shakti's Journal

So, I'm a part of a pagan meetup group, mainly because I love dancing at pagan festivals (they understand the whole shakti-divine-feminine thing, and don't see me as a sort of glorified stripper substitute), and because I have certain Christian-pagan beliefs...I know it's weird, so I won't get into it.

BUT, I have noticed lately with this whole raw foods thing that my bio-energy feild feels as if it has increased in vibratory speed, and I can detect energies better, and I am all around more connected to the earth and nature in general. I've never felt such a connection to the earth as I do now. So I was thinking, 'hey, maybe I can host a meetup with the pagans about raw food fasts (since raw food lifestyle might be a bit much for beginners)?' I think it would be perfect; if anyone should be interested in eating living, vital, energetic foods, I would think it would be people interested in earth spirituality, no?

Well, I fired off an email to the leader of the group to see if he would be interested in me doing that. lo and behold, I accidentally sent the email to the entire group.

So now, I keep getting all these emails from people criticizing raw foodism and veganism and vegetarianism and pretty much attacking me about it. It's really weird how threatened people get about some things. I mean come on people, it's food for christs sake!

I've had the same kinds of experiences with the pagans before. In my experience, they seem to be even more judgemental and 'know it all' than christians! My, haven't the tables turned??

Oh, and don't even MENTION Christ around them...they go ballistic, unreasonably so! It's so strange...I would have thought them to be even more open minded given the fact that they're a social and spiritual minority.

I guess I have to talk to the new-agers if I want open mindedness.
