yeah, i heard about atheist pagans

I am deeply interested in paganism now

especially since paganism never really dissappeared from 19th century or even 20th century Europe at all.

It's still there.

The Druidic order in England seems interesting

But honestly, the Turkish groups kinda fascinate me

That said

I agree on the church bit

but I do kinda want a "religion" or "spirituality" or whatever the fuck we call it now

just to experiment

nothing more

then u have a whole spectrum to research from, considering where you're from, where your mom is from, your roots wat you're looking to experiment with, what you "want/need" out of the practice, if u want community or doing your spirit work on ur own, etc i refuse to influence u, u gotta do the research urself, be wary of cults, use the marxist framework of "who benefits from this?" and does it align w ur marxism, stuff like that. i dont mix my knowledge on marxism w my spirituality just an fyi, i mean, could i? sure but there's alot of baggage around why i practice what i practice which uuuuh idk might be a liability to the path.

edit: wait actually, the marxist-leninist framework deeply influences my spiritual practices, not the other way around....so maybe...not a liability? who knows.

Oh kewl

Yeah, definitely be wary of cults, especially now.

Oh, and what is "spirit work"?

[โ€“] catonion@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

spiritual rituals tied to my practice <3
