Re: Forbidden Faith
I'd hide it away from everyone. A bit reminds me of Judaism during the Roman Empire. I already hide it more or less so I won't have any trouble hiding it in the future."Fair means that everybody gets what they need. And the only way to get that is to make it happen yourself."
Since I adore cats, I might write something strange or unusual in my comment.Cats are awesome!!! ^_^

Re: Forbidden Faith
This is a VERY hard question,mainly because this has happened in the past to different groups. Do you deny your belief and only speak of it when in the company of others like minded.
One must remember that people have died for their beliefs and Governments have killed because of them..resent in China this has happened.MAGIC is MAGIC,black OR white or even blood RED
all i ever wanted was a normal life and love.
NO TERF EVER WE belong Too.
don't stop the tears.let them flood your soul.

Re: Forbidden Faith
Probably treat it like I do being part of the BDSM scene--don't talk about to people who aren't like minded or I think have no reason to know. It's no one's business what I do in my free time.

Like a star shining in the black eternity of space.
Yoda: Dark Rendezvous
"But those men who know anything at all about the Light also know that there is a fierceness to its power, like the bare sword of the law, or the white burning of the sun." Suddenly his voice sounded to Will very strong, and very Welsh. "At the very heart, that is. Other things, like humanity, and mercy, and charity, that most good men hold more precious than all else, they do not come first for the Light. Oh, sometimes they are there; often, indeed. But in the very long run the concern of you people is with the absolute good, ahead of all else..."
John Rowlands, The Grey King by Susan Cooper
"You come from the Lord Adam and the Lady Eve", said Aslan. "And that is both honour enough to erect the head of the poorest beggar, and shame enough to bow the shoulders of the greatest emperor on earth; be content."

Re: Forbidden Faith
From my experience of already having people try to kill me over my religious choices-carry on as I already do. Telling society to go to hell in a glass car, and just not talk about it as much as I normally wouldAlways taking art commissions, especially for fantasy and pagan related artwork

Re: Forbidden Faith
Depends on how they did it. Jail time for having a certain religion? Just keep going as I do now, secretive... also banning my religion is hard. I don't even know what my religion is.
For example killing everone not of a certain religion, I'd go down kicking and screaming.You remind me of the babe
What babe?
The babe with the power
What power?
The Power of voodoo
Who do?
You do!
Do what?

Re: Forbidden Faith
Liber AL, 2:9 - "Remember all ye that existence is pure joy; that all the sorrows are but as shadows; they pass and are done; but there is that which remains."
I have to draw inspiration from Karl Germer, who attained Knowledge and Conversation with his Holy Guardian Angel from a Nazi concentration camp. Being shot at or locked up is no excuse to stop practicing the Will you were put on Earth to perform! Ritual works just as well in a prison as it does anywhere else.
