"Wow, you're so self-aware! It takes most people years of therapy and dedication to get to that point." Thanks, I constantly feel completely disconnected from my physical being and the material sensation of my body, brain, and spirit/soul is so overwhelming that I often have to see myself as an objective third-party instead of an integrated entity. Father son holy spirit and all that.

"I and the father are one."

-Jesus, John 10:30

#you guys are going to get trinitarian bible verses every day #until everybody here learns about the Trinity #you cannot be a Christian and not believe in the trinity #im not saying an imperfect understanding of the trinity will send you to hell #but wilfully denying it will #denying the dual nature of Christ will #denying that Jesus is God is the heresy of Arianism

hiiii i posted my first good omens fic not too long ago… give it a read if it’s ur jam!! it’s a fluffy little 1k fic with vague attempts at humor in which god is describing the nature of aziraphale and crowley’s love, inspired by my wealth of theological knowledge that i have very little to do with now that i’m not all that religious 😁

#pls 🙏 #aziracrow #ineffable husbands #good omens #essentially their love is so powerful that its a living thing. like the holy spirit of Trinitarian fame

Saint Felix of Valois

Cofounder of the Trinitarians

1127-1212

Feast Day: November 20

Saint Felix of Valois was a member of the French royal family. He was ordained a priest and wanting to live a solitary life he became a hermit. St John of Malta joined him as a hermit. One day in devout discourse, a stag, bearing a blue and red cross between its antlers, burst from the bushes. St. Felix, greatly amazed, didn’t know what to say, but St. John recalled this same vision while saying his first holy Mass. When they requested to form the Trinitarian order to ransom captives from the Moors, Pope Innocent III had the same vision during his Mass and approved the order. St Felix died of natural causes at 85.

If you don't have at least a couple beliefs that would have gotten you convicted of heresy before 1300 A.D. are you even a practicing christian

#christiological heresy is very boring to me #trinitarian heresies are ways on my mind #i might even have created a few #shout-out to the greek fathers for trying to make things “make sense” #you failed at making it linear and we are still trying to get around that 1500 years later

The Mysteries of The Rose

"The rose reveals the portal that opens into the center of all things. This center is symbolized by the rose blossom." — Raven Grimassi in Grimoire of the Thorn-Blooded Witch.

The system I use in my personal practice is based not only on the dual concept of Blood and Water, but also on the pursuit of what I now shall call The Mysteries of The Rose. This system is informed by hereditary practices, ancestral veneration and the aid and perspectives of other practitioners.

One of the books that, much to my surprise, manages to match some of the beliefs that sum up this system, is Grimoire of the Thorn-Blooded Witch, where the author describes 'Five levels' of training in witchcraft, and acquiring mastery over each as 'gathering a thorn'. Personally, I view it slightly different. What I see are six, not five, skills that a successful practitioner should hone, and I see it less like levels (complete and perfect mastery being unachievable) and more like Doors that one crosses (into an ongoing process).

Then, the Doors to the Mysteries are sixfold, as six petals surrounding the center, and these doors are: herbalism and greencraft, magic, and stonecraft, mediumship, mysticism, and seership. Five of these match exactly the ones described by Grimassi, with the sixth being the addition of stonecraft. A skill, and a Door, to Spirits that are often misrepresented, or underrepresented, in witchcraft, if not forgotten and left aside completely.

These Doors are also divided in two sets of Threes. The First Set involves daily practices that define the present, tangible life of the witch, the Second Set involve Ties with the Other, with the Intangible, Spiritual world. Finally, a cross over the rose blossom represents, among other things, the Intersectedness of these skills. How none of them must be practiced in isolation, and instead, must be studied side by side, with each one supporting the others, to allow the practitioner a holistic view that connects past, present and future, and all manners of being: animal, vegetal and mineral.

The Crossed Rose then, symbolizes The Blood Of The Witch, in it's capacity to carry wisdom over generations, aswell as across different states of being. This is the Center of my practice.

#wait until I tell you about how there IS actually levels to this and it's three levels (again threes...) #(we love ourselves a good trinitarian principle) #file this post under: blood cult #having a 'blood cult' seems to be one of my most controversial takes #surprisingly #people love to jump to conclusions about it #oh that and me complaining about the WILD anthropocentrism in general that ends up with books (not just witchcraft books #phylosophy books aswell as countless other genres) #being biased as hell #you would expect witches to be more prone to challenge anthropocentrism but nope nopity nope nope #most don't even acknowledge it #my notes #traditional witchcraft #folk witch #hereditary witchcraft #traditional witch #folk witchcraft #Blood and Water #I should actually make a #Blood Cult #tag

I think a lot about Brian being Jesus.

I think very little about what God must be like.

#much bigger brian in the space sky #trinitarianism is weird #jesus is just like me and briar rose and cant be his own person and is doomed to be just like his dad no matter how much he tries #jesus didnt want to die and brian didnt get to die #(until he did i guess) #(i guess) #its ‘im insane about folklore and mythology of course im insane about brian being jesus’ hours #jesus is god experiencing humanity and brian is humanity experiencing… being our creation #and its fucking hell for him #the mechanisms #drumbot brian

on qt's bonus episode aiden asked if mormon theology even counts and as a theology enthusiast i've finally come to the conclusion that it doesn't. thank you

#you could argue mormons aren't even christian because they're non-trinitarian and believe god has a physical form

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: the more you honor marriage, the more you honor and elevate the religious life.

#Marriage is good!!! #It’s a covenant it’s a symbol of trinitarian love it’s a model of the church!!! #We need marriage!!! It’s so important!!! #And it’s precisely /because/ it’s so important that the religious life is a higher vocation #because you’re giving up an incredible good — the love of a spouse and children #for something even greater!!! #Where marriage makes the love of a man and woman visible #the religious life makes the love of God for man visible #it really is the better part.

Matthew 8:24…”A windstorm arose on the sea so great that the boat was being swamped by the waves; but he was asleep.”

It’s so funny to me what I got out of that verse. Immediately my brain went “Jesus was asleep. That means he trusted his disciples enough to be vulnerable. Did Jesus snore? Everyone dreams…I wonder what he dreamt about”

I know this is a wild question but what do you think Jesus dreamt about? His mother? His siblings? The life he’ll never get to live? The father, the god who loves him but will eventually forsake him?

marks version of this narrative, an older version, tells us that jesus was not sleeping idly, but instead that was curled up, inhabiting, maybe drooling on a προσκεφάλαιον, a cushion, or, a pillow. saccharine, warm, what a sin to wake god in this moment. i like your proposals. jesus was a mommas boy, a sentimentalist, dreaming maybe about food or about the turn of someone’s inner thigh or about how scared he was to die the same death he threw other bodies towards before. maybe he regressed, fetal position and swaying on water. maybe he told others, andrew most likely, what he missed when he woke

#ask #the non-trinitarian last sentence codes in my faith as your reading an auto-foresaking which is interesting

when starchild from ghost quartet said "when I was a baby, I was blessed by a stranger / in waters I didn't understand / and now I'm infected with disbelief and blasphemy / I'll never have a holy land / I am a ghost in the eyes of my God" that felt targeted :/

#a sock speaks #bitter work #I've been attended churches that are open communion for anyone who's baptized #and I was baptized but with a non-Nicene formula #the upci usually baptizes adults or kids old enough to choose but I was baptized really young #how much choice is involved if you're baptized at age 3? not much more than if you're baptized as a newborn #but I guess you can be baptized by immersion at 3 and that makes a difference #and like. I wish I'd had a Nicene creed-observant baptism as a baby. I'd be okay with someone choosing that for me. #but as an adult I feel like I have to act out of deep conviction if I'm going to be rebaptized. #for one thing it's a pretty serious step theologically #for another I have to have my mind completely made up because it will be an emotional scar to my parents #getting baptized in secret seems to go against the whole point of being baptized #but do I believe in trinitarian doctrine firmly enough to claim it as a matter of conviction? #I took a pneumatology class to try to figure it out but tbh it's not helping #I think I can confess the Apostles' Creed and I'm less confident about the Nicene Creed but I think maybe?? #but I'm not sure that my interpretations of the creeds match up correctly #wandering through the wilderness for a few years could be bearable but it's much harder to think you'll spend the rest of your life there #this is not my home. this is not my home. where is my home? when can I go home?

[talesfromtheenchantedforest]

favorite genre of medieval theological assertions: "JESUS HIMSELF TOOK MY DISEMBODIED GHOST TO SEE THE TRINITY, I SAW THE TRINITY WITH MY OWN GHOST EYES, ANTI-TRINITARIANS DO NOT @ ME"

Then he took me and led me to another level, which was a hundred times clearer than glass and so preciously colored that no man could describe with certainty the color, so artful and astonishing it was. There he showed me the power of the Trinity, for I saw the division of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit so that I could distinguish one person from another; and I saw clearly how these three persons belong to one substance and one deity and one power. Nevertheless, if I said that I saw the three persons divided from one another, may neither the envious nor the traitorous reproach me, they who serve only to accuse and blame others. Nor may they say to me that I have spoken against the authority of Saint John the great Evangelist, for he said that no man ever saw the Father or can see Him, and I agree with him. All those who have heard this do not know that when he spoke, he meant mortal men, for as long as the soul is in the body, man is mortal. And it is only the flesh that dies, but once man has shed his body, then he is spiritual, and once he is spiritual, he can certainly see spiritual things. Therefore, you can admit that Saint John meant that no mortal man can see the majesty of the Father.
