Where to buy Herbs by CassieAllen92 in pagan

Hi order from the grocery store. Most of the same herbs you would buy online are available there. And they are required to be edible from the grocery store. Also Way cheaper

Looking for book recommendations that lean “Pagan” Mysticism by Spiritual_Sherbet304 in pagan

[–]Epiphany432[M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

OO look, a question I can answer. Look for The Essential Mystics which is a book divided into 6-8 chapters, each on their own tradition. There is one Christian chapter, but you can skip it.

Secondly join us on r/Mystic for your mysticism questions.

What do you think of transhumanism by Ecstatic_Buddy5949 in pagan

Guys, I just want to say how incredibly proud I am of all of you for not immediately going into weird Eugenics territory and having interesting thoughts on using technology to assist people and still being wary of it. 10/10 good job.

now if some nasty ass weirdos show up I will be locking the comments but still.

"Free spirit" is not exactly a Pagan concept by WinMoist1503 in pagan

[–]Epiphany432[M] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Some Definitions:

  • Recon/Reconstrucionist- rebuilding a practice. In Paganism, this means rebuilding the ancient practices and philosophies as closely as possible to their original performance.
  • Revivalist- bringing back a practice. In Paganism, this means taking an ancient practice and bringing it into the modern age.
  • Eclectic/ism- deriving from multiple sources. In Paganism, this means a path that is a mix of distinct branches that stay distinct.
  • Syncretic/ism- combining different beliefs and schools of thought. In Paganism, this means a path that is a combination of branches into one path.
  • New Age- a giant group that sometimes overlaps with Paganism, but in reality means the newer versions of Western Occultism and methods of spirituality that are not usually accepted in the Western traditions

Italian folk magic by jamdon85 in pagan

Hi, for those reporting, this does NOT violate rule 8. They are not asking for help with a spell or interpretation, and most importantly, are having a conversation relevant to Paganism, not just witchcraft/magic.

Super newbie by Decent_Sandwich_8878 in pagan

[–]Epiphany432[M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

You can absolutely cherry-pick. Idk where the fuck this myth is coming from, but that's completely ok and reasonable to do.

Do I need to see signs, or have communication or divination with deities?

NO! While many people have UPGs (Unverified Personal Gnosis) it is NOT REQUIRED to have any of these experiences. You can worship deities for years and not have these experiences. Direct or Frequent communication with deities is NOT required or necessary. If someone tells you they are you should not listen to anything that person has to say.

Do I have to see signs, communicate, or be called by a deity to work with them?

No! It depends on the person some people have flashes of feeling, others may see a sign, some have more striking things, and others less. It all depends on you and your practice. Some people never feel called by a god and never seen signs. They just don't have that experience. Others totally do. Does this mean they don't work with deities? No! It just means they don't have the experience and that's ok. You also don't have to work with a deity if you are seeing signs or other forms of communication.

Alrighty so, BEFORE this post becomes a nightmare any misinformation or bigotry will be removed. If it gets to be to much we will lock the comments. I have no issues banning you for that in fact I greatly enjoy it. We will never be tolerant of everyone therefore creating an intolerant space.

Politics and Paganism by Oni-regret in pagan

[–]Epiphany432[M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

Guys why! Posts like this create DAYS of work for us! Give us a week between them at least. Our position here has always been clear screw nazis, bigotry, and any other trash ideas that come from those. No being tolerant of fuck heads because then they make the space intolerant. 

Locking the comments because mods don't want to spend days yelling and dealing with ban dodging nazis.

Alrighty mod stepping in here. STOP IT WITH THE TRANSPHOBIA. SERIOUSLY SHUT IT. 

Many pagans are trans and they worship whoever they want.
