✨🥀Ways of thinking at the Moment🥀✨
I really subscribe to the idea of the Sacred/Divine Feminine and Sacred/Divine Masculine dichotomy. In my eyes, we all display aspects of both, so while I am a cis-woman if I wanted to I could worship and take into my everyday life, the virtues and values of the Divine Masculine, just as a cis-male can take the virtues and values of Divine Femininity into their lives. (I believe my significant other does this in his life without meaning to a lot of the time, he doesn't have the same belief system I do but he can often be found saying that "if there is a god, she's a woman")
Likewise I believe trans and nonbinary people can also be part of this practice of worshipping or acknowledging the Divine Feminine. I truly hope at some point the ideas of Sacred/Divine Femininity will no longer be associated exclusionary political ideologies (we know what I'm speaking of I don't have to name it); because the two are not synonymous with each other. One can worship the Divine Feminine and still love their trans sisters and nonbinary siblings, and their cis and trans brothers as well. At the same point I hope language and actual craft around the female anatomy will stop being such a controversial part of witchcraft, it's definitely a proven part of witchcraft that those who are "assigned female at birth" will have a natural cycle that goes with the cycle of the moon in some way, the bodies of both men and women can be used in witchcraft / paganism and it's something that should be empowering to people, not ever shamed or shunned.
An idea I also really find enthralling is the Tao, the mysterious force in all of us. I think the Tao, finding the beauty in simplicity and the solution in nonaction, being prudent and humble, all of those, are ideas that people can learn from. The Tao is something difficult to explain but I would definitely recommend reading a translation of Lao Tzu's writings, as they're truly enlightening.
Lastly and this may be controversial, I really do think part of spiritual enlightenment comes from learning to let go of earthly attachments. Not wanting things as much.
Not necessarily being complacent, but not desiring things that are truly unnecessary or wouldn't truly add to your quality of life.
This is an idea that I see in the Tao and have read over and over again when studying the Chakras. Letting go of earthly attachments seems to be associated with the Crown Chakra, which is usually the last to be opened, but I think taking this idea even when opening your other Chakras (or going through your spiritual journey however in the hell you wanna say it) can be EXTREMELY helpful in actually reaching the point where you're actually ready to open your Third Eye and Crown Chakras.
I truly think that in my time away, I've managed to open the flow in my lower chakras quite a bit, or if you wanna use different terminologies :
I've been in situations that required me to confront my fear of mortality in a different way, I've had to deconstruct and reconstruct my ego and rebuild my self esteem and sense of self, and this allowed for me to be more able to connect with my loved ones and more able to communicate as well. This is kind of a short way of saying, I opened my Root to my Throat Chakras/Spirit Points/Whatever you wanna call it, in this time.
This is kind of a jumbled mess of my thoughts and way of thinking at this point.
The takeaway being; be humble and kind and stop wanting so much pointless shit.
Why do want the things you want? Do you want objects for objects' sake? To impress another? What about this object makes it important to you, and can you find the happiness that object itself gives you elsewhere??
Know yourself and you'll begin to know others without even meaning to. Blessed be brothers and sisters and siblings ✨🌠🌺🦋💖🌙
