Pagan In Paradise
Once again I am subjected to post after post about the emerging conflict between hard polytheists and those who see deity as an archetype manifestation. My dirty little secret is that I just scan these tirades’ that seek to make arguments on one side or the other of the argument. You see, while I support individual’s commitment to deities, as they perceive them, I am a little too busy attempting to live my faith through my actions, words and commitments.
Frankly I hold the Deities I worship in high esteem and have barely a passing interest in which Gods others worship. My interest in others Gods Is confined to seeking mutual understanding, areas of mutual interest and opportunities of interfaith action in the here and now.
I’m busy,
Fighting the effects of climate change
Seeking rights for women across the world
Confronting my own measure of privilege
Seeking a form of government that does not oppress its’ people
Protecting the rights of indigenous peoples
Supporting Black Lives Matter
Bringing compassion into my own views and actions
Seeing divinity in all that surrounds me
So excuse me if I treat your posts as if they have little to do with walking a Pagan path. I’m a little too busy attempting to put my beliefs into action to pay much attention to what others believe, my interest is in what their beliefs cause them do upon this planet.
Daily I struggle to live a life that honors the deities I believe in, I choose to leave your Gods for you to honor. Living a life of faith is not easy, and frankly, “each to their own” may be the most valuable concept we can embrace when it comes to divinity
