I noticed all the content I consume on Buddhism is made by men.

Do you know of any books/podcasts/videos/etc. made by women? Any you would recommend?

I think it would help me have a more balanced view and support woman teachers in this very male-dominated society.

EDIT: sorry if the word « creator » is not appropriate. I’m ESL so I don’t know all the connotation as well as you.

I find buddhist practices and values to be incredibly helpful when I integrate them into my rituals.

However I’ve done a lot of the heavy lifting of researching the religion and trying to come up with ideas on how to apply them as a witch.

Are there any resources you would recommend where I could get more ideas on how to do so?

Alternatively, do you have any experience doing it yourself?

EDIT: just to clarify I’m not specifically looking for teachings on Buddhism, as I think I already consumed a lot of content on that, but more of how to integrate it in witchy practices. Resources on that or experience on how you did that.

I am a long time solitary practitioner and only very recently started getting more involved in the community. Therefore I was never introduced to much of the terminology currently in use.

2 terms that are a bit confusing to me are shadow work and chaos magick.

The reason for that is that I don’t understand how anything a SASS witch does would not be considered both.

Maybe you can help me better understand. I am starting to be more active in the community and it’s always helpful when we use the same terminology.

My reasoning (that might need to be corrected) is as follows.

All spells/rituals we do is placebo on ourselves and doesn’t actually directly affect others. Therefore I would consider anything a SASS witch does as shadow work.

Also the whole point in being a SASS witch is that we don’t believe in dogmatic principles but we rather search for what works for us, be it a well researched deity or any other fictional characters. We reject dogmatic truths and we take bits and pieces from such dogmas and keep what work for us. That’s, to my understanding, what chaos magick is.

Would anyone mind helping me to understand what I got wrong in my definition of what these terms mean?

Is there such a thing as a SASS ritual that is not shadow work?

Is there such a thing as a SASS practice that is not chaos magick?
