WHO WE ARE?
The Void Collective is my own attempt at an unorthodox/alt religious space. I want to make a space where people can discuss the taboo sides of religion/spirituality and not have it downvoted into oblivion because someone disagrees. There is also a Revolt server in progress.
Rules
- Maintain a drama-free environment. I am running this in my spare time, I'd like to not have to clean the gutters every time someone's "polite debate" turns into an overflowing toilet.
- Show respect and refrain from personal attacks on fellow members. If you disagree, then move on; I will not tolerate belief bashing.
- Prohibit spam, proselytizing, and advertising within the community. Pretty self-explanatory, but here's further explanation: No white-knighting for your religion in particular, no telling others that their faith is wrong, no hellfire and brimstone.
- Avoid spreading misinformation; stay within your expertise to foster a positive atmosphere, no lying for your

My method goes like this :
I get pretty high using my favorite meditation technique (Shikantaza) and then I make my request (Verbally. Briefly). It works good.

The Void Collective @lemmy.ml TheCynicalSaint [they/them, he/him] @lemmy.ml My own small guide on Spirit Spousing, in honour of Lupercalia.
Spirit Spousing 101
I figured I'd try my hand at writing a micro essay on Spirit Spousing, or Spirit Marriage.
Introduction
First things first, a little introduction to the concept of Spirit Spouses. Common examples can be found in the modern Priesthood/Nunery, in a nun's vows, for example. Other examples would be a devotee of the pagan Gods, or God Spousing. The concept is the same. Common examples can be found across multiple cultures, from indigent, to African, to New Age beliefs. Marriage is also a possibility, provided you can provide a Priest to officiate the ceremony; I'll discuss it in another section.
Types Of Relationships
Types of relationships can very from simple devotion to intimate relationships on par with that of a physical entity. Sexual or platonic, or something else entirely, Spirit Spousing offers a wide birth of possibilities not limited by boundaries of the physical.
Devotional relationships might comprise of anything from offerings of food and

The Void Collective @lemmy.ml TheCynicalSaint [they/them, he/him] @lemmy.ml Chaplet Of St. Cyprian, Saint Of Magick Workers
A) At the Cross:
St. Cyprian, patron of Sorcerers and Magicians, I beseech you that you preserve me from all evil intents, arts, and perfidies. May they be full of confusion, those who attempt against my life. May my enemies be confused and scattered to the winds.
Guard my vision and my thoughts that I may understand the secret doctrines without error. Assist me to grow in power and wisdom that I may serve the good of mankind.
Grant me the power to intervene on behalf of those that come to me for help. Assist me in serving those who are bound by hexes, bewitching, and possessed of evil, so that the rabid wolf may have dominion over them no longer.
B) This is followed by three Holy St. Cyprians:
Holy St. Cyprian, mage, martyr, and mystic; theurge, thaumaturge, and theophoros; saint, sorcerer, and sage! Pray for us now, and at the hour of our death. Amen.
C) Recite one Our Father on the large bead
D) 9x Holy St. Cyprian
E) 1x Our Father
C) End on the large bead with the Sorcerer

Hi, doing a small post here because I neglected to post anything on Lithia due to the fact I've been kinda drained.
I'm doing this post so when people see it they can know what this group, and by extension myself, are about.
I want this to be a communal space where people of all walks of weirdness can come together and bask in the Holy Strangeness. I do certainly confess that I don't know it all, and hope that I never do for my love of knowledge is great, but I'd still like to do something within this niche-ish community.
As for what, well, I'm leaving that up to those who show up. I will do posts here and on my other spaces, I'm still in the process of trying to figure out what exactly I'm doing here.
That's all for now, a happy belated Lithia to you all!
