The last few years taught me many things. I spent a lot of time, despite the description of my blog, not really doing much spiritually. I got a masters degree, and then started more classes, then worked at any kind of promotion, so yeah... That being said, I noticed that I became far more spiritual than religious. Our need for religion comes from our lack of understanding of the cosmos, our desire to have answers. So we create those answers. Zeus was angry, so there were thunderstorms, etc. I remember stories of my older, now deceased family members, telling their children to get under the covers during a thunderstorm because no one should see God's wrath. With the tragedy I recently suffered, and the manner of her passing, it is very difficult to believe in any kind of benevolent deity. I cannot give any time to a sky-beast that allows that kind of pain to a woman who does not deserve it. Call it a stage of grief, but no. Just no. If there is any deity up there, then they are neutral. Add this to the election, and yeah... call it a crisis of faith. Whatever. So now I look into finding ways to help myself. I still believe in magic, because the ability our brain has to focus its energy and affect the surrounding world is very real. Too much evidence exists to the contrary. I spent some time reading about Buddhism, and wish to combine that with some form of magic that draws on my own power. One of my core tenets is that we can only affect ourselves with our energies. To affect someone else requires the use of "deity-Energy." Already said I'm not dealing with them. So, I'm looking for tools or spells that draw on us. Our power. We are the gods of this world, if we only bother to look inside and see it. Stop arguing, stop worrying about who is what, and start working together. I come here because if there is any place on the web where beefs don't seem to exist, it's Tumblr. I ask for your help, because I'm looking for a community. I grew up in church, and one of the things I loved is how strong the community was. Help me, and let's help each other, because the storm is coming, and we need to stand together. Or we will fall and fall hard.
