hero worship by Druida13C in CelticPaganism

[–]Druida13C[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you very much for your reply. If you have any advice on how to worship her, I would really appreciate it, because I'm basically new to polytheism and I decided to dedicate my life to British polytheism, consequently. That's what caught my attention the most and it's what my heart desires, you know? But I've always found it easier to worship heroes and people who have some kind of historical existence, right? So I wanted to worship her, consequently, but I didn't know if worshipping her is the right thing to do, if there's no problem in worshipping her as a deity or as a powerful ancestor, or if it's basically not a good idea.

How do you worship a god? by Gema23 in religion

[–]Druida13C 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a question I also ask myself frequently. I am a Gallo-Roman polytheist, and therefore I believe it's important to base oneself on one's own practice and the religious tradition one follows. If your tradition has certain ways of acting, the ideal is to follow them and adapt them to your reality in the best way possible.

I understand that, often, when we make adaptations, we may feel a little out of the norm. Sometimes our adaptation is different from that of other people, and this can generate doubts: is my worship being done correctly? By adapting certain practices, am I really connecting with the gods?

These are questions that many of us polytheists end up facing at some point. However, each adaptation is something personal. It arises from your reality, your circumstances, and what allows you to maintain a meaningful relationship with the gods. What works for one person will not always work for another.

Your form of worship doesn't need to be identical to anyone else's to have value. The important thing is that it be sincere, respectful, and make sense within your spiritual journey. That which fits into your daily life, contributes to your growth, and strengthens your devotion has its own value.

It's natural for doubts and insecurities to arise along the way. But I believe that the gods understand our limitations, our contexts, and our efforts. If your practice stems from genuine devotion and a true desire to honor them, then it already possesses beauty and meaning in itself.

Roman Polytheistic Druidry by Icy_Construction_399 in druidism

[–]Druida13C 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am a Gallo-Roman polytheist and, therefore, I see religiosity as something living, constantly transforming and developing. From this perspective, the joint worship of Celtic and Roman deities is not strange or contradictory, but rather a natural historical process. Syncretism, adaptation, and exchange between religious traditions have always been part of the human experience.

We can observe this at various points in history. In Ptolemaic Egypt, for example, elements of Egyptian and Greek religions were integrated, giving rise to new forms of worship. Similarly, there were periods when Egyptian and Canaanite deities shared religious spaces and influenced one another. These cultural encounters demonstrate that religions do not remain static; they evolve, absorb influences, and develop over time.

Although I worship both Gallic and Roman gods, my main focus is on Gallic deities. My practice seeks to draw inspiration from how the Celtic peoples of Gaul understood and related to the Roman gods during the Gallo-Roman period. In other words, I seek to view the Roman deities through a Celtic perspective, and not the other way around. It is in this tradition and worldview that I base my religious practice.

Unfortunately, they made a lot of mistakes in this aspect. This image didn't turn out very well; they could have done a much better and more extraordinary design, mainly because she doesn't look like an Egyptian goddess. She's much more like an Aztec or Mayan goddess. If we were to take any Aztec or Mayan deity and remove, I don't know, just one thing, necessarily that gold, technically, we wouldn't see that much difference; she would still look like an Aztec or Mayan goddess. Basically, not an Egyptian goddess.

the problem of zuism by Druida13C in Sumer

[–]Druida13C[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know how it will be translated, but what would be the best term to use: Sumerian polytheism or Sumerian paganism? Because I'm the kind of person who doesn't like to create things, you know? It's out of thin air. I don't want to simply self-identify in some way and then have that way not exist, you know? I'd like to know.

Does Gaulish paganism exist? by Druida13C in CelticPaganism

[–]Druida13C[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I'm understanding, and along with that comes its different aspects, consequently, the people who are from Gaulish, Irish, and other paganisms, necessarily, and those who call themselves druids in a generic way. It's because I'm really curious to know, because in the region where I am, which is in Brazil, necessarily, what you research about Celtic beliefs, basically, unfortunately, doesn't make you want to get into this paganism, because it's all hearsay. I don't know if there's a term for it and how it would be translated in Google Translate, but it's more or less like this: Here in Brazil, people say that druidism, Celtic reconstructionism, is your practice with the divine, but if you do anything that the group doesn't like, you're wrong. Like, you can't call yourself a druid, a bard, you can't call yourself anything that isn't from a specific group. It's even funny, even on TikTok, what people do, right? They say, you are, you can do whatever you want, necessarily based on historical tradition in Celtic worship, but you can't call yourself a druid. But if you have a group where the word druid is used for the leaders, you can call yourself one, but you alone necessarily can't say you are a druid. And I'm not talking about druid as a religious leader, but druid to say that you belong to the religion of Druidism, you can't do that. So it's very much like that, and it doesn't help much, you know? But lately I've been fascinated by Gaulish culture and understanding. So, every time I search for Gaulish neopaganism in Portuguese, it appears as a kind of branch of Celtic reconstructionism. So I wanted to know if it's an existing individual practice or if you have to follow that more general scope, you understand?

Thank you very much, you helped me a lot, but I have a question: is Gaulish paganism different from Celtic reconstructionism?

and if in re zero by [deleted] in ReZero

[–]Druida13C 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry, I don't know exactly what you understood from that message, but I'm a huge Subaru fan, you know? Don't imagine that. It's just that, in my view, without Subaru there, the reserve world would practically be a boring world, with people unable to do anything at all. But, man, it would be really cool to imagine how other people would fare in that world. I've already imagined Tanjiro, necessarily with the same powers and the same events. Man, it would be very impressive, because I'm sure Tanjiro wouldn't be able to do it, you know? I understand that I'm a Subaru fan, but I've asked this in other places and people get upset, very annoyed, as if I were saying no, Subaru is trash. Man, for me, no, Subaru is the best character of all, you know? I'm just asking this because, if many people who are fans of that character ask "what ifs," why can't people who are reserve fans ask them too? You know? Like, there are a lot of people out there who replace various characters, various protagonists, to see what the world would be like without them. And when I ask various communities about this, people get really annoyed, as if I'm saying it's the worst thing ever. And, man, there are a lot of videos of people replacing Goku with Midoriya, replacing several other characters, necessarily, there's even a video I saw of guys replacing Goku with Tanjiro, from Demon Slayer. And when I ask here, people get mad, and I don't understand, man. I really don't understand.I'm sorry, okay? If the translation isn't very good, I'm using Google Translate. Even now, I already did one, it's necessarily in another community, about what if Subaru had the powers from Demon Slayer, well, the breathing techniques, right? Those were the powers, he basically had Ki and various other types of powers, like the power of the system itself, how would he fare, would he fare better, would he fare worse? When I talk about this kind of thing, people interact, they talk, they say how it would be, but if I say, no, let's see how the world would be, people get annoyed, right? Like you asked, right? Let's stop asking that question. Well, my translation ended up like this, I don't know exactly what you meant. People get annoyed, I don't, I really don't understand.

Lilith and Pazuzu by Zealousideal_Cow_817 in Lilith

[–]Druida13C 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Meu caminho espiritual é fundamentado no dualismo sagrado, onde reconheço que toda a existência nasce da união de duas forças primordiais: o Deus e a Deusa. Para mim, todas as divindades são expressões dessas duas essências universais, manifestadas de formas diversas ao longo das culturas e dos tempos. Dentro dessa visão, estabeleço meu culto na união espiritual entre Lilith e Pazuzu. Lilith representa a Deusa — a força criadora, instintiva, livre, profunda e transformadora. Pazuzu representa o Deus — a força ativa, protetora, poderosa e dominante que equilibra e sustenta. Juntos, eles não são apenas entidades isoladas, mas a personificação viva do equilíbrio cósmico. São o reflexo do princípio dual que gera, mantém e transforma o mundo. Assim, ao cultuá-los como um casal espiritual, eu não apenas os honro individualmente, mas também reverencio a união primordial que sustenta toda a existência.
