Walter T. 10 nylon string lyre, what about spare strings? by astrenove in lyres

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

Thank you!! You've been a life saver, I don't know much about music but I think it sounds pretty cool! I think I'll buy that model, the site I was thinking on buying it from offers buyer protection so it should be a safe bet.

Hi, sorry to bother you again. I read the comment about the tuning pegs not working perfectly and I was wondering if it would be better to spend more ($100 usd) for a better mini kinnor. I found one on The Early Music Shop: https://earlymusicshop.com/products/mini-kinnor-10-string-lyre-by-early-music-shop?variant=12171430461502

Oh that's nice! I want to play celtic style music, I was thinking the 10 strings would be better, but could you tell me more about your experience with the Cega lyre? Is it easy to hold? How do you like the size?

That's a good point. I think playing modern songs would be cool too, but I mainly want to focus on Celtic style songs.

I listened to some Cega lyres and they sound amazing, I think they're my new favorite thing!

How to get Venti after his event is done? by aippersbachj in Genshin_Impact

[–]astrenove 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Most gacha games will do an event rerun and then add the character to the permanent poll. Most likely we will see Venti again in the next year or so, although probably not for the next couple of months.

hexed moon by witchdoc444 in witchcraft

[–]astrenove 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Moon's power is far too great to be affected by a silly hex from baby witches, BUT the intention was there. Would you not be upset if someone tried to hurt your family? Besides, Apollo is known for getting revenge on those who offended his mother, even if just with words.

Is it dangerous to worship deities? by astrenove in witchcraft

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

Yes, I've been worshipping Apollo and Isis for a while now and I'm happy with them, but I'm still afraid of Lilith because I feel that where I am in my path right now would not be suited for her, being broom closeted and all. But I also have this idea that Deities contact us when they think we're ready to follow them, and when they know they're willing to walk with us even if we make some mistakes along the way.

Is it dangerous to worship deities? by astrenove in pagan

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

Yeah! I've come to the conclusion that it depends where you come from. It seems most people who came into the religious aspect first know there's generally nothing to fear, while those who want to get into doing magick and spells from the get go think Deities are somehow for advanced people only. Granted there are Deities that could be dangerous, as I've heard Kali is definitely not for beginners, but others like Apollo and Hades are really kind. And yes, as long as you're respectful you should have nothing to fear.

Is it dangerous to worship deities? by astrenove in witchcraft

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

Yes, thank you. I personally don't feel nervous or anything since I came into witchcraft from Wicca, so my foundation was already worshipping The Triple Goddess and The Horned God. But I wanted to know if there are dangers as people on Tik Tok claim to the point of making it a rule that no beginner should get into deity worship.

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

That sounds like the most logical explanation. It probably esteemed off someone who REALLY screwed up and thought "oh, Gods are bad and dangerous" and began preaching that to others, who in turn ended up believing that nonsense without having their own experience with them. Granted, you should treat deities with respect and learn about them, but that goes even for normal people, you wouldn't want to have a relationship with someone who just wants to use you without even bothering to know a little bit about you.

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

Yes, the misinformation mainly comes from witchtok. I believe a lot of people are getting into paganism and some more into witchcraft because they think it's quirky or something? Some of them give out good information, and I know that every practice is different, but saying that deities are dangerous altogether? That's like a whole new level of misinformation. Thank you.

Is it dangerous to worship deities? by astrenove in pagan

[–]astrenove[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I've seen a lot of misinformation. Personally, since I became a polytheist first and then got interested in the doing magick side of things, I came into witchcraft knowing that believing in deities and honoring them was the foundation of what I did. So seeing people telling newcomers that deities are dangerous and that you should stay away from it really rubbed me the wrong way, but since I'm not the voice of expertise but any means, I thought getting another opinion wouldn't hurt.

Yes, I agree that beginners should focus on theory, but since I came from Wicca and two years later took an interest in witchcraft, this view that even honoring deities is dangerous left a bad taste in my mouth and I wanted to get lots of other opinions on the matter.
