This is a page from Urban Homesteading (2011) by Blume and Kaplan, but the concept of bioregionalism is a valuable and necessary practice for more than just environmentalism.

The moment of chopping wood and carrying water is the moment of happiness. We do not need to wait for these chores to be done to be happy.

i don't really interact much with paganblr, but I am 1000% certain of this: if you use an ai art generator to make so-called devotional art out of computer slop--- a computer which cannot think, cannot feel, certainly cannot worship--- furthermore slop which poisons and pollutes the very Earth that all pagans should hold dear--- if you use an ai art generator for devotional art, you are actually insulting the gods, the Earth, and all the ancestors

in short: pick up a fucking pencil and draw stuff yourself, the meanest and sloppiest stick figure surrounded by cartoon flowers is superior to any garbage that a machine spits out

such a bummer that my favorite lesbian flag is not well known...

And you should, as the core of it all, let go of expectations for your Deities. Let go of what you’ve consumed from the books, let go of authorities, let go of explanations, let go of the neatness - and embrace chaos. Embrace the wilderness which is in itself God, call a name and wait for an answer. What voice sounds like home?

Gods will come multifaceted, iridescent, impalpable. Gods will break rules and expand where a mind burdened by expectations can’t follow. A chimera of a myriad faces might not want to always show only one side. Gods will change. Gods will surprise.

If the nature is untamed, so are its Deities. The wilderness has many names for each of them, a prism to choose a side of. Feeling over explaining, embracing over conforming, preparing over expecting.

this is where I share my journey in finding my path and building my faith 𓆝 𓆟 𓆞 𓆝 𓆟

At the moment I'm still taking my first steps, researching and exploring.

I do believe in some sort of Mother God that created the universe, but I don't think I can call myself a monotheist, as I believe that other Deites exist in some way, just not on Her same level.
