I'm going to let you in on a secret.
If meditation is a part of your spiritual practice, and if you think you're bad at it.
Guess what?
We're all bad at it.

Friendly reminder that anything you do for holidays is valid! A lot of pagan holidays, and holidays in general, are coming up very fast and you may feel guilty for not participating as much as you'd hoped but it's fine! Any amount of prep or practice you do is enough! There is no one way to practice and sometimes, the best way to celebrate a holiday is to take a break
There's always a lot of talk about holidays and how people are going to celebrate on the day. Don't feel pressured to have your own plans.

Dear Tumblr. I support the right to putting yourself and your body first. I support making choices that are good for yourself simply because you are the most important person in your own life.
Please stop suggesting "tradwives". I am literally everything they hate

The Yen Buddhists are the richest religious sect in the universe. They hold that the accumulation of money is a great evil and burden to the soul. They therefore, regardless of personal hazard, see it as their unpleasant duty to acquire as much as possible in order to reduce the risk to innocent people.

Force Ghosts as Enlightened beings, each representing a Theme
Tumblr media
This meta presents a theory that all characters who become Force Ghosts were reincarnated souls close to nirvana that needed to master one final lesson before becoming eternal in the Force.
Once they do, they are allowed to become Force Ghosts, serving as bodhisattva-like entities for the Galaxy. I propose Jedi (or force-sensitives) are these particular reincarnated souls close to nirvana. This explains their "powers" in the SW universe. Importantly, only a few of even the Jedi are close enough to nirvana to reach Enlightenment - thus becoming Force Ghosts.
A bodhisattva is a person or entity who can reach nirvana but they basically stay behind to help assuage the suffering of others. As a follower of buddhism, I have always sort of assigned the Force Ghosts this role in Star Wars because even out of the Jedi they are special. This is only my personal interpretation and application of the concepts mishmashed with Star Wars. To me, each of them represents a Master over a different version of Suffering.
In their latest incarnations (aka the Jedi characters we know them by) they are tasked with trials and tribulations by the Force that are intended to be insurmountable, these tasks are intended to test them to see if are ready to leap over that final hurdle towards Enlightenment so they can act as guides to humanity (bodhisattva-like entities or Force Ghosts).
They are already all good people- but to reach this final stage requires immense inner balance and understanding of the true Way (as reflected by the Eight-Fold Path). The EFP is a buddhist guidance system which does not rely on concepts of "good" or "evil" but rather personal integrity and things like "right effort", "right intention" which can include taking actions or POVs which may be seen as morally ambiguious to others. This guidance system is used to prevent "the painful cycle of rebirth" and free oneself from, essentially, physical/psychological/spiritual deja vu.
Obi-wan: Forgiveness
Tumblr media
Obi-wan begins his journey as a Jedi as an uppity, arrogant young man. He is portrayed in TPM as rule-follower with an intense dislike of deviation from "the books" so to speak, and is baffled by his Master's lackadaisical adherence to the Code. He finds it difficult to bend tradition and holds himself to very high standards of his own design.
He meets Anakin who is his litmus test, his foil, and his eventual partner. It has been said many times that Anakin taught Obi-wan adventure, energy, freedom, flexibility. His other half. The one person he finds purpose with and literally cannot live without. So what does the Force serve him? Betrayal. He is betrayed by Anakin. His rock. His defining partner. The person by whom he defines himself.
Not only has Anakin failed, but ergo he himself failed. An insurmountable grief it takes him years to come to terms with.
How does one learn forgiveness? To find detachment from the need to hold onto grief? To anger? To sorrow? To define oneself by loss as much as by love?
To free those who need forgiveness (ourselves or others), one must free oneself from judgement - judgement of ourselves and others. This judgement comes from a desire for control. This is Obi-wan's journey.
And each time Obi-wan succeeds - he forgives Maul for the murder of Qui-gon and Satine, and helps him die with compassion. He understands Maul's pain, even if his actions were painful. He knows it truly has nothing to do with him. Experiencing emotional pain is different from mentally centering oneself as the target of suffering.
He has an extremely important conversation with Maul here. As Maul is dying he asks Kenobi, "Is he the Chosen One?" to which Obi-wan replies, he is. Maul, with relief, dies in his arms with the last words, "He will avenge us all."
This exchange is extremely important! Not only does Obi-wan make the step to forgive Maul, but through that effort he gains more understanding of Anakin and Vader (his biggest hurdle!). He gets closer to overcoming his greatest challenge.
Along the way he forgives Padme for lying to him about her marriage to Anakin and raises her children. He forgives himself for the blame he carries for Qui-gon's death and Anakin's fall. He forgives Anakin.
Until finally, most importantly, he forgives Vader by realizing there is still light in him, too. That Vader suffered and is a Being of suffering, made of suffering, making others suffer.
He has compassion for Vader! Because one only suffers if they have goodness in them, if they are in moral conflict with themselves. And so he understands Anakin has always been there in Vader. He is not lost and never has been.
This is why he smiles when he dies. He knows neither of them are lost. The circle is now complete. He reaches Enlightenment.
This is how Obi-wan becomes a master of Forgiveness.
Anakin: Balance
Tumblr media
Anakin of course is a demi-god and agent of the Force's will. His entire life he is torn between two ends of a spectrum. IMO if we follow Buddhist tradition in this example, the Force is the entirety of dark and light, all-encompassing, the unit, the whole. There is no nominal "good" or "evil", just well-intended deeds and unwell-intended, failures and successes, both dependent one another.
As an agent of the Force with no real "free will" Anakin is tossed back and forth between extremes and opposites his entire life, fighting desperately for an identity and freedom. The Sith or the Jedi. Obi-wan or Padme. His mother or his duties. Ahsoka or the Council. Republic or Separatists. Sage or Warrior. The Son or the Daughter. Anakin or Vader. Good or Bad. Slave or Master.
This duality tortures him until he finally accepts something most people cannot accept or comprehend about themselves (even the Sith and Jedi): he is both.
We all must balance and accept we belong to the dark and the light, to every edge of our desires, to take responsibility for ourselves - without judgement, to stop fighting, stop warring with ourselves and one another, to see we are all struggling, and to most importantly, not become slaves to our engineered suffering.
When he dies, like Obi-wan, he is smiling, because he sees his son Luke. The person who was able to finally help him see he is not a monster, torn and tortured - he is just a person, like everyone else; and he is the Force, like everyone else.
This is how Anakin becomes a master of Balance.
Luke: Failure
Tumblr media
Luke's arc really is intriguing and my personal favorite. He is a wunderkind and Light of the galaxy. He is revered, worshipped, loved, -- he can do no wrong.
But soon, the Force begins to test him. Grogu rejects his teaching. His Jedi Academy fails. He finds himself distanced from Leia and Han. He takes on the apprentice Ben Solo and fails spectacularly to protect him from the Dark.
He considers ending Ben's life, in a mirror to Vader's slaughter of the younglings, and comes to the personal notion that the Jedi way itself is corrupt. If it wasn't, wouldn't it protect these souls? These children? Wouldn't it make him strong enough to resist that urge.
He feels the Jedi Way (or any adherence to a Way that creates duality) is what corrupted not only him, his father, his nephew, his relationships, but the whole galaxy. He is convinced the Jedi need to end and flees to isolation.
He considers himself a failure to his father, his legacy, his apprentice (Rey), his masters, Obi-wan, Ben, and the Galaxy.
Yet when he seeks to burn the sacred texts he hesitates. Yoda appears to make it clear to him. The greatest teacher failure is.
Luke the Wonderboy needed to face the fact that he was fallable man, not just Luke Skywalker: untouchable son of the Chosen One.
When he faces Ben Solo he accepts that he failed. He wants Ben to know it is okay to fail.
To fall.
And that is how he eventually saves his nephew and gains Enlightenment. The Order fell, not the Jedi way (aka "goodness"). And that's okay, because the Order was only an institution. Maybe it was wrong and corrupt.
And so from that Luke understands the Jedi Way did not fail, he did. And that's okay, even if he's Luke Skywalker.
He says "See you around, kid" because he knows with this last lesson he has finally given hope to a new generation of Force-sensitives. He knows he will not be the last Jedi.
This is how he becomes a Master of Failure.
Leia: Acceptance
Tumblr media
We don't get to see much of Leia's life on screen but it is easy to surmise what her lesson from the Force is. Fierce, independent, fiery Leia, rebel leader Leia, who is convinced she can do or achieve anything - must learn to accept things she cannot change. Must give up control. Understand that some things are unchangeable. Some things you cannot fight.
Leia cannot know her birth parents (Obi-wan tells her only what he can). Leia cannot save Alderaan (an impossible choice). Leia cannot save her son Ben.
It doesn't matter if there is still light in Ben (she can't save him alone and must have Han). She cannot bring Luke back alone (she needs Rey to do that). She cannot save Han (he sacrifices himself). She cannot win the war (that is left to another generation).
No matter how hard she fights, she must admit to herself there is no winning, no "end" to conflict. That the conflict and need to heal it is also within herself.
Leia the fighter must finally lay down her arms. And how does she finally bring her son back to the light? Not kicking, not flailing, not burning into the night - no, she literally lays down, and rests. She finally rests, giving the last of her life to help him survive Rey's saberhit.
And that's when Ben finally hears her.
Leia dies at peace, asleep. Knowing she will never again see her son, knowing the war is not won, knowing Alderaan is not entirely avenged, knowing she cannot fight her way through the truth. Having to accept her effort was enough, even if they never outright win. That winning is not victory, but simply a resolve.
This is how she becomes a Master of Acceptance.
Qui-gon: Responsibility
Tumblr media
With Qui-gon we go briefly to the EU here. Qui-gon was considered for the Council but rejected it on the basis that he would not align with their POVs. He was a freethinker and disliked the Council's orthodoxy and adherence to the Senate's will. This stems from his suspicion about them following Dooku's fall, which wounded him deeply.
He trains Obi-wan but is so damaged from the absence of his Master Dooku that he stays distant and unattached to Obi-wan, causing the boy to seek perfection to obtain respect from his peers. He shirks the Council and insists on training Anakin. He makes jokes of levity about "not being there to free slaves". He leaves Shmi on Tatooine.
Qui-gon avoids responsibility because he does not want to disappoint anyone as Dooku did. He does not entirely trust the Council, either. He can't stand the idea of that failure and is so, so damaged by it. And so, he never commits to anything and rejects responsibility.
So what does the Force hit him with? Maul. The first Sith in ages. And Anakin. The freaking Chosen One. The two biggest responsibilities to ever exist in their time!
He is tasked with protecting the Queen of Naboo and preventing an all-out Galactic War!
When he dies, fighting the first Sith in memory, he finally is putting his money where his mouth is. He steps up and sacrifices himself for his beliefs. He begs Obi-wan to train Anakin, knowing his importance and commiting his only padawan to that belief.
He is the one who figures out how to become a Force Ghost! He is tasked with training all the masters and sent back to rehabilitate Obi-wan in the desert - his apprentice who deserved his attention long ago. And he gives it, taking responsibility and committing to Obi-wan.
This is how he learns to be a Master of Responsibility.
Yoda: Loss
Tumblr media
And of course, last but not least, Yoda.
In a lot of "anti Jedi"-centric meta is it pointed out Yoda had a huge part in the making of the past 900 years and thus takes a large chunk of responsibility for the path of the Jedi/Sith through the SW timeline.
The fact that Yoda has an enormous influence on the ebb and flow of the SW universe is undeniable at least. Yoda's attachment to the Jedi Order and way, to the outcome of continual balance, to the search for Force-sensitives, to teaching, to leading the Council is something the Force needed to challenge to test Yoda.
Of course we know Sidious defeats Yoda and the Order crumbles. Yoda himself admits the Jedi's attachment to the war, Senate, and rules contributed to the end of the Order as they knew it. He was blind to Sidious' plans because Sidious preyed on Yoda's weakness -- his faith in institutions. Sidious became the institution, something Yoda would never suspect. I am the Senate.
In the end, Yoda dies a hermit. At peace at last. No Order to serve, yet he gets over his shame and fear of his failure and starts again by training Luke. He warns Luke he will be scared. Just as he was to lose the Light, Goodness, and Order of the World. And that fear is sometimes the biggest challenge and roadblock of all.
He leaves Luke with one final warning, no longer a Jedi High Master but an old reclusive man living in a bog.
"There is another," Yoda says. He means Leia, of course, but symbolically he is always giving Luke pivotal life advice that he has finally come to understand after 900 years.
Whatever way you think you must go, never forget there is another.
Let it go if you must.
Fighting endlessly to keep something is sometimes much less valueable than letting it go.
And never forget that this alternate path might be worth walking.
This is how he becomes a Master of Loss.
-
Of course there are only the Force Ghosts we have seen on screen! So assumedly others may also reach Enlightenment.

Ancestor Work
Ancestor work is all about connecting with yourself and your culture! Thus, a good start into it is the food. Food has always brought people together and is a huge signifier of someone’s culture since there are so many varieties of food spanning so many cultures. Personally, I have been doing this by looking at old family recipes that have been passed from ancestors into the modern age. It is the easiest and fastest way to make sure your culture stays alive in some way. If you don’t have old family recipes to look at, you can find recipes online from those that share your culture. It’s not quite the same but it’s a step in the right direction
The next step I would personally take is familiarizing yourself with any mythology or folklore of the culture. Looking into what impacted the culture, why and how they ended up the way they did, their cultural boogeyman, anything about the primary religion(s), holidays, anything you can think of that links to the folklore. For me, this meant familiarizing myself with the history of important holidays, figuring out how Catholicism impacted how they addressed certain happenings, any stories commonly told to kids. I was lucky enough to have my culture survive through to me, although some of the same culture didn’t have that, so I don’t have to dig too hard to find this.
From there, you can look at the history and traditions of the peoples. Looking deeper into your roots can be very beneficial here, just seeing how far back you can track your lineage would be huge. It can show you a little more of where you come from and give you more clues as to what the lives of these ancestors were like. Again, I am incredibly lucky to have this already done for me, my grandparents took it upon themselves to trace back their lineage as far back as the possibly could. Through just birth records, I can see the passage my ancestors took to get to Louisiana, they had a baby born in Alabama and the next was in Eunice. I can see that my ancestors were very wealthy, they had a good amount of land and prospects in Nova Scotia and it came with them. My family actually owns about half of the land that Eunice currently stands on! Most of that land is neighborhood now but it is incredibly fascinating to learn about. 
Final step is to just follow any loose threads or vague references. Follow insticts and your ancestors will guide you on this journey. More personal experience, but while I was choosing names, I found myself trying to change my last name to an older family name. There were a lot to choose from and it ultimately came down to what I believed sounded the nicest with the rest of my name. 
Safe Travels and Blessed Be! Remember to look after yourself and feel free to add anything you feel is important or that I skipped!

Why Buddhism?
Often, I am asked why I decided to convert to Buddhism. The answer to this question is, of course, complex and requires a degree of explanation.
I have always had an interest in religion and philosophy. I found that Christianity failed to answer most of the questions I had about the world around me - and growing up in conservative America, it was regarded as the default. Also, as a member of the LGBT community, I found myself alienated from Christianity. Though I never was a Christian, I knew and understood that it was not going to be a welcoming place for me to explore my beliefs.
I began to explore alternative spiritualities like witchcraft and Wicca, and felt quite welcome in those circles. They were Queer-positive and provided a meaningful alternative to the Christian-centric world I was growing up in. It was in this time that I cultivated an interest in the practice of meditation.
This interest would introduce me to the world of Asian philosophy. I familiarized myself first with Yoga and some Hindu perspectives, and from there began to learn about Buddhism.
I was enthralled by the teachings (Dhamma) of the Buddha. I found that his explanations and Buddhist practices suited my life perfectly. The Dhamma gave me the tools I needed to help soothe my mental illness, motivated me to act with more kindness and love, all while providing me with a satisfying lifelong intellectual pursuit. I wanted to create a blog to share my thoughts and feelings about these teachings and how they relate to the other religions and philosophies of the world. I hope that I garner an audience who enjoys reading my thoughts.

Simple Celebrations for Holidays
Please pardon the autoimmune brain fog haze I'm writing from, but I wanted to pass along what I wish I could go back in time and tell myself about planning holidays. Especially for those holidays I skipped when I didn't have friends to celebrate it with because it's totally possible to have a fun meaningful holiday without anyone celebrating with you.
When I was younger, I think I felt like solo holidays didn't count and for the ones I didn't grow up with I always felt like I wasn't doing enough. But I realize now it's so much more about what is enough to you personally and lowering your enough bar to meet what you're reasonably able to do is where the magic happens.
I also think I thought that most of the holiday had to be based in tradition or spirituality - and I will say it's great when that's an option - but I realize now that even historically that only made up a portion of a given holiday to most lay folks, not the entire thing.
Why Celebrate Holidays
You definitely don't have to be any means. I spent many years barely celebrating most holidays and wasn't adversely impacted.
But I will say as I've gotten older and adult life itself isn't quite as exciting, novel, or interesting as it once was, holidays are really nice for differentiating the time. Especially when you do something a little different from year to year it really helps to mark out which era was which. If you're younger, that might sound silly to not be able to tell the years apart but they really do start to bleed together as you get older.
Historically, people still celebrated holidays even in terrible circumstances. It gave them something to do, a way back into the rhythm of their lives, a connection to the past, present, and future. In all the chaos we're living through right now, holidays offer us the same. A little way to take some control back and connect us even when we're apart.
Also, if you're anything like me, sometimes you need a reason to get up and treat yourself because it's not something you're great at otherwise.
Pick 1 or 2 things to Cook
Bonus points if these are variations you switch up each holiday. I've been fucking loving making bundt cakes for each occasion. Pick a seasonal ingredient to feature.
Low energy? Pick a convenience food or take out that contains the seasonal ingredient or seems appropriate in some way. Our go to Epiphany meal for many years has been take out from our favorite Indian place.
Pick 1 or 2 Spiritual Activities
My go to are tarot readings and feeding spirits. If the land is active, I try to feed the land spirits outside. If the land is dormant, I focus on house spirits and ancestors. For All Souls Day or the Octave of it, we've been going to a Catholic cemetery and saying a rosary for the souls in purgatory.
Prayers, votives and petitions, some types of spell work, casting astrological charts, local folk traditions for good luck and protection, and deity work are all things I've used at some point or another.
Pick 1 or 2 Fun Seasonal Activities
I think getting outside in some way is one of the most straight forward ways to celebrate this one. There's something about just going on a long walk and seeing what the land is doing that really sets the tone. Leaf collecting and pressing is a fun one to do in fall. Flower pressing is fun in spring. Taking pictures of what you see is a treat too.
Games are a good one for this. There's a lot of affordable and fun solo table top games so even if you're celebrating alone there are options. And of course, me being me, I like seasonal solo RPGs when I'm able to decide on one; they're especially fun for the winter holidays when it's harder to get outside. I like to get off of screens but some videos games are thematically appropriate or may even have holiday events - Animal Crossing is one.
Low energy? A book, show, or movie that reflects the season or holiday meaning is a great option. I've been collecting and doing puzzles with seasonal images on them. It doesn't take a lot of brain power for me to do them. Small ones are quick to do and relatively cheap to pick up.
Bonus: If you're able, donate or volunteer.
This could be to a relevant org or just an individual who needs it. Consider writing and sending a letter for a program like Letters Against Isolation or the World Needs More Love Letters.
Bonus: Decorations
I like to bring cuttings and things I've collected on my long walks inside when I can. Origami decorations are pretty accessible and fun to make. I've decorated with handwriting my favorite seasonal poems and putting them up. 7 day candles are fairly cheap to pick up (our Dollar Tree has them) and easy to decorate and serve as a focal point.
Other Tips
Especially if you're celebrating solo, take pictures. It can be tough for holidays to feel like proper occasions when there's not other people to celebrate with but creating memories and reflecting on them afterwards is one of the main joys when I've celebrated solo. Even if you don't share the pictures, having them to look back on really solidify the memories for me. I also like journaling throughout the day for the same reason.
Small splurges add up. Back when I lived in places that actually had bathtubs (I don't know what my family has against bath tubs but there basically are none in this house) - I made a point to take a nice long bath on holidays. Even If just did that, had a nice meal, pulled some cards, and watched themed movie, it really would feel like something special after the fact since I rarely do all of those things together.
Doing something better than doing nothing. Whatever you choose to do counts. Start small and build traditions up year to year.
Example: Lughnasadh
My current plan for Lughnasadh is:
Cook: Lemon Blueberry Bundt Cake
Cook: A dish involving corn, the only local grain-ish I can eat
Spiritual: Tarot Readings
Spiritual: Feed the land spirits (preferably at dusk)
Fun: Long walk
Fun: Board games - specifically some of the ones I have with dice
Fun: (low energy alt) rewatch Tangled and do a puzzle
Donate: Child's Play Charity
Decoration: Cuttings from herbs that have flowered, maybe corn husk dolls or the like.
Conclusion
This is obviously pretty simple on the whole, but you could easily scale up form here - and I have over the years. But this is what I had to start with in order to be able to add in new traditions that I both liked and were manageable.
Hope this gives some folks some ideas. You deserve a nice little holiday even if you're celebrating all alone.
