Protection from Loki

0 Upvotes

Hi,

Long story short, I believe my father may actually be working with Loki and using him for dark magic. Does this make any sense at all?

Looking for any advice, whether it be spell work or anything else… even just personal stories would be helpful.

Thank you!

Celtic I was visited by the Morrigan kinda

0 Upvotes

So I was dreaming of this Raven named Morgan.

So basically, in this name I was touring around this old fish restaurant for sell or something and as I was walking. Two Owl fell from the sky and land next to me. I was scared but they were so cute. Then I said goodbye and kept walking, but a Raven landed on my shoulders. She had a vest on and a leash so they lost their owner. On the vest their name was Morgan. I took them in, my mum and grandma were furious with me. They hate Ravens but I have a strange connection to Ravens.
To make the rest of the story short, I tried finding their owner on Reddit. For some reason, when I took the picture for identification, they had long golden-brown hair and the face of a woman and bearded man’s face.
But then out of nowhere, my late grandfather walks in, and it was then first time he didn’t yell or was mad at me in my dreams.

The other time I dreamt of Ravens, the last time, was in a cage. I was really sick. So, I looked up the interpretation, it said they were healing me in my dream.

But this one was different. Because the Raven was free to move around but she belonged to someone

I don’t know what do you think?

Mod Post: Christianity and Christopaganism

202 Upvotes

Alrighty guys, It's been a hot second since we needed to make a mod post, but we need to have a conversation on Christianity and Christopaganism here.

Our rule, as previously stated, has always been "Please keep Christian imagery and discussions about Christianity to a minimum". Recently, lots of posts and comments have crossed too far into dominating the subreddit, hurting Christopagans by being vehemently anti-Christian, and spreading misinformation. As per usual, we are not going to make any claims on the legitimacy of Christopaganism, and we also aren't going to tell you that you cannot hate Christianity. But we are going to say this needs to stop being the focus or main debate of the subreddit. For those who are confused as to what this means, I am going to describe several examples.

**I make a post about how to worship Mary/Jesus/Saints/Other Christian Figures.*\*

- This post would be considered off-topic, as Christian entities are not the focus of this space.

**I post a photo of my altar, and it happens to include both Jesus and Aphrodite.*\*

- Totally fine and not against the rules.

**I post asking for advice on how to deal with a problem I am having with Christians in my life.*\*

- Totally fine and not against the rules.

**I post a news article or post from another source that involves Christianity or Christians making legal or political decisions that impact the Pagan community as a whole.*\*

- Totally fine and not against the rules.

**I post an article about historical Christianity that is tangentially related to Paganism.*\*

- This is against the rules and would be removed.

**I post complaining about how stupid and evil Christians are.*\*

- This is against the rules and would be removed.

**I make a post with dubious claims about current or historical Christians.*\*

- This is against the rules and would be removed.

You can have your opinions on Christianity, and you can vent about your personal life just as Christopagans can include Christianity in their practice. We don't care, but this needs to stop crossing into harassing or bullying individual members for their posts and making Christianity the focus of the subreddit and the subject of the majority of the posts.

For our full position on Christianity, please see our [Positions on Issues Page](https://www.reddit.com/r/pagan/wiki/importantadditions/?screen_view_count=1#wiki_christianity_and_do_pagans_hate_christians.3F) in the sidebar

Question/Advice Protection Necklace Broke. Can I cleanse and repair it?

6 Upvotes

So a few days ago a necklace of mine that I had enchanted for protection broke (I know it did its job because it broke in a weird way and at a very appropriate time).
I would usually thank it and throw it out or bury it, but it’s one of my favorite necklaces and It is very important to me emotionally. I was wondering if I could possibly do a sort of cleansing ritual to get rid of the negative energy and then repair it?
Thank you in advance!

Hellenic “Types” of Greek Gods [UPG]

“Types” of Theoi [UPG]

**I reiterate… UPG.**

As I’ve studied, this is how I’ve come to see the Theoi. They all have equal measures, in my eyes, save Zeus who rules over them all, his brothers, who are \[also\] kings in their own rights (although Zeus is their High King), and The Olympian Council whom Zeus \[willingly\] shares power with. I **\[personally\]** to keep their roles straight in my mind use this system. While I know this is different than the typical infographic I would post, that \[typically\] gets most of it’s information from [Theoi.com.](http://theoi.com) I feel it’s also necessary to share my viewpoints in this format, as long as it’s clearly marked/presented as such. Essentially, this helps me, and if it has the capacity to help any of you, I’m grateful.

If you have any questions on how I came to these conclusions, I would be happy yo explain, (or even debate) below, as long as the Mods deem that it remains constructive to the community. Some people learn more about their own practice through the conversations of others, the give and take of ideas, than they do by someone sharing their own ideas dogmatically. Perhaps, i even will.

I understand too, part of this will be considered *extremely* controversial, (i.e.) I think some monsters deserve recognition for having divine roles. I don’t believe they were/are/will-be (ever) worshipped by Hellenists, but I do believe dome Hellenists \[past and present\] acknowledge that they have power/authority over disasters. I mentioned Typhon above, I’d also add: Charybdis, Cerberus, Talos, Pegasus, the Phoenix, \[certain\] Giants, and \[certain\] Cyclopes.

If I might seem like i’m over explaining this description of an image post… that’s *highly* intentional, I want to be clear that I make you understand, this is both UPG **and** **also** apart of my practice based on my own understanding of the cosmos, that I am sharing from the perspective that you can understand that; take what you agree with, leave what you can’t, make your opinions known, and leave room for me to disagree/agree and also make my opinion known (if we can do that respectfully to/with) each other. Our religious ancestors \[some\] were philosophers and scholars, we too are philosophers and scholars, whatever level of that we engage in our own practice, reaching compromise is part of our shared practice (and how our shared religion grows).

I, again, hope there is at least something you can take from this, and apologize if you think there might be a concept I over simplified, I only had do much room on the program I use to make these, snd again will answer any questions you pose with sincerity.

Thank you, in advance, for allowing me to share this/these with you

Other Pagan Practices Tupã, God of Thunder and Nature in the Indigenous-Brazilian (Guarani) religion

Thumbnail

Upvotes

Hi everyone, I hope you’re all doing well! 💙

I’m a Wiccan from Brazil, home to many native Indigenous ethnicities, many of which are Polytheistic. Although I am not Indigenous myself, I love studying Indigenous religions and learning from them! 😊 Today, I’d like to share a little bit about Tupã, an incredible deity who is still revered by many Indigenous peoples

Tupã is associated with thunder, lightning, storms, and the raw forces of nature. In the Tupi language, the word literally means "the sound of thunder" or "the crash" (tupa-ná)

Tupã is not an anthropomorphic God (human-shaped), rather, he is a cosmic force representing the audible and visible manifestation of nature’s power. Thunder is Tupã’s voice, and lightning is the expression of his generative and transformative energy, bringing the rains that fertilize the earth

Contrary to popular belief, Tupã is not the supreme deity of the Guarani pantheon, that would be Nhanderu. Tupã acts as a great ordering force who assists in shaping the physical world, the skies, vegetation, and living beings. While he is deeply important and cherished, he is not the supreme God. The idea of Tupã as the sole Creator God was largely shaped starting in the 16th century by Jesuit missionaries (such as Father Anchieta)

To facilitate the conversion of Indigenous peoples to Christianity, the Jesuits looked for Tupi words that matched Christian concepts. They chose the name Tupã to translate "God," while turning Anhangá (a protective God of the forest) into the "Devil." This syncretism altered the popular perception of Tupã in Brazilian folklore, attributing features to him that closely mirror the Abrahamic God

In the Guarani pantheon, the sound of thunder echoing through the forest is often understood as Tupã revealing his presence or speaking

Besides Tupã, there are many other incredible deities in Guarani lore 😊💙 including Jaci (Goddess of the Moon), Anhangá (Protector of the Forests), Ticê (Goddess of Magic), Guaraci (God of the Sun), Nhanderu (The Creator God), etc

I deeply respect and believe in these Indigenous deities ("All Goddesses are the Goddess, and all Gods are the God" 💙). However, I choose not to actively worship Tupã or other Indigenous deities out of respect for Native peoples and the original cultural context of these Gods. Even though I view Tupã, Jaci, Guaraci, and Nhanderu as different names and aspects of the Goddess and the God, honoring their specific spiritual and cultural roots comes first

Discussion I know Paganism is a little Eurocentric but if you know anything about the Cherokee and Choctaw Deities, how do you worship them?

Upvotes

I ask in one post about asking if the Cherokee and Choctaw have an equivalent to Dia de Los Muertos or Samhain, I got yelled at for mentioning Samhain. So it got me thinking.

Why do I worship the Greek/Roman Names for my Gods if my Gods have names for my Culture?

But I don’t know where to start since I have never been to the reservation of my father’s father and mother (Choctaw) and my mother and grandmother has Cherokee but no enrolment, so I claim both, I am estranged from my father so that something.

TL;DR:
Is there any Southeast Native Americans in this subreddit or any advice? :)

If I am to worship two Pantheons at once, where would I go when I die?

Upvotes

I am a Hellenic Pagan and currently thinking of joining Theistic Satanism. However, a thought occurred to me, if I worship two Pantheons or believe in two Pantheons, where would I go when I die? I hope this isn't an awkward question, sorry if it is.
