kill them in reality, but you know, they fall in love with that book and they consume it compulsively, so they need to see the content of that book, as an expression of reality. Anyway, if you think, all other religion groups had the same behavior when their own religiosity was "in risk", by some other group who deny their religiousity freedom. This is "stupid" because the existence of others #style in their own religiosity doesn't deny other style. Competition is healthier for the self only, not to any body else, within the relation of the self.
-
You know, #God gave me a #mission that have a Eternal License, and I share that license to all of you. I really hope you like it as much as I do! :D
-
The beauty of history is that countries were built to create the "house" of the group who feel safe within the ways they treat each others. #Tribal and #indigenous is more common than you think, but in any case, when everyone feel safe at "home" they start leaving their "home" which is the perspective of that community evolution is "strange" while to all other communities, is "another person that is not the same of 'us'", which create the first problem of discrimination, because a new culture is trying to be free outside the territorry that was made for them, so they can feel freedom inside their own. With muli-culturalism, we deny our history. So the "problem" can start again.

The left-hand path is often misunderstood and misrepresented. In this video, Dr Puca explores its four biggest misconceptions:
1. Is it dark magic?
2. Is it only for Satanists?
3. Is it all about the self?
4. Is it dangerous?
She also explains what the left-hand path really is and why it's a valid and powerful spiritual path for those who are drawn to it.

I'm trying to suss something out, maybe some other folks from #deutschland or more involved in #paganism could help me understand.
I was in a club off the Reeperbahn on Friday and a dude came in and we danced near each other until I noticed that he had a pendant on a necklace that I'm quite sure was a Sonnenrad / Black Sun. I didn't really get Nazi vibes from him, especially since he was using a wheelchair and was dancing / and chatting with our group, which was composed of a trans Jewish person, and people who are Kurdish, Palestinian, Mexican, and Filipina. Not exactly in a friendly neighborhood for fash, not hanging out with people the fash associate with...
Researching the Sonnenrad Symbol, though, it seems pretty exclusively tied with literal Nazi stuff. As opposed to, say, Thor's Hammer which could be a #heathen symbol or a white supremacy thing.
I almost asked him about it but decided instead to bail.
Am I mistaken here? How do we navigate the use of fascist-adjacent symbolism?
Does your spiritual/religious practice bring you joy and improve your life overall?
Bonus Question: Which religion/spiritual practice do you follow? Please comment your answer.

The terms "hard" and "soft" polytheism are relatively new in paganism. Scholars of ancient polytheism started using the terms in the early 2000s to differentiate these large disparities in ancient belief systems that before were lumped together. Naturally, pagans follow academics, and I believe it was Greer from ADF that first popularized the terms in modern paganism.
These words were meant to be a quick summation of how you see the gods, just a general idea. Instead of having to write out a whole essay on how you specifically think of the gods as beings, you could just slap this handy label on it.
They are not meant to be diametrically opposed, and therefore constantly debated.
They are not meant to be an entire identity.
You are not meant to choose either/or, it is a spectrum, and you might only lean one way.
Our labels are just simple, quick ways to connect with others. Because modern polytheists are so widely diverse, we have these little phrases we use to more easily talk to each other, no more than that.
Pagans of all types and stripes are welcome to follow and interact with me, so long as they're not some kind of bigot: Polytheistic pagans, monotheistic/duotheistic pagans, henotheistic pagans, atheist pagans, etc. all have a place at my feast table.
I also welcome folks who identify outside of the pagan umbrella! Interfaith solidarity is huge for me, especially in times like these. It's often through interfaith dialogue that we all realize that we share more similarities than differences, even if we hold those differences to be quite important. But, at the end of the day, we're all just people out searching for answers on a quest for Truth.

I guess now that I'm figuring out this platform I should do an #introduction
I'm a #pagan #witch and #druid who just married my husband, @CaptainSharky, late last year. We also have two rescue #cats. My pronouns are she/her and I have a #history degree and work as a substitute teacher. I'm also a #barbershop #chorus singer (though I'm on break from that right now) and a #501st volunteer costumer.
My spouse and I regularly attend conventions and enjoy #anime #cosplay #videogames #gaming #boardgames #dnd #jeeping #hiking and #zumba. I also enjoy #manhwa #manga #reading #curlyhair care and #weightlifting. I'm also a #furry!
I consider myself a #gaulishpolytheist, French-American Folk Practitioner, and #cottagewitch. I'm an #AODA (Ancient Order of Druids in America) Candidate, a #GCC (Gnostic Celtic Church) Novitiate, and an #ADFdruidry (A Druid Fellowship) member.

While I'm waiting for my follows to finish importing, I thought I'd do an #introduction for this new instance.
Hello, everyone! I'm a cisgender, #bisexual woman who works in a tech-adjacent field. I do web content writing/editing for nonprofits and I'm trying to learn more about #accessibility.
I'm also still #CovidCautious and tend to post about that, as well as #LGBTQ and #queer issues, especially related to #ComingOutAsAnAdult, and about #ClimateChange and #AntiCapitalism. I enjoy #vegan #cooking and #baking and #hiking as well as #music, and I'm learning more about #SlavicPaganism and #paganism in general.
I'm excited to get to know you all. Please feel free to say hi!

"Dawn of the new pagans: ‘Everybody’s welcome – as long as you keep your clothes on!’"
A reminder that #Beltane is but a few days away. Time to celebrate the coming of summer with a good burning.
Modern #paganism is a broad church (sic), ranging from yoghurt-knitting Wiccans on the one hand, to anti-religious, pro-science psychonauts like me.
22nd April, Today we commemorate the last British #Pagan King, and last king of the #IsleOfWight Arwald.
On this day in 686, Cædwalla, King of Wessex invaded the #Jutish kingdom of Wihtwara, the land of Whit [ ᚹᛁᚻᛏ ] (Spirits / Supernatural Beings).
Arwald had sent his two son to his kinsfolk, the Meonwara to keep them safe.
Due to their superior size, the army of Cædwalla were victorious. However, not without many casualties. #Folklore says that Arwald dealt Cædwalla a near fatal wound that never healed and would ultimately take his life many years later. The story says, that the last curse, uttered using the last of the old magic was from Arwald's lips as he struck Cædwalla.
After the battle, Cædwalla sent his men the commit genocide on the island. A memory that still runs deep on the Island, even to this day.
The two princes were also betrayed after they had been forced to convert to #christianity -- Cædwalla had them killed.
This is not the of the story, the sister of Arwald was the wife of the King of #Kent and was the great great great Grandmother of #AlfredTheGreat. One could argue, the line of Wiht is behind the whole of the British royal family.
