2025.01.31 01:51 camera-man999 Should I repot?
 | I’ve had my jade plant for four years and it’s been thriving even after I moved and had to put it under a plant light. But I’m kinda worried that because it’s growing so much lately, the roots will get tangled and it won’t have enough room to grow. So please give me some tips 🌿🌿 submitted by camera-man999 to plants [link] [comments] |
2025.01.31 01:51 FuIIMetalFeminist New mystery cults and a living religion.
The last week or so of every going on here has got me thinking a lot about Hellenism, reconstructionism, revitalism, eclectic paths, the Greek gods, and religious structures and spirituality in general. Like what is the actual difference between UPG, SPG and VPG. Not just the dictionary definition of unverified personal gnosis, shared personal gnosis, and verified personal gnosis but the difference in practical use.
What makes our modern UPG different from The ancient sources that we have access to. After all someone had to be the first to think of or experience something. So when does personal or shared gnosis become just gonosis?
And If the reason is because the ancients were more connected to the gods and the gods inspired them, then why can't the gods inspire us now? It's it's a matter of enough people realizing they share the same experiences then why do we seem so quick to dismiss experiences that many people do share because they don't align with our view or we don't have ancient sources collaborating them.
Is our religion, and I am using the big umbrella term for everyone here, actually a living religion? Or are we trying to recreate a moment frozen in time to recapture something. Do we honestly believe the gods and that they are vast and capable of anything, but if that's the case, why are we so reluctant to believe that they can communicate to us what was lost to time. They're the gods so surely they would remember even if humanity and history has forgotten.
Most of the historical evidence we have is for for public religion and ritual. It was intricately tied to the society of the time. Things like what was and wasn't miasma, what is superstition and what is common sense, Even the predilections of some Gods were changed based on the society of the time.
Just look at Athena. Some of the oldest records we have of her shows her as a mother goddess in some capacity. It is only because her femininity had to be diminished and her masculinity had to be prioritized for her to be a goddess of war and knowledge and for people of the time to accept that that she became considered Chase and virginal.
Heck these are people who straight up, literally thought you could not physically have sex if there wasn't a penis involved. It wasn't that lesbian sex was seen as lesser. It wasn't even seen it wasn't even considered a legitimate thing, are we really going to say that didn't affect the perception of say artemis 's band of huntresses and perhaps their interpretation of her as a whole.
So why then do we prioritize ancient knowledge over modern experience? I'm not saying that we shouldn't. I just want the community as a whole to stop and think and ask ourselves these questions.
Some of you may know depending on how many of my comments and posts you have read that I lean heavily toward the mystical side of things, I communicate directly with the gods through channeling. Some of it has proven to have historical precedence and basing, that I was not aware of prior. Some of it has not but has fot in so neatly that for it to be something made up even by my subconscious I would have needed mountains of notes and references. (And should honestly be a best-selling author by now. Unfortunately for my wallet I am not 🤣) Yes I use religious discernment. Yes, I am aware of all mental health related things that could influence this and have accounted for and ruled out various possibilities. Yes I have been doing this a very long time.
I'm not saying any of that to convince you to believe me. You can believe me if you want or not, it's's fine either way. I am saying it however to highlight that this is not something that I have engaged in on a whim. It's Not a young person coming from tick tock for social media clout or from someone unpacking religious trauma. This is something that I have spent much time, (most of my life has been in some parts devoted to religious and spiritual studies, since childhood) I have been contemplating, researching and verifying my experience and what I have learned for years now.
So with that background established I interact the most with Dionysus, and over the years he, along with others have shown me things, revealed epiphanies, a shared spiritual truths. I consider myself to be initiated into a modern mystery cult, and have been given the position, at least for my home and personal practice of priestess.
This isn't to say I claim to be a leader of the community or to have secret access to knowledge that people can only gain through me. Oh oh gosh that would be stressful. I do not want to be a main character, thank you very much lol. I believe that anyone if they wanted to and took the time could have the same experiences and learn the same knowledge.
I truly believe that the gods were the ones who first established their own mystery cults and they are perfectly capable of doing it again, after all they're God. Why would I limit what they could or couldn't do with preconceived notions of what is and isn't possible.
This brings me back to the question of is our religion, a living religion or a dead one?. To be a living religion you must have change and growth and innovation. You can certainly be firmly rooted in past tradition but you must be careful not to become blind to the possibilities or caged in by said tradition.
You must have an understanding of the philosophical implications of what you believe, but also remember that philosophy is not religion. Philosophy is thinking about religion and many other things. And is incredibly influenced by the beliefs and biases of the people engaging in it, whether they realize it or not.
I think we as a pagan community, and yes we are all part of the Pagan community even you reconstructionists over there. And yes, it is a community, other people and their thoughts and feelings matter, It's not appropriate to copy and paste from just anywhere just because "it feels right". This includes all of you Eclectic practitioners (put down the white sage and back away lol)
We are at a crossroads of sorts. There's a lot happening in my home country. Politically there's a lot happening all over the world. Politically, I'm not going to get too deep into that, but I will say that it has the potential to affect our lives and our practices God's no political unrest has affected minority religious beliefs in the past.
With that in mind, I think it's important to recognize this crossroads we're at a point where we can decide if our religion is truly a living religion or if it is just an academic exercise of the past. But I think to do that to make that decision. We really need to ask ourselves what we believe and why we believe it.
Does Hellenism have a dogma? Over the past few days people have told me it does but they haven't been able to tell me what that is. We have concepts that are fairly universal reciprocity, kharis, Xenia and areté. And those are incredibly important and useful concepts and ideals, but they're not exactly a dogma. I don't even necessarily think we should have one but it's still an important question to ask.
Do we as a whole believe in the gods? Truly believe in them that they are at the very least intelligent beings who could if they so chose influence and interact with our world? You would think that would be a non-question given the polytheism nature of Hellenism, but there's a wide variety of thought on just what the gods are and there was an ancient times too. Heck a big chunk of philosophy was spent, trying to decide what the gods were (My personal favorite is spheres, perfectly round and smooth in all directions like a shark. The gods are sharks 🦈🔮😂)
And how do we take the historical records? We do have the ones that were for public religion and ritual that were intricately tied to the social and economic structures of the day structures I hope we all agree are better left in the past. But then how do we change those practices? How do we adjust them for the modern age? What is actually just a remnant of the time period and not a fundamental tenant the gods find important? Who gets to decide?
And what about the history that we know happened but we don't have "proof" for? I've seen things like sacred prostitution hotly debated and while it is true that we do not have enough evidence to prove it's something that happened, we don't have enough evidence to prove it's something that didn't happen. Now I realize in academia lack of evidence is not evidence.
However, we need to remember who wrote the history, what groups and communities were marginalized, who stood to gain by certain practices not carrying on or being legitimized? Certainly we should not claim it as historical fact. However, in religious practice, leaving room for the people whose stories weren't told for the ones who didn't get to write there history, I believe that that is incredibly important. And as far as sacred prostitution goes, I can tell you there's a reason that prostitution is considered the oldest business in the world and I for one firmly believe sex workers have and still fall under the domain and protection of Aphrodite.
I know this post may seem to be a little all over the place and I have more questions than answers. But that's kind of the point. Religion and spirituality is vast, The gods are vast. The universe is vast, and it all deserves consideration and contemplation. I'm also not saying one thing is right over the other I just want to encourage everyone here to look at things in a way they may not have before, and perhaps consider things that previously they may have dismissed.
I can't tell you what the answers to all of these questions are. There's something we each have to figure out for ourselves and something that we have to come together as a community and decide on, but that's not something that's going to happen overnight and it's not something that's going to happen because of one Reddit post. It's something that will take time and effort and a willingness to seek understanding more then seeking being right.
So that's what I hope this post does, I hope it leads to discussion to people seeking to understand one another, to consider different points of view and different ways of thinking, and to engage in deep meaningful conversations about something we all love. And to remember at the end of the day Even when we have different approaches, different perspectives and points of view, even different opinions of what is and isn't respectful. We all do love the same thing. We love the gods. If we didn't we wouldn't be here.
So please discuss to your hearts content in the comments but remember to assume the other person meant what they wrote positively, If you're unsure of something, don't take offense, ask for clarification, and listen not to debate or respond but to truly learn from and about one another. And as one of my favorite religious YouTubers Aliakai says we truly are stronger together. 💖

Im 25f, been on carnivore with dairy (sour cream, cottage cheese and hard cheeses only) included for about a few weeks now, and I'm seeing some progress, not as hungry, no cravings, etc, but some days I'm constantly going to the bathroom. Is it normal and if so, how long might it last?

2025.01.31 01:51 winterreise_1827 Happy 228th birthday, Franz Peter Schubert! 🎂
 | Schubert was born 228th years ago in Vienna, the fourth surviving son of a humble schoolmaster. He was one of the handful famous Viennese composers who was actually born there. Here's one of my favourite composition of him played delicately by Richter, the luminous and serene D.894 sonata.. https://youtu.be/gcei2nCYbNs?si=7XEr5rMir56IusGZ And perhaps the best written part-song of all time, Gesang der Geister über den Wassern... https://youtu.be/e1W9__XMznc?si=SP3h_5psIFaWo61N Happy birthday x Schubert! submitted by winterreise_1827 to classicalmusic [link] [comments] |

2025.01.31 01:51 riottaco I need a rental vehicle to drive from Cabo to Loreto, but every agency has terrible reviews. Looking for recommendations and advice
I'm visiting Baja for the first time next week and after a sudden last minute change of plan, I need a rental vehicle from Cabo San Lucas to Loreto. After searching all day including reading countless threads here, I can't find a rental car agency that doesn't consistently get negative reviews apart from Cactus and BBB - neither of which allow one-way rental to Loreto.
I understand Mexico has strict insurance requirements which is often used to promise unrealistically low rates to tourists before the price double or triples. I'm looking for somewhere honest and upfront that won't present unexpected surprises even if it means paying a little more upfront. Right now I'm primarily considering Alamo or Hertz but am looking for first hand experience and recommendations.
How can I be certain that the vehicle I book online includes the mandatory insurance?
