#pagan rant

I wish there was like a way to filter out all posts that include violent or hateful words or sentiments directed at the gods

I didn't want to give Cernunnos wine because I don't drink and so I cannot do the ritual I have in mind properly with it.

I don't want to use coins as he isn't my patron deity, I was thinking of burying coins but that's not good for the environment.

Offering stones didn't seem right either as he's a deity of nature so it would basically be taking a stone from him just to give it back.

I'm also not quite comfortable with the idea of dead animals (I can't even stand looking at roadkill, let alone anything else)

So I spoke with the higher ups in my coven, and they said to try and ask Cernunnos directly what he wants and what I could give him. I got nothing about offerings, but I did get a new perspective on Ostara that is coming up soon.

Here’s a fact:

People have moved from 2,000+ miles away just to attend Greg Lockes cult tent.

How do I know?

I live in the area.

From Arizona to Tennessee. Left their jobs. Their family. Tore their children from their schools. Left everything they’ve known. Just to attend his cult tent. And subject their children to it.

“Why’d you move out here?”

“God told me to.”

No. Locke did. Locke is a cult leader. And a poor one at best.

People have uprooted their entire lives just to hear rage rants in person very week.

To hear how autistic people are possessed. How books need to be burned. How witches need to be hunted. How women need to be property. And how Christian’s are apparently somehow oppressed.

This is what people are uprooting their entire lives for. But we’re the hateful ones? We’re the ones who need to stop? We’re the ones oppressing??? RIGHT. LOGICAL. Not a manipulated mindset AT ALL. Cool.

We’re the misguided ones yet they’re literally moving their whole lives across the country just to commit idolatry & then tell everyone else they’re going to hell for committing idolatry because most people just so happen to live in the real world.

Wild. Fkn. Wild.

We’re misguided for being educated. For demanding accommodation. For demanding the world starts allowing autistic people to live comfortably & unapologetically. For demanding religious coexistence and perspective. For demanding women be treated as humans. And for demanding the actual T R U T H.

We’re misguided for wanting humans to progress as a species? To stop destroying each other? Wtf???

I understand many things to a fault. It’s a gift and a curse to understand so much without judgement. This though. This one. This is one I will not accept and I will judge it indefinitely.

Yet that’s not helpful. Cult leaders keep cult members by instilling fear of the outside world.

The outside world needs to show cult members there’s kindness outside of their organization. The outside world isn’t as scary as they’ve been misguided to believe.

I can’t stand these people. But I can’t help but understand them either. I can’t help but know I need to show them kindness if I ever want to see a future where this kind of hate doesn’t exist in such a vast population.

I can’t stand that I understand them & I can’t morally stand that I need to be nice to them. I can’t stand that I need to be the change I want to see in this regard.

And I really can’t stand that human nature has allowed for such a comforting, spirit lifting idea such as spiritual thought to turn into something so hateful, oppressive, murd3r0us, and malicious.

Religion will be the foundation that built the self destruct button of the human race — if we can’t find compromise and perspective of & for one another.

I saw some truly terrible takes on who and what Pazuzu is, and I just want to say that presuming to know the mind and motivations of any spirit is ridiculous. Also, I think it would be very difficult to assign blanket “evil” to any entity, but most especially an entity called on for apotropaic reasons to protect children.

My inner child: help I’m not feeling safe

Everyone: SELF SABOTAGE REGRET YOUR PAST RELATIONSHIPS BOTH PLATONIC AND ROMANTIC, FOCUS ON HOW YOU ARE SO FAT AND DISGUSTING THAT NO ONE NOT EVEN THE IMAGINARY CRUSHES YOU HAVE WILL FUCK YOU. YOU ARE ALONE YOUR FAMILY HATES YOU.

Me & My Higher Self to my Inner Child: Hey, hey hey hey.... why don’t focus on clearing up your space? Listen to some good music, and perhaps color in our anxiety book? Or better yet watch Ratched afterwards, or take a nap?

My Inner Child: ...yeah that seems nice... :)

*and that is on s h a d o w w o r k as well as meditating on edibles*

I am not Ready for the winter holiday season. Nope. Not ready. Dealing with all of the karens at my job bitching about me not saying merry Christmas, and then all of the new bs holiday drinks I have to make... *Shudder.*

society: cool! you do you! :)

me, a pagan cryptid: i believe in magick, aliens, dragons, spirits, the multiverse theory and past lives.
