Deity Communication - Tumblr Posts

On my walk today, I was followed by a one-eyed ginger cat.

I'm not sure how long he followed me, at least 5 minutes, but when I noticed him he paused and waited for me by the stream. I approached him slowly so not to spook him and he batted a nearby leaf. When I looked at the plant he had smacked, it was bindweed with a Pine Ladybird perched on top.

He looked at me, meowed once then hurried further up the path, jumped over the small stream and disappeared into bushes opposite.

I'm pretty certain its a message, I'm hoping to do an important meditation/ritual with Mother tonight so am hoping its a positive sign.

Talk to me (If you want!)

My dms and asks are open to anyone, especially those who want to discuss their craft and beliefs!!

I'd also love to find some friends who worship/work with nature deities!!

I made this blog to help connect to others, even those with different views and beliefs, so please don't be afraid to reach out and ask me a question or comment about similiar experiences etc!!

Hi! You said anyone could message you so here I am! 🌿☁️

Do you see Mother Nature as the one who controls everything nature related? The wind, the growth of plants, the rivers?

Also is there any other nature entities your work closely with?

Thank you!🔆🌱

Of course, anyone is welcome to message me! Glad you're here! (I now have a tag for answering asks its #buriedanswers)

I don't see Mother Nature as being someone that controls nature, in the same way that I don't see humans as controlling our blood flow and beating hearts.

She is nature. She is the plants and the changing seasons, she is the wind and clouds and the forces that guide their movements. She is everything. I believe that she can guide these things and that she has immense power, but not necessarily that she controls it in the sense that Zeus may control lightning because that creates an image of separation between the two.

Mother Nature is self contained chaos: cause and effect play out unconsciously, just the same as within our bodies. Yes, she does have some control, but not in a wielder/tool relationship, more in a mind/hand relationship.

Does that make sense? It's difficult for me to properly explain what Mother Nature feels like to me. I can try to expand on certain points if they're confusing!!!

Secondly, I work with a number of nature spirits as and when necessary or called to! I work with the spirits of my spellwork ingredients and the spirits of my local streams and trees, I work with the spirit of animals - dead and alive. I don't have any spirits that I've commit to working with at the moment though!

can I hear more about your personal beliefs?

Of course! My personal beliefs probably sit somewhere between Pantheism and Pluriform Monotheism, but I don't really care for labels.

I believe that their is a powerful energy permeating throughout the entire universe, I believe that it is within everything and beyond everything. This energy is the universe, life, time, death: everything. It is not a god per say, it is something beyond our comprehension and understanding.

This energy is what makes witchcraft work, it is this energy we manipulate or ask to be manipulated. This energy is what connects us to everything and everything to us. I believe that this energy is conscious? Aware? It knows us, because it is us. It is not necessarily all-loving, but isn't uncaring or cruel either.

As for deities, I believe that they were formed are facets of this energy. I believe that ancient (and modern) religions came to believe in their deities, created their myths and from that the deities became real. They were formed because humans believed so deeply in them that this Energy made them real, because this Energy is all about connection and these deities helped build that connection. This is why deities can change so much over time and between practitioners - because the deities were crafted for humans, by humans, facilited by this greater Energy.

I believe Mother Nature is one of these facets, she is a way that the Universe/Energy can communicate with us, a form it can take that is closer to our understanding - and even then, we are bound by the limits of our humanity. I believe Mother Nature is real, she is a powerful deity, but she is also just a part of this larger and more powerful Energy.

I am hoping to begin veneration and work with this Energy soon - I will need to find a suitable name to refer to it (just as I use Mother Nature to refer to the goddess that I worship, who has no real name) and I am cautious to begin as I know that if I work with it, I will only be working with a watered down, tailored version of it that the Energy has created in order for me to comprehend and understand it.

And I would like to say that I do not believe that this makes anyone's deities "lesser" just because they were formed from something else. The deities are each their own beings, powerful and to be respected. And I do not mind if others believe different from me - if you are of the belief that deities predate their myths, that they were discovered not created by humans then that is your belief and it is as valid as mine.

Ask me questions about Mother Nature, Animal/Nature spirits, or other aspects of my craft!

I wanna talk to people about things!!!

Being so afraid of being wrong that you can’t move is actually the worst thing you could do for your practice.

You aren’t imposing on anyone.

You aren’t insulting the Gods. Arguably, you don’t actually know what would be considered insulting unless you’ve actually asked Them.

You’re not going to be beaten up and told you are the worst devotee ever.

You aren’t going to be told by any Deity you are morally imbalanced or impure.

The only thing the Gods are actually concerned with is the ability to get you to listen to Them which means peeling away layers and layers of trauma, biases, and patterns that take you away from Them. They would not forcibly remove you from Their attentions just because you wanted to try something new or do something that no one else is doing.

The ultimate goal of any Divine relationship for either side should always be to draw nearer to Them, not be pushed away because your discernment is inaccurate while you are learning.
