Welcome to the Forumverse pagan community! This is an open space for pagans of all kinds, newcomers and established practitioners. Ask questions, share your practice, connect with others, and find community here.

Sister community: !neoplatonism@piefed.social

COMMUNITY RULES:

1). This is an open space. All people, from all walks of life and all backgrounds are welcome here. That includes people of color, queer and trans people, disabled and neurodivergent people, and indigenous people among others. Any post or comment that is based on bigotry, white supremacy, race science, sexism, or homophobia will result in a ban.

2). All colors of paganism are welcome here. This is an open and diverse community and you are expected to be respectful of others. Let’s show some humility and openness. This means also being respectful to non-pagans and people of Abrahamic faiths.

3). This community assumes that there will be teenagers and underage folks here at some point.

Teens: please read up on online safety. Don’t share anything here that you wouldn’t share with your parents. Don’t accept private messages from adults in this community (or any online space) without consulting a trusted guardian first. Don’t post anything that reveals your location, age, or real name. Please stay safe and think before you post.

Adults: This is not a space to flirt, and you don’t know who is behind the account you’re talking to. While this is not a community catered to underage users, we assume their presence and act accordingly. Creepy behavior towards anyone will result in a ban.

4). Posts that promote conspiracy theories, “New Age”, and otherwise historically inaccurate propaganda are not allowed. Check before you post and verify your sources! We recognize that we are constructing practices in a modern context, but accurate and verifiable historical resources are important.

5). This community does not condone the use of psychoactive drugs. Discussion about substance use in pagan traditions is definitely allowed, but it will be considered for educational and harm reduction purposes only. Don’t encourage or pressure anyone to take drugs here. Don’t post recipes for making drugs of any kind.

6). Don’t post AI generated art, poetry, or music. Come on dude, just don’t.

7). This is not the space to seek help for a mental health crisis. Pagan spirituality and the occult come with their own risks. Practice mindfully and carefully. Don’t trauma-dump here. This is not the space where you will find effective help. For reference, click here for our mental health resources. If you see content here that upsets you, please report it to the moderator and do not engage with it. Take a break from the screen and take care of yourself.
