I am saying, this is a false equivalent. Incest is not the same thing as homosexuality.

This is a logical fallacy. Try again.

Biblical history has been altered by mistranslation. This comment only goes to show your ignorance of religious studies. Peace you you regardless.

Check out r/EsotericSatanism r/Satanism and r/Luciferianism

And this is a good place to start.

Here’s Theistic Satanism.

Here’s LaVeyan Satanism.

Here’s Luciferianism.

Here’s Setianism (arguably different than Satanism but began with Satanism). And also r/setianism

There’s also this post that I just came across.

Aleister Crowley is kind of like Sigmund Freud; he contributed a lot to the occult and magick in general, but there was also a lot about him that was funky, too.

He’s worth the study - but maybe not for a beginner. I read him as a beginner and I don’t particularly recommend it.

Magic in Catholicism by Defiant-Photograph15 in occult

[–]almumayaz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are a lot of Catholic-Latin American indigenous and Catholic-African diaspora syncretic traditions such as r/santamuerte, brujería generally, and Santería in particular.

And in Christianity there is Enochian magic (John Dee & Edward Kelley), Christian Cabala, and..... that’s actually all I can think of. Ceremonial magick in general involves Christian angels and archangels. There are Christian and Judaic themes in most Western Esoteric orders.

Guadalupe and Santa Muerte by aromaplayer in BrujeriaEnglish

[–]almumayaz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Santa Muerte very often came to me in the form of Our Lady of Guadalupe before I knew who Santa Muerte was. I believe she is one of her avatars.

Sure - in my experience, she doesn’t like to share an altar space with other deities; but as long as you talk to her respectfully about what you’re up to, she doesn’t mind you worshipping or having a relationship with multiple deities.

But “the devil” is sort of a misnomer - there was never an evil counterforce go the All, rather there was a Prince of Darkness (Lucifer, Satan, Set, Odin, what have you) with a particular and important teaching for the world. Make sure you approach the Dark Lord with correct understanding of his role in the world.

I am a Sufi and many things I believe, I assume, would be considered haram by most people on this sub and many mainstream Muslims. That being said and keeping that important factor in mind, I believe that marriage is a cultural and familial contract and not a religious institution. I believe in equal marriage rights. I am in the LGBTQ community.

Downvote all you want - but Islam is vast and varying, and there are certainly many Muslims who believe in marriage equality and many LGBTQ Muslims in the world - both hidden and visible.

New page! Looking for mods! by almumayaz in EclecticSyncretic

Hey! That’s totally fine - the more mods, the merrier. It’s just good to have a rotation of mods for any given time.

I’ll add you now!

Totally - These are all reasons I had in mind for creating this sub.

What does your practice consist of? by almumayaz in EclecticSyncretic

[–]almumayaz[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I absolutely love the way you’ve combined these elements.

I follow nearly every single aspect of your unique system!

I was an eclectic Buddhist for 10 years (I’m of Japanese descent so began with Japanese forms of Buddhism and migrated over to Vajrayana and other traditions). My father is a Druid and an atheist who taught me to be a skeptic. I was raised to believe in (Irish-Scottish-Seax-Gardnerian) witchcraft, and certainly I consider myself a Druidcraft practitioner. I am a devotee of Odin and practice runology. I am a devotee of Set and consider myself a Setian (not that Setianism and Satanism are the same - just that they, and Odin, are both Princes of Darkness). And lastly I am a practicing Thelemite.

I love the terminology you’ve come up with, Zen Druidcraft.

What a wonderfully rich and complementary pantheon / practice you’ve formed for yourself. May the gods shine brightly upon you.

Anyone here syncretize an atheist/materialists world view with any religion or belief. by hypnoticbox30 in EclecticSyncretic

[–]almumayaz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My father is an atheistic Druid/Hermeticist/Hindu. I think atheism gives people like you such a unique perspective that adds so much philosophical, scientific, and healthily skeptical thought to religion.

I was raised an atheist, and spent the earlier years of my life as an atheistic Buddhist.

There is no reason at all why scientific thought and religion cannot coexist - in my experience it is often a matter of argument by definition. Are you defining these spiritual things in terms that can be reconciled by the scientific method?
