An interesting--and disturbing--revelation

[valarltd]

So, last night was realm class.
We're talking about Deity and the ways of approaching it.

Most of the class is polytheistic animists. We have a Poly elementalist. And me, the nontheistic pantheist.

I blame George Lucas.

I believe there is a higher power, a life energy created by the universe. I believe gods and goddesses are metaphors and focusing devices humans create to access aspects of that energy.

When I talk about Freyja, on one hand yes, I mean the blonde in the feather cloak in a chariot drawn by cats. But what I really am talking about is strength and bravery and love and desire.

It's an interesting thing to learn that after 30 years of "Force schmorce, I got me a wookiee," I really am a Jedi after all...

Hear! Hear!

I SOOOOOO get that!

And that God so wants communication with Its creation that It can be whatever we need It to be to allow that communication. It is THAT big.
