What's my holiday?

So, I'm Omnist. I believe that all religions - when interpreted through the lense of actual love - contain a puzzle piece of the Universe, and honor a higher power. My concept of God is malleable. Maybe God is a spirit in the sky. Maybe God is a collective of consciousness and nature. Maybe God is a built in brain signal, bridging the gap between us and the unknown. Or maybe it's a combination of those, or something else altogether.

I was raised in Christianity, so I view a lot of things from that perspective. Jesus is an important figure to me. In my mind, I refer to him as "The Red Words" - the words highlighted in red in a lot of bibles. Was Jesus one man, or a composite of people and stories? Was he the divine son of God, or a prophet, or a really intense and spiritual carpenter? None of that matters to me. The Jesus figure - the red words - the commandment to love thy nieghbor. And whoever Mary was or wasn't, she has become a mother figure that I love.

My family celebrates Christmas, and I celebrate the season with them. I don't find Jesus in Christmas. If you do, that's great! To me, it's just a fun time to give and receive, and not feel guilty about enjoying your haul! I do like to celebrate giving, and while I think we should give and be kind all year round, I think it's lovely to have a time when we celebrate the spirit of giving and being kind. I think it refreshes us! Oh, and I like sparkly, colorful lights, and cookies! I just don't feel more spiritual during this time. I'd rather just keep my soul private, and secularly enjoy some holiday cheer!

I am learning about Humanlight, a secular/humanist holiday on Dec. 23rd thay celebrates the values of this season. The colors are red, blue, and gold. I have to admit, I really dislike the color scheme, because red and blue together strains my eyes. But I love everything else about it! Maybe a design with muted colors would work for me. But also, my favorite color is green, and I was really hoping green would be involved.

Anyway. I don't think I have a holiday. I might just be here for the candy and stockings.

…… is it weird to worship a fictional deity from a fictional universe that was created and shaped by a bunch of millennials

[tummyyummies]

the older I get, the more I crave getting closer to God more than anything, the more I wanna live and explore life, I want new and beautiful, healthy friendships, I crave a life of leisure and happiness, I hunger for all the love that I was meant for, and my inner peace comes from Jesus alone

I was today years old when I found out Pestilence isn't a true member of the 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse. It's Conquest. And you know what Conquest represents?

Religious and political corruption. False prophets. False kings. Take overs under false pretenses. Subjugation. Slavery. Spiritual corruption. Loss of autonomy.

Kinda convenient that was left out by the powers that be.

Kinda hits close to home right now with current events, eh?

[bigsoftmarshmallow]

Lol! Hole-y! XD

Puns are always fun!

While I can understand that... I dunno, I guess that there's just... something... about a small congregation all singing together from the hymnal, where it's mostly just our voices with maybe one or two instruments that just feels... right...

With the big churches & the projectors & stuff, I've noticed that it feels more like a performance. And while, yes, the congregation gets to sing there, too. It feels like the band is the focus.

But when it's a little church with a wooden podium. When the ladies there feel free to smile at you & joke with you & give you gifts for your graduation because they're proud of you. When you feel safe asking questions of the pastor because yeah, he's a bit hard of hearing, but he's welcoming & loves God so much & legitimately wants to help.

When the pastor doesn't only preach the fire & brimstone, but also the overwhelming love that God has for us.

In this way, it's more evenly balanced & more honest, which in my experience, is more honest than if it's nothing but fire & brimstone or nothing but all the love.

When it's small & cozy. I guess that it all just feels more personal.

Now, I'm not saying that I dislike the music in those mega churches, but I guess that I just feel like... something gets inadvertently lost.

But then, maybe that's just my personal preference? When I'd gone to a couple of the bigger churches, I guess that it all just came across as too theatrical. It felt like it lost a bit of its soul.

So because of personal experiences with the Christian religion and churches, I get very bad anxiety attacks being inside of church. The only thing that calms me while inside of one, is music.

I adore hymns and songs sang from choirs or the people of the church, and I adore music sang from instruments and bands. I will agree that small churches provide less anxiety to me, less people, feels like less judgement, its more cozy.

IN MY OPINION (This isn't a universal experience I know) There are not enough small churches in my opinion, and that the large churches do not provide the actual *something* of a religious experience. While I have felt a sensation of something in a small church I once went to with a friend, I have never felt it in a more commercial church. I fully agree that the community of a smaller church makes it a home and brings people together.

(Of course, not all small churches are like this. I know some are corrupt like the big ones, judgement because its a small town or the pastor believes more brimstone than forgiveness. To those who deal with those sorts of churches, I am so sorry you have to do so. I hope those who do follow the Christian faith find a church perfect for you and your style of worship!)

If you don't mind me asking, Relig Anon, how many churches did you go through until you found the one that spoke to you? Were you raised in the church or did you have to hunt to peck?

To clarify to any reading: I am an Omnist. Omnism is the belief in all religions. I also claim to be an Agnostic Omnist, because I have no truths nor facts of which are real/fake/lied about/stretched/etc so I give my belief and respect to all of them. I was raised Nondenominational Christian, then went through the stages of Atheist, Agnostic, Wiccan, Pagan, Agnostic, Omnist, to my now claimed stage of Agnostic Omnist. I love to learn about all religions and experiences, and though I do not go to a Church or Temple myself, I do love to hear about them.

INTRODUCTION  ๋࣭ ⭑⚝

hi! i'm aspen and i'm a 18 fantasy writer. i've decided to use this blog to share my passion for writing, motivate myself to do it, hopefully improve, and find other people to talk about storytelling.

i've loved creating stories since i was a kid, but i've been taken writing more 'seriously' for about 2 years. i'm genderfluid bisexual, and also an omnist lunar kitchen witch. i love everything that is related to fantasy, that's also the main genre i read.

i'm writing mainly in polish, my native language, but sometimes i translate them to english, therefore i'll be posting some of my works from time to time.

i'm also a digital artist! you can find my art on my instagram with the same name as this blog (urlocalwitch555)

my interests change over time, but my current fixations are taylor swift, the amazing devil, and the witcher (book series)

🌙 about my writing

all of the stories i write happen in the same universe i'm currently working on. there are many planetary systems in my universe inspired by various cultures and mythologies, but i'm focusing on the main planet at the moment — caestia, which is a planet where worshipping celestial bodies and magic are essentials.

all of my writing is very personal to me. i love adding elements of my beliefs like witchcraft, mythologies, folklore, especially slavic folklore as i am slavic myself, etc. into my work, as well as themes surrounding mental health, which are very close to me.

i think that diversity is extremely important in fiction and we, as storytellers, have the responsibility of providing as diverse cast of characters and cultures as possible. i make sure to add characters of many races, sexualities and gender identities to most of my works.

⚔️ about my wips

🌙🖤🏹 veil of shadow: a novella about a werewolf witch, who after finding her spirit guide and familiar decides to go on a journey of finding her heritage and her identity

⚔️🎻🌘 path after fate: a novel about a warrior, a bard, and a witch blessed by deities of the sun, stars, and the moon; as they follow a prophecy in order to save the world from an ancient beast, facing monsters and their own weaknesses, they find that what they thought was a blessing is far from that,

My Intro Post!!

Hello and welcome to my blog!! My name’s Ari, but you can call me whatever idc. I’m a girl, a minor, an Aquarius if that matters to you and I have 2 younger brothers.

I lived in Australia for lots of my childhood however moved to Spain last year. I’ve done research and while different people seem to have different definitions of the term, I identify as Hispanic as I’m quite immersed in the Spanish culture, language, etc, never plan on leaving and have been raised like a Spanish kid (my parents have wanted to live here since they were kids so they’ve been preparing us for life here since we were newborn) even though I’m genetically Australian. If you believe I don’t fit the term idc that’s your opinion but this is how I identify.

I’ve been practicing witchcraft since late 2021 and believed in the Greek gods since I was a kid (because of PJO lol). I call myself a Greek pagan witch with animist and omnist beliefs, I believe the terms Hellenism and polytheism may apply but idk enough about them to use them to describe myself.

I started working with Aphrodite 4 days into my practice cuz I’m a bit silly however I’ve gotten more consistent and comfortable with my worship over time. Now working with her is just a part of my daily life, I love all her different epithets (I think is the word) she’s just so cool. I want to start working with King Hades and Queen Persephone in the future.

I’m trying to get better at note taking cuz I often forget. This blog is for saving notes #info, #paganism, #animism and #witchcraft stuff, I’ll post stuff related to #greek mythology under its own tag if not practitioner based, all deity/entity stuff is under its own tag (eg. #aphrodite, #hermes, #odysseus, #telemachus, etc).I also post related fandom stuff here like; #hades game, #pjo, #epic the musical, etc and stuff I’m more critical of like; #anti Madeline miller, #anti lore olympus under their own tags. My posts and asks are under #stariel posts and #stariel asks, all reblogs and queued are #stariel reblogs and #q, if I add a bit of my own input to a post it goes under #stariel convos, if I’m interacting with the community/mutuals it goes under #stariel community and #fave contains well all my fav posts.

I love spirit work and when I’m more experienced I plan on working with ghosts and animal spirits though currently I’m content just talking to my plants, house, divination tools and Aphrodite. I also want to start Ancestor Work soon. I’m a big fan of baneful protection magic and glamour/love magic. I’m pretty proud of my clair senses, intuition and divination abilities, I’ve always been an empath (my definition is; good at sensing energy and emotions) so I’ve put lots of effort into improving these skills which I’m quite happy with the strength of now.

You may also see special interest junk here (I’m neurodivergent) however I’ll try keep it at a minimum and it’ll only be posted if it is related to the topics of this blog (eg. Marvel comics [that and witchy stuff are my 2 big things] and also other interests like #Hermitcraft).

I’m a nickname person, I have some of the best nicknames ever (Stariel was one and now it’s my user for everything) so now I give everyone/thing nicknames lol. Just a warning, if we become friends I’m giving you 10,000 nicknames. I’m also a yapper as you can see below, irl I’ve learned to contain and summarise my paragraphs but on tumblr I let myself go wild and add as many irrelevant details/thoughts I have so I apologise in advance for the essays.

I personally believe hugely in free speech so there’s no DNI for this blog. Everyone is welcome as long as civil discussion is maintained no blatant straw manning/mud slinging if you want to debate me or someone else here on a topic make sure to be respectful about it, thanks.

And that’s about all I have to say right now, I seriously should make intros for my other blogs. Enjoy your stay!!

An introduction to writeblr ,  from The Octic Scribe.

Hey all! I am the Octic scribe , or -O/Z for short, pleasure to meet you! Before you begin, im very dyslexic and that may come through, especially if I am writing on my phone. (no muscle memory)

I’m 24 and looking for writing friends , so here’s a little about me-

1- I am a religious studies student who part times as a scary clown in a suit - I’m dead serious right now –

2- I do sumi-e paintings although I seem to be , well, not very good yet.

3-  I am a Buddhist! … that’s not quite right, I’m a perennial omnist who believes there is truth in all religions as they all contain knowledge from successive generations! They are all so cool! You know how cool and beautiful it can all be when not given to institutions? It’s the most heart stopping and enthralling thing to research. – but I mostly practice in the sphere of Buddhism.

4-  And yes, I am a Percy Jackson kid, if that didn’t come through.

5- I have a cat named Cleo! Short for Cleopatra, short for CLEO BABY WHAT ARE YOU EATING!  - Ill post a pic in a sec~

6- Gender- oh boy do I have my thoughts, but in short- I am an eldritch mass and so are you. The human experience cannot be confined to a binary scale, or in truth any taxonomic invention, and therefor-

7- Pronouns are whatever you are most comfortable with. Dead ass. Use what you want- fuck call me comrade I really don’t care.  

8- I’m trans in at least one direction. Shout out to planed parenthood in the south for being here.

9- I’m an ex-Mormon! Yeah! Religious trauma! 10- im very new to tumblr, so yeah!

About my writing-

Introducing The Forgotten Throne, or TFT, a fantasy world with the soul of sci-fi. The premise of the world is that four deities creations are being tested, and the being on ariavita (the world of TFT) who claims all four deities thrones ascends to a deity themselves. However, after the the pact of the octogram the four sentinels burned all writings on the thrones. It is a world made for war that rejects its purpose.  

With a hard magic system and 8 different fantasy races what’s not to love. There are no elves, dwarfs, ect. Instead, there are the formless yet shapeshifting arcana, the moth like Illuet, and many more.

My first novel in this universe is “Those Who Remember Are Lost” and I am 65 thousand words in! it follows a young watcher (winged beings that are related to humans) and his best friend as they leave there library/home to travel across the world for reasons the mysterious ALEA has not seen fit to tell the travelers. I will polish this more when  school and work aren’t biting at me, but I wanted something for you all to know me with, so yeah!

Drink some water!!

I dont want to burden you with unweildy, personal questions, but i respecr your opinion a lot and think you have good thoughts. (Sorry this is gonna be kinda long, feel free to ignore it (though i ask you dont block me based on this ask bc i love your blog))

Christianity is a faith a care for deeply and feel deeply cared for, especially Catholicism, which i feel connects me to my mother and her family, especially my late grandmother. I love Christian thought, Christian activism, Christian theology, Christian prayer, the whole lot. There are few times i feel more comfort in the world than when im praying a Rosary.

The problem is, i converted to paganism back when i was a child. Im a pan/omnitheist- whatever the one that means you believe all gods exist. And i still feel deeply connected to my faith as a pagan, even as I've shifted pantheons to worship over the years (going from one of/eclectic to Hellenic to Kemetic to Hellenic to settling on Norse.) There's nothing in my soul that feels wrong or stifled when i pray to my gods, ot in fact brings me a great deal of comfort and joy and i feel has helped me deal with a lot of issues in my life.

I still love God, i WANT to love God, and i feel so much love and happiness when i pray to God. But i also feel super conflicted and gross because i know im still pagan at the end of the day. I can't make myself stop believing in my other gods.

So my question is, finally, how would you reconcile these feelings? What am i meant to do with these wack emotions?

I have a friend who's an Omnist and I respect his belief in that and in anyone who wishes to believe. I respect all faiths and support people in those faiths but Christianity is a monotheist religion; the first commandment was to have no other God's besides the Lord and that commandment is echoed over and over again in the scriptures and the words of the church fathers.

I think you have two options here, accept that you are a pagan/omnist and move past those conflicted feelings or accept that the Lord commanded us to only have faith in Him. Honestly my dear sibling in Christ, I don't think I'm the one to decide for you which of those is best for you. You have to figure out what kind of person you are and what you truly believe in your heart to be right; you need to come to terms with these feelings and face then head on. No matter which road you go down remember that I and the Lord do love you dearly.

Stones

This is a weird thing to be writing about, but I'm thinking about it, so here we go.

When A died, the first time I visited his grave, I took flowers. That's what I was used to taking to the cemetery whenever I visited my grandparents' graves, or went with J to visit his mom's. That's the traditional, generally-culturally-Christian American thing to take. But A's grave, at first, didn't have a receptacle to hold flowers (a vase or specified place of any kind). I had to lay the flowers against his low, flat headstone, which didn't feel right anyway. And as I left, I thought about how flowers wither and die and get thrown out. So I tried to think of something more lasting and permanent that didn't blow away or die or (eventually) get (understandably) tossed in a trash can. And the way my goofy brain works, I thought about Schindler's List. Not to be a 30+ year old movie spoiler, but at the end of the film, the people saved from the camps by Oskar Schindler are seen placing stones on his grave, and it is explained that it's a Jewish tradition to do so. Neither A nor I have a Jewish heritage (we were both raised Catholic and eventually became culturally Christian omnist/agnostic-ish people), but something about that tradition spoke to me. I saw Schindler's List maybe 3 times total in my life, the most recent time being with my son a couple of years ago, and it was the only place I'd ever heard about the stone tradition.

Until this past year-ish.

I read a book by Shelly Read, Go As a River, that's not even about Jewish characters, but features laying stones as memorials. Nothing about the cover or the jacket blurb of this book suggested this would be a part of the plot before I brought it home from work with me.

Then last week, J and I watched a news magazine show that featured a Jewish family who had made a stone garden in memorial of their son who died tragically young--a small park where the paths were lined and the trees were ringed in stones people found and laid, some of them painted. We had no idea this would be a feature in the story when we began watching.

Today, I watched A Real Pain, a movie written by and starring Jesse Eisenberg and co-starring Kieran Culkin (I love Kieran Culkin; that's why I started watching it). And lo and behold, the Jewish tradition of placing stones on graves is featured in this dramedy too.

I find it strange that since I began taking stones to A, I'm seeing this featured more frequently in the media I'm choosing. And I'm not choosing the media for this feature; I don't even know it will be there until I see it. I'm sure a lot of folks will write this off as some mere coincidence or explain it as some weird combination of a form of confirmation bias and strange self fulfilling prophecy because I'm seeing it more now because I'm doing it. Like when you get a new car, you start seeing 'your' car everywhere. Maybe there's something to that. I'd have called bullshit on a lot of things I've felt and seen and experienced this past year if someone else...anyone else...maybe even A himself...told me they'd felt or seen or experienced them before he died. But now? That's A. I know it is.

I know it's you, man. OK? I know. I like how much you show up. How consistent it is. And I guess you like getting those stones. We're still snowed in, but I sure do hope they're still there when we thaw out, and I promise I'll bring you more.

I still miss you fucking all the time and I'm still sad about it. But. I can't say it's 'easier' to deal with, but now I can at least feel the comfort in stuff like seeing Jesse Eisenberg and Kieran Culkin go find some stones worthy of their beloved dead. I can feel YOU in that stuff. I love you, man. I want to get back to the cemetery, but it's gonna be another week or two at least. <3

[a-humanimistic-satanist]

|||| About Me - A Humanimistic Satanist ||||

Hi, I'm Syd! I'm new to Tumblr, and I wanted to talk a little bit about myself! I'm not very good at introductions, but I'll do my best.

I am an Animistic Satanist, and I primarily follow a mix between Hellenistic and Canaanite practices and rituals under the context of Goetia (a mix between the spirits found within The Lemegeton and practices and practice of Goetia found in Ancient Greece). My Patron is King Paimon, but I also follow Lucifer/ʿAṯtar and Ba'al Haddad.

I believe that all of nature is divine, and that every religion is a translation of our relationships with said divinity. The complex viewpoints and differences between religions is what drives us to learn about what lies beyond the material surface - to find the abstract within. Even Non-Theists and Non-Spiritualists have their own means of interacting and viewing the world, and I seek to understand as many viewpoints as I can. And because of this constant work in understanding, I am an Omnist, even if I have defined beliefs of my own!

I am also a Unitarian Universalist. I don't believe in an eternal afterlife where souls are judged and set in neat, tight boxes; I believe that everyone's relationships are constantly changing and evolving, and that some days are more painful than the other, and some days are more blissful than the other.

And lastly, I'm a Panendeist! I believe that everything is God, even what is outside of our Universe. God, to me, is completely impersonal, but no less significant.

I'm just going to be posting my thoughts, ramblings, and whatever else I can put on here. If you have any questions let me know 🧡

🧡Meet Lizy.🧡

New character introduced, let's goooo! I am copy-pasting her UnVale introduction:

"God is all, and he saves us all" is Lizy's motto. Or, at least, it was.

Let's be honest: growing up as a hardcore Christian and meeting a Greek goddess face-to-face are not two compatible things.

Elizabeth is your typical, basically stereotypical Christian woman. Everyone is surprised she even has a degree in archaeology, given the misogyny she embraces.

She spent the first few days talking about her fiancé, how she'll become a stay-at-home mom, picking fights with Magdalene, another devout Christian woman with different worldviews, and trying to convert Tiffany (her BOSS), a pagan woman, to Christianity.

Meeting Goddess Bronthea was a brutal and undeniable reality check that most of the group had to face, but Lizy got it the hardest.

Now that she realizes her church was wrong, she's on a journey to find all the mistakes in her beliefs and more importantly, her morals.

(Basically, if Christians are allowed to write stories where people of other religions find Jesus through stories with so many plot holes and nonsense, it's a net; my pagan ass is allowed to write a story in an omnistic world where the Christian girl meets a goddess of a different religion and spoiler: still finds her way back to Jesus. She's basically deconstructing lies and becomes the person she thought she was.)
