Metaphysics of Mattering

“Diagnostic questions you can ask to measure how much meaning in life you have:

1. What do you want to exist even if you don't?

2. How real is it? Is it really real?

3. How much of a difference do you make to it now?”

— John Vervaeke

Partaking in Tulsi puja is believed to invoke divine blessings, ushering in prosperity and nurturing spiritual growth. This sacred ritual is revered as a powerful shield against negative energies, cultivating a harmonious atmosphere within the household. The sacred Tulsi leaves serve a pivotal role in an array of religious ceremonies and rituals, intricately weaving into the spiritual fabric of Hindu traditions. These ceremonies, enriched by the sacred essence of Tulsi, transcend the mundane, symbolizing a profound connection with the divine and fostering a sense of sanctity within the tapestry of Hindu spiritual practices. The veneration of Tulsi extends beyond the physical realm, symbolizing a deeper reverence for nature, devotion to the divine, and the pursuit of a balanced and spiritually fulfilling life—a timeless tradition that resonates with the essence of Hindu spirituality.

In this final episode on post war Japan we are going to cover a whole bunch of topics. The scientists the US decided not to charge with war crimes, the Unification Church cult which mass marries people to strangers and requires its female members to have sex with the cult leader to purify their wombs, and a porn star turned attempted assassin. There is a lot in this episode so I hope you enjoy!

edit: muted notifs & locked reblogs. thanks y'all for interacting!

hey all!

i'm gonna start this post being blatantly honest lol: i forgot completely i made this blog.

i've been distant from my gods of late, save for my typical routines. i've had a rough few months, and in my efforts to reconnect with the divine on a deeper level, i finally remembered i had made this blog! so, i guess i'll reintroduce myself:

you may call me lunare (it/he/they), and i am a young worshiper of many facets of nature and divinity. on its face, you could call my practice syncretic hellenic-roman polytheism, though it's more complicated than that (as it is for many of y'all, i assume).

i'm tearing down my practice and building anew, as i have found myself stuck in my previous mode. i'm starting fresh and rebuilding (most) everything from the ground up, lol, so wish me luck in that regard!

i'm not here to teach, simply to share my experience and ask questions. i want to be part of the community here, and i'm finally, actually ready to assert myself in this space.

so:

if you are a trans/queer inclusive polytheist, pagan, or magic blog, please interact!

i would love to find some more blogs to follow!<3

Coin minted ca. 280 CE by the Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius Probus (r. 276-282). Probus is shown in the company of Sol Invictus ("Unconquered Sun"), a late form of the solar deity whose worship had been promoted by Probus' predecessor Aurelian. The birthday of Sol Invictus (Dies Natalis Solis Invicti) was traditionally celebrated on Dec. 25. On this coin, Probus, who was constantly on campaign during his brief reign, is shown prepared for battle with shield and spear, alongside Sol Invictus, who wears his characteristic radiant crown. Now in the National Museum of Denmark, Copenhagen. Photo credit: ChrisO/Wikimedia Commons.

It's kind of mind boggling to me how every time I see book recommendations for Hellenic or Roman polytheist I never see On the gods and the world by Sallust.

It may not teach practical ways of worship but it answers a lot of philosophical questions about the gods that I think we, as pagans, have at some point asked ourselves. Seriously, some of the points made by Reddit ath3ists are answered in this essay, like they're 2000 years behind.

It's very short (like 50 pages long) so if you can buy it, pirate it or get it from your local library I'd highly recommend it. Here's an audiobook in case you prefer that.

As much as I love companions supporting and encouraging Durge to defy Bhaal by reminding them of other Bhaalspawns who did that, I don't think companions truly get (and Durge can't explain to them due to a hole in their head) what Durge is not just any Bhaalspawn.

They are The Bhaalspawn, the last of their kind, the ONLY one of their kind.

Unlike other Bhaalspawn, Durge doesn't have a mortal mother, they don't have any other blood in them to dilute Bhaal's.

Durge is made of nothing but Bhaal and this is why it's so hard for them to resist him.
