OUTLINE OF SPIRITUALITY
I've no idea on where to start here, I suppose the board spectrum is that I'm a heathen or a pagan, i feel they are two words for the same thing but Heathen sounds better to me. I'll check the definitions I know my preferred means a heath dweller. So what does this mean for an electic like myself. I can only believe in things which make some sense to me. Now this is going to freak myself out but hey.. that's what this exercise is all about.
Spirituality 101 the beginning
Spiritual Pratices..
I fail here, I have a few things I do and a million things I mean to do, I still forget some of the sabbats, I think because they seem to be such hard work I always think that if maybe I just do something I enjoy on them , something very simple, maybe just lighting a candle and a few blood sacrifices ( I jest about the latter). But I really want a shrine a la mexicana style and some of those amazing votives and then maybe a cool shelf to do up for seasonal stuff, although i feel it will just become a shrine to Kali like my general one is.
Mindfullness..
I'm terrible at this shit, I read the Hagakura and Art of War and internet stuff now and again. I'm never going to be mindfull about certain things, I really don't care for the vegan agenda and dont' wanna hear about it. I guess I could read more about stuff and try and be a bit more empathetical about shit I dunno.. lemme see what this actually means I feel i'm barking up the wrong tree.
"Mindfulness is an ancient Buddhist practice which is very relevant for life today. Mindfulness is a very simple concept. Mindfulness means paying attention in a particular way: on purpose, in the present moment, and non-judgementally. This increases awareness, clarity and acceptance of our present-moment reality."
yeah okay I'm kinda off centre, although I'll take my advice from a different source I guess I could have a mindful hour a day! lol.. bettern midnight and 1am.
Meditation
My brain doesn't shut off as easily as it should but I've always read about the benefits, I might need a guide, but what i need is a way of adding it in to a routine I'm thinking maybe after exercise? prolly someone out there is gonna tell me that's "wrong".
Prayers and Dedications
This has always interested me, I would love to see how he ancients dedicated themselves in real life, we have accounts, but there are some amazing poems and prayers etc that really touch me but I never really read them often.
Sacred Texts.
Oh my goth!! what to read? I have my favourite books and I need to read them more and more.. but I will seek out a few new books. Tibetan book of the dead maybe? I've always wanted to know what that's all about.
Substances
Oh shiiiit.. DMT DMT I dunno about other stuff but I suppose I'm game as long as it's natural.
Voodoo!
I'm dunno why I'm so attracted to this lately but I will do some research, at the moment I know fuck all just some symbols and that's about it.
Beliefs
Well i believe in all sorts in my own way, obviously it has to make sense to me and I'm not going to cover it all. I believe that fairies are the explaination of the communication of plants. All the gods are factions of the same source.. maybe!? and a host of bigfoot and clown theories are all going around in my head.
