Saw a post that made me kinda upset and I just want to like... Put my two cents in for my own records.
Someone said that nature is not divine in any way and that its just the absence of the divine and human influence... And thats fucking stupid, personally. They were likely talking about folk who only take in things like trees and flowers and sunny days but it still upset me.
Nature doesn't need divine intervention to be part of the divine. Trees and moss are just as magical as mushrooms and flies. The cycle of life and death is magical in and of itself while also being scientific. A wolf tearing into its prey to survive is just as important to magic as a flower absorbing the sun to survive.
Nothing is wholly good, or wholly evil. It is *all* shades of grey. All life has magic, has divinity inside of it. Death has divinity within it. The earth itself does too.
I'm not sure what kind of belief this falls under but everything contains energy and that energy deserves respect just like any god does imo.... Just.... I understand that person if it was a personal feeling but it wasn't. It was speaking as if it was fact and not personal experience and thats just... Frustrating. Its what pushed me out of the craft in the first place.
A vulture is just as needed as the most beautiful of animals. A mosquito is divine too, no matter how much we disdain them. To be alive, its not something everyone gets... Thats magic in itself, to me. The rot must come for new life to grow. The 'ugly' is divine all the same.
