https://rotwork.wordpress.com/services/confessions/
My confession-taking practice is in honor of Tlazolteotl, She Who Devours Our Transgressions, the Great Mother always listening, hearing, healing. It's also in honor of my ancestors, all of whom took too much with them to the grave.

Tlazolteotl, Goddess of transgressive sexuality and desire, She Who inspires lust and She Who heals our excesses. A WIP.🙏
She is traditionally depicted by black paint around the mouth, a symbol of her role as Filth- or Sin-Eater.
Inspired by this post, which is about Eros but I feel describes Her in its description of gravitational force between people: https://mas.to/@Palpapeen@calckey.social/110481744331499526

311 followers · 343 posts · Server mas.toPart of my ancestor and devotional practice for the past 3 years has been to provide a pagan/polytheist confessionary, now open for 20 days annually and inspired by a historical tradition. Starting today, it's open!
You don't need to worship my Gods, it's open to anyone who needs it, and who can participate respectfully.

I'll be giving up meat, alcohol, caffeine, THC, snacking and takeout, and focusing on whole, simple foods prepared at home.

*Not His birthday per se, but it *is* funny to think that He has a birthday every 20 days.

228 followers · 789 posts · Server mas.toPutting together a #xiuhpohualli resource for teochan.org this morning, and discovering that there are a few common translations of cempoalhuitl ("month") names that make NO sense!
#Tititl, for instance, is constantly said to mean "stretching", or on the other hand, "shrinking". But "titi-" actually means "belly". Another one is #Izcalli, which is commonly reported to mean "rebirth". There's no attestation for it; "iz" means "here" while "calli" is "house"!

I have a book about #Malinche with this painting by Alfredo Ramos Martínez from 1940, and I've begun to use her as the face of all my women ancestor workings since I don't have any good photos of my great-grandmothers. I set up a small little shrine for my first #MothersNight last night, using the book, lighting a candle, and offering some cranberry beer.
CW for eye contact.

180 followers · 452 posts · Server mas.to@khthoniaa In #Huehuemexicayotl we've decided that the term "working with" is reserved for people with especially intimate, long-term relationships with the #Teteo who perform a specific community function, or people who have been trained in an indigenous lineage to do "work" with Them. If your relationship with the Teteo is one of self-betterment, that's not enough to claim you are participating in co-creation with Them. We require that everyone in the community has the baseline humility to 1/

#Ometeotl is not a God, it is not even a historical #Aztec #Mexica concept. It is a word invented in the #ColonialEra to try and get the Nahuas to warm up to #monotheism. #Omeyocan, "Place of Duality" exists, but it is home to two named deities, #Omecacihuatl and #Ometecuhtli. Ometeotl might be used in liturgy to refer to creation, but it is not a thing to pray to.
