Reddit - Dive into anything

However, I share this bedroom with my very sweet and very curious little (Half) sister(8F) She asked what my altar was for, and I very simply explained my religion (my stepdad is Catholic and my mom told me not to bring it up ever) and explained that my altar was for giving offerings to the deitys I worship

She asked if the God had a name, and I told her that one of the gods I worship is Hades

Since then, she has been asking me for more about the other gods and giving me little things to offer to Hades(candy, juice, flowers, that stuff)

As I'm writing this, her and her friend are currently making a 'potion' and my sister is explaining how she offers things to Hades and she thinks he's really cool

She's so cute I'm crying

Community Description

Welcome to /r/pagan, a subreddit for links, discussion, and fostering community (both online and in-person) in the broader umbrella of Contemporary Paganism.

Contemporary Paganism is a term denoting modern applications of Pagan religiosity and spirituality. These religious concepts are codified into a wide, disparate terminology encompassing many different philosophical and theological outlooks. It generally encompasses religious traditions focused on reviving or drawing inspiration from the pre-Christian traditions of Europe, North Africa, and West Asia; modern paganism does not include African, Native American, East Asian or other traditions who deliberately do not identify as pagan.

As this sub is geared towards theistic paganism, and we are trying to foster a safe community for theistic pagans, atheopaganism and similar posts will be removed for proseltization. The reason we question atheopaganism is that atheism and atheopaganism often and mainly includes the disbelief in spirits, gods, and higher powers which is antithetical to the central idea of paganism. Paganism is a religion and thus you cannot be both religious and atheistic.

Regardless of outlook or tradition, however, all are welcome to join in discussion or debate. We strive not to create a singular religious identity but to be a location where members of these different religious communities can come to network, brainstorm, and get to know each other. This subreddit is an intrafaith and interfaith community, not a monolithic religious identity.

We encourage interesting links of topics and discussion, as well as fervent debate. We are also in the process of correlating a series of useful links to organizations, festivals, and other resources that are useful to our members.

If you need anything, or your post has been caught in the spam filter, please message the mods. We will gladly help you out.

Rules

Be Decent

Be decent. Racism or bigotry in any form is not allowed and will be removed. No hate material, submissions or comments, will be accepted. This includes incidents of racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, abelism, classism, etc. Racism and bigotry are instantly, permanently bannable offenses.

THIS INCLUDES BEING NICE.

Suicide Baiting

Suicide baiting is an instantly bannable offense, regardless of intent. This serves as the only warning for users. Mods will not warn you again before removing you from the community.

Cultural Appropriation

Willfully appropriating the practices of closed cultures, including but not limited to indigenous traditions and initiation-dependent religions, is subject to bans. Due to the nature of many of these closed practices, ignoring the voices of native practitioners is considered racism by this subreddit.

Internet Drama

This subreddit is not a place to bring drama from other subreddits. Should you come here with the intent of harassing users on the subreddit, you will be removed from the community.

Reddit Rules

Follow reddiquette. Remember the human.

Follow reddit's rules. Do not spam, manipulate votes, doxx, or post illegal content.

Proselytization

Non-Pagans are encouraged to interact and post here, respectfully. Non-Pagans, which include atheists and atheopagans, who arrive in the subreddit are to be informed that attempts at proselytizing are strictly forbidden and will be removed, aggressively.

Off-Topic

Comments should be on-topic and contribute to the conversation in a meaningful and critical way. This subreddit is intended for sharing of personal experiences, communication between practitioners of many faiths, and debate within the religions that fall under what is classified as Contemporary Paganism.

Magic and Witchcraft

As this is a religious subreddit, common folkcraft practices are not the focus of this space. Conversations regarding various magic systems are not necessarily off-topic, but this is not the place to ask for help creating spells, dream, sign, and general interpretation, crystals, and divination readings. Such posts can be removed at the moderator's discretion.

Promotion

If you would like to promote a survey, podcast, discord server, or subreddit PLEASE MESSAGE THE MODS FIRST. Any post that does not do that will be removed. The Mods need to evaluate anything before it is posted to ensure that the information or group is appropriate. Groups or Podcasts that are antithetical to this subs purposes will not be promoted. For all of these please check our guidelines in the sidebar and wiki BEFORE messaging the mods.

Moderation

This subreddit is actively moderated. Calls regarding rules enforcement, post removal and interpretation of the rules ultimately come down to moderator discretion. Disagreements should be brought to the team via modmail. This sidebar exists as a point of reference for the expectations of conduct for those participating in this community, but the moderation team have the final word on enforcement or implementation of the policies and guidelines presented here.

Posting Guidelines

Read our FAQ for general inquiries.
Use the report button. The mods are made aware of all issues when the report button is used. Try to take advantage of the character allowance afforded in the report feature. It is unhelpful when a report is submitted without any explanation.
Downvote for rule-breaking, irrelevancy, low content, or unhelpful content. It is not intended to be a simple disagreement button and should not be used in that capacity. Upvote for content that is interesting, encourages critical thinking, or discussion.
There should be a minimum amount of effort made in activity with the subreddit. This means, quite simply, do not spam personal blog information without contributing elsewhere on the subreddit, either in self posts or in comments. Links without such interaction will be considered spam.
This is not necessarily the place to peddle your wares. Artists and craftsmen are allowed to post their work, but posting only with the intention of making sales is considered spam and your posts may be removed as such.
A note on surveys: Please refer to our subreddit guidelines and contact the moderators before posting your survey. Surveys that are posted without contacting the mod team or that do not conform to the standards in our guidelines may be subject to removal.
Blacklisted sites: We would ask that users refrain from linking pages from the Patheos blogging network as well as the Asatru and Witchcraft subreddit due to unethical practices by the adminstration of those communities. Links or crossposts to them will be removed accordingly by the moderation staff.
Certain subreddits will have links to them autoremoved, for reasons varying from being antithetical to this subreddit to being a place we feel would be unsafe for members of the community to stumble into.
Want to promote your subreddit on /r/pagan? Please check with the moderators before doing so. We would like your subreddit to be at least 6 months old before we allow it to be recommended.
