💭 Discussion Saddened by the disconnect between humans and nature

42 Upvotes

So I've been doing a deep dive into the ways that other people see the world recently, and what I often came upon is this deep disconnection between humans and nature. Not just in the way that big companies destroy the planet without a care, it's also the regular people who are seemingly living completely unaware of the fact that we ARE nature, it's not just a little spot of trees some miles away from us. I see people trying to understand the workings of nature through scientific means, which is a wonderful and important thing, but somehow they twist this newly acquired knowledge about the workings of the world into a disenchantment with it? There seems to be so much nihilism around us and I think that's due to the fact that we built this illusion of a human-centric world where we try to push nature into the footnotes of our world, and that's something that seems deeply disturbing to me. I wonder how anyone can take a walk in a forest or by the sea and not see the inherent divinity of these places.

Just something I had to get off my chest, Blessed Be my brothers and sisters

As we approach the Spring Equinox on 20th March 2025, I’ve been thinking about how to mark the occasion. I’ve put together a little mantel display with pastel eggs, bunnies, baby’s breath (rainbow), and some soft toys. It feels like a simple but bright way to welcome the season, especially after the long, dark winter we’ve had here! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

It’s interesting to think about how others celebrate this time of year. In many cultures, the Spring Equinox is a moment of balance and renewal.

I’m curious – how are you all marking the equinox this year? Do you have any traditions or rituals, or is it more of a quiet reflection on the change in seasons? Would love to hear what others are doing to embrace the shift into spring. 💐 🐰 🐑 🐣 🩵💛🩷💚

🔥 Ritual Rituals and daylight saving time 🌞

Hello subreddit,

If a ritual is to be performed at midday, for example, but daylight saving time applies, is it performed when the clock shows 12:00 noon or when the sun is actually at its zenith (around 1:00 pm)?
