#And it made me excited to finally have someone to chat to about the celts and druidry

[alighted-willow]

(Just slotting these tag here, because they're correct.)

At a previous job I had a coworker who was one of those spiritual tourism types, and one day she started going in about how the “[U]niverse gifts some people” with intelligence, skill, health, etcetera, and that those things can't be taught. She'd been referring most specifically to her impressive singing capabilities, and she was a very beautiful and artfully adorned person, meaning she believe ‘the universe’ made her special.

I pointed out to her that what she was saying had some very obvious economic, social, and ableist implications and asked if she thought ‘the universe’ decides which children get sent to choir versus to their grandparents, to which she doubled down. Realizing that my example hedged as an ad hominem, I switched gears to mention how ‘the universe’ was a direct swap for ‘god’ (specifically the Christian god) and that everything she'd said is the same stuff that's been said by Christian political organizations since this country's founding.

Apparently, insinuating someone to be religious is an insult worse than implying that someone's deteriorating health was deserved.

it does still make me insane specifically how many queer people lovingly embrace astrology. I went to a poetry workshop yesterday that was genuinely quite good but also included an option to disclose astrology designations during introductions and so many people broke out some variation of "I'm a [x] sum but I have a [y] placement and it SHOWS" girl no it doesn't. that's meaningless correlation you completely invented the causation
