spirituality, belief
@frameacloud @Ulfra_Wolfe@witches.town I'm not the best source for help here; I don't "believe" in deities, even the ones I kind-of believe in. the Loki-in-my-head is a firm proponent that he's a figment of my imagination. the version of Thoth that I talk to doesn't seem to have an opinion, or at least doesn't care enough to debate it. my spiritual praxis is firmly wedged in the junction between acceptance and deep skepticism. :]
spirituality, belief
@Ulfra_Wolfe@witches.town @frameacloud thinking about it... I'm not sure *any* of my general spiritual beliefs are 100% self-made. "Terra" arguably came from Kaijima; "Rasha" started as a D&D character, in a very similar progression to how Loki-in-my-head went from movie character -> fanfic character -> "independent" headmate character. Thoth, Bast, Tiamat, even Crow (which isn't even properly developed at this point) are all obviously ideas that came to me from outside sources.

@frameacloud @Ulfra_Wolfe@witches.town and now that I think about it, I feel like deriving spiritual stuff from outside sources is *less* authentic, that if it didn't come 100% from the inside of my own skull it's "obviously just copied from somebody else's stuff."
I guess I've just become *really* comfortable with working in that zone of spiritual/magical uncertainty. :]
