Cults of Ra would be kind of cool to see again and with global warming going to wreck our poo poo in the next 50 years we might as well take up sun worship to distract from how bad the boomers hosed us over

When I'd visit my sister, every once in a while we'd hear these really weird sounds at night. Turns out it was the neighborhood Wiccans beating on drums and howling at full moons.

They do in Greece. Some not-Golden-Dawn guys (wink) firebombed one of their meeting places in Athens a few years ago.

All "neo-pagans" are white heavyset nerds with a distinct Dungeons & Dragons vibe, but all the ones specifically into Norse mythology are also white supremacists.

the greek religions were only valid for a specific historical time period, when the world was transitioning from a spirit filled world to a material world. the greek gods and heros are the denoucement portion of the spirit filled world. nowadays you have to be into some sort of gnostic religion if you wanna contact the divine. you cant just expect zeus or odysseus to show up out of nowhere.

not to mention the greek gods never did anything for anyone, they needed more help than the humans really. Pray to Zeus to cure your cancer and he'd probably come and bang your wife, and the tag-along gods would gently caress with the neighbor's hot daughters and sons until someone ended up turned into a tree or some poo poo.

There's still shitloads of wiccans and I swear there are some normal ones but god drat do they attract a lot of nuts and unstable people. Thelema's only popular right now with the masses because it's "new" (it's not new at all, it's just getting public awareness). Other things that are popular within the pagan umbrella right now include druidism, shamanism (there's shitloads of people jumping into shamanism from wicca) and those "universal oneness" religions I can never remember the name of that believe in connected subconsciousness among all organisms in existence.

You guys should go look at jediism. A whole lot of wiccans know their religion wasn't around until Gardner. Jedis are still largely snarling that jediism isn't star wars based.



There are a lot of wiccans out there that are indeed wiccan, but bring in other faith's deities to name as "lord" and "lady" for themselves instead of the general wiccan lord and lady/god and goddess/male female standard. Wicca is a hell of a lot more than the specific deities that someone does or doesn't include. She might also be asatru or like 20 other things.

there was a gay wiccan in a mythology class I took. he worshipped the egyptian gods. probably a furry. tbf the egyptians were so ripped and macho the women had beards.


he was weird and awkward in an "internet" way. I was in a group presentation on mayan mythology, someone made a comparison to thoth, and immediately he wanted to know how that comparison worked.

they're into that, and chaos magick. a lot of them are gross nerds, but it's probably the only neo-pagan related thing that's lead to cool poo poo like this.

and then there's this gnostic mass ritual that aleister crowley created. p good parody of catholic masses.

Why the gently caress are people into Thelema? Aleister Crowley was a gross sex addict nerd who squandered his entire inheritance on pretend magick poo poo.

Lmao he even attempted to do the Abramelin, the most badass scary ritual of them all, and he half assed it and gave up halfway and claimed to be possessed by a demon as a result of loving it up.

Apparently thats the coolest you can become while practicing wicca.
