- Don't worry, we can have fairy tea parties with a bloody execution too!
- Chesterton ignores the fact that ancient pagans were often converted due to political and social pressure, not personal spiritual conviction. If the last act of the old pagans was to convert, the first act of the new is to consciously find their way back home.โNeo-Pagans have sometimes forgotten; when they set out to do everything that the old pagans did, that the ๏ฌnal thing the old pagans did was to get Christened.โ [GK Chesterton]
- Pagan to Christian convert coal-posting always consists of "I didn't know what to do, and I still don't know, but now it's based because I accepted Jesus."
- I am not celebrating the burning of churches. We could use them as temples instead of selling to be converted into mosques.
- Because of that dumb tweet, I received three marriage proposals in one day... ...from Christians.
- The Gods are so alive that the original myths we know have had spin-offs, new characters and interactions, but we don't know this because they have silenced, hidden and killed our oracles for centuries. There is so much new to learn that any revelation makes you feel schizo.
- Spanish fencing school La Verdadera Destreza (17th century) included Geometry, Philosophy (especially Plato, Euclides, Pythagoras and Aristotle), even references to Agrippa in the curriculum. The student needed to educate himself before taking the sword.
- Replying to @theseedstruggleDo you know what a poetic metaphor is or do you just like being stupid?
- If men share unity with God, women share beauty. The feminine enchant inspires to speak of the transcendent since the first poets, because beauty is a path to Divine.
- The sun rose from the Blue Lotus when the breath of Atum filled with spirit the primordial waters of Chaos.
- "For Plato, the ultimate task of philosophy is not to learn dialectical methods, but to regain the soul's wings and return to the celestial abode." โ Philosophy as a Rite of Rebirth, Algis Uzdavynis.
