I am okay with you since you posted anime.
Now show boipucci.

To specify, I actually mean Neoplatonist, with the elements borrowed from it's Stoic philosophical grandchildren.

I've read Meditations, and am about to finish Republic, in addition to academic analysis of the beliefs.

I wanted something that can rightfully call itself Western, and therefore kin, and also deep in thought and not mere story and superstition, while still esoteric and spiritual.

I think it means to describe any take on spirituality, including a lack of it.

Srry but no cuz I have a bf.
Also I'm tempted to convert to that old semitic reilgion since my bf is part of it.

The more I read it the more I want to be part of it. It literally has gay anal sex as way of worship.

This chart will never not trigger me;

There NO such thing as MIZRAHI Judaism. All Mizrahim follow SEPHARDI costums.

How is state non-Abrahamic religions in your region of the world?
I heard Gnostics still exist in Iraq, but the civil strife is really fucking them up.

>Paganism in the US : More ritualistic and focused on Gods

>Paganism in the EU : More focused on folklore and land spirits

why is this?

Non-existing.

What do you mean by Paganism in X? Do you mean something like Injun Spirtual Stuff and Druidism? Or do you mean meaning-less catch-all LARP Paganism?

So your bf is stretching your anus every night?

cause europeans aren't overcompensating autists

It's a good way to start

After there arrive the messengers of Yam,
The emissaries of JudgeNahar.
At the feet of El They do not fall,
They do not prostrate Themselves before the Convocation of the Assembly.
Arise, for They declare Their information.
A fire, two fires!
He sees a burnished sword!
They say to The Bull, His father, El:
"The message of Yam, Your lord,
Of Your master, Judge Nahar:
'Give up, O Gods, Him whom Ye harbor,
Him whom the multitudes harbor!
Give up Baal and His partisans,
Dagon's Son, so that I may inherit His gold!'"

And The Bull, His father, El, replies:
"Baal is Thy slave, O Yam!
Baal is Thy slave O Yam!
Dagon's Son is Thy captive!
He will bring Thy tribute like the Gods.
Like the Deities, Thy gift!"

But Prince Baal was infuriated.
A knife He takes in the hand
A dagger in the right hand.
To smite the lads He flourishes it.
Anath siezes His right hand,
Astarte seizes His left hand:
"How canst Thou smite the messengers of Yam?
The emissaries of Judge Nahar?
They have merely brought the words of Yam-Nahar.
Word of Their Lord and Master."

But Prince Baal is infuriated.
He spares the lives of the messengers;
He sends Them back to Their master.
He instructs Them to give His information:
Baal will not bow to Prince Yam.
He will not be the slave of Judge Nahar.
He declares once more that He shall slay the Tyrant lord of the Gods.

"To the earth let Our mighty one fall!
Yea, to dust Our strong one!"
From His mouth the word had not yet gone forth,
Nor from His lips, His utterance.
And His voice was given forth
Like a mountain under the throne of Prince Yam.

And Kothar-u-Khasis declared:
"Did I not tell Thee, O Prince Baal,
Nor declare, O Rider of Clouds?
'Lo, Thine enemies, O Baal,
Lo, Thine enemies wilt Thou smite
Lo, Thou wilt van quish Thy foes.
Thou wilt take Thine eternal kingdom;
Thine everlasting sovereignty!'"

Interested in hearing an answer to this question

This thread is garbage tho

i think it's because folklore and land spirits came from their religions, and while the religion died off the lore tied to the inhabitants and land still remain mostly.

the folklore and land spirits died off in the New World, and so the pagans here want to get to the real source of it all, since they have nothing.

Asatru / Heathenry, in America tends to focus heavily on rituals, church congregation and daily/ordered devotion.

Asatru / Heathery in Europe can often end up seeming quasi atheist by contrast, and implements local land spirits and folktales into things rather than make do with a formulated orthodoxy.

This is just my (limited) observation, I don't think theres a wrong way or a right way. Maybe its christian baggage? Or they feel that "natural spirits" are in someway owned by native american indians?
