You mentioned that you are pagan? Or interested in that side of things? How so, if I may? :)

I'm pagan (non denominational goddess worship) and I'm growing more interested in ecology and everything encompassed in solar punk, so I'm interested to hear how your interest coincides with being/interest in paganism

Hi! Yes. I’m still very much just dipping my toe into paganism, so I use the term loosely as I don’t feel informed enough yet to be more specific. I’m interested by neo-Druidry and drawn to Celtic Polytheism, but mainly because it’s most compatible with my heritage, not because it seems more right or true than any other pagan belief system I’ve come across.

I call myself a pagan because I believe that the matter of the earth itself is what is sacred, that the world is full of gods older than any of the names we have given them, inhabiting the water and the rocks, the trees and the soil, the animals and the herbs. I guess you could say ecology is my religion in some senses - the way everything fits together in harmony, from the Wood Wide Web to the salmon run, never fails to make me feel close to the divine.

For me personally, my paganism is very close to solarpunk. I’m a solarpunk because I think living in harmony with the earth is sacred. I’m a pagan because I think saving the planet requires all aspects of our lives and selves. And vice versa, if that makes sense. Now of course, I’m sure there are many deeply committed, principled and hardworking solarpunks who are atheists, agnostic, humanists, Christians, Jewish, Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, Buddhists, Baha’is and Zoroastrians, or who follow indigenous spiritualities, and I think all these belief systems are compatible in their own way with solarpunk (which actually has a lot in common with an apocatastatic religion but don’t get my theology nerd brain started on that). But for me, I couldn’t conceive of being a pagan and not a solarpunk too, or a solarpunk and not some sort of nature worshipper. But religion is very personal.

Hope this explains ok - my feelings around faith are very blobby and hard to verbalise 😅😆

This is one of many things that need to be stopped! How many of these "freebies" have they given away?! All this plastic and chemicals! This is the kind of thing that is killing our home! Make a change! Even the smallest of changes will make a difference! 💚🌍💚 #thewitchyclub #instawitch #witchcraft #witch #pagan #greenwitchcraft #paganism #greenwitch #witchesofinstagram #witchesofinstagram🔮🌙 #eco #extinctionrebellion #ecofriendlyliving #ecofriendly #ecopagan https://www.instagram.com/p/ByZwzNxnP_x/?igshid=1j9ive3mrf8iw

Alright witches. We need to talk.

We all know the oil industries have amassed material wealth and gain for a century or two. We all know that the life on Earth is going through a drastic dip in biodiversity, due largely to oil companies and similar corporations unchecked consumption of toxic resources. And yet it continues to thrive. It continues to kill.

Besides direct action and protesting, there's an extra step that us witches can do. I propose we steal the manifesting energy of oil companies and siphon it into movements and charities that support the earth and the seas.

This is probably not a new concept. Witches have likely been doing this for forever. But I'm asking you to spread the word. I'm asking you to participate. I'm asking you to make a difference.

I will make a separate post to how I plan to create my spell for this. Thank you for your time.

The Apport by the Roadside

In February 2017, I was walking along a road with my friend and fellow author Jodie Forrest. What happened next, she described as an apport, a word I had to look up. It means an object produced during a spiritualist séance.

It was a sunny winter day in southern California. Ravens danced above an open field. There were always ravens around wherever Jodie was.

Solarpunk Sunday Suggestion:

Weave yourself a crown of foraged ivy 🌿

[monochryslamia]

Here's my promised follow up:

String or yarn

A list of color corespondences

Green paint

A tarot deck (optional)

I'm using black to represent the oil, red to represent the blood spilled, and green to represent the money flow of oil companies

My chosen movement I want to support is the solar Punk movement. I'm using yellow to represent the sun, pink to represent the communal love at the center of the movement, and dark blue to represent quiet strength.

I'm going to make the first braid (black, red, green) and channel the energy of the oil companies into every knot. I'm going to have The Devil card out to help.

I will repeat with the second braid, and have The Sun card out to help

When that's done, I will tie the ends of the braids together and visualize the green (representing money and luck) seeping out of the oil braid, and into the solarpunk braid.

I will cover the knots with green paint, sealing the spell in place.

Please reblog with your ideas on a spell, or make a separate post using the tags #ecopaganism or #WitchesAgainstOil. Thank you for your time. 💚

Yes I have been sharing a lot of this kind of thing. But as a pagan, as a human animal and a child of Mother Earth; I feel this is important and so should you. This is all our futures that is being destroyed by greed and stupidity.
