Welcome to Litsy!

I enjoyed about half of this book. I thought it was going to be a deep dive into the different beliefs of paganism but it was really more of an us versus them with the more mainstream religions like Christianity & Judaism. There were also a bunch of discussion questions & meditations throughout the book. Some of those were thought provoking but others seemed rather condescending & most of the meditations were just plain weird.

As helpful and thought-provoking as science and mysticism are, they are only aids. They can never substitute for your experience.

What might happen to the culture if the universe were no longer viewed as a big machine, but the unfolding of consciousness or intelligence into physical expression? What might happen to medicine and biology? What might happen to religions and social structures if the society comes to believe that the will and intention of the parts create the whole? What becomes of God? What becomes of you in this interconnected living flux?

If the scientists who believe we blink in and out of these deeper levels billions and billions of times a second are correct, then your opportunities to re-create your world are almost limitless.

If we focus upon only one part of creation,
we are not loving it too much, but the other parts too little.
Never was anything in this world loved too much.

One problem with the “us and them“ worldview is that it frequently condemns the behavior of outsiders and glorifies that of insiders, even when the behavior is exactly the same.

3.75 🌟 on a first read, this will improve on re-reads.

I love physics (and need to study it more) and was not anticipating quantum physics lessons in this paganism book. #science #spirituality #paganism

Good Morning Littens. I am coming to you today to see what we can do for our next book since we have about 2 weeks left of our current book. Let us know what we should read next! Should we do a wiccan one?

#PaganBuddyStudy

4.5/5⭐ A thought-provoking exploration of spiritual beliefs, ethics, world views, etc. Includes fantastic reflective questions and activities for readers regardless of their religion or lack of. I appreciated the way the authors balanced the necessity of summarizing with the inclusion of other possibilities/exceptions. #bookspinbingo #PaganBuddyStudy

My bored reading companion, Leia. I finished the intro of Paganism. It was interesting but I'm looking forward to getting more into it.

Finally getting to start the tagged book for our #PaganBuddyStudy. I have been feeling crappy, but thinking it's taking a turn for the better.

If u are interested in joining in, you are more than welcome. Just go to the original post for the hashtag for the info.

@AkashaVampie is hosting a group read for anyone interested in learning more about Paganism. See her page for sign up information.

Hello Littens! Wanted to post about the first book we will be doing for our #PaganBuddyStudy group. It is called Paganism: An introduction to Earth-centered Religions. It is 7 chapters & an introduction. This will be a 8 week study. So that breaks down to 1 week & a day per chapter. There is exercises and questions that we will be doing along with the reading.

Hey there Littens. Would anyone be interested in some kind of Pagan Study Group? I just went looking through #Scribd to see what I could come up with for Pagan-ish books. Alot of them are Wiccan. If u are interested, just let me know. I am thinking maybe using Discord to chat about the books and we can also post here. I just need to make a Server on there. List of books in comments.

I am trying to get my learning on this cool breezed morning.

I noticed some people posting their witchy shelves for the #witchpleaseswap! This is more a mythology shelf, with a few witchy books thrown in, because my collection is scattered throughout the house!

I don‘t purchase physics books often since I read from my kindle but we went to Half Priced Books last night and decided to shake things up a little this year in our homeschool. The big kids are getting bored so we are gonna be exploring new and exciting things! I‘m excited to get started!

With Rosh Hashanah and Mabon (fall equinox) back-to-back this year, I'm enjoying planning out our joint holiday decor and feast! 😃 I thought a pumpkin spice latte was apropos for the task at hand. 🌽🍂🍁🌾🍎

An interesting chapter to read in conjunction with Dog Whistle Politics. 😊

A rare quiet summer morning, perfect for some reading and note-taking! Oh, and tea. There must always be tea. ☕️📒📖
