i do think that Naruto would be a kitsune who would use his TRANSFORMATION capabilities to look like a toad and act like a toad cuz its fun, and when he gets kissed he turns to Girl Naruto and youd think he's done but then he can turn into a A Boy and all this time he was a Kitsune

#Naruto is a fox in body #toad in spirit #literally and metaphorically #naruto #GIRL NARUTO #i really like the genre of naruto fanfics about spirits and yokai #cuz thats a lot of deduction to read all thise info and incorporate it into naruto world #but also #I just really like the idea that Summons really are just yokai #and renamed to summons #cuz thats what they are #an altar #a sacrifice #a prayer #summoning jutsu #Its really cool #like really cool #and put in the fact that every clan has a religion of their own

“Paganism is dead”

No man it’s just not organized and that’s the way it should be, creating a monoculture for paganism is potentially extremely dangerous to its themes of individualism and personal practices . Yeah we don’t have temples or pilgrimages but that’s because the grace of the natural world/ our deities can be found anywhere and everywhere we don’t need temples our own bodies are pagan temples. Our own flesh and bones are structures of divinity to us, we make altars in our houses and make those our blessed places. Most of paganism is heavily private of course you think it’s dead that and anytime western culture is faced with a polytheistic system it has an absolute hissy fit.

isaac

#art #sketch #comic #religion #christianity #our sermon last week was about the story of isaac #and i found it disconcerting how enthusiastically they praised abraham's resolve to give up his son #and i can't fault him. god told him to #but sometimes i wonder how isaac felt #handing him the wood to burn at his altar #wolfy religious tedtalks #anyways i swear my other pride month drawings will be more cheerful HAHA

went down a rabbit hole of this subject.

Filippo Lippi, painter and carmelitan friar, and Lucrezia Buti, a nun, meet and fall in love while she poses as model for an altarpiece. Classic.

#dont be fooled by the canon of dynamic that seemed to get more artists going. she was absolutely into it #they eventually eloped together and gained the blessing of cosimo de medici to abandon their vows. they even had kids #also the painting thats in the first 2 is a famous of his but i cant find that its actually supposed to be lucrezia #the altar piece was another one. but he did draw her in other things after too. one time as salomè too #<- so jealous its unreal #art #oh but also dont be fooled by these paintings romantic approach he was not this handsome and also she was 20 and he was way older

☀️Deities☀️

I see so many people criticizing others over their relationships, or lack thereof, with their deities, so here are some reminders:

Not having deities is okay.

Having just a devotional relationship with your deities is okay.

Having a working relationship with your deities is okay.

Playing games with your deities is okay.

Harmless jokes with your deities are okay.

Doing fun things with your deities is okay.

Doing devotional offerings for your deities is okay.

Giving physical offerings to your deities is okay.

Not being able to do certain offerings for deities is okay.

Having an altar for your deities is okay, no matter the size.

Not having an altar for your deities is okay.

Laughing with your deities is okay.

Crying with your deities is okay.

Having genuine conversations with your deities is okay.

Being unable to hear/see deities is okay.

Being able to hear/see deities is okay.

Not being able to communicate through divination is okay.

Using divination as a key element in communication is okay.

Not calling on deities during spellwork is okay.

Asking deities to help during spellwork is okay.

Asking deities for help in general is okay.

This is your relationship with your deities in your practice. Don't let anyone tell you what you can and can't do. 🫶

It's 2am, please forgive me if there are any mistakes!
