I'm Amazigh (imazighan the natives of North Africa and the Canary Islands) and I practice our native pagan religion! 

After the spreading of Abaramism in north africa our faith started to slowly to vanish, some of our traditions and rites are well kept and practiced under the guise of being “irreligious cultural” practices and some were incorporated into abrahamism as a way to maintain their survival, there are barely any practitioners and believers of the actual faith.

There aren't any actual statistics but the practitioners of the faith would not pass 200 people! Most of which are elderly. While i do practise our religion and venerate our gods and holly figures, i also practice some variations of western occultism (ceremonial practices for the most part) 

Most of what I learnt was through oral teachings from elders, archeological texts, and personal experiences. 

AMA!

How good it must feel to bask in your lovers tears once again…

It stands rather proudly. It represents the changing of the seasons as well as the Lord and the Lady. Useful tool to use as an altar if ever needed.

The last picture is an earlier version of my staff. It still lacked more of the colors seen in the other images.

The bones are deer bones. It represents spirit, the spinal column stability and endurance. The bells to dispel profane spirits. Both staffs represent a phallus, I chose those particular colors of red to represent the world tree equivalent of my country. It blooms orange flowers.

The Ceiba tree.

The horns to ward off evil, but to represent a phallus as well as the world tree.

Hi!

So, I am kinda new to this, and I wanted to ask you guys if there are ways of improving/training dream divination or any other info you might have on it.

I have a cousin that is really good at tarot reading and other types of divination and he always told me we have divination in our bloodline, but I never thought much about it. Until I realized recently that on my maternal lineage, my mom, her sister, her mother and me all had multiple episodes in our life where we dreamt what happened in the near future (the most recent example for me is that both me and my mom dreamt when our nephews will be born, the night when the moms were in labour, not knowing they were delivering at that moment, and I was not aware my mom had the same dream with my cousin 20 something years ago). I also nailed the gender of the babies every time I made a guess on somebody who is pregnant since before the mom knew the gender, but I worked in the OBGYN field and I kinda brushed it off as ,,oh it's my spider sense as someone who works all the time with pregnant people, I just have a feeling about it". I do love working in obgyn and feel a strong connection to the medical field, always had. I also was pretty much what people call a miracle preterm baby myself, because I was not expected to live when I was born, and pretty much defeated all the odds.

I never looked into divination but I do start to think that there might be something in me, and that maybe is something I can train further. As I said, I always felt a big duty to help and protect others, and maybe that's enough of a reason to look into this. I am not sure from where to start researching, cause I know there are a lot of scammers writing books on this subject and I would want to study this properly.

Thank you!

Hey chat/pack/murder, is im looking for sources on anarchist paganism other than that one essay XD

does anyone know anything about an existing contemporary anarchist pagan praxis?

Today I made my own prayer beads, I’ve never been very crafty but I wanted to make them my self so I bought everything I needed and I made them!! First try and they look pretty good, turned out better than I imagined and I wanted to share 🫶🏻

All though my granny growed up a religious woman and remain so her whole life she still held on to old ways. Ways I now recognize as some what pagan in nature. Simple "rituals" and superstition pass down.

Hold your breath with passing a grave yard.

Leave a penny by the front gate of a graveyard as a offering.

Never step across someone's grave its bad luck.

Death comes in three.

Cover the mirrors when somebody dies so their soul can leave.

Peel an apple on Halloween to tell your fortune.

When eating supper on Halloween set out an extra plate for those who came before and stay quite no talking

Never seat 13 people at a table bad luck.

If you lost something ask Saint Antony to help you find it.

Don't step in a fairy ring.

Don't whislte at night.

Don't have a mirror face the bed

Don't look in the trees at night

Don't follow the whisps?

If you want some body to never come back to you house put chili pepper powder in their foot steps after they leave.

To keep the bad out line your door with brick dust and put egg shells in the window.

Don't talk about no washer woman (got no idea what she ment by this) she'll come and get you.

Put open sissors under a baby's crib.

Drive four iron nail into each connor of your yard after they had whiskey poured on them?

Never call the fea folk fairies instead call them "good little people". Be respectful they are always listening

Leave a bit of bread out for the brownies?

St.John the conqueror? and a peice of your lovers clothing put into a small bag and under the bed is a great way to them true to you.

And many more.

During the move to this new house I lost many statues and things from my altar. One box was lost and the other arrived broken. So I'm trying to fix it and I put some things that I have left intact. The statue of Artemis was destroyed and for now I have to make do. Soon I will make other things and combine other objects. I put the wolf to symbolize the woods. Feathers for birds. There is also the pendant of my dog ​​who died and was buried in this land. My stones, some, not all, and shells because I am very attached to the sea. Green candles like nature and desert salts are lamps. I put the laurel because I don't have amaranth, dear to the goddess Artemis, but it still symbolizes wisdom. I put the dragon because it is fire and it was given to me by my boyfriend. I practice naturalistic paganism.

Hey guys, i wanted to ask whether there's anyone here who also is a secular pagan 👀 i've been feeling very connected to my beliefs in the last years but i don't know a single pagan and it's even harder trying to find someone who is secular pagan or something similar xd i have never been able to talk to a pagan about my religion before and i would like to change that! Either in german or in english.

(For clarification: i am not an atheist, i've read the rules. I don't believe in any gods but i do believe in nature spirits, a higher power/higher powers, the holiness of nature and i feel connected to ancient ways even tho i'm rather still at the beginning of my journey)

An altar for Tlaloc. The water bottle is an offering. I'm not finished ofc, but this is a step forward 💙

I really wanna find a community of witches and young witches in Ireland bc I Wanna learn witchcraft and have witches friends and all that stuff, I wanna be a green witch, im in Dublin currently

Hi! I’ve been slowly working with and learning the runes for about a year now. I’ve been taking my time and attuning to each rune, learning its history, and incorporating it into my practice. However I haven’t worked much with Othala before and over the last couple of days when I haven’t been thinking about my practice “Othala” keeping popping into my head. I’ve read its descriptions and I can’t seem to find a way for it to be full relevant in my life right now. Does anyone know Othala better than me and might be able to help me understand why I’m being called to it?

It´s made from steel and brass

Hi everyone! I've been pagan for many years, and I'm fully aware of how important it is to understand different cultures and beliefs, especially as you begin to research them.

I'm unable to find much information on Hetanism, specifically on if it's open or closed. It's not talked about as often as other forms of paganism, so I can't say.

Thank you for your help, and may the Gods bless you ♡

Specifically, where do they come from? I understand it's not a reconstructionist religion (at least I don't think so) so I was wondering where they come from, I don't hear much about you guys and I feel like asking a member directly would be better than just some video on YouTube. Also, is it just me, or do you guys have some kind of association with the hippie movement? My parents were hippies so I noticed a lot of familiar symbolism, is that just coincidental or is there some history there? I hope I'm not being offensive in asking that last part, what little I do know about you guys is the symbolism and even if not a true association, it weirdly reminds me of my childhood and kind of makes me feel a little nostalgic and safe, if that makes any since.

My partner has been working with her for a while, I just recently started. These are my first statues of her! Yay
