Cat<p>Pagans do not believe in mythic literalism, meaning we don't think that the stories in the myths actually happened. It's the reason we're able to practice together under one umbrella, even though we have wildly different beliefs. We recognize that no single set of myths is the "right" one. Or rather, they are *all* right.</p><p>Our myths are lessons about our collective experience told through words and symbols. They tell us what being human is like, what kind of situations we might be in, feelings we might feel, and what kinds of consequences are produced when we interact with the world. It is through those lessons that we can reach through time and space to recognize the formulas and forces that connect us all.</p><p><a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/Paganism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Paganism</span></a></p>

Cat<p>Being able to read is not a requirement of paganism. It may seem that way when a newcomer asks, "Where do I start?" and we all answer by naming books, but you don't have to actually read to become a Pagan. </p><p>A majority of people (in the USA) read below a 6th grade level. So when we insist on reading ancient codexes and studying college-level textbooks, it turns many people away. </p><p>In the USA, illiteracy is protected under the Americans with Disabilities Act, which means that a reasonable accommodation is expected. Pagans do not discriminate, so we cannot expect everyone to read complex texts.</p><p>So next time someone interested in paganism asks, "Where do I start?" consider giving them practical advice instead of a list of book titles. Consider offering to chat and talk to them one-on-one. I'd like to see paganism move a little away from academia and more toward community.</p><p><a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/Pagan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Pagan</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/paganism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>paganism</span></a></p>

Siin<p>I've been thinking a lot lately about the mind/body dualism of the West: this idea that *we* -- our consciousness, our soul, our spirit, whathaveyou -- exist in our mind and our body is this kind of meat suit we're trapped in until we die. At which point what happens depends on your spiritual framework: our soul/spirit/consciousness goes to heaven or hell, or drifts about aimlessly in the world, or achieves some kind of gnosis, or disappears altogether. </p><p>But this dualism has led to us viewing our bodies as either sinful and vile at worst or benignly useless (spiritually) at best. Body becomes sensationalized: the source of sin, or a sensual commodity. Two sides to the same coin, really. </p><p>And this means that disassociation from body kind of becomes the norm. A dualism once rooted in pious religiosity becomes a convenient tool for colonial capitalism to exploit. We go about days completely ignorant to sensation: either avoiding the awareness of discomfort on purpose out of necessity, or unconsciously out of the complete unawareness of how to connect with it. </p><p>But what if we acknowledged that our body is divine, is *us* - or at least a very crucial part of us - is the vessel through which we perceive and experience divinity? What changes? </p><p>In my own journey the reclamation of body has been a critical step in finding agency, healing, accountability, sacred connection with other beings. It has shifted my perception of what it means to be human, to exist within a natural and collective framework. Because if my body is a divine vessel, so is yours, and theirs, and so on. Not only do we end up needing to acknowledge the value of consciousness, but of corporeality. </p><p>Which voids conceptions of a hierarchy of consciousness that enable us to devalue other beings: just because something might not be *as sentient* doesn't mean it is less *divine* or less *perceptive*. And a world of harmonious recognition and sacred accountability opens up where we honor the needs of our body and our agency as well as those of everything around us. </p><p>If you perform a thought experiment where you shift your perspective in this direction, what does this change in your life? </p><p><a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/Paganism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Paganism</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/Discussions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Discussions</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/Spirituality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Spirituality</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/Consciousness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Consciousness</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/Morality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Morality</span></a></p>
Lydia Vvinters<p>A special Garden Grimoire for those spirits that flourish with the flora. 💚 </p><p>It's been a long day, but I'm so amused by designing these. A friend of mine who loves to draw and sketch plants requested this design. I can't wait to stalk her and take pictures as she's huddled in an awkward position in the garden to do her sketches in style. 😎 </p><p><a href="https://www.redbubble.com/i/notebook/Garden-Grimoire-by-OddlyWitchy/166691487.RXH2R" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">redbubble.com/i/notebook/Garde</span><span class="invisible">n-Grimoire-by-OddlyWitchy/166691487.RXH2R</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/advertising" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>advertising</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/fedigiftshop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fedigiftshop</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/witch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>witch</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/witchcraft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>witchcraft</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/pagan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pagan</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/paganism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>paganism</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/garden" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>garden</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gardening</span></a></p>
