Good bye to you, dear one, who has taken a final breath
A friend you were when I needed it most
For I might have drawn my last long ago
A cousin you were, a friendly voice in the darkness
And now you go forth on your journey
I hope you were not afraid
I hope you were not alone

Good bye to you as you walk the torchlit path
Where Hekate leads with pups to keep you company
And keys jangling in the night
Leading you to that final door
Away from pain and suffering
Away from stress and travail
But away from all of us as well

Good bye to you, and remember me please
For one day I too will face the path where Hermes walks
And shadows play games in the periphery of my vision
I will walk there and near the great caverns of Hades
I hope you will greet me
I hope you will smile
And welcome me with open arms

Good bye to you
Good bye!

All we have now is Certainty.

People who shout the loudest about their faith are rarely the descendents of people who built it. They're the converts, the latecomers, the people didn't inherit the religion but acquired it or were forced into it. Let's look at European Christians. Christianity was born in the Middle East. Jesus was a Semitic Jew living under Roman occupation, probably dark-skinned. He was definitely not the blond, blue-eyed figure you come across in Western churches. Yet Europe fought wars over […]

I'm still trying to figure out the relational existence of minds or souls. It has to do with the physical versus the spiritual or the public versus the private and how they aren't black and white but the lines are blurred and overlapping. #religion #polytheism #philosophy

There, in our minds
In our souls
In our hearts
There is a spirit gifted to us by divinity

There is the spirit of Truth
Aletheia of humble name
Aletheia who remains unhidden
Aletheia who discloses all

There in your soul
Where daimones speak
And wisdom takes root
There lives the spirit of Truth

There lives Aletheia
Given life by Zeus
Softly speaking spirit
Of our deepest wish

To see the world as it is
To seek the truth in all things
To disclose to ourselves that which is hidden
With her gracious blessing

Bless us, O Aletheia
That we may seek to be truthful
And expect truth in return
In a world with too many lies

I'm starting to form this idea that what's physical and spiritual isn't black and white and they blur and overlap. Your soul body may be private to those on Earth but public to those in the spirit world or ancestors in the afterlife. On the flipside your physical body may be public to most of those on Earth but private to blind people. #religion #polytheism #philosophy

The shamans of Harmonism will be called intermediaries. #religion #polytheism

I decided to replace the nature spirits classification with more specific tree, river, etc. spirits classifications because human spirits are nature spirits and I don't want to maintain or reinforce the human-nature duality that I don't agree with. #religion #polytheism

From now on I'm going to call my "deities" spirits. Then I will differentiate between ancestor, nature, and "supreme" spirits. #religion #polytheism #animism
