Sharing spiritual insight is tough because very rarely do the Gods "talk" to me in words; it's usually in images, allegories, and a silent sense of knowing/remembering. It's tough to translate all that into standard English

I think of cultural appropriation a lot like pronouns.

If someone says, "use she/her," then you do that. Easy peasy.

If people from a living tradition say "hey, that's appropriation, don't do that," then you shut up and stop doing that. It's real simple. If you're not living that experience, it's not your decision to make.

@Cat_LeFey

(This is directed at the folks who continue to appropriate from closed/initiatory traditions, not at Cat)

A lot of people don't seem to realize that, in many cases, it's impossible to accurately recreate the practices from closed/initiatory traditions without the proper guidance, training, empowerments, spiritual contexts, and so on. Instead, what they are creating is a pale shadow of the real thing. That's partly why cultural appropriation is so harmful: If the pale shadow is heavily popularized to the point that it is equated to the real practice, it's much easier for the real practice to become forgotten or twisted over time.

Appropriation is also different from inspiration and cultural exchange because appropriation is ultimately destructive and operates without the consent of the living culture.

Today's is a question I've asked before, but I've met a lot of new people in the last year:

How many altars do you currently have?

I'll leave the definition of an altar up to you, because I think that what makes something an altar is believing it is one.

khthoniaa,

@Cat_LeFey

I said 1, but really it's 1.5 because I have my travel altar boxed up in a drawer right now because I haven't gone on any long trips in a while!

@khthoniaa@pagan.plus avatar

Some of the best advice that I can give to magick practitioners is to avoid comparing yourself to other practitioners. Comparing yourself to others won't lead to growth like focusing on your path and putting in the Work will, but it will steal your joy by inciting feelings of inadequacy.

Agape (Divine Love) is, I think, as incomprehensible as Divinity Itself. Therefore, it makes sense that everyone's subjective experience of agape is unique. It also makes sense that we draw upon human concepts of love (familial/platonic/romantic) to approximate It.

Some occult texts are riddled with misinformation and misdirection purposefully and knowingly included by the author. Sometimes called "blinds," their purpose is to obfuscate the secrets contained within the text, and to prevent or sabotage the work of the uninitiated who attempt to use the text without the proper knowledge, training, or experience.

The 5x5x5 Daily Practice

If starting and sticking to a daily spiritual practice is your goal, but you don't know where to start, try setting aside just 15 minutes per day for your practice. Spend:

-5 minutes researching/reading about your practice
-5 minutes praying and/or meditating
-5 minutes engaging in ritual

Once you become comfortable with that routine, you may feel comfortable increasing your daily practice from 15 minutes to 30 minutes or more per day. Do what works best for you, your spiritual goals, and your schedule.

Did you know that at least 50% of Earth's oxygen is produced by oceanic plants? That's more oxygen than is produced by all rainforests combined!

That really drives home how important it is to protect our oceans and the life within it!
