8:47-10:00--I LOVE that she mentioned pop magic, and her own story of it was adorable. Even before I became Wiccan, I was practicing pop magic while creating my art as a writer and theatrical performer, calling on people or characters to help me with my creativity when I needed it. And several of those figures are now part of my spiritual practice and personal pantheon, too. After all, to create art is to engage with spirit. The fact that pop magic is a thing shows that Wicca/Paganism are living traditions which are growing and changing with the times and it's wonderful. Blessed be!

Hel yeah!. When it comes to supporting you and everything Norse, just call me Robert the Viking. I'm bringing it back. Not the violence obviously but I'm totally congruent with the Viking way.

as a nordic person I think that is really cool of you

[@robgau2501]

@@user-vq9lr6ss4z Thank you!

Wasn't the viking the military group of a nordic tribe? The viking culture was violence and war. The act of violence was seen more as an act of healing and offering to the gods. The viking didn't go to Hel because there was no fighting or war there, which to a viking was the worst thing imaginable.

Nature shows us that there is a creator, that all of our universe isn't just here by chance. I think it's sad that pagans worship nature instead of the God who created nature and the universe.

[@GreenSage307]

Why should anyone decide to worship this god character that religious individuals speak about? sorry to say we are simply grabbing at straws if we believe a god of the bible exists, we are too naive and ignorant as we truly don't know what gave humanity breath in the beginning, a book can not tell us, religious fanatical followers have been trying to tell people who don't believe in this god fellow since the first Munk landed on England, and they say it like we don't have a choice, when they have already made a choice, I think it's about time that some individuals accepted this and let it go, you can't force or change someone's perspective once they have made their choice, pagans live without this God and they are happy, it doesn't mean there need saving or they are dammed, it means they have their own freedom to choose, they take responsibility for their own life, and are accountable for anything and everything in their life, I just say let them live in peace who are there really hurting.......

[@AliciaNyblade]

Pagans DO worship the Creator. We just believe said Creator has more forms and faces than only that of a white-bearded sage. After all, if the Creator creates everything, then it should be able to manifest as anything it likes.
