I joined a new age magic server out of boredom/curiosity last night, and no joke, an "empath" there told me my aura was pitch black and spiritually upsetting. It is the funniest thing someone has ever described to me.

Scientific Proof Tarot Works

When I first began to see signs in the cards while playing poker, I couldn’t understand why God would want me to use the skill in that way. I wasn’t comfortable ignoring the logical, mathematical approach to the game and couldn’t forget the fact that the book which taught me the meanings of the cards says that you should not use the deck of playing cards which you use for tarot to play games. I…

Kundalini Yoga is the backbone of all religions, their scientific analysis based on it can stop the growing mistrust among these

Kundalini Yoga is the backbone of all religions, their scientific analysis based on it can stop the growing mistrust among these

Brahmins had a main role in protecting the scriptures from the invaders Many a times, bigoted people make a big ruckus out of small conflicting things. The recent anti-Brahmin articles written on the walls of Delhi’s Jawaharlal University (JNU) is a recent example of this. It is known to all that it would not have been written by the so-called backward castes. This appears to be a conspiracy by…

List of interesting ressources pertaining to norse paganism, scandinavian folklore and history, and nordic religions in general

These are sources I have personally used in the context of my research, and which I've enjoyed and found useful. Please don’t mind if I missed this or that ressource, as for this post, I focused solely on my own preferences when it comes to research. I may add on to this list via reblog if other interesting sources come to my mind after this has been posted. Good luck on your research! And as always, my question box is open if you have any questions pertaining to my experiences and thoughts on paganism.

The channel "The Wisdom of Odin", aka Jacob Toddson, is a known supporter of pseudo scientific theories and of the AFA, a folkist and white-supremacist organization, and he's been known to hold cult-like, dangerous rituals, as well as to use his UPG as truth and to ask for his followers to provide money for his building some kind of "real life viking hall", as supposedly asked to him by Óðinn himself. A source to avoid. But more on that here.)

B'Elanna, Neelix, Tuvok and Chakotay needed to star in an episode where they just talked about their different beliefs and approaches to spirituality/religion. Paired off and all together. I need to gain more insight. I need characterization and I need it to be messy.

#B'Elanna's difficulty with Klingon myths and religion (especially due to her internalized racism) #Chakotay's current strong belief in his own spirituality despite his initial complete rejection of it (and how B'Elanna seems to admire #and have talked with Chakotay about it extensively in the past given how many specifics she's aware of) #Neelix's belief in an afterlife being the only thing that comforted him after his entire family was killed - the knowledge that he would be #able to reunite with them again and that knowledge being ripped away from him #Does he still believe? Are there other aspects of his previous spiritual beliefs that are thrown into question? #Just because it isn't 'real' does it make it unimportant? How do we even know whether or not it's 'real'? #He died and doesn't remember reaching that tree and seeing his family - does that mean it didn't happen? #Tuvok's line in 'Innocence' about how he's begun to have doubts about whether or not a katra exists and what happens after someone dies #and his firm ties to Vulcan spirituality and ritual #ALL SO INTERESTING!!!!!!!! #star trek voyager #I don't think it'd be a calm or healthy conversation either - they're not therapists and I don't think anyone but Chakotay #would be particularly careful with his words #and before you say Tuvok's a Vulcan so he would be let me remind you that Tuvok told B'Elanna to her face that he thought Klingons #were basically savages - he is INDELICATE to say the least #Neelix is careful with his words bc he's a people pleaser for survival but also he has a tendency to bother people and be overly pushy #and I think he'd do a lot of research and be the one leading the conversation/the reason they get on the topic and continue on it #B'Elanna wouldn't want to talk about it. She wants to talk about it the least. But she must!!!! Bc the episode demands it!! #st voy

Wish we could have seen a Kendra-Faith discussion on their philosophies toward slaying because like yes they're opposites in some ways but they've also both fully accepted their slayerhood as a core part of their identities in a way that takes Buffy a long time

#like i think kendra would be against the whole we don't need the law want take have thing #not bc she's against breaking rules or even breaking the law but bc she thinks that they need to hold themselves accountable #in a way that many people in power don't #and i think she would jab faith about taking her training more seriously beyond just the fighting skills #and learning more history/research and mental/spiritual stuff #but I also think that she would agree with Faith about slaying being fun and they would get so into training together #and get competitive about everything #idk i would have liked to see it #kendra young #faith lehane #btvs #buffy #buffy the vampire slayer

Wanting to use words with scientific concepts and theories behind them in your practice-when they don't apply- is not a simple matter of "difference of opinion" or a "difference in approach".

If you want your spirituality to "hold hands with science" that's fine. That's valid. But using scientific concepts as buzzwords to simply make your practice sound more scientific is not that.

It is the opposite of that.

The AWEsome Tarot Journal by Rachel Hoyt

As an Amazon affiliate, I earn from qualified purchases. I wanted to take a moment today to tell you a bit more about my latest publication: the AWEsome Tarot Journal. It’s a guided journal for anyone interested in practicing fortune telling with playing cards. It contains two poems that I wrote so I could “rhyme to remember” the tarot meanings of each playing card and features images from the…

While I’m at it, I was quite sorry to hear that new pagans, or non-pagans that are looking into the path, are finding it difficult to do some research on Thórr without seeing so much Marvel stuff. I know that I’ve talked about similar pop culture topics in the past, so right now I’ll just focus on the research part! If you’re using the internet for research, it’s possible to use the “-marvel” tip to eliminate from your search results any article containing the term “Marvel”. I find that it’s useful using key words to specify exactly which Thórr you’re looking into, such as “deity”, “mythology” and the like. It’s not ideal, but it works well if you’re just looking for a broader picture of Thórr as a deity. I find that it’s great for beginners to look into his different attestations, for example, by looking up exactly which historical texts he appears and how reliable these texts and their authors are. From there, it’s possible to find paper or online versions of these texts (either sagas, eddas and the like; basically, any historical records of his myth or worship) and to read them for yourself! Afterwards, to really dive deeper into Thórr, or any deity for that matter, it’s also great (if not necessary!) to look up what modern research and archeology have amounted to. There’s merit in learning from the learned!

Attention to the spirituality people of tumblr I’ve been under Hel and Loki for four years now and recently Hades has reached out to me

I’m not entirely sure where to start in terms of alters and offerings and getting more contact with him as well as officially knowing where to start in terms of working with him in general

If there’s any advice for research spots please dm me :)
