Just a weirdly mystical asshole looking for meaning in the meaningless, silence in the jumble of voices, sight in darkness, finding the rhythm in chaos.
Hey, I have one of those!
This. This is the type of deep-set-comment-buried weirdness I missed from Reddit. Thank you for an interesting read.
I'm ChristoPagan, does that count?
Eh, it's been less annoying with Tumblr and here.
Couldn't have said it better myself. I live with someone who won't stop crowing about the illegality of it all. Like, dude, I fucking get it, but also these fucks were evil from the very FUCKING start and the rule of law is meaningless without anyone to actually enforce it.
There's also a chance I'll add a community on Matrix or similar if people are interested. Honestly, I just wanted to contribute something, and try to do something better than what Reddit had to offer. (Which was a whole load in and of itself)
Lesser Banishing Ritual Of The Pentagram by Damien Echols (abridged)
Depending on the request (physical, emotional, energetic) I'll either light a candle with specific offering or sometimes just ask directly. Both have had equally pleasing results for me.
Oh, thank you, I fixed it!
This occasionally ends up on my dash and I love it every time. The mental image/clip it provides is hysterical.
Why are they all so orange?
Agent Orange And The Orangutan Invaders...
Occultists and Mages of Lemmy, what do you want to see in an occult community?
Yes I'm serious, pagans and other general practitioners are encouraged to respond as well.
I have a community here called [email protected] It's only got a few posts as of now, I hope to add more soon but time is like money and I have neither of either.
My own small guide on Spirit Spousing, in honour of Lupercalia.
Spirit Spousing 101
I figured I'd try my hand at writing a micro essay on Spirit Spousing, or Spirit Marriage.
Introduction
First things first, a little introduction to the concept of Spirit Spouses. Common examples can be found in the modern Priesthood/Nunery, in a nun's vows, for example. Other examples would be a devotee of the pagan Gods, or God Spousing. The concept is the same. Common examples can be found across multiple cultures, from indigent, to African, to New Age beliefs. Marriage is also a possibility, provided you can provide a Priest to officiate the ceremony; I'll discuss it in another section.
Types Of Relationships
Types of relationships can very from simple devotion to intimate relationships on par with that of a physical entity. Sexual or platonic, or something else entirely, Spirit Spousing offers a wide birth of possibilities not limited by boundaries of the physical.
Devotional relationships might comprise of anything from offerings of food and
Well that's horrifying...
They were supposed to open up the little hamster to watch his tiny heart beat inside its cracked ribcage.
Uh, I'm sorry, what?
You, Sir/Madam, should be awarded a Grammy for this stunning story.
MAGAts are whiny morons. They're also borderline obsessed with other people to the point that they should probably be on a list or something. Tracked at the very least.
Source: I grew up in the South, Alabama specifically.
Such an oddly specific situation... Welp, I'm entertained either way!
Denizens of Lemmy, how did your hamster die?
The point for this post is to start several (hopefully) interesting threads of weird hamster death stories because apparently these things never die naturally?
Ditched Reddit entirely today. Got sick of the constant crap that I keep telling it I don't want to see.
Mine apparently does. I can apparently will myself to wake up at a given time, or at least relatively close.
This legit made me laugh out loud, thanks!
Chaplet Of St. Cyprian, Saint Of Magick Workers
A) At the Cross:
St. Cyprian, patron of Sorcerers and Magicians, I beseech you that you preserve me from all evil intents, arts, and perfidies. May they be full of confusion, those who attempt against my life. May my enemies be confused and scattered to the winds.
Guard my vision and my thoughts that I may understand the secret doctrines without error. Assist me to grow in power and wisdom that I may serve the good of mankind.
Grant me the power to intervene on behalf of those that come to me for help. Assist me in serving those who are bound by hexes, bewitching, and possessed of evil, so that the rabid wolf may have dominion over them no longer.
B) This is followed by three Holy St. Cyprians:
Holy St. Cyprian, mage, martyr, and mystic; theurge, thaumaturge, and theophoros; saint, sorcerer, and sage! Pray for us now, and at the hour of our death. Amen.
C) Recite one Our Father on the large bead
D) 9x Holy St. Cyprian
E) 1x Our Father
C) End on the large bead with the Sorcerer
All are welcome
Hi, doing a small post here because I neglected to post anything on Lithia due to the fact I've been kinda drained.
I'm doing this post so when people see it they can know what this group, and by extension myself, are about.
I want this to be a communal space where people of all walks of weirdness can come together and bask in the Holy Strangeness. I do certainly confess that I don't know it all, and hope that I never do for my love of knowledge is great, but I'd still like to do something within this niche-ish community.
As for what, well, I'm leaving that up to those who show up. I will do posts here and on my other spaces, I'm still in the process of trying to figure out what exactly I'm doing here.
That's all for now, a happy belated Lithia to you all!
INTRODUCTION
As the moderator of what I hope will become a very interesting discussion space, fingers crossed I would like to give a small introduction of Me and my beliefs.
I'm going to be going by the name Doc. Zephyr here to avoid bs.
I am a polytheist, magick practitioner, and folk witch that hails from the hills of Tennessee. I grew up southern baptist, and then Evangelical, before finally getting my first taste of what non-Christian spirituality had to offer. Like many of you, this came about due to me discovering my sexuality and The Church were in hard disagreement, among many, many, many other things that would take far more lines to list than this.
My current timeline for this journey of self-discovery is as follows:
At 15, it became painfully obvious that I was on the outs at my Church. I'd prayed many a time, but it seemed my prayers fell on deaf ears. From then on it was a variable will they, won't they of cat and mouse, religion hopping, and brief madness till I finally settled
