Did you piss off a wizarding guild?

>>38971050
I hope not. Idk how I would. I was raised Protestant in the "Bible Belt." We got Masons in my small town (a concerning number of them, actually...) but nothing that screams "occult" otherwise.

Being raised as a Protestant (Independent Baptist) I was lambasted with End Times stuff since I was a youth. I always find the connection to the robed figures and their color schemes interesting.

>red; war
>white (and gold); conquest
>black; famine

When I saw the Red Figure, it was after a particularly nasty breakup with a girl who would go on to ruin my self esteem, friendships, and romantic relationships for the next six years or so. As a Catholic, I try to never resort to "namecalling," but this girl was like an "energy vampire." She would figure out what girl I was talking to, and steer them away from me. She would send unsolicited nudes while I was in relationships with other girls. She slept with my best friend, and busted up our friendship. She even raped me (long story, rape may not be the best word, but it certianly wasnt consensual, even if not physicallg dominated.) That's easily the biggest social "war" ive ever been in.

White figure, I don't really have any connections I can make there, except maybe my dream of being a Career Marine died, and I was disheveled enough to try to do organized crime to feel "apart of something"

Black Figure, relating to famine, is fitting. At the point I saw this figure, was literally starving (but had cigs, I know, I know...). We were eating one meal a day, if that. Was super broke, and could never get a leg up for a year or two. (Crime didn't pay, at least not well in my area)

I deff did some evil stuff; but I don't think I ever pissed off any kind of Sorcerers Guild or anything.
>>
>>38971247
The figure brining out the charred humanoid seems like some symbolism for something you did in the corps. Maybe some dude you roached or supposed to be you in an alternate world where you were hit by an IED. The white one showing up right after you left the marines seems to be the main connection, more than you leaving the marine corps? Maybe? You know your life better than I do, but symbolism for conquest popping up after you left the military makes sense.
>>
>>38971050
Also, to note, we DO have a few people who "practice" witchcraft or whatever. Theyre the "ill sick demons on you!" type of people, but I think it's mostly just a cultural backlash to how wild, unfettered, and scandalous the Protestantism is in my area. The types who say that stuff are usually forgettable, as they are sort of social outcasts (or at least they were, post 2012, that stuff is on the rise around here)
>>
>>38971288
There is just a general rise of people no longer following christianity, which I am a pagan so I'm neutral on the subject (lot's of annoying idiots now). I do think Satanists still fall under the Abrahamic umbrella though, it's just going against the norm.
>>
>>38971284
I agree, I feel like the timing of the White Figure is somehow significant, but I've never been able to "pin it down." War was my six year struggle against a clandestine operator. Famine was my two year struggle to literally eat food (which is wild, really, cause everyone in my home were a band of theives, and we stayed stealing food from big corpo; but it's as if it was "never enough." When I did make a lil money, it seems like the food I bought somehow went longer or was more filling. Idk, maybe im tripping.)

Conquest is a bit harder to find a connection that satisfies, but I feel like its deff connected to my service. My Marine Corps experience was super lukewarm; I was infantry during GWOT, and literally never did any infantry stuff. Only deployments available to us were floats. I did miss a combat deployment by "luck of the draw" though. They needed 20 guys to fill in for a unit deploying to Afghan, and for whatever reason they pulled the 20 from the bottom of the roster instead of the top. My name was second on the top of the roster. I literally never saw them start with "Z" ever again. The fact it only happened once, and in such a pvitol moment for my career has always stood out to me.

Now I'm glad they started with "Z", desu. I sing a different tune about GWOT these days...
>>
>>38971359
From that it may be the figure was telling you how lucky you were. Likely showing you what could have happened to you otherwise.
>>
>>38971382
The way you're talking about it (or at least how I'm interpreting you) proposes the idea that maybe these apparitions were some sort of omen, or herald; rather than the root cause of my struggles. I've never considered them to potentially be "neutral" figures before. I always considered them to the the "orchestraters" of events. Interesting insight, whether you meant it that way or not.

Also
>There is just a general rise of people no longer following christianity

This is true for my area, but in a different way... maybe? (Almost) everyone around here is still some flavor of Protestant; but it just seems like everyone is spiritually dead. It's harsh to say, but it's what it seems like. Its as if 2016 hit, and everyone began spiritually rotting. I don't think ive noticed a "spiritual growth" in many people since around that time. I've seen people change allegiances, so to say, but they usually carry over the same waning zeal. It just seems like people aren't spiritually present anymore, which is so strange. I'm not immune either. I feel it clawing at me, but I'm fighting ridiculously hard to keep my faith and spirit alive.

So its like, they're still "Christian" in name; but not in any practical way. They just kind of do what they want, and pay lip service to Christ. I haven't seen someone (other than myself or my wife) live out a spiritual conviction in a long while. Everyone seems to justify their bad behaviors one way or another these days. You can't even confront them about them (which Christians are suppose to do), because they'll literally just shut you out of their life altogether. Back a decade ago, when you confronted someone about a sin, they'd at least feel bad and say "yeah, im struggling. I do need some help..." but it aint like that no more.

Idk, maybe thats too "in the weeds" any maybe seems a bit "main character" of me to say, but damn. Thats my experience.
>>
>>38971532
That sounds like it would make sense, part of me still thinks its just like bringing it up after.

I think part of the spiritually dead thing is just I think Christianity, at least the most modern traditions, aren't really meshing with people anymore. I was raised agnostic since my dad was raised protestant and my mom was raised catholic. Ended up pagan just since the actual practices/decentralized nature of it fits me more. Plus now you keep getting those oddball tradcaths who act more like muslims or mormons and are insufferable. I think some of the recent change in spirituality could be partially that, with people being put off by some of the more out there people. A lot of the new converts seem to be doing it off of aesthetics alone.
>>
>>38971662
>Plus now you keep getting those oddball tradcaths who act more like muslims or mormons and are insufferable.

I would consider myself a "traditional Catholic", but not a "tradcath" if that makes sense. I find that Tradcaths are actually only LARPing for a revival of 1800's Catholicism.

Im more in the 1400-1500's, myself.
>nudity isnt sinful, lust is
>modesty is about dressing honestly, not "hide dem tiddies"
>Church should be a big influence on everyday life (bring back all the feasts and celebrations, pls)
>Patriarchal society (modern Catholicism is just Feminist Lite)
>Church encourages Christians to actually stand up against injustice instead of "just trust the secular system bro"
>Christians fight to protect and preserve the Christian way of life

I may be a Traditional Catholic; but I aint a Tradcath lol. You may dislike me even more than a Tradcath, but it is what it is. You seem chill, so I'll say too much about myself

I agree with basically all of those even though I'm pagan, mostly because most of those plus allowing pork and alcohol are the only reason christianity spread into Europe to stay.

I do think the modest dress thing mostly boils down to the same reasons even modern modest clothes are lighter materials than before. Mostly just because we have central heating now and most people aren't spending most of their caloric intake on simply maintaining homeostasis. I think most of the "immodest clothes" ei short shorts and tank tops or whatever girls are wearing now are more for other women but then again our views of modesty have changed a lot. Used to be super common for kids to not wear clothes and for laborers to be naked. At the moment we have a weird both puritan society but also lax at the same time.
>>
>>38972155
I feel like theres a Lord of the Rings meme for this moment... lol

Sad that so many modern Catholics disagree with the bulk of Catholic traditions and teaching, but claim to be "traditional" (read 1800's Catholic). Yet, on /x/ of all places, I find a pagan who seems to agree with the actual traditional opinions of the Church. It's wild out here. Crazy how we took different walks to get to same/similar conclusions on some pretty fundamental elements of morality.

Also, Puritans and Quakers influence are the scourge of modern America, and most people just don't realize it. A big push towards Catholicism for me was doing ecclesial (sp?) study on American Churches, and finding the fingerprints of Puritans and Quakers on all of them (save Catholics and Orthodox). The post Puritan/Quaker society has certainly effected American Catholics in a bad way, but at least it doesnt have its fingerprints all over it. At least the Catholic Church tried to resist (until about World War I, give or take)

I wish I could make people understand how warped Puritan/Quaker views were, and how they unknowingly follow Puritan/Quaker traditions to their own detriment. I percieve that the radical atheist wave (in America) is a response to Puritan/Quaker influence. All the original Puritan/Quaker strongholds are the most atheistic now.

I don't know if it counts for spooks, but my fiancee had a dream of a creature, which maybe you guys can explain what would it be:

-Demon from my dream-
It had the shape of a horse and a corpulent humanoid from the waist up, I would even say that it had the characteristics of a bull, it was similar to a centaur and a mimotaur mixed together, but the face was not bovine. His skin was gray and embossed, reminiscent of the skin of a hippocampus in some parts, it was like armor, but it was his skin. The face was indescribable, it looked like the balrogh from the lord of the rings, and it had two wide and thick bull horns on the sides, it didn't look big in size, but extremely strong, I knew in the dream that if I fought him directly I would lose, so I focused on fighting at a distance, but he had a battle axe in one hand and that gave him an advantage.

I was like with some kids or something. I know they were creatures that I was protecting. I don't remember what they were. But I felt that this thing was manifesting itself in different forms and only in one part of the dream I could see that form. Something told me that it was its real form, and what it wanted was not me, it was what I was protecting, so I had to fight it or else it was going to take them away.

I remember I had to fight from a distance throwing things, or with my bow [which lol, came out of nowhere], because the battle axe he had was one of these long ones with double blades, and the cuts he threw sometimes buzzed.
It was a really bizarre vibration, my body was on fire.It was like every part of my mind was screaming beware.And the worst thing is that it was also fast, so more than attacking I had to spend it dodging. It's weird, normally I don't lose when I dream this kind of confrontation.
But in the end I escaped with what I was protecting. But I didn't defeat that thing.

So basically that's what she dreamt about. I don't know if it is an important detail, but I'm a Christian and she isn't.

See the thing about European paganism, and pretty much every religion, is most of it is an overlap, at least for the cultural parts. Arguably the trinity is an indo-european concept or at least very similar. Wotan sacrificing himself to himself to learn the runes isn't that different at least conceptually and in terms of significance to Christ doing the same though for differing reasons. Also part of it is you have the Havamal, which is effectively the same as proverbs, it's effectively old man advice from a farming society. Granted there's more about swords and boats but it's still similar advice. I do think Christianity's influence on Europe is overstated in terms of art and culture, as without it we'd be in roughly the same spot maybe without the puritans in America. Well and maybe now that without the pagan focus on ancestor veneration that can be some effect.

I don't really have an issue with most Christians, but I do think for most people of European descent, it simply doesn't fit us. My biggest issue with how modern Abrahamic religions are acting, and by that I mean those very vocal minorities you get in any group who people view as the whole group, all seem to have converged onto being way to prudish about everything. "Please pray for me I drank some boxed wine and got a little drunk and saw a demon" type people, who treat their religion like an aesthetic or a club and while the study all the theology imaginable view a scantily glad anime girl as worse than satan. It's weird, like dawg it's erotic art and alcohol, humanity has had that for ages, we've had alcohol around longer than cats, thinking the cavegirl next door has nice tits is older than fire.

Hit the character limit.


Too many people now are simply educated beyond their intelligence, which goes for everything from politics to religion to ecology. An average IQ midwit going to college for forestry is why the forest service is fucked. I am using that as the example since I am a forester and it's one of those fields were there are so many interlocked interconnecting things that seem simple. Granted some parts are dead simple, don't plant shade tolerant trees in a south western aspect stand that was recently a clear cut, every tree is going to be roached and die. I think it's simple since it's a puzzle and I am just autistic, but the amount of people even in the field, who don't understand that if you have too many trees it's unhealthy and it's likely better to go in and log them instead of letting a wildfire destroy a hillside, is frankly baffling.

I'm sure me also being in forestry has affected my spirituality since I'm often in the middle of nowhere, but my spirituality definitely has affected my views of the world more. My friend was always confused by my views since many are contradictory without thinking about it, until I explained I am pagan and genuinely have many of the same values/ and views that would be around back in the day, of simply getting things done even if it seems harsh.

>Too many people now are simply educated beyond their intelligence, which goes for everything from politics to religion to ecology.

Bro.... this. I don't think I've ever seen a string of english words put together that explains how I feel, until now.

I actually hate knowing as much as I do, unironically. I hate researching, I hate the stress it puts me under because I take it seriously. I hate the deep dives and rabbit holes I go down in search of truth. Before I converted to Catholicism (before it was even on my radar), I did a bunch of research trying to figure out why it sucks to be alive today (gross simplification). In my research, I accidentally "reinvented" a handful of Catholic Doctrines; just to find out these ideas already existed, and have for two millenia, but just aren't publicly taught anymore.

I hate that whole process, but I feel like I must do it, because so many go on believing such nonsense that is actively ruining their lives. I would love to have trusted authorities and just do my thing, but it's all so messed up I have to try to be "smart."

I wasn't born to be "smart," dawg. It emotionally and mentally drains me, constantly, trying to suss out all the nonsense. But I must subject myself to study well beyond my capacities, for the benefit of my family.

Idk if that makes sense, but I really resonated with you saying that.

In 2018-2019 I worked over the summer at a cash toll booth on the Pennsylvania Turnpike. I worked mostly evenings to midnight in a four hour shift and only had one odd event happening during that time.
>late night about an hour out from my shift being up and just dicking around on my phone
>occasionally have to let a trucker or car through but that late at night its mostly people using EZPass or just not driving across the state
>eventually hear this mean sounding engine and look out to see a cherry red rat rod that rolled low to the ground
>comes up to my gate, but doesn't pay immediately and instead kills the engine and pokes his head out to speak
>"Woah, slow night or what! How much for the toll, sonny?"
>it was a bald older guy who wore an equally red suit and black, thick rimmed glasses
>make small talk and ask if he was coming from a car show or something and that i liked his car, and my dad wanted to make a rat rod too
>said he was just out for a drive since he could speed this late at night and that he had to be somewhere tomorrow anyways
>asked where he was going and he said he was going to a meeting tomorrow
>he then asked me about my dad and said "Well, if he wants one like this, I'll let you buy it from me!" in this really chipper voice
>i asked how much and he looked me over and shook his head, "Actually, not right now, but maybe some other time."
>i was confused and just said how much the toll was which was a dollar
>give me a $5 and tells me to say hi to my dad for him
>he peels off leaving no tire marks and doesn't even have break lights so he's gone quickly into the night
>get a text from my dad like five minutes later saying he found a rat rod on ebay that he wants to buy and if i want to put some money towards it with him
Just a very strange circumstance that I didn't feel creeped out by but definitely know something was going on with that.

Oh it's shamelessly ripped from a craig and terry song. Pretty good logging music. I believe it's on the endangered species album, the the song is common ground. Good album about the frustration of loggers vs environmental laws that don't actually make sense. Plus gypo crummy is an absolute banger when you're post work drinking.

I do think that's most peoples issue, and arguably it's evolutionary lag. Basically evolution has moved slower than we have progressed. That's why we get fight or flight responses when a pretty girl talks to us. But we also have evolutionary lag with culture. The modern culture of everyone being special isn't really accurate. No offense to you but I think most people would be better off doing menial labor. Not everyone can or should be a forestry turbo autist. There is a reason humanity was arguably blessed with a segment of the population having autism or adhd or ocd, having a detail oriented autist is going to help your tribe a ton, same with someone who's restless unless doing something or needs everything exact. The whole thing of "you need a college degree for this job that is basically sending emails and doing meetings" is stupid but exists because highschools don't teach that as they should. That's simply cultural evolutionary lag. I'm in uni at the moment, I have about another year until I'm done, and I am definitely not the best academically but those who are only focused on the grades end up missing the forest for the trees (pun intended), and while they know the book stuff, they'll never have an independent thought and struggle outside of the forest service. It's an autists field, and if you aren't autistic or at least able to think for yourself, you'll be okish. Which is fine for them even if I could never do that. Some people are just going to be average and that's ok, you don't need to be the best.

Same general style, but no. It was black. Ultimately said no to it because it was like $5,000 and a few states away.

>In Iron John, the prince, disguised as a knight, rides a red then a white then a black horse. These colours have a logical symbolic progression in relation to a man’s life: the ‘redness’ of his emotions and unbridled sexuality in younger years; the ‘whiteness’ of work and living according to law; and the ‘blackness’ of maturity in which compassion and humanity have the chance to flower.

>time to put down the Book of Revelation

Well, I no longer subscribe to the Protestant mythos expounded from the Book of Revelation. I certainly consider it divinely inspired, and prophetic, I just don't trip over the details anymore. Spent two decades doing that and never got it right even once. I take the Catholic *shrugs* "it means what it means, we just don't really know exactly what it means" approach now.

But I've never heard of Robert Bly, and presuming you're not lying to me, the colors and order of the horses and meanings (albeit, a bit vague, maybe vague enough you can use it like horoscopes) is interesting, and relevant to me.

>red, emotion and sexuality
>appeared to me after a breakup, emotions were high, and this was the first girl I ever slept with
(Also, the red figure had a "tarot meaning" if that means anything. I remember googling it frantically, finding a red cloaked tarot card, and the meaning being something like "change your course, or you gonna die." I don't really believe in tarot cards, but that did happen.)

>white, law and work
>just left marine corps, my first "job" and it certianly has the "law" aspect, being a gov job

>black, maturity, compassion, humanity
>???
This ones a bit of a stretch in my case. That period of my life was the most depraved, godless, compassionless, dehumanizing period ive ever experienced. And the ex mentioned above did a number on me, but those couple years were worse. The only thing that changed my trajectory was getting put in a position to murder a man, and having this sinking feeling that God would abandon me if I did it.

Red and white are p accurate. Black, not so much. Still interested in the color scheme and line up of the colors. The way I experienced the apparitions "goes against" the Revelation order, being white, red, black, and pale. So Robert Bly's proposed order is a lot more relevant.

Incase it wasn't clear; I did not kill anyone. I ended up in a position where that was the expected outcome, but I just dipped out instead. Real turning point in my life. Don't do crime. It will lead you to crazy places.

red, white and black are common in alot of religions for some reason, and folklore. snow whites mother prayed for a child 'as red as blood, as black as iron, and as white as snow', which gave her snow white, who had lips like blood, hair like iron bars, and skin white as snow
