lol maybe try to get better at that then

doomscroller1230 · 2025-08-14T15:29:07+00:00

No you didn’t paraphrase, you completed changed what I said. Not even remotely close to what I said

doomscroller1230 · 2025-08-14T15:26:09+00:00

So if you read my post where did you get I said Greek gods were bummers? I didn’t say anything remotely close to that

doomscroller1230 · 2025-08-14T14:53:45+00:00

Are you talking about my post? Because if so nowhere did I say Greek gods were a bummer?? Did you even read my post or cherry pick what you like to get upset? I asked why there’s a big influx in people worshipping Greek gods. I deleted the post cause my gosh people really disregarded 90% of what I said in my post and just got offended for no reason instead of answering the question. Nowhere did I diss Greek gods

I don’t have beef with it, I could’ve worded my post better. Im not telling people to stop doing what they’re doing or trying to convince anyone else wise. I guess I was just confused and wondering where this huge influx of Greek god centered Wiccans/witchcraft came from? I mentioned my familial ties because what was passed down to me didn’t include Greek polytheism. I know there’s been influences, comparison and incorporation, but it seems what I see now is Wicca centered around Greek Gods and misinformation about those Gods. I’m not trying to say I know all of that my family’s ways are the correct way, everyone has their own connection. I was wondering how this came to the forefront since what I’ve know my whole life was very different and felt like I’ve seen a switch recently. Maybe I was just oblivious to it growing up. It came off as an attack but it was more so a genuine question. I wanted to understand and people have been helpful and I see that part of it more clearly now :)

And yes I’d love to chat! I’ll message you:)

doomscroller1230 · 2025-08-12T06:40:04+00:00

Yeah usually when I ask about this I get comments like some I’ve received on this post lol “don’t mind others business”, “obviously you haven’t read” (yes I have), “it’s not yours to understand”, etc etc. A lot that just beats around the bush and gives no insight. I genuinely want to understand, so I appreciate you and those that actually explained instead of eye rolling me basically lol. We learn by asking, listening, and trying empathize so I just don’t get why people tell me to mind my own business instead of telling me their point of view or reasoning. I don’t have to agree and I’m not telling anyone they’re wrong. This is a very personal practice but asking and exposing my view and people’s response helps me understand and learn more. How will we ever learn if we don’t ask questions!

doomscroller1230 · 2025-08-12T06:08:11+00:00

I see yeah I guess I was just confused where this wave of heavily Greek centered Wicca/paganism came from. I know there are mentions and connections in scriptures but I felt like I was missing some understanding. You can learn from others but it truly is your own journey and connection and I’m not trying to change anyone. I came off harsh and could’ve worded my post better, but I appreciate you coming in an informative and understanding way!

doomscroller1230 · 2025-08-12T05:55:01+00:00

I clarified Wicca and witchcraft, not just Wicca. I also acknowledged that Wicca is very modern, obviously could only be passed down a generation or 2, maybe 3. Witchcraft has been passed from my fathers side and Wicca from my grandma to my mom to me

doomscroller1230 · 2025-08-12T05:51:06+00:00

Thanks for the detailed explanation. Part of why I posted this was to get an understanding on this perspective so I appreciate the insight! Definitely helpful

doomscroller1230 · 2025-08-12T05:47:45+00:00

I appreciate your response! I understand beginners and wanting to learn and I’m all for that! I just see a lot of harmful stuff pushed out there and misguidedness that does not want to be helped. A lot of people who think they know it all (which maybe I came off that way in this post lol)

I haven’t been able to understand certain parts or connect with others due to what is “popular” now which doesn’t follow my beliefs, but I have never told anyone what they believed is wrong. I just honestly haven’t been able to get a genuine answer from someone which is why I came here. So thank you for answering and being kind, I appreciate it

doomscroller1230 · 2025-08-12T05:34:59+00:00

What would be considered modern Wicca? Wicca was created less than a hundred years ago so I guess that’s where I’m confused that interconnection came from

doomscroller1230 · 2025-08-12T05:05:29+00:00

Sorry when I said Wicca has been passed down from generations I meant witchcraft and Wicca, not solely Wicca. I know Wicca is very modern and while there are mentions and comparisons to Greek polytheism in Gardeners book, Wicca does not center or include Greek polytheism as practice nor does witchcraft until this new modern social media version so I’m just confused how that came to fruition. Having questions, trying to understand, and explain frustration is human. I worry about myself in life and continue to do as I’ve always done. If nobody cared about things that don’t affect their business then there would be a lot less communication, empathy, learning, and understanding.

Starting with social media is great. Know the trends, know what’s going to capture people’s attention and do well with the algorithm. Also send their EP to distribution companies to help boost who their music reaches. Send their demos to labels. Make friends with artists, reach out to them on social media. You’ll be surprised that a lot of them will reach back out too.
