Homosexuality and Wicca [Druidic study]

Homosexuality and Wicca [Druidic study] In the Wiccan religion homosexuality is not considered a disorder or is accused as it is in several other religions. Religion preaches that you can do what is best for you, without interfering with the rights of others. Being gay and Wiccan is acceptable, since the pantheons of gods, especially Greek, have gods of different sexual orientations! It is important to deal that we [LGBTQIA +] have to be united regardless of the religion we follow! I profess to be a polytheistic pagan with main worship to the Greek gods. WICCA AND SEXODIVERSITY Essentially speaking, Wicca is a religion that focuses its faith and rituals with regard to the Earth. Founded by Gerald Gardner, a British civil servant, in the 1940s, Wicca includes Celtic deities (the original people of England and its surroundings), as well as symbols and special days, usually linked to the seasons. Magic and other occult / pagan components are an integral part of Wicca, which is also known as neo-paganism. In general, Wiccans believe in a deity called "The Whole" or "The One". The Wiccan deity has both male and female aspects. That is why she is alternately called the Goddess of God. As a Goddess, divinity is often associated with the Goddesses Athena, Brigit, Ceridwen, Diana, Hecate, Ishtar, Isis, Venus, etc. Like God, the Wiccan deity is associated with the Gods Adonis, Apollo, Dionysus, Odin, Osiris, Pan, Thor, Zeus, etc. For Wiccans, worship of the God or Goddess is an act of communion, but they believe that they need the God / Goddess so much that he / she needs them, in a curious form of interdependence. Sexuality (s) in Wicca Sexuality in Wicca recovers its pre-Christian essence, of fertility, care and self-knowledge. Throughout its history, marked by contemporaneity with counterculture, feminist movements and sexual freedom, Wicca started to defend flags that dialogue with the guidelines of the LGBT + population: the valorization and empowerment of women and women and the visibility and respect to deviant sexualities. Therefore, Wicca is not only a religious expression of the return to a life in harmony with nature, celebrating the Earth, but also political activism in search of a more just society. If the Christian tradition places us above nature, like its tamers, shames nudity and makes diverse sexualities a sin, Wicca brings a radically different view. The cult of queer deities (like the blue god Dian Y Glas), androgynous, homosexuals and transsexuals today is yet another point of inclusion for the LGBT + population in Wicca. Paying more attention to the speech of people around me - whether through face-to-face meetings or even in groups on the internet - I am appalled when I come across homophobic speeches, jokes and even “jokes” (innocent, right? #Ironia) . Homophobia is prejudiced aversion to homosexuality. To start the conversation, it is important to clarify what underlies the prejudiced discourse, whatever it may be: stereotyping. Wicca is a plural religion in the sense that it brings together many people who, in a way, fit the stereotypes marginalized by society: given that homosexuality exists in other species of animals, ours is no different in this respect, and we are also animals, like everyone else. In this sense, there would be no reason to exclude a person from spiritual practice because of his sexual orientation, since in Wicca all living beings deserve respect, because they came from the same energy, from the union of God and Goddess, an energy that fertilizes the earth and moves life ever since. Therefore, I believe that people who call themselves Wiccans and find normal homophobic jokes need to review the reasons that lead them to the beautiful path of Art.
