Controversial Polytheist Opinion Time

It doesn’t matter if every deity from a pantheon breaks down your door and is like “HEY YOU COME AND WORSHIP US” if you’ve had bad experiences with that faith community, you have every right to walk away.

I know this from personal experience. There are parts of the Heathen community that embrace a right wing, dick-swinging “if you’re not part of the inner circle your opinions are worthless” culture that was just not something I wanted in my life. I’ve had bad experiences with individuals and groups in other faith communities when I tried to branch out.

Now I know a lot of the times the deities will chase after you and be like “NO, STAY” but if you don’t have a supportive faith community it’s going to be rough, even if you’re a diehard solitary like me. 

“But Gef the deities call whoever they want and they get converts eventually” yeah but if you’re supposed to represent the interests of your deities and you’re being such a dick that you’re pushing people away, whose fault is that? It’s you, it’s your fault.

Stalkers of the gods

Is it just me or does anyone feel like a god-stalker? Like, pore over scholarship, google artistic renderings, and/or obsess. But then, like. Not actually engage Them?

to summarize:

Saint Laurent last season

Saint Laurent this season

I'm not saying the Saint Laurent creatives are in cahoots with Dionysos, I'm just saying I wouldn't not take them out for after-work cocktails and ranting.

Discovery of the day: according to Hel, it's not a failure or weakness or anything when a human has trouble connecting with the divine (fallow periods, dead godphone or bad reception and so on) but a sort of built-in protection. Gods are vastly different and huge and perceiving all of them would be way too much for our minds. But sometimes, when the conditions are bad (stress, low spoons or sth else), even partial perception of the divine might be too intense, so your mind essentially pulls the breaks? At least that was how I understood it. I've never looked at it that way, normally I saw that sorta thing as only one more limitation/shortcoming (y'know, with the mental illness stuff and all). But Hel says it's good and beneficial...

TFW you just want to spend all day snuggled up and chatting with your spirit friends but you have to engage in the capitalistic hellscape and trade your labor for money on which to subsist. :/
