Early yesterday morning a man shot up a popular gay nightclub called Pulse in Orlando. It was almost closing time and it was going to soon be time for everyone to leave. 50 people, and counting, have died. At once the hate against Muslims came out as it usually does when Muslims kill others. What can we do as Polytheists when something like this happens? Simple! We look at what energies are at work here. If you practice Egyptian paganism then the demon snake of chaos is at work here.
If you do Hellenic practices then Eris is at work or some nasty minor god is working. We can't allow hate to take over our thoughts and we can't allow those harmful energies to come into our lives. We have to get rid of them and we have to pray to our gods that healing will take place. Hate against Muslims is for Christians to do or for those that want to blame an entire group of people for the actions of one man. We must also say this.
Gays will still be looked at with hate. No matter how much progress is done there will still be people out there, Muslim and Christian, that want gays dead. They don't like them and they celebrate anyone that has the nerve to put them six feet under. It's not right and it's not something that I like seeing on the TV. I don't like seeing video of dead bodies and bleeding, injured, people. It's sickening and disgusting. And these feelings have nothing to do with the fact that I have a gay friend.
Terrorist attacks are wrong and it targets people that don't even know the person doing it. We can't praise and thank whatever god that we believe in that it happened. Healing is the next step and asking our gods to help the healing process. So I will be giving an offering to Hermes so that he can guide their souls to the land of the dead. To the halls of Hades and lovely Persephone. May their souls find rest in the land of the dead or in the field of reeds.
