vaxjediThis is a bit of a disjointed rant...
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
eleri posted about her idea for the Temple of the Children of Mercury in her journal. And she got a few responses (including from me). And a few from people on a community she posted it on.
But then time scrolls the post past the first screen of people's friends lists and is forgotton.
So... my question is "why?" I've talked to several people who read it and didn't post, but said it was a good idea, or that it resonated with them, etc. But that's it.
It's kinda frustrating to me, as it is something that I agree with and want and desire. When I still had a grasp of my ministerial call, it was to THAT sort of thing I was drawn. (I'm very much of the 'yes, sex is fun and powerful, let me show you...' school of mystic thought)
Now, I've been focused on my own issues in this area. Admittedly, my pantheon (the Jade Mother, et. al.), Sinnish and my RPG background (I need a name for it) are all roundabout ways to evoke more of the energy that I used to get in such great quantities and great qualities in sex. And I'm using them as creative and spritual outlets.
I think Eleri's idea is a good one. But if it just stays an idea, it's a loss. There will probably never a cult or Temple of the Children of Mercury or whatever. But if there it has no effect, then it's really a loss for everyone involved or potentially involved.
I'm probably just tired and pissy. Maybe I am like a movie critic, who can dissect and point out flaws, but cannot create. But I'd like something to happen. I am not sure how to make it happen myself, though.
End of Rant.

Blade's Law of Spiritual Reality
If a spirtual epiphany has a trivial effect on your life, it is not real.
