🌟 intro and disclaimer for my Chinese folk religion resource guides 🌟
hey!! I’m Max and I’m a Chinese American witch building my craft around Han Chinese folk religion (CFR) traditions. thanks for stopping by!
I started learning about CFR this year bc the European neopagan practices I explored (Hellenic, Norse, etc) are lovely, but they aren’t my traditions. I wanted to build a practice that felt right. as I learn about CFR, I learn more Cantonese (so I can speak to my grandparents!) and come home to their practices (which my Christian-converted family has denied as superstition all my life.)
resources about ancient Chinese religion are really hard to come by. I want to share what I’m learning so anyone can learn more about their Chinese heritage or find a parallel for their own heritage discovery/learning. learning about CFR has been a big fat homecoming for me, lovely and badass and affirming in the most surprising ways, and I hope it’ll be meaningful for you too. 💓
I LOVE hearing about other witchy/mystic/magical/pagan people’s practices, so pop into my DMs anytime to say hi and chat about your craft! ofc, if you see any errors or have something I should add to a guide, please let me know. this is very much a learning process for me and I’m here for it. :)
I’d love reblogs from anyone bc the pagan community needs more POC craft resources out there! just know, this is NOT intended for anyone who does not have Chinese heritage (aka, boutta use our traditions -- which Christianity and racism erased from my life! -- to decorate your own spirituality for fun.) this is a cultural appropriation free zone friends.
lastly, giant shoutout to @theoryofmagick, @trueriptide, @asianwitchcraft, @fuckyeahchinesemyths, @vivisextion, @hanwitchx, @bisayawitch, @theleveretspirit, @photurisfatale, and @witches-ofcolor for being wonderful Asian magic resources/witch chat pals. head their way if you want more learning and community. 💓
