Aphrodite/Paganism-Gen

A place for trans women of all non standard religious to discuss their beliefs and religious practices.


Questions for today:
1. Are/Were you an atheist? Why?

2. Morality & Theology. Does your faith system have the concept of sin? Are your god(s) omni-benevolent?

I like many other mtfs follow what I guess you could call a 'pagan' religion. So I support a 'paganism' general.
But this seems like more just an advertisement for a cult, so I don't really want to participate.
I think you would have been better off making a paganism general and then just shilling in that. It would have been much less off putting.

>Questions for today:
>1. Are/Were you an atheist? Why?
No, the closest to it was when I wasn’t practicing ritual or when I left Catholicism after priest problems growing up, but that’s for another time

2. Morality & Theology. Does your faith system have the concept of sin? Are your god(s) omni-benevolent?
Kinda I think evil people should be punished (rapists, murderers, pedos, etc) to whatever means helps heals the collective whole of society whether it’s life in a room with white torture or the death penalty (although for some death is too merciful of a punishment)
Sin however is a separation of god, and we are god so it’s a separation of the HGA and its order of law, we suffer internally and ultimately externally from our separation, it hurts

I should also state that no my gods are neither benevolent or malevolent, they can be of assistance in good or bad actions based upon what you’re hoping to achieve. I would say that if I was to describe what type of gods I believe in it would be easiest to a Canaanite theology but I mostly work with Goetic Spirits

What's the HGA?

Holy guardian angel, essentially your higher self, the root of god in you, goal is to merge your higher (spiritual) form with your lesser (physical) form

im not an out and out pagan but i am an astrologer and fortune teller. i like norse mythology but dont practice it.
i have esoteric occult practices that are informed by my prophetic dreams and trances.
i take them very seriously so i dont like talkign to other people about them because people get upset and say im larping.
i am an athiest but not because i dont believe in immaterial things. i do believe in them but i have met "divine" figures and chosen not to worship them. god is closer to man than it wants you to realize. just because a wolf is below a human doesn't mean it has more dignity as a dog.
i practice cult observation of the moon and have a ceremony every full and new moon to protect myself from the metaphysical predators in the astral plane.
when i enter my trance like states i am capable of remote viewing and other immaterial actions.
my spiritual cultivation has made me into an unusual person that strikes others as being extraordinary. animals also have a love for me that isnt common compared to others. i can sometimes sense when people i know are in trouble and have experimented and validated this experience multiple times.

astrology is just misunderstood season reading btw

>>40345533
actually astrology is the canary in the coalmine for larger fluctuations in the spiritual composition of the weave of the universe. as above, so below. The inferior heavens are still reflective of the fluctuations in the greater heavens. astrological bodies are like driftwood floating on top of a bottomless sea. you can infer the tides by watching them bob on the waves.

>>40345533
that is to say seasons and the stars operate in unison as both are subbordinate to the greater cosmic will that manifests as fate.
