Confession: I want to get into paganism and witchcraft more. But TBH since I never grew up religious, it's hard for me to stick to any belief system. And I am bothered a bit by the gendered nature of a lot of witchcraft practices despite the nature-forward aspects. I’m vegan (though I don’t push my diet or beliefs onto anyone else. I feel like veganism is a personal choice and you can’t force anyone else to be vegan). I love animals and the environment and try my best to cause as little harm as possible. I’m trying to change to put more positive energy into the world while balancing my own dark stuff.
I wonder how other people think about the stuff with the male-female/father-mother...ness...of a lot of witchcraft teachings, especially non binary people out there. And how do people stick with their practice?
I’ve read a lot on witchcraft, I have a few spells in the apartment even. But yeah... I don’t even celebrate like...any religious holidays because of my upbringing and it’s hard for me to stick to. I really do appreciate the teachings though... A lot of it seems to be just good natured and I can really get behind that. Just having trouble sticking with it...
