Luna's Crone
last night, i went to a fb of someone whose videos i follow and she wondered what kind of name to tag non-pagans with, muggles maybe. To me this was an insult. Tagging groups. But she did delete my post which probably was for the best, not that it was abusive or anything. And another person says pagans hate it when a pantheist says the are science/nature based. Well I am. All my life I could not find my niche, I finally find it, and put myself where I wanted to be in this niche and then to find I am disliked for choice boggles the mind, the soul, and my damn feeling.
I have always loved science and nature (especially trees and the night sky) and became a pantheist when I was 8 years old. Although I didn't know there was a name for it other than "bad person", "atheist", devil worshiper. I knew I was none of those, because i believed in nature as the Creator. I tried to be a pagan for a while but it just didn't quite fit. I held on to my celtic spirituality. and then one day, there it was, Pantheism.
But why would witches and pagans put me down or other people for having their belief. I am a bit confused. I know there are always going to be the name throwing nay-sayers. But to come from people I respected and admired hurts.
I am sorry but I am a geology freak (includes rocks), astronomy, astrophysics, planetary science especially off world. And of course physics. All these things tickle me pink. Plus I live on a crest of a mountain in West. PA and have land, surrounded by farms and such, and I have a horse. And i hug my trees, literally. Willow and the moon call me. I even have a huge willow tree and quarter moon tattooed on my back.
Are there others out here who don't appreciate science? I don't believe in a lot of pagan things, but Gaia has always been my mother, Luna my sister, guide, and guardian, and Nature, the Divine Creator. We humans have to name things. And now I have adopted Spirit as a spiritual energy force.
I hope someone chats a bit about this, cuz i have no where else to turn to.
