🕯️ Spiritual Hot Take:
The most transformative spiritual experiences rarely make good social media posts.
"there is no clear evidence of Loki's worship in ancient times"
But stories were told of him - yes?
And did they make people laugh?
Did they make them squirm?
But a hearth stone was carved of him, yes?
Someone's love and time emptied into little mouth stitches and a curly mustache
They imagined him, right?
And someone looked at the sky
Saw Thiazi's eyes
And the old dwarf's toe
And saw the red one, burning bright
And named it Loki -
Right?
Does a lack of worship mean
A lack of love?
What about a million scintillating threads tying the web of stories, great and small?
What about kindling the imagination
Like wildfire
Like dandelion seeds
Blowing across a northern sky
Why does worship not mean
Deeply Beloved?
I am with Them - They are with me
Everyone who once heard a story who heard a story of a god called Loki
And told it to someone who told it someone
Until it got to me. To you. To us. That's worship. That's love to me.
mark, my words. *mark brings me my dictionary* thank you mark
“When we worship a deity, as I see it, we call upon a pool of universal power which, over generations, has been shaped into a specific form and voice by human minds.”
— @potnia-theronx // Artemis Iphigenia | Exploring mythic syncretism
this is the most concisely and accurately i’ve heard my view of the gods worded. the names and mythologies are an access point to a greater, broader power, separated and defined only by human culture and not through inherent or tangible boundaries. when i pray to Zeus-Helios i believe i am tapping into the power of the All-Father, the Maintainer of Reality, He who Gives Rise to All, specifically through one cultures’ refinement. He exists infinitely in other cultures, i just choose to worship Him in this specific way. when i worship Selene, i’m flowing down a river that leads to one source, the Moon, in which a wide variety of other rivers also flow into. hellenic polytheism is how i chose to process and interact with these forces!

stunned once again by the loophole genius
there was no perfect path. you did not get punished. your life did not unravel when you made a left turn. the memory will always be there. you can visit whenever you want. there is no alternate timeline where you made a better choice and got a happier ending. you were a little girl chasing the ice cream truck, playing hopscotch, swinging and aiming for the never ending blue. yes, the grief was waiting up ahead. but so was the miracle of saturdays in a car headed wherever you wanted to go. enough sky to wrap around every wound. friends who, despite your perennial bouts of silence, kept an ear close at all times.
callout post for "work"
"work" has done many terrible things such as
make my friend go there
make my wife go there
please spread this around we can't let "work" keep getting away with this
I truly do believe that science is not and should not be the enemy of religion. However, I also do not feel like I should always have a scientific explanation for my magic.
Some of the best parts of belief, and experience, is in the belief itself.
oh log we’re really in it now
The way most people talk about friendship is so depressing to me. It's like... friends are the people you hang out with when you haven't found the love of your life nor your purpose yet; if a friend disappears out of nowhere - oh, well, they must be busy, it's life right? No hard feelings ever, and there's not even a need to fight with or for a friend, because you don't plan nor build your life around friends, that's reserved for your partner only (and your children, of course, and the extended family). And nobody owes you anything when it comes to friends, but everyone owes everything forever (the debts are never paid) to everyone else when it comes to spouses, parents, children and siblings.
At the same time we have (and love!) books and movies where friendship is a bond as strong as love, as transformative as love; we see, also in real life, friends that save each other's lives in so many big and small ways; we have all the examples we need, and yet we choose to downplay such a great experience because... why? I mean, I know that this is amatonormativity at its best, but really, why?
