Tending – How Personal Taste Forms My Spirituality
I barely share my personal practie mainly because its too personal. As you have noted maybe, if you are a longer folower, that I have never really shared overtly detailed Grimoire/Book of Shadows of mine, and my reason is it’s containing personal datas that I wanna protect due to the overwhelming numbers of hackers, and online dangers one can barely phatom it exist unfortunately.
Whils I am a user of medical sowtwares and AI(ish ones to communicate with able-bodied people in my close life), I REJECT GENERATIVE AI due to its lacking of legal restrictions, the dangers of its training methods not being confirmed and many more. Especially the lack of transparency in wether they compensated authors if they used to train them with copyright materials (shame on you ChatGPT!)
I want to protect my personal space as privacy in our recent era is kind of becoming even more a luxury. Doxxing, harrassments, bullying have happened to many peoples I have witnessed it here too and I want to stay away from dramas as much as possible.
Having an unstable mental health its my duty towards my body to guard it, even my brain too. Its a wonderful organ, and I love to maintine it just as much as my body in general. Mental health is closely tied to it.
I have seen a post asking why there is a lack of personal practice share here on this platform. I answer you, my beloved pal in faith: HATE, BIGOTRY. Noone wnats to be shamed for what they believe in, see how rampant hatred is towards godspousers, BIPOC practicionares, you name it, oyu can be ridiculed and shamed for nearly anything and everything.
Whatabautism is my other pet peeve why I am aware o how and what and how much I share.
I am TIRED of always having to state what works for me might not for you, and its okay. I am tired of constantly being surrounded by hideously insecure people who thinks just because someone does something in another way its automatically ism/ist, and just presses report even when it wasn’t necessary.
Spams, bots, hateful people, there is a lot of reason why someone stays silent.
So I understand why so many people stopped posting or go on digital detox vacations offline to save themselves from spiraling negativity.
I’m quite an open minded and progressive person based on my experiences yet I have consulted with myself on wether there are some boundarylines I have to draw for my own wellness and safety.
My sisterly advice to everyone: guard your privacy, do protect your own personal datas and if necessary, stay away froma platorm that has a harmful athmosphere towards your mental health.
I hope it gives some better understaning for many of you who are confused why the pagan/witch part of the platform seems to become uniformized and lack of „personality”.
My other take is maybe you just use the platform unproductively, and as someone who is a small content creator here, I suggest you to refine your own tags. I got this advice and it helps me a lot to find bettersuited contents I’d love to read.
And another recomendation: if you see a lack of what you are interersted in online, here on Tumblr, START MAKING YOUR OWN CONTENTS. You might be surprised how faryou can go just by putting it out, hey, I am interested in x-y-z I wanna meet x-y-z type of content lovers.
I hope this little venting helped someone with similar struggels. Wish you all the bests, have a nice weekend Everyone!
