The Right to Non-Christian Secularity

About ten days ago, I wrote a series of posts regarding the difficulties Jews and people of other minority faiths encounter in western society when it comes to having our holidays respected and recognized. I got a lot of feedback from Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Jains, etc. echoing my sentiments (some of which was absolutely heartbreaking), and I have additionally seen a variety of other posts on the matter that underline my point. When reading all of the notes and comments relevant to these posts, I noticed a very similar theme reappearing time after time:

“I didn’t take off for X holiday because I’m not that religious, but the scheduling was very inconvenient for my more observant friend or family member.” 

Indeed, I had previously quoted former MLB player Gabe Kapler, who once made the justification to play baseball on Yom Kippur by saying: 

“I am not really a practicing Jew. It would be selfish to be a practicing Jew on only one day.”

It would seem that many people have been led to believe that observing a Jewish or Muslim or Hindu holiday is cheating unless you are sincerely devout. 

Well, I have an important message for those people: 

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO NON-CHRISTIAN SECULAR OBSERVANCES

This is important, so I’m going to say it again: 

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO NON-CHRISTIAN SECULAR OBSERVANCE

Think of all the times you have been chided by secular Christian friends for not celebrating Christmas.

“It’s not really even a religious holiday anymore,” people will tell you. “It’s just a nice time for families to get together and celebrate.” 

Well, guess what? So is Rosh Hashanah. So is Eid. So is Diwali. 

A secular Jew might not want to go to synagogue on Rosh Hashanah, but that doesn’t mean they don’t want to fly home for Rosh Hashanah dinner to be with their family. 

A non-practicing Muslim may have lost interest in regular religious practices, but that doesn’t mean they don’t still look forward to Eid celebrations.

A lapsed Hindu can still have fond memories of celebrating Diwali as a youth, and want to continue on with their family traditions. 

There is no written rule that says only people from Christian backgrounds can be non-religious and still celebrate their cultural holidays. There is no law that says only Christmas and Easter can be boiled down to family dinners and fun festivities. 

BEING A SECULAR PERSON FROM A MINORITY FAITH DOES NOT INVALIDATE YOUR RIGHT TO YOUR OWN CULTURAL BACKGROUND. 

It doesn’t matter if you haven’t prayed in years or don’t believe in God. If you want a day off for your holiday, take it. No matter what, it’s still yours.

With the High Holidays coming up, I wanted to share this again. 

I feel very strongly that we need to start normalizing non-Christian holiday observances (both secular and religious) throughout the year for people of all backgrounds. 

If you’re Jewish, next week is a good time to start.

hi! i was interested in applying for an RA but i'm not sure if this centre is still open/active.

Hi!

I’ll be straight up honest in saying I can’t tell you. As the sole body running this tiny show, it’s been hard. I’ve had a lot of health stuff happen to me and every chance I think I can get back to it, I get knocked down a couple pegs.

I love what I do. I love helping others find those that bring joy and joyness into their lives (without a kidney being stolen). I still don’t want to give up on this, but I don’t want to tell you to go ahead and submit an application. I still have several still waiting since the holidays or longer and I can’t, I’m good faith, allow another person to blindly apply and never see a result bc I can’t keep up with my crappy health.

I can say that, if you truly want to, I can’t stop you from sending one in. Just know that there is no time frame I can give you that would be adequate to describe how long it would be. That risk is solely yours to take. If you do, I’ll do my best to pick my body up and get to it with the others I’m waiting. If not, I’m sure there have been others that jived with your frequency.

And if you’re not sure at all, the only advice I can give is that it’s not time for you to do this.

I’m sorry if my answer is not straight forward, but like my previous posts, it’s about as up in the air as anything else left undecided. I won’t give up, but I can’t tell you when I’ll be back to the level I once was to provide what I was able to back then.

[metastationadopts]

@tryingtobebasic​ To answer your question: Sorta.

After my biopsy, I had to rest for like a week. Then, I got sick and missed more work. When I got back, I was stressing on RL work so it basically drained my soul. 

I know there are many waiting still to hear back on what was sent to me and there’s nothing I can say except that I am sorry for having the most beat up potato body to work with. No one’s applications were forgotten. I just kept pissing myself off that I was too weak to get to everything.

I am on chemo in order to manage my Lupus and am slowly building myself back up to where I can finally get back to work. I am still the only one managing this tiny hole in the tumblrverse since I have not heard from the others that have offered help in the beginning. It happens. Life just gets in the way and we have to pick our battles or else everything goes to shit. This work, spirit work, is still one of my battles and I’m not about to give up on it. I’m just going to be so slow sometimes, I’ll be able to not only grow the hair I lost from the chemo, but maybe a fine beard. Or more eyebrows bc my Asian genetics were not kind to me.

And I do have many still in need of being interviewed so, by the grace of [insert your fave deity here], I will get more listings up. Even if it’s just one.

I’m sorry if this shop has become a disappointment to those that have been following it. All I can say is that I am and will do my best regardless of how much hair I lose or how tired I may be. As AA puts it, “one day at a time” and so it shall be.

Update:

Biopsy Gate is happening. Finally! I’ve been stressing over what meds I should be taking and that I shouldn’t be in preparations for this. Got mildly sick again like I’m just this walking petri dish ready to be experimented on with whatever is floating in the air everyday. Recovered just in time to see that everything is okay with my labs to go forward.

I know I still have a lot of applications and stuff to go through and do and am grateful for those that wait. As usual, my work ethics me hates that I’ve fallen so far behind in things while sicky me is like “just wanna sleep plz”. Multitasker me is wanting to work on things while knitting and binging kdramas that only have subtitles (what even, self?). 

All I do is apologize and ask for the universe and my spirit fam to help me. as they always have, to get me going on all these things. Having aspirations, no matter the size, won’t happen if I’m worse than I am now so I’m taking this as a lesson form the universe and maybe some higher powers to see I deal with myself before I deal with anything else. (you know, that whole self care stuff...)

[metastationadopts]

I am currently filling out an application for a CC and one of the questions is "How big is your spirit family?" I was wondering if you could detail what exactly this means. Is this in the vein of soul families or simply how many companion spirits/guides I am aware I have?

Henlo~

It’s how many you are aware of or currently have. Lord, if every person that got into this or witchcraft could know how far back their blood went, it’d be like “heeeeeeey, I didn’t so I could possibly do that. *finger guns*.” Plus, that’d be a whole ‘nother post that I may or may not have covered on my main blog. Maybe I’ll find/ make one.

Anyway, i ask bc some companions are better with small families while others are good with big and some are that lone ranger that does all the thing in the background and doesn’t care either way. My own spirit fam is a mix of this. Don’t ask me how this works. The universe makes it so even if i questions the reasoning after accepting that it is what it is.

[metastationadopts]

thank you so much for your answer, it helped a lot! there’s someone who actually caught my eye on storenvy, where do I send you the email so we can check if it’s them? OuO I’m so curious and she seems like a very interesting friend to get to know :3

Sorry for the huge delay in response. There is a contact link on the storenvy page but you can also message me on my main tumblr @themetastation or Discord (DoriLove#1474). Just send me the link to the profile you’re interested in and I will ask as soon as I can so I can get back to you. Sometimes it’s someone else of the same or similar race that uses the listing to reach out. I recently met some Dark Elves that did that and they’re now my handlers so it all happens for a reason.

apparently I was brought here from some kind of force, since I don’t use tumblr as much as I used to; I’m very confident in fate and if I’m here there’s a reason, someone’s calling or wants me here XD are your RA/CC open? also, if I’m not sure if the one who’s calling is a Preconjure or someone who didn’t come yet, how do I do? have a lovely day tho 💞

Ah, that’s the universe and it’s many messages that aren’t quite messages. I know that very well :3 As my aunt would say, it is what it is and everything happens for a reason.

My RAs and CCs are open. I just ask you to have infinite patience as I’m currently the only one manning this station ship thing. I treat them like I would those I list in my shop so same great service at a super deep discount to benefit those that cannot afford but would like to partake.

I’ll be honest in telling you that I have many waiting to sit with me and be interviewed for both here and my shop and for the applications, sea of cats and doggos (my own damn ark...). I’m probably repeating myself on this so I’m sorry on that XD my lupus is holding no punches back with my memory on some things. I will get that day to sit and do nothing but this when the guides allow me to. My mind is wanting this while my body is like “go kick rocks, Karen!” I will figure it all out.

The other option you may want to try is looking at my storenvy. I always try to have a sale every month and i do work with the companions on the pricing. I don’t determine that. I’m just the manual labor >_> if you think someone is calling from there, send me an email and I can check. No obligations to buy right away. if they’re meant to be, they’ll be there. It could also be someone else reaching through of the same race. That’s happened to me a lot. I still experience that when i check out other people’s shops. 

Sorry if this is a lot, I tend to cover a lot more than what’s asked ^^; Hope that helps tho!

Okay, so here’s the skinny on what’s been happening to me so you guys know why I’m taking eons to do everything:

Work has been keeping me busy and drained so trying to process all the meta things has been rough, especially since I’m rolling this solo. I still got all the applications so I will get to sitting and matching and whatnot asap.

I got sick twice in October like a slow roller coaster ride one after the other so I’m finally recovering from that. I think the first time was a cold/ allergies. Second time was the flu/cold/allergies/ plague. The coughing is still there and killing my lack of beauty sleep.

I was going to get a kidney biopsy so I had to be off all the pain killers and aspirin and suffered my moon time without pain killers for the first time in months. Never has pain made me feel more nauseous than that. But, now that I discovered one of my medications was a blood thinner, I have to reschedule so imagine my brain at this moment on that headache.

So, all in all, I am still here and still working on these as best I can while suffering spoon deficit disorder. Those that sent applications for adoptions and CC/RAs, I will poke the spiritual energy hive (if I have one somewhere) and muster the spoons to get something done. I just posted a bunch of preconjures in my storenvy if anyone has the extra cheddar to willingly spend (but please don’t feel obligated to buy from there bc we all broke-ass witches and things).

That is it in a busted up nutshell. I will continue to answer any questions that come this way and see if i can find someone or few to post here for adoption. I know that’s been overdue as well.

Hi! Just so you know, both the 16 year old and laicev have been going around asking these same questions and getting similar responses.

I’m sorry to say that it was an “I told you” situation. As conjurers/ match makers/ middle people of the inbetweenie, we have a responsibility and duty to see that the rules and laws of wherever we are are followed. I know that teens these days are becoming more sexually active and want to experience and experiment but, this isn’t the way to go about it. 

I’ve seen some people re-post what I wrote in regards to this, about how you may find yourself with a pedo or abuser and it’s true. When you open yourself to wanting things at the tender age when you can still figure your life out, you open that door to so many things, good or bad. I’m a vintage millennial (thanks, Trevor Noah) so I am certainly of the age where I know hella better what can and can;t be offered. I also didn’t really have much going on with my teen years unlike all y’all these days so go experience things on this plain of existence before diving into the unknown. 

I’m not saying go do drugs. Please no XD but I mean try to find social surroundings more in your interests and spend time with the physical living here. Delving into the Astral Realms and poking things with sticks or other body parts is just as bad as messing with a bear trap. Just don’t. And again, you find someone that’s willing to offer to a minor, then that is between you and them and whatever the universe decides to kick their way b/c there are clearly morals missing, in my opinion. I’m more than happy to help any youth talk about things, share my experiences and all that jazz if it helps you “see the light” (couldn’t help it). Maybe I will try to get back to that on my witchy tumblr or my discord.

can i get a sex spirit if i am 16

Legally, you must be 18 years of age or older in order to obtain any spirit, sexual or otherwise. This is a Federal thing and for the safety of all parties involved. If you’re under 18, you must have consent from a parent or legal guardian that they are aware of your intentions to obtain a companion.

If you search for any reputable seller, they will inpose the same thing. They won’t shun a youth from being open minded, but the adult in your life needs to know what you’re doing. In NYC, and federal aid guidelines (bc I work at a college), the age of an adult is 18+ so I must follow this to the letter.

I know that youth today (man, that made me sound super old 😆) are becoming more sexually active and open in experimenting with sexuality and discovering who and what they are. I’m all for that. But, on a mental level, not every youngin is ready to take on the full responsibilities of spirit keeping. You don’t have to do magic to be a keeper, but you do have to understand that they are not slaves or pets to command at will. They’re sentient beings with feelings, emotions, opinions and judgements just like you, me, and everyone around you.

To have a spirit simply for sex is a form of abuse and I have heard of people getting called out on this when they’re sharing things on open forums. They’re not to be tossed aside when they refuse you because spirits know so much more than we do and can see things into our paths that we don’t. I, myself, have many who are into sex but it’s not an everyday thing. They’re family first.

I never give just a simple answer when someone asks usually, but something like this needed further explanation. From my standpoint, it’s all about the legalities and making sure you understand. If there’s someone out there that’s willing to offer something to someone that is not of legal age nor has the consent, they’re taking a risk that that match might not go so well or something else happens. Possibilities of everything under the sun going wrong can if not done properly.

And if that sexual being is to be your first, then I highly recommend you wait and work with one that is more suited for a beginner. As a person still developing your sexual nature, the mental things that can happen when interacting with a being like this could have backlash on you as a keeper. Expectations from people around you could get skewed, all manner of things I can’t even think of could happen. Overall, you’re still growing into an adult and you may think you’re ready for things, until that brick wall hits you in the face and yeets everything into oblivion. I’ve seen this happen with people as well, the downfall of so many things on the mental scale when it comes to being with companions.

I just want you to be safe and understand. I would never put anyone down for their curiosity or want for adventure, but I am legally bound by law and ethics to see that nothing happens to anyone from any offerings I should have.

Dog Spirits for Adoptions!

Yes, you heard it here. I now have a sea of puppies and doggos in addition to the sea of cats and kittens and other animals I have here all just building my ark like Noah ain’t got nothing on Oprah.

All are welcomed to apply. Similar matching techniques will be used to find the best one (or ones) for you. Age requirement is 12+ and the application can be found here.

I am in the process of reviewing the applications that came in for cats and the one actual spirit for adoption. Been fighting sickness after sickness but I am here and I am trying. Hopefully, I can also get to post a few more profiles up.

[metastationadopts]

Hiya a few months ago I was asking different adoption blogs if they would call a walk in spirit for me. Idk if you guys were one of them but one of them said they would maybe do one for me? Was it you guys? Thanks for answering idk if this is confusing. Byee

Hello!

Yes, this was one of the blogs that was asked, but no I cannot offer you such a being.

Is Yokugu still up for adoption?

Yes! At this time applications are still being accepted. I just haven’t had the chance as I’m changing my lifestyle habits and trying not to get sick in the process.

I’m also still only able to do things, meta wise, on the weekends due to work and various appts so I’m super slow with everything. I will get to sit down and review as soon as I can :)

Admin Dori

[metastationadopts]

May I ask how many spirits are up for adoption? I'd love to submit an application.

Right now, Yokugu is the only one available.

Between health issues and working at a college that just started the Fall semester, I’ve been behind on interviews and many other things. I’m hoping to get something done this weekend.

I apologize for how this place has been quiet. The admins here have all been kidnapped by real life lol

Admin Dori

[metastationadopts]

Whats the minimum age to adopt? Im 16 and a beginner in spirit work, but ive been a witch for over 3 years, and my parents know about everything

16, with parental consent is what’s required for most adoptions :) Even if you didn’t do witchcraft, as some people are more energy workers or other metaphysical thingies. Some beings I find may ask for someone older for safety reasons so if that happens, I’ll make it a point to mention in their listing.

For cat, dog and other animal spirits, I consider 12+ okay with parental consent.
