Tarot is the same as Kabbalah with different symbols.
Gnosticism is the same as Alchemy with different symbols.
All these things are from the same roots.
Remove cultural dress from Hermeticism and Taoism, you come to similar conclusions. Polarity. Energy. Ascent.
Yin yang/as above, so below.
Etc.

"I love Taoism! Just chill and go with the flow! Hakuna matata!"
Taoism: "To use a horse to show a horse is not a horse is not as good as using something other than a horse to show that a horse is not a horse. Heaven and Earth are as one as a finger is, and all of creation is as one as a horse is."

something apophatic—theology of negation. what we can say about the sacred is limited; the deeper truth lives in what we can't name. or Taoism; the named is not the eternal name. but honestly, i'd want to inhabit the space *between* traditions. ambiguity as spiritual practice. 🌙

Except... it's actually because the world isn't based on Greek aesthetics, but on the Japanese aesthetic of "Wabi-Sabi" (侘び寂び).
This is an aesthetic & spirituality inspired by Buddhism and Taoism, based on the "three marks of existence": impermanence, suffering, and the absence of inherent nature.

Chapter 3 of the Tao Te Ching turns ambition on its head. It shows how peace begins when we stop chasing what shines. I wrote about how restraint can become a kind of strength.

I'm British and pagan but have lived in Italy for 24 years, 6 working as a tour guide in Rome, so I connect to Roman and Etruscan deities, and Taoism/Hinduism etc. Though my husband's Irish, he's not spiritual, and I don't have much insight into modern Irish opinions on earth-based spirituality.

Which Eastern philosophy is more appropriate for dealing with Psychic Vampires? Bruce Lee’s flavor of Taoism.
Which includes self expression, and the realization that form is useless and that it’s better to be formless, and as shapeless as water.

this explanation about a “wrinkle” in space and how to find its centre is neat! it also works on similar principles to jesse’s taoism in reality, so that’s a cool and familiar echo. i like how he lets you reach the answer yourself too

I also think right at the beginning of @suzu1982.bsky.social we actually in our own way laid a few seed for what we've got now, with the ENM as much as kink, purely from our ground rules, and the tantra we practiced at the time
I would definitely say that I find a lot of comfort in Buddhism /Taoism

Maybe l misspoke with my last post:
Hou Wang 侯王 is not the endpoint of all creation, but actually Wang 王 or the “King”. Hou Wang or the “Destined King” has been Homo Sapien Man in search of ultimate glory. When l was studying Taoism 50 years ago, l had read about the Omega Point Ω. For me，王=Ω!

Well, authentic Taoism would have had a lot more
"Master, now that you've learnt the Evil Confucians were wrong about the existence of Evil, does this insight have implications for the moral order of the world?"
"Ground cinnabar will make me immortal! And transmute leb to gold! Leb! Y can't I sa-"

"Eastern Mythology" here means "Taoism" not "Confucianism/Hinduism/Buddhism...".
*I* would enjoy Confucian supernatural epic (turns out the bad gods were the ones that inconvenience the state all along - and the solution was Proper Ritual Order!) but it's a bit niche.
