Not sure what to do…

Ever since I saw that Reddit post I wasn’t sure how to move forward. There are just so many things to research. I’m totally overwhelmed.

The topics mentioned are so big. Like should I be reading all about Druidism? Or Wicca? 

I did look up occult imagery and found an illustration called Absolute Key to Occult Science by Gérard Encausse. It creeped me out, but despite all of the symbols on it, none of them are spirals.

Two people commented on that post since I videoed it saying “Time is a flat circle.” I googled it. This is from True Detective season one, quoting Friedrich Nietzsche. I rewatched the show and it did not connect at all to what I saw. 

I draw the line at reading philosophy. There’s no way I’m going to crack open Nietzsche in my spare time.

If I’m going to research all of these topics, I think I’ll need help to make sense of it. And probably more than just a few comments. My oldest friend said he’d build me a Discord channel. 

He says then we can chat about it in real time. If I know I have help and this isn’t just me working alone, I’ll make myself dig into the research. I’ll try to post more often, listing everything I learn.

If I have him build a Discord channel, would you join and help me figure this out?

    I’m in. Haven’t used Discord since my gaming days…this is nostalgic. Will you post the link when it’s ready?

    Druidism and Wicca are such rabbit holes, hope you’ve got a lot of time on your hands. I’d be interested in the discord too though.

    Both Druidism and Wicca are largely invented or at the very least, revisionist

    I’d probably suggest Wicca as more of a general direction to investigate, but I’d focus more on local, folk tradition

    You’re gonna get a better explanation from a grandma who understands local ‘craft’ than from a book some British guy *mostly* made up in the 1950s

      Interesting… I don’t know a local grandma, yet, but I’ll start looking for her.

        Witchcraft Today (1954) and, The Meaning of Witchcraft (1959) arguably the foundational texts of Wicca – are… like i say… largely fabricated

        BUT are almost certainly inspired by legitimate stories, ‘Old Wives Tales’ (aka women’s folk knowledge/Mysteries) he encountered
