I think imma be a menace today and say something I've been thinking about :)
Don't y'all get tired of talking about Greek and Roman based astrology? Like there's a whole planet, with so many systems and so many different names....
And yet the Greeks and Romans got a chokehold on the spiritual community.
And not to drag Vedic either but I see a lot of folks only focusing on North Indian astrology like Sri Lanka and South India also doesnt have an abundance of knowledge to be shared. Its giving casteism/colorism and a dash of anti Blackness in a supposedly open community.
And on to the Egyptians... The only part of Africa that seems to be acknowledge and I stg it gotta be because people just took lazy to do any research.
Its only so many times something can be talked about before it comes off as a repetition. Like at this point most of us know the stories, backgrounds and whatnot because that seems like the only important parts.
And if people did their research most of the Greek and Roman deities were based off is Zoroastrianism, Kemetic and Egyptian pre existing ones.
I want to hear about Native deities and astrology, from the far Northern regions of Canda to the bottom of Argentina...African (not including Egypt famous ass) deities from all the regions... I guess more European ones but like not the places always talked about.... Pasifika spirituality because best believe every region, ethnic group and background doesn't have the same one.... Asian but like Pilipino, Indonesian, Yemeni, Afghani etc ya know the parts of Asia that aren't acknowledge.... I want to hear about the transatlantic deities, Y'all loved the princess in the frog right?
I just don't want to hear about the same shit anymore. The heavy focus on European based religions/spiritual beliefs is disheartening. The world too big for this hyperfocus on Europe (and friends).
