Altars

I remember somebody asking me to show my families home altar. When i asked my Grandmother, she was not too keen on it. So I asked her if I could show you guys the smaller altars and statues that lay around our house, and she agreed.

I’ll also be sharing some of my siblings personal altars, since they don’t care if others see them.

( @beastcpu )

(fair warning, we have quite a bit, since we live in a rather large farmhouse. i’ll only be posting my personal favorites at this moment)

(also, most of the altars you’ll see here picture a statue of the Virgin Mary. That’s just how we as a family like to portray our Mother. when i show my siblings altars you might see more diversity based on how She appears to them.)

(ok sorry this will be my last note but i just want everyone to have full context lol. in my house we have this little thing where when you pass a statue you should reverence towards it. even if it’s just a little head nod, or make the 5-pointed-star over our hearts, or a full on 90 degree bow. most of us don’t reverence towards every statue or altar, only ones that we feel the most drawn to or called to reverence)

🌻🪻🌞

^ this is one of the first things you’d see when you walk into our home. when i walk in it seems to remind me to thank Her for bringing me back safely, so i do.

^ one of my favorites because She looks so lovely here. i like to give Her reverence every time i pass Her.

^ here She is on my sisters vanity. usually my sister has a little candle lit at Her feet or some little candy for Her.

^ this is a little table in the hallway where our rear entrance is. my family has gotten this funny little habit where we place our keys on the table for Her to watch over. we like to reverence Her when we’re leaving the house and i always ask for Her protection and blessings while i’m gone. a few of us reverence when we return to the house as well.

^ My younger brothers altar. he wanted me to tell you all that although he’s not the best at keeping up personal devotional time, or offering Her things, he likes to keep a fresh flower by Her feet. in his words: “i don’t know, i guess i just want Her to know that i haven’t forgotten about Her.”

^ although he doesn’t live at home my older brother sent my mother this photo a while back and i’ve asked him if i could share it and he agreed.

^ the last one i’ll be sharing today is my older sisters. this is her pride and joy because she spent tons of time going through thrift stores looking for everything lol. her favorite things to offer Her are fruits.

and that’s all :) i hope you all enjoyed this, and my siblings send you all many blessings. they want for you guys to know that they hope you will recognize that there are many shapes and forms the Goddess comes to us individually, and we should honor Her based on our individual experiences.

Happy Hathor/Voiś/Hadora/Voish There are many names for this particular month! I referenced this older Aristasian calendar. I made this calendar page for a project I'm working on. I plan on making some more of these for the future.

I don’t say things like this often, but this is a book I think everyone should read!

It has inspired me to make my first (authentic to me) altar. Women have created our own seperate space vía home altars for millennia…In pre-historical times we see evidence of this, we see it all over the world stretching back into the inky depths of time…Whether in highly patriarchal Ancient Greece making their hestia the center of their home, Mexican mothers passing their devotion to Mother Mary / Mary of Guadalupe via home altars, Hindu women creating gorgeous home altars for Durga or Kali or any of the numerous Hindu deities, whether she be a devotee of Guan Yin, or of Yoruba…Women create true religious life by blending the religious with the mundane, by creating sacred womens cultures formed around home altars, by creating power denied via patriarchal religion through home altars…It’s divine.

Quotes:

“I ventured to ask Virginia why she kept an altar at home, she simply replied that it was a “beautiful necessity.”

“…historically it has always been women who are more likely to keep or reinvigorate old practices alongside the new, which are usually a result of male-determined war, conquest, or ideological transformations.”

“the altar is…The meeting place of the sacred and the mundane, the parenthesis between the two worlds…where communication with the ineffable is possible…altars are very important tools used for facilitating the interweaving of the two worlds.”

“For a woman, keeping an altar is a distinctly personal assumption of relationship with divine ally’s in whatever form they take for her.”

“For Wiccans, the altar is foremost a setting for the tools that are ritually used to invoke blessing and change…For many, the women’s altar is itself a sign of religious immanence by virtue of its ancient emergence from the natural world [explanation of first altars being piles of stones, etc]…Other women adopt the altar as a source of their own self-nurturance…As a mirror of self-reflection, growth, and change, the altar becomes a site where women claim and exercise an unencumbered sense of their own spiritual effectiveness.”

Don't mind my messy living room. I'm still making things and catching up on paperwork. Here's your sneak peek at the next edition of the CDV. It will have adjustments made to pagination, verse numbers corrected, and better margins. I'm currently in the process of working through it to make sure the typeface works well. I will be republishing this through Lulu. (Yes, I have a love hate relationship with Lulu, but I am working to get this out at a better price than the $20 that Amazon's shenanigans forced earlier in the year. So far, Lulu is looking like the site that I can get to work for me right now.)

my (filianic) reading challenge for 2023

1 Read The Clear Recital!

2 Read an academic book about female-centric religiosity (Sjoo, Estés, Bolen, etc.)

3 Read a classic fairytale (as witten down by Grimm, or Andersen, or other folklorist of your home country) centered around some feminine archetype (Baba Yaga, Cinderella, Snowhite,..) and study relevant literature about your chosen story

4 Read a biography of a woman you look up to

5 Read a biography of a woman you despise

6 Choose a Marian apparition and study it using multiple sources

7 Read a text written by one of our Madrian foremothers (as compiled in Opera Omnia I. & II.)

8 Read a book about folk traditions of your home country

9 Choose a topic regarding some natural phenomena and study an encyclopedia about it (flowers, crops, weather, sea, trees, animals, astronomy, rocks, crystals, fish...)

10 Choose a goddess or heroine from any pantheon and read stories about her (multiple sources, multiple translations,..)

11 Read any contemporary fiction book by a female author

12 Enough with the reading - now try to write something, anything - a poem, short story, essay, maybe even a whole novel, or if it all sounds overwhelming, at least try to compile notes and gather your thoughts about previously read texts.

Thou art not thy body, nor is thy body any portion of thee. It is an estate which thou hold’st for a time, and after a time shall pass from thee. Therefore, have governance of thy body, nor let it be in any thing thy ruler. Keep it in purity as a temple built of earth and a place of devotion.

HELLO FRIENDS!

I'M BACK!! It's been so long, I decided to make a new blog as a fresh start of my approach to Filianism. Some of y'all (if you're still here) might have known me once upon a time as lark-looks-for-god, or the-witch-and-her-rosary waaaay back when. I've been practicing Filianism off and on for about a year or two now, and was having a lot of trouble with the feeling that I never felt devout enough to really call myself a "proper Filianist". I have chronic health issues that sometimes keep me from practicing in the big and open ways that I would like to, but I've been working on finding little ways to bring my faith into my everyday life and keep the Divine connection that's so important to all of us alive in me. <3

That said, I've found that my personal expression of Filianism has a decidedly Pagan flavor to it, approaching soft polytheist as I tend to approach Dea mostly through the Janyati. I am not a Chapel Filianist and have some interpretations of texts that seem to be different than the community at large, but I find this delightful and hope we can learn from each other! I've made connections with a local pagan/witchcraft community in my city and have been open with my faith tradition, and the wonderful people I've met there LOVE it!

Please feel free to say hello if you wish! I would love to meet new friends and reconnect with old! ^ ^

idk how I had never came across the title Empress of Hell for Déa/Mary before, but now that i did, there's no going back.

thinking of the Empress of Hell shattering the gates and liberating all souls makes me feel more loved in my mistakes and imperfections. the part (in some renditions) about liberating Irkalla herself makes me smile that even the most marginalized or demonized of us by societal standards will always be embraced and are worthy of love.

I got a few vouchers to use at a bookstore for my birthday... so I went to the city center and got a few (ie a lot of) books I had on my list for a while now, mostly about female divine power - by Pinkola Estes, Brinton Perera, Souzenelle (but also a few catholic books like Faustina's diary, Filianism is my religion, but studying Christianity is my hobby, to explain the mixture of books). Anyways, iced coffee is a must in this weather, Dea, bless all the baristas in these trying times 🥵🧋🍦

(Oh and I also did manage to read one book at the bookstore. It was super short and easy and tbh I am glad I didn't buy it, because for me it really is only a one-time read. It was:

Flynn, 21 Ways to Worship: A Guide to Eucharistic Adoration, 2012)

5/100

i feel like a lot of time people have this idea that you absolutely need an altar to connect with the Goddess. i think this isn’t exactly true. while an altar can be important in certain aspects, not having one doesn’t have to make you feel like a fake worshipper or ‘separated’ from Her.

remember, She is everywhere. She is in everything. you are never separated from Her because She is in you and with you and around you. when you wash the dishes say Her name as a mantra: She is there. when you sit outside basking in the sunlight, feeling warm and safe, that is Her. when you help out at a soup kitchen and spread love, She is the love you spread.

try to find ways to connect with her that you enjoy and are safe. listen to goddess chants, play music for Her, pray, meditate, anything at all. She is the All-Sufficient. the All-Merciful. never think She will not be with you even if you can’t have an altar for whatever reason.

Many blessings to you all.

the Critical Apparatus to the Eastminster Library is available on archive.org

This is a very in-depth, concise, look at the origins of Filanic beliefs. And because they both have their origins with the same group of maids, it is the same for the early days of Aristasia.

Many of the things I’ve posted are written about in this book.
