Ive found that the best time to do my affirmations are while I'm showering and moisturizing afterwards. Most of them are body/appearance related (hashtag self love) so it just.. feels right & appropriate ! I will probably start doing them while I do my hair as well.
Christianity was my first religion. nothing else crossed my mind because in my sheltered life I had never heard of anything else. nobody forced me into it. I was always a spiritual person who believed everybody was equal and nothing in the world could change that.
I always thought demons weren't evil and I was always apart of the LGBT community. I don't even know why I went to church knowing how I am lmao. I always believed God loved everyone because he is supposed to be about love and light and that all things that are love is something he supported.
so I've never had to deconstruct anything when getting into paganism because I've never thought it was evil or that the gods are bad or that anything was demonic. I am the most liberal and open minded person in my whole family. I'm a lot like my aunt who is also into paganism but she's not a great person so I dont want to ever be compared to her.
anyway. I've always been different and I've always seen spirits and had spiritual things around me and it's been a wild ride. im glad that I am not like those fake spiritual people who still have their whole head shoved up Christianitys ass.
I feel like I don't talk about the pagan and witchy side of my religion on here enough so uhh. HAIL SANTA MUERTE!!!!!!!! HAIL MAA KALI!!!!!!!! HAIL VENUS!!!!!!! ALL AS SAINTLY SPIRITS OF THE ENERGIES GOD RADIATES FOR US!!!!!!!!! THE EARTH I WALK ON IS ONE WITH SACRAMENT!!!!!!!!! MYSTICISM OF ANY KIND IS UNDENIABLY DIVINATION!!!!!!!!!! I AM CASTING SPELLS ON THE RICH IN THE NAME OF YESHUA!!!!!!!! I AM WORKING MY MOON MAGIC WITH OUR LADY!!!!!!!!! CHRIST HAD A PERIOD AND IM SYNCING IT WITH MINE!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE GOD AND I LOVE EROTICA!!!!!!!!! IM A STIGMATIC HEATHEN GO WHINE ABOUT ITTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!! okay bye
Pride and The Sacred Heart of Jesus being celebrated in the same month is so special to me! June is really the month of love 🫶🏽
May the Sacred Heart bless all of his queer children with his everlasting love <33
little tarot reading i did this morning with mary magdalene! i also finally got to use this magdalene incense i got from terra astra on etsy and it's sooo lovely. very excited for this next chapter with mary magdalene and jesus (she's given me the emperor card like three times to remind me they're a package deal lol)
really struggling to reconcile my polytheism and christianity. my grandmother gave me a new icon of the virgin mary, and it is beautiful. but i dont really know how to do both? i know some people believe that the gods are just manifestations of the christian god, but i dont really believe that. and i dont know if i really believe that he is the highest god either. highest in his pantheon, yes, but i don't like to compare. but where the hell does this leave me? can i venerate jesus the son, the virgin mary, and saints while being an outright heretic? i know i *can*. but i dont know if i *should.*
this is absolutely nothing against others who hold those beliefs. i just don't know if it works for me? its tough. especially looking at it from an orthodox perspective, whereas everyone ive seen seems to be folk catholic.
there are a few books i want to read on christian syncretism to understand this a little better. i wish i had all of this figured out, but to be completely honest, im clueless. ill post the links to the books/articles in case anyone else is interested:
syncretism and segregation in early christian art
syncretism and christian tradition: race and revelation in the study of religious mixture
how white christians turned syncretism into an insult
