valarltdSo, 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...
