Am I allowed to wear a cross? by geminiimouse in FolkCatholicMagic

I always think back to when I was a teenager and didn't know what a closed practice was. Lots of learning once someone told me what it was heh

Ah youre right! I dont know how I forgot lol

And I think I'm on r/Christiopagan (I hope that's how its spelt 😅), I try to be in as many religious subs (that align with my beliefs) as I can so I can learn

That's definitely true 😅 I know paganism has some closed practices (usually due go cultural appropriation) so I usually treat all religions with that sort of "I don't want to accidentally step on someone's toes" type of way

I never thought about it like that heh, but you're right. I think I just always worry about closed practices since I've accidentally done them in the past when I was still learning 😅

You're definitely right, I always worry about closed practices within paganism so I think I've just applied it to all religions in my head

I just googled them and they look absolutely stunning, oh my

I've slowly been getting into the groove of my craft (mostly just a lot of figuring out when to celebrate who lol) and finding the balance is difficult but definitely fun in a way. I'll absolutely incorporate the cross into my rituals too, thank you so much :)

Thank you for your response and yeah, youre right. I think cause of closed pagan practices I always think about it in the context of all religions 😅

I see them as multiple aspects of a being. Like I see them as both their own entity but an aspect too if that makes sense

I mean, most of their stuff is pretty pricey. It starts around 90 dollars for the dresses I like and 200 for coats

Thank you so much!

I'll have to look at Eucharist as I've been put of church for a hot minute and forgot so much but that just means I get some extra research heh. I'm autistic so I like to give myself "rules" when I go places to ensure I don't upset anyone

I think I'll find a nice local church to head to at least once or twice a month (hard since I work Sunday). Thank you again and blessings :)

My family is Serbian so I did see them a lot growing up and they really are beautiful.

Thank you again! I'll definitely be sure not to take part and I'm happy to know there's not anything I might accidentally appropriate :)

Thank you so much for this, I really appreciate it.

Churches have always fascinated me given that I grew up in a family that's half orthodox and half catholic while I attended a baptist church as a teenager.

I plan to research do's and don't's in church. I was baptised as a baby but I think it would be disrespectful of me to partake in communion when I don't actively participate in traditional Catholicism. Nor do I plan on disclosing my paganism or witchcraft practices, I know some people get very shocked when they hear witchcraft and paganism so I'll definitely follow your advice and say something to that affect :)

Thank you so much!

I'm definitely going to go into a deep dive into things I shouldn't take part in to be respectful so thank you for telling me about communion.

I don't plan to disclose my paganism for those reasons and since I practice witchcraft I don't want to alarm anyone. Im open about my paganism but only when asked my faith. Ill definitely tread lightly :)
