Siin<p>My next newsletter may be a little late, though I'm still hoping I can pull it off by Friday. I've been struggling with the topic I wanted to write about, but have found myself consumed by another topic, one that <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://disabled.social/@nathanlovestrees" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>nathanlovestrees</span></a></span> brought up in my previous poll. So while I will be writing about dedicated daily spiritual practice and how it can be utilized for sociopolitical liberation, it will be another week. For this week, I'm going to be writing on the creation of spiritual practice - how we create practices from the remnants of culture that are cohesive and meaningful, why it matters, and some things I think are missing from most attempts. I'm looking very forward to sharing how we're creating shared practices here at the Ranch, and trying to do this enormous topic some kind if introductory justice from my own perspective. The two topics are intrinsically related, and I look forward to setting them up to overlap in the future. </p><p>You can subscribe at <a href="https://sigillosacro.com" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">sigillosacro.com</span><span class="invisible"></span></a> to get it as an email when it is released. </p><p><a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/Occult" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Occult</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/Paganism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Paganism</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/Witch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Witch</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/Witchcraft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Witchcraft</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/Spiritual" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Spiritual</span></a></p>

SiltiCrafts creatrix Kristine<p>What is paganism for you and what it means to be pagan? I'm not looking for right or wrong answer, I'm truly curious to find pagan definition of paganism today. If not a strict definition, than thoughts and feelings of those who proudly, quietly or just in their thoughts call themselves pagan or are trying to find the path to paganism. Can we talk about this?</p><p>It's serving pagan gods for one, celebrating the Earth's relationship to the Sun and celestial bodies to another. It's seeking wisdom of ancestors for one and connection to and taking care of Nature around for another one. It's fitting in and belonging to one and all of the above (and more) for another one of us.</p><p>What it means to be pagan for you?

FiadhMy coven gathers outdoors with the full moon. There's something about practicing witchcraft in the open air that can't be beat. So despite the cold, we went into the woods, near a lake and practiced our scrying. Have you ever tried scrying, or are you interested in how to do it? Read on...<br> <br> Scrying is a form of divination in which the practitioner uses a medium to see images. It has been practiced across time, by peoples from all over the world. <br> What is the nature of the things you see? There's no definitive answer to that. Some will say you see things from past/present/future, others will say that it gives you a glimpse into your subconscious, some see it as a way to commune with deities.<br> <br> How to do it?<br> There's many different methods and techniques, so what works for me might not work for you. We started with a meditation to open up. It helps to still your mind and to consciously go into an altered state where you are receptive to signs and signals. <br> <br> We worked with a moonlit lake and the starry sky.<br> Fix your gaze on one point, and relax. Let thoughts slip from your mind and gaze at one spot. Things may start to appear in your peripheral vision, but you shouldn't try to look at them directly (because usually they will disappear as soon as you try to chase them).<br> Try not to immediately interpret what you see, but keep your mind quiet. Interpretation comes later.<br> It might take some experimentation and practice, like many things it becomes easier as you do it more often.<br> <br> After you finish scrying, you don't want to leave yourself this open. So cleanse, close and protect yourself.
