My Paganism & What You Should Know
7 years ago
General
Recently I was heavily discriminated for my beliefs. I am depressed, appalled, and just feeling plain old violated.
Here are the facts about my beliefs, and what they mean for me.
- I am not wiccan. My beliefs are similar, but I choose not to have a set of organized thoughts. My spiritual path is my own.
- I am Hellenic. This means that I follow the greek pantheon. However, I am willing to extend beyond even that.
- My Patron goddess is Hecate. Her name is pronounced Heck-keh-tay. She is a triple goddess of the moon, and magic. In my belief it is said that she does not like fantatically devoted followers. You need to be independant of self, and free in your thought.
- Other gods I follow are Aphrodite, The Horned God, The Lady Ravenna, and the Lord of The Greenlake.
- Every Spring spiritual lgbt+ people in my community gather for a ritual in a specific forest to wake Lady Ravenna, and the Lord of the Greenlake. Its unknown to many, but very popular among Seattleites. Lady Ravenna, and Lord Greenlake are said to bless the lgbt+ community, and prevent harm from coming our way in the greater Seattle area.
- I believe that all religions, and beliefs are right. Every single belief on earth is right, so long as you do not inflict harm.
- I am not one that conciders my belief religious. I prefer spiritual.
- On every solstace I hang out with my pagan friends of various beliefs, and practice traditions. Deep down its really just a way to show appreciation to the earths beauty, and wonders.
- I do tarot. I have a beautiful deck.
- Collecting crystals is a hobby of mine. My favorite stone is my rose quartz. Its a big boi. I also love my lucky amethysts, obsidians, and my citrine. I have plenty more as well.
- We do not do negative rituals. We only partake in the positive.
- Science comes first for me. I do not believe one should rely only on divination, crystals, or oils to be healthy. Please get vaccinated, and trust your doctors foremost.
Please do not mislabel, or judge me before you get to know me. I am not aiming to convert, or start a fellowship. I am just me, and this is my truth. It really sucks to listen to others talk about themselves for hours and hours, only to be rejected against because I opened up, and shared my truest colors.

People are stupid. We do live in a heavily Christian influenced world - and they're used to oppressing people for their beliefs. Sorry you had to go through that.

Ah, they can be just as oppressive. They have this thing with wanting to be right about the existence of no gods.
