"Aphrodite loves terfs" do you really think a goddess of love formed from a literal penis and the mother of Hermaphroditus, an intersex god who was associated with androgyny and feminine men, fucks around with transphobia?
she is a literal trans icon and to deny that will get you smited by all the gods

I haven’t been interacting with the online Heathen community. Like at all. There’s so much drama and hostility over the stupidest shit.
“Oh, well actually you can’t worship them cause they didn’t have any followers 4,000 years ago!”
“Why do they have to have such a negative reputation?!”
Like, bro, who gives a shit?
If I feel a connection with a deity, I’m gonna worship and interact with them and as of 2022, they will have followers👌🏻
And there are so many people love and connect with “dark” deities. Who gives a shit about what some asshole wrote in a book 40 fucking years ago? Do you think a God really cares that some random ass human insulted them?
Why are you so fucking insecure in your worship — why are you so desperate to prove that you and your deities are good?
If you want to be good then how really being good, doing research, and changing people’s minds? It is fucking possible.
Don’t fucking yell at people who buy crystals because companies are exploiting slave labor. TELL US who those companies are, so we know not to buy from them instead of fucking demonizing a whole community.
Stop telling us that there are racists and ableist assholes in the witch community, and therefore witches are bad. Focus on the assholes and their harmful practices — call them out and leave the fucking rest of us alone.
Honestly, recons have ruined Heathenry for me. Cause I’ll just post some cool random fact that I learned, and they’ll swoop in correcting me and tell me why its bad because of something that happened 4,000 years ago, and pile on a massive booklist I need to read if I want to do things the ✨right✨way.
“Oh, but the way that author is controversial cause they used to be a fascist so avoid their early work and you really want this translation of this book even though its harder read cause it just makes more sense.”
When I do come across a random Heathenry post I just read it and move on. I don’t comment especially if I see a situation headed south. And I’ve learned that I need to ask questions instead of assuming I know everything because I read some article on Google.
I feel ready to start interacting in the Heathen community. By only following people that make me happy and comfortable, and by keeping my fucking mouth shut unless its my own post.
