I believe the correct forum for this is f/bdsm

Happy to discuss the concept of the holy ghost, but without putting any ideas forth, I can't see how you're relating this to paganism.

Would you mind if I ask some questions about your fantastic friends and how you formed a relationship with them?

The following is not one of the questions, but I couldn't let it go after thinking about it... It's a question about Thor's Protection... Is Thor's Protection like a small amount of electric charge, almost like static electricity... and you can zap things which makes people think you're harmless. Which in term means they ignore you, which protects you?

i do not mean to be rude but is picture of your face something really you trust here?
If things you say on reddit get you ban many times over then maybe it is things you should not put face onto just because admins here will not ban.
like wiki about security culture say, there is still monitoring from outside, and we don't know certain that every user (admins too) here for good reason or tell all truth. It is true face databases exist but we should work not to make things easier for identifying and "punishing"

When you land on the reversed Fool in your reading, you can generally find his more negative characteristics being on display. It can mean that you are literally acting like a fool by disregarding the repercussions of your actions. Like the youth depicted in the card, you don't see how dangerous of a position you find yourself in.

A reversed Fool card can show that you are living in the moment and not planning for the future. The reversed Fool meaning serves as caution that you should be more aware so as not to be taken advantage of.

I think they're on to me!

No gods no master fam...

It includes all gods

That said, besides Daoism that I don't consider a religion per se, I have a inclination to paganism in some of their different versions, santeria, Trad witchcraft, and all the weird shit. You can try to conciliate both, but there's lots of undoing to do in terms of cultural/societal conditioning.

Imho, any form of neopaganism or pagan reconstruction is a postmodern pastiche and its own thing, so no worries in there, you can do your own thing your way. Now if you are interested in recuperating some deities to present them as anarchists you can pick usually the trickster figure or the outcast that usually will be the one: Lucifer, Hermes god of thieves, Èṣù, Loki not the marvel one, the Coyote..

If they said they were Anarchist, would I believe they're a God?

If they said they were a God, would I believe they're Anarchist?

If I said I am a God, would you believe I am an Anarchist?

If I said I am a Fool, would you believe I am a God?

In European (IE. Greek/Roman/Germanic) there is a patriarchal King or Father God, but underlying that there's also Saturn/Chronos as the deposed Old God (Uncivilized) vs. the New Gods (Civilized).

Outside of that, Pantheist Religion does raise itself as being open to diversity of belief.

Some Gods may be Anarchists, but overall I'll wait until they tell me to provide a conclusive answer.

I wouldn't consider myself pagan (I don't know much about it) but I do try to direct good stuff to f/pagan if I know of it.

Which is to say that I think making a space on raddle for good pagan analysis etc would be great, but I am not the person for the job. I'm happy to contribute thoughts and critical engagement though.
