BTW, the belief that you have to leave where you are and go somewhere in order to connect with nature is part of the problem. You can literally connect with nature anywhere; yes, even in an urban environment. You have birds, bugs, plants, weather, seasons, etc. A lot of people need to stop thinking of nature as something out there and start recognizing that it's something that's already right here.

Vincent Van Gogh, in a letter to his brother Theo, dated 23 December 1881

i don't really interact much with paganblr, but I am 1000% certain of this: if you use an ai art generator to make so-called devotional art out of computer slop--- a computer which cannot think, cannot feel, certainly cannot worship--- furthermore slop which poisons and pollutes the very Earth that all pagans should hold dear--- if you use an ai art generator for devotional art, you are actually insulting the gods, the Earth, and all the ancestors

in short: pick up a fucking pencil and draw stuff yourself, the meanest and sloppiest stick figure surrounded by cartoon flowers is superior to any garbage that a machine spits out

The moment of chopping wood and carrying water is the moment of happiness. We do not need to wait for these chores to be done to be happy.

☀️┆welcome to my blog!

this is where I share my journey in finding my path and building my faith 𓆝 𓆟 𓆞 𓆝 𓆟

At the moment I'm still taking my first steps, researching and exploring.

I do believe in some sort of Mother God that created the universe, but I don't think I can call myself a monotheist, as I believe that other Deites exist in some way, just not on Her same level.
