I’d consider myself somewhere between spiritual and maybe kind of pagan, idk

Most of my practice revolves around plants and crystals (no I’m not going to sell you some alternative medicine bullshit, science and spirituality are separate and any mixture doesn’t end well) ex catholic so I burrow small aspects from that but tend to avoid it mostly. Been looking into deities lately but haven’t integrated any into my primary stuff yet.

Also been doing stuff with a tarot deck lately, that’s been fun

    Since we are not human, we have a completely different outlook on spirituality and religion.

    Humans would most likely mark us ‘pagan’ and ‘witchy’ but for us these things are natural, we dance through the world with glee, enjoying all the myriad forces around us, all the ways of knowing we inherit and all that flows to and from us.

    We connect to it and there is so much love, life and beautiful things, things to be understood and those that are not.

      Hello, I would like to subscribe to your “dancing through the world with glee” newsletter. That is the ideal state, as far as I’m concerned, and most of my practice is focused on getting there.

        [Joking] Step one: Be or become non human.

        But seriously anybody even humans can do it, just have to have a positive outlook and care a lot and let go of what is expected of you (from most of society) and enjoy people, nature and the universe with love and kindness.

          Hmm… as a Buddhist, the goal is realization that every identity, including ‘human’, is not real. So, I think your first step is pretty spot on actually. Letting go of what is expected of me is certainly my biggest challenge. I am a caregiver by nature and place a lot of pressure on myself to take care of everyone and everything around me, often to my own detriment. Thank you for the reminder.

            You are welcome, hope that you take care of yourself as much as you do others and that others repay that kindness. <3
