Complete non sequitur. I said nothing about infidelity; I'm talking about homosexual intercourse. Because of the nature of human sexual anatomy, a man can experience sexual release purely thru being penetrated by another man. Why is this so? What would motivate a god who reviles queer sexuality...
Why did God design humans so that homosexual intercourse is pleasant? imo the existence of the human prostate (and to a certain extent, the clitoris) completely destroys the concept of sexuality being designed solely for reproduction. Similarly, the way fetuses actually develop kinda slays the...
Oh golly, yet more racists polluting the Nordic custom with their garbage fvcking ideology. Maybe the "best" part of this is that Finnish culture is not traditionally Germanic or even Indo-European, in fact completely unrelated to the other Nordic countries. These would-be nationalists know...
iirc the word "druid" itself is Welsh/Brythonic. It might also have existed in Gaulish society (can't remember) but I don't think "druids" per se were ever attested in the Gaelic lands.
I dislike it tho, it seems humorless and gimmicky. I used to be into "magick" as a spelling but now it just annoys me. Reminds me of the notion that comic books half to be called "graphic novels" to have artistic legitimacy (they don't).
He's a deist, not any sort of conventional theist, and he was never that notorious.
Personally, I think deism kinda takes the least interesting and necessary parts of theism without the aesthetics, ritual, sense of wonder etc. So I'm not a fan.
The god I have the most experience with is Odin, and I'm not attracted to him (in his usual guise/form, at least). But I do find some gods attractive, mainly classical Greco-Roman ones:
Get him to a therapist! I do believe in magic but I don't think his mental illness was caused by his occult practices. Rather, it sounds like that was a latent tendency he has and that his mental illness manifests thru his occult obsession. Magic is about altering one's consciousness. Just like...
I have a simple, aniconic Heathen shrine in my room. It's got a model tree representing Yggdrasil, two raven feathers representing Huginn and Muninn, a drawing I did of a forested mountainside (kinda representing Midgard) and candles with colors linked to various deities. When I'm not wearing my...
I lean towards the view that emotional experiences are linked to brain functions but not reducible to them. And saying "love is just a chemical reaction" as if it changes anything or has any consequences is seriously missing the point.
Scientifically, plants are living beings. My question to Dharmic practitioners is "do you consider plants to be part of the cycle of rebirth"? I know of cosmologies that go from animals straight down to hungry ghosts, but also that Jains try and avoid killing plants as well as animals.
