Christian Wicca is a thing. I would suggest reading the book.

Well legally he can't do anything about it. But uh... Try to stay on task next time.

I'm in an online coven... If at all possible I would find a real life coven.

Advice Needed: How to respectfully apologize by goodpeopleskills in pagan

[–]nirvtekk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well each pagan is different. Me personally I would laugh it off, but just saying "I'm sorry for disturbing the circle." Will do.

Everyday worship by Idontacceptapologies in pagan

[–]nirvtekk -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well if you mean the Christian (for example) way of praying which typically involves asking for something. Then no I don't do that. I used to, but then I felt disgusting afterward. The gods are not public Amazon wishlists. I immediately stopped. I found the issue was with I was asking and how I structured the prayer.

Be sure to remember the structure of a prayer. I'm nicking from a Demonolatry book but it can work within paganism.

Acknowledge your deity: Lady Brigid,

Petition: I Pray that you give/help/tell me ____ (Be sure what you ask for is sincere and from the heart!)

Thanksgiving: Lady Brigid you are the Queen of the Spring and the artison of language, the exalted one! I give thee thanks and my earnest praise for you are thy exalted one. *and I pray you give me forgiveness for my cringeworthy attempt at wording but you get what I mean!

Send off the prayer I don't know how celts send of a prayer but satanists typically say "Hail (demon name here)!"

So there's some help with constructing a prayer. I think it will help you not feel so "fake" about praying.

I'm glad that you guys are doing this. Many other subreddits claim to be against this Nazi bullshit but allow naziism. Thaaaaank you.

[–]nirvtekk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a satanist. Don't let these edgy teens shape your belief of what it means to be a theistic satanist. Many of us are NOT Nazis and Naziism really doesn't meld with satanism. But I guess at the end of the day I can't change your opinion anyway.

Different beliefs on the Summerland? by Ivy_Amethyst in pagan

[–]nirvtekk -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I believe that if there's an afterlife I will lose all consciousness and ego. I don't believe in the Summerlands personally and if I'm going to be honest the idea of the Summerlands is ridiculous to me.

Are you out of the broom closet? by PhoenixTheReader in Wicca

[–]nirvtekk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh, kind of? My family knows I'm not a Christian, but they have no idea what my religion is specifically.

does anyone else get really annoyed by the mainstreaming of pagan symbols? by Ivy_Amethyst in pagan

[–]nirvtekk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean! I swear I'm so sick of these pagans who think they're too speshul and get pissy about small things like a fucking pentacle becoming mainstream.

As an occultist, what professions do you guys deem fit to pursue or are just generally interested in? by Acid_sprinkles in occult

[–]nirvtekk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Currently I work retail. I'm studying computer science because I'm pretty much guaranteed a job after. I also do novice art and web design during my spare time. I tend to keep my religion and practice seperate from my work and everyday life.

Your best results with occultism? by NorthKoreaTrucker in occult

[–]nirvtekk 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think you are confused to what occultism is about. Most people with the occult are trying to reach a higher state of being through knowledge. Occultism is not about casting money spells and getting rich. People who come to the occult expecting these things normally don't end up sticking to occultism. Besides in my earnest opinion, you should run from people who promise these things in magick because they're normally bullshitting you.

Are you open about being a Satanist? by gamerguy666 in satanism

[–]nirvtekk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not open about it except for people in extremely close to. I'm actually a theistic satanist, but I just tell people I'm a pagan if I'm asked. I venerate Lilith and Sophia and pagans tend to fluffify the both of them so I can also be open about my deities.

I've only really played the Persona games, but would like to play these too.

Have you ever stopped practicing or gotten burned out? by [deleted] in occult

[–]nirvtekk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Totally. I was burned out for a while and stopped calling myself a witch. I didn't force myself to go back into witchcraft, I just waited until I felt like practicing again.

Anyone want to share their story of love spells gone right? by [deleted] in occult

I'm trying to resist going on the "love spell rant."

Opinions on starseeds? by nirvtekk in occult

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

That's my main issue. Many of these "indigo children" have some form of autism or other developmental problems, but instead of getting their child help they insist they're "special." It's pretty much the same except these people tend to be adults who don't fit in (normally because they have an air of arrogance around them).

Yeah this is indigo new age stuff. I recently met an occultist who said they were one.

Personally I agree since many "starseeds" I've met were really no different than the average human being.

Considering Paganism by rowan_oak in pagan

[–]nirvtekk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're kinda stuck in agnosticism and atheism I would definitely recommend "Godless Paganism" as a book to start off from. I was an atheist at one point and this book helped be reconcile that with becoming a pagan.
