I was born to be magic. Not feed the capitalist machine.

#Witchsky #Queer #Animism
A meme that says: born to: And it's pictures wizards in long blue outfits and blue pointy hats with long grey beards. The are doing magic and having a good time. On the bottom the meme says: forced to: And it is a woman eating a laptop, a Microsoft xcell icon, a comically large cup of coffee, and many alarms on a cell phone set to go off 5 times between 6am-9am.

"We are ALL descended from people who had Animist practices."

Animism is not synonymous with Native American Spirituality. All of our ancestral cultures practiced Animism.

Animism is also not just a trend for people who are Neo-Pagans.

Nawi & Taloa their partner. They are sitting and drumming with their elders. Nawi holds a big 18" deer skin drum that they made themselves. Taloa holds a red 13 sided drum. They are smiling in between songs. And having a good time. They are sitting outside around a fire. And there are drinks on the table next to them.

The world is so big, and I am so small upon it. #Animist #MtScott #OK #Witchsky #NatureIsMagic
Nawi standing on the top of Mt. Scott in Medicine Park, OK. They are in a retro jacket, and holding on to their hat while the sun beats down on them. The Wind moves and sings a song, and mountain calls. Nawi is reminded of how big everything in the Universe is, and how small they are in comparison.

The top of Mt. Scott, today.

It's easy to get overwhelmed with modern life. Gratitude brings what's really important into focus.

"Practicing Animism in your daily life is a call to remember that all things are Sacred. And that the Sacred is alive and well in every moment, thing, and interaction."

"In an animist worldview, humans are not seen as superior to other beings. They are instead seen as stewards & protectors of the natural world."

One of the most important principles of animism is the idea that we must protect & restore nature, not destroy, harm & take from it. #witchsky #animism
The photo is zoomed in on snails in a little dirt path, surrounded by grass. A small child's hand points at the snail with curiosity. Another small child looks at the creatures with joy and wonder. This picture illustrates how we must have the kindness and curiosity of a child to protect and restore the Earth with Animist practices.

"Animism is about taking personal accountability and drawing from your experiences, ancestry, heritage, and community to develop a respectful practice that honors your healing journey."

You can have any belief, belong to any religion, or have any ancestry to practice Animism. #Animism #Witchsky
The photo shows a black sky with a red moon in various stages of rising. It draws to mind the fact that all of us can look up and see the moon. All of us can have a relationship with the moon.

"Animism is NOT about worshiping the Earth, or Nature as a God or a Divine Power."

Although worship of Nature might be a part of your personal spiritual practice. That is not what Animism is. Animism is the belief that all things have a sacred spirit.

A soft sunset. The sun is not visible. But the purple and pink hues of the sky are. The moon rises over a snow capped mountain.

Thank you for the kind mention. It was so beautiful.

Thank you as well for bringing your energy, authenticity, joy, and laughs. I love having you around!

Listen to all my little birdie friends and enjoy a little bit of grounding out in the snow with me.

"The Old World view of Animism was that Indigenous people were primitive, and not able to understand the difference between something alive and something dead or not alive."

A picture of an Animism Altar. Pictured are some things that people might automatically associate with Native American Spirituality. Like White sage in an abalone shell that is slightly smoking. There is also a conch shell, a feather, and an offering dish. In the background there appears to be a large slider turtle shell as well.

Me trying to exit The Matrix to become the Forest Spirit I was always meant to be.

#Gay #Feral #Witchsky #Animism
A meme that says: Therapist: "Have you ever tried forest bathing? You should get out into the woods more. Trees produce ions that relieve stress, lower blood pressure, and some even find spirituality in it. Me and my friends 6 months later saying: "The human world has failed" With a creepy looking forest people in hood and horns looking directly at the camera from a dark forest scape.

"Animism is the belief that all things have a sacred soul, spirit, or life force."

Not only is nature our greatest teacher, but we can learn so many lessons just by being outside and observing nature.

Pictured is a beautiful running stream. There are lots of rocks and some foliage on the banks of the stream. This picture illustrates the practice of útiseta, Or sitting out. An Animist Norse Pagan meditative practice of clearing yourself with the water and the streams.

Who's ready to go on a magical forest adventure?

Why do we pay taxes when we could just be feral forest creatures with long beards and cool sticks?

Picture of three wizard looking dudes with pointy hats, robes and walking sticks. They are talking on a fallen tree branch in the forest. There is bold text on the image that says: "this could be us."

"The term Animism comes from the Latin word Anima. Which means soul, breath, and life. "

I am definitely a "word nerd" and I first took up studying a foreign language, Latin, in the 8th grade.

✨ What is Animism? ✨

It’s one of the most asked questions I get. 🌿 In a world that’s moving away from organized religion and towards authentic spiritually, this is needed.

So, I wrote a blog about it.

Discover what animism means, how it’s practiced, and why it’s relevant in today’s world.

This year will be a year of gratitude for my life. For honoring myself and surviving the loss of my daughter. And the biggest traumas, and the worst of all human experiences.

So for 2025, my word of the year is GRATITUDE.

Hi there!

I'm from fabulous Oklahoma. And I'm here on this platform to make connections with other queer and NB people.

Thanks for taking the time to read this! Where are you from?
