The Future Of #Paganism
DECEMBER 14, 2023 BY #JOHNBECKETT

..."as an old saying of indeterminate origin says, the best way to predict the future is to create it.

Instead of trying to figure out what will happen, I want to talk about what we want to happen.

What do we want our #religious and #spiritual future to be?
...
Polytheists, pantheists, and non-theists have very different ways of understanding the world and relating to it. We may be able to work together to do Pagan Pride Day once a year, but we’re never going to worship together at every holy day. We don’t even recognize the same holy days.

Our plans for the future cannot require that people do what we know they won’t.
...
I often worry about what I want to have, forgetting the truth that we live in a society saturated with advertising and that things don’t bring happiness. I worry about what I want to be, forgetting that I am what I am and that changing that requires action. Focusing on what I want to do usually takes care of the other questions – and it’s something I can control.

When it comes to Paganism, polytheism, witchcraft – however you describe your religious and spiritual practice – what do you want to do?
...
Contemporary Paganism is like ancient Paganism in that both are organic religions. They grew / are growing from the bottom up. What we read and see in the lore we have took centuries to reach the state they were in when they were wiped out by Christianity.

We’re still in the early stages of modern Paganism.

The future of Paganism is very much undetermined. It will grow out of what we do. It will be what we make it.

What do you want to make it?"

Handel's #Messiah is an English-language #oratorio composed by George Frideric #Handel in 1741, structured in three parts.

The link should take you to part 3, scene 1, called "I know that my Redeemer liveth." Performed in 2019 by the #Sydney Philharmonic #Choir, courtesy of #ABC. If not, it begins at 2:01:52.

If like me you're not #religious, don't let that aspect put you off. You can consider the subject matter as #mythological or #fictional, but still be able to appreciate the #beauty of the composition & its execution.

Kateri Tekakwitha, also known by the nickname "She who walks with a limp" in the Iroquois language, and referred to as the "Lily of the Mohawks," is a significant figure in the religious and cultural history of North American Indigenous peoples. Born in 1656 in Ossernenon, along the Mohawk River, which is now situated in the state of New York, Kateri Tekakwitha was a young Mohawk woman who converted to Christianity. Her path to #canonization was marked by a long journey filled with miracles and devotion, ultimately leading to her recognition as a saint by the Catholic Church on October 21, 2012, during a ceremony presided over by Pope Benedict XVI in Rome. #history #religious https://activite-paranormale.net/event/read/235/canonization-of-kateri-tekakwitha-by-benedict-xvi

#Etymology of Religion.

-re
From Proto-Indo-European 'wert' or 'ure' via Latin via Old #French: back, turn, do again, further do, transition, restore.

lig
From Proto-Indo-European 'leg' via #Latin 'legere' & Proto-Indo-European 'leig' via Latin 'ligare:' collect, gather, tie, bind.

-ion
From Latin '-ionem' used as a #word element forming nouns from verbs.

Religion is therefore repeated restoration of #transitional gathering & binding. #Religious ideology is therefore a restorative #system of #ideas that repeatedly gathers #human #minds & transitionally binds them to #ideology.

#God/s can exist regardless of #religion & pseudo-religions like #Marxism, #Scientism & #Transhumanism are equally concerned with gathering & binding minds to ideology.

The Missionaries of Charity is a #Catholic religious congregation founded in Calcutta on October 7, 1950, by Mother Teresa, an Albanian nun who had previously been a member of the Sisters of Loreto congregation. This congregation, awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979, has become synonymous with the commitment to the most destitute and marginalized in society. With approximately five thousand nuns spread across one hundred and thirty-two countries, the Missionaries of Charity are currently under the leadership of Sister Mary Prema as their Superior General. #religious #charity https://activite-paranormale.net/event/read/214/mother-teresa-founded-the-missionaries-of-charity

#OliverAnthony with #JordanPeterson: #Art, #Commerce, and the #Religious | EP 382

top

Dr. Jordan B. Peterson and breakout #musician Chris Lunsford, better known by his stage name Oliver Anthony, #discuss the balance between #vision and efficiency in #artistic and commercial endeavors, why Chris’ hit song “Rich Men North of Richmond,” has resonated so broadly and so quickly, the way honest #expression through #music can combat #demoralization, how #politics have become confused with the sacred, and what we can do to restore each to their proper order.

Oliver Anthony, real name Christopher Anthony Lunsford, is an #American #country/ #folk musician from #Farmville, #Virginia. He just recently went #viral for his #anthem #song, “Rich Men North of Richmond” – which has resonated across the country for its #messaging about #Washington D.C. and the #state of #poverty and #mental #health in the #broader U.S.. Chris has stated his politics as being right down or near the center, though already tribalism has attempted to take hold of or alternatively reduce/dismiss him, all the while “Rich Men” has amassed nearly 60 million views on YT in just over a month, and trended the billboard charts (Hitting number one more than once) since its release. Chris named his YT channel Oliver Anthony Music after his grandfather, whom he has described as a “real 1930’s Appalachian man.” Since his song's virality, he has already been offered – and turned down – an 8 million dollar recording contract, and is making waves as a truly authentic artist both in performance and practice.

[2023-04- 5 16:49:30] <@Digit> i see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNH0whizEtw has been re-uploaded. ... hopefully without the sound completely de-syncing between both halves of the conversation, like the prior upload's painful comedic fail.

SDG / Agenda2030 employs religious infiltration to "shape" communities 😖⚠

Between November 6th and 18th, 2022, the UN climate conference COP 27 will take place on the Sinai Peninsula, in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt. Religious communities and religious leaders have a key role to play in addressing climate change and climate justice, which requires deep transformation within society....

We come to Sinai in a movement of repentance and quest. We seek a new vision for humanity and its endangered existence, and we seek to receive and amplify a message of life-sustaining living and habits that humanity needs to hear today. In this spirit, the project partners will bring together premier religious leaders from the world’s major religions to put forth a prophetic interreligious call to action: “T*en Universal Principles for Climate Justice.*”

We, religious clergy and members of faith communities based in Israel, gathered here at the Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Jerusalem on November 3, 2022, hereby make the following declaration to people of faith across the Earth, and to the governments, UN entities, civil society, and all stakeholders of COP 27 now opening at Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt.

most Americans have been ensnared in a multitude of nefarious "OcCultural Spells" cast by MSM/PedoWood/Academia/Government for decades.
Really, it goes all the way back to when the #Roman #elite (a #Satanic #coven themselves ) pulled a fast one with the #Christ #phenomenon and stripped it down for parts to build a #perfect self perpetuating satanic #religious #control #system. Without understanding what they have been doing, Christians have been practising a satanic #blood #sacrifice #ritual (of Christ). They call it the 'blood of Christ' that was spilled for our salvation from our sin. A complete satanic crock from top to bottom. The "religious" Christians are part of the problem, and it's the religious #Christianity that's the basis of the institutions of the so called western #Christian nations.

You damned well bet we are all under a #spell, and it's deeper and bigger than you can grasp in one sitting.

Judge Grants Relief to Marines Denied Religious Exemption from Vaccine

U.S. District Court Judge Steven D. Merryday on Thursday evening granted a class-wide injunction that prohibits the Marine Corps from enforcing the Biden administration’s military vaccine mandate against or discharging Marines who filed for religious exemption from the mandate and who were denied.

The injunction gives relief to Marines who were affirmed by a chaplain as harboring a sincere religious objection to the vaccine, submitted a request for religious accommodation, were denied, and who appealed and were denied or will be denied after an appeal.
