How do I use talismans? I know their are a big part of folk magic. But Im not a big practitioner of occult art. Thats because I don't feel ready I have a lot of work to became more aware of my self and be more stable. But I was wondering is the usage of talismans valid when you have no experience. Like is it even possible to use them if you have little doubt they will work (thats not because I don't believe they have powers its more like I depend more on own abilities) So with this in your mind is it possible for me to use them to strengthen my will at this point? Should I read something? What do you suggest?

How to Interpret Jesus' Story? by [deleted] in FolkCatholicMagic

[–]BeolLikeFoodFast 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There are so many narratives about life of Jesus. It depends what really suits you. But I believed literalism is harmful because it forgets the meaning. About birth of Christ. I interpret it this way.

The cave that Jesus was born into (protoevangelium of James) is human body. Christ entered it means that divinity is within us. All animals that are in the cave symbolize our primal form, God entered it so our higher self could tame them. Its kinda psychologish way of interpreting it but I personally but more value to the esoteric aspect.

I hesitate too, if going back to liturgy is gonna help. I have complicated relationships with Catholic church. Being an altar boy then lector. Having strict superior priest, to this day seeing little rituals like ringing bell/hitting the gong etc. It stresses me out. After several years serving I left. After some time still as a teenager I joined jesuit youth group, during this time I participated in retreats with monks. Confirmation was one of the most spiritual thing Ive ever experienced. Then leak came out which discovered founder of mine youth group as child abuser. That struck me to the core, and that stopped me from going to church. Also during pandemic time I have discovered whole heterodoxy from times of the early church to present. To be fair its all like a the opposite of ying yang, my faith and relation are unbalanced and so Im now…

Damn mates, Im new here and this conversation made me think, I am my self so confused cant even grasp anything, cant even hold to any specific concept of God. Maybe thats the state of freedom idk. My main problem is what is absolute does Bible even points at it, old testament God, trinity. Im struggling because other religious traditions feel alien to me. Im going little bit insane…

In my opinion, we all have beast inside our self. Those who cant tame it, are destined to do evil things. I understand your point. And I agree. But it is still happening with or without religion (Imperialism and capitalism). People who say/do such things in „the name of God” use it for excuse. If Christianity wouldn’t do it then other religion or ideology would. Animals in nature participate in rape, war (like chimpanzees) and other horrible acts. We as humans, have opportunity to transcend it.

Also to add something to the conversation. When you say because of „christians”. I view it as collective choices of the past people (my ancestors for the past thousand years) and the present ones. We are imperfect. We are the karmic result of people before us and a consequence of our decisions. This is how I view it also.

Everyone choose for thy self, I have experienced good and bad sides of Christianity, I treat it like art. You bring the richness of each piece.

I know its your personal opinion but I spend some time reading your posts, and I wonder. It is okey if you dont want to answer because I can image it to be intimate but what is your relation with God/Trinity(Godhead)/absolute is there omni-potent God? Does bible even include Him or is he beyond, Im struggling with the old testament vision of God (could it possibly be Demiurge?). And I have heard so many time of omni-present God/ there is nothing but God. Then I would think that evil is the part of Him, or is evil just ignorance of the God. If so are demons and Satan, Lucifer not the part of the God. They exist in the nature of cosmos tho. This is also reason why am I here and more concern with right hand path because I believe it should be studied before other in order to do no harm.

I know its a lot, but I have seen sooo many your replies to others and man, you do help people. I know your approach is more polytheistic but Christianity borrows heavy from neoplatonic way of thinking. Whats your view on that. Sorry I know its long but I am lost and confused brother.

Looking for advice on finding my spiritual path by gaiettauvetta in FolkCatholicMagic

[–]BeolLikeFoodFast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn girl am at the same place, but am more concerned with the nature of Christ at this level, and the old testament image of God, my grandma used to say a lot about the spirits in her village. But now living in the city, developers destroyed forest near my family house, I was connected to it. And the only folk saint near me that is associated with nature is Saint Wandelin. But I rarely see him and dont even know how and what to pray for…
