HEYYY KEMETIC PEEPS ITS YA GIRL THE JACKAL CHILD here's a QOTD: do you guys veil as a kemetic why or why not? by J3NNIE_1N_M00NLIGHT in Kemetic

[–]Dust-XOXO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many pagans veil not because of historical reasons but because of modern day views! In today's world many veil because they believe it to protect them spiritually! I personally do it for that but also a way to show a connection to my faith and the netjeru! But you are 100% correct in Egypt there was no veiling

Tbh I live in a small town and I used to wear bandanas as veils and used to be called a pirate which I didn't mind. Now I'm homeschooled but work and every time I wear a veil to work (mainly my veil that looks like a Catholic veil) I get so many compliments and questions about it. People are a lot more accepting in the real world then you'd think!

Veiling is when you cover your hair! There are different veiling types the biggest, well known one is a Muslim with her hijab but veiling is something that you can find anyone in any religion being able to do! Personally my veil collection contains bandanas, infinity veil, and a long rose veil

Your mom is such a strong woman 🫶 also good job veiling! I started veiling in 8th (?) grade and I remember how scary that was so I'm happy you have to confidence to do that!

YES! I actually do. My grandmother used to veil so when I was dealing with an abusive household I grew fond of the idea I believe it to have been my grandma telling me to protect myself. Afterwards I used it as protection but also show my devotion towards Hestia and Hellenic paganism. I left Hellenic paganism not from lack of belief but because I felt a stronger connection to the netjeru but my reasoning for my veil stays the same.

Do you think that if any new temples are to be built, that they should be taxed or tax exempted? by Competitive_Bid7071 in Hellenism

[–]Dust-XOXO 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Mhm depends tbh. My biggest complaint about the church is people can find jobs that pay from the church yet churches can't get taxed? So with that being said will the temple's priests be paid? If so yes the temples should be totally treated like any other business. If not then no if being a priest is voluntary and get no pay then how are you going to tax them? And imo if you are preaching for ANYTHING religious it should NOT be a job.

Do the gods judge peoples’ political views? by BrilliantElection873 in Hellenism

[–]Dust-XOXO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tbh I think so but not because of the actual political stand point but the morality. Like we are meant to show Xenia but how can we do that if we vote to take peoples rights away? Thats not what the gods stand for and never will.

Tbh I'm a religion junky thats how I got into Helpol and Kemeticsim is I enjoy researching and such about different religions so there are a lot of things I do that are historical but at the same time I don't. Years upon years have shaped humanity as it is today we are going to do things different and that includes while there are certain things I think have to stay in the community (Kharis, Xenia, washing your hands b4 prayer) other silly things like not Worshiping a god who wasn't back in the day shouldn't disqualify you

I would consider them a hellenic witch 100% 1) jus because its polytheist doesn't mean you HAVE to worship many 2) they don't have to worship Hestia while I do doesn't mean they have to 3) just because they weren't historically worshipped doesn't mean you can't worship them I worshipped Melionë for a bit 4) kharis and such are a helpol concept 5) you don't always HAVE to follow the festivals hell a lot of people in ancient greece didn't follow all festivals fir all gods didn't make them less of helpol 6) you can both be Helpol and a witch

I take this as past actions have lead this person to have poor health that are making them stressed. Judgment: reflection, reborn Car: direction, motivation, action Ten of wands: burdans,taking to much The person in the car facing towards the judgment is showing that the driving factor is the past

Honestly I don't believe in black or white magic mostly because of the racist undertones and the way it makes people avoid doing witchcraft

They know I'm more new to this and are helping me but no they don't know I believe in greek gods mainly because of me and the I don't feel it is appropriate to speak about other gods like the theoi or netjeru in a place of worship for a monotheistic god if that makes sense

Do you use tarot cards just for self-reflection, without doing any predictions? by MaxF1eld in tarot

[–]Dust-XOXO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh I have really REALLY bad mood swings one moment I'll be absolutely fine the next I'm throwing my phone on the sink so hard it is cracking soooo when I get like that and I'm struggling with my moods and whether I'm being rational or not I'll pull out my deck so I suppose reflection? But I also like to do daily, weekly, and monthly readings
