For context: I’m a 4th generation german-american. My mom‘s mother is half mexican, half native american. My mom’s father is bavarian german. My dad is full japanese…But I really did grow up connected to my german culture and side as much as I could living in the states.

Recently, I met another bavarian german who was raised over there, and still lives in germany. He practices traditional bavarian alpenbrauchtum. I started to get into the same practice a couple of months ago, but ONLY after I asked a few bavarian elders who engaged in the same tradition, if it was okay for me to do so. They all knew of my ethnic background.

However, this guy has told me I don’t have enough german blood or roots to the land in bavaria to engage in this practice. He said I’m "too mixed" and that the german spirits won’t recognize me? Thus, he also stated this practice is closed to me. But I’m so lost and conflicted because I was always told otherwise :(

EDIT: Not sure why I got downvoted but beyond that, I want to clarify that this post isn’t satire. The guy was being literal and serious about everything he said, and I’m being serious about my confusion. It’s hard being multi-ethnic and multi-racial when you encounter experiences like this where you aren’t "enough" of something to be accepted by your own community.

I hope this is the right flair…

I really apologize if I sound dumb here. I’m a beginner within traditional hellenistic astrology and very confused…

Mars within modern day science is cold and dry. Venus is the hottest planet… but reading Demetra George‘s book "Ancient astrology in theory and practice vol 1" — she states that Mars is hot and dry. I’m confused on how I’m supposed to interpret Mars traditionally in terms of temperature?

I don’t really see any traditional astrologers go over this unless I’m looking in the wrong places.

i’m really embarrassed by this post but i really need advice. i’m a minor, and from an at-home test i seem to have BV. based on my research i’ll have to insert some type of capsules to get rid of it, but i always have a vasovagal episode when inserting anything in there… doesn’t even need to be halfway.

i’ve heard there’s creams but wouldn’t i still have to insert it into my hole? i can’t talk to my mom or a gyno about this. my mom brushes off my health down there and won’t take me to a gyno.

are there any at-home remedies for curing BV? i know most research states it can’t be "flushed" but some posts on here have suggested they’ve fully gotten rid of it that way. i just don’t know which remedies to even try first

hello! so i’m part german (very mixed), and i’m wanting to look into german magic. specifically german knot magic as of now, but i can’t find any books on the associations of each color within this tradition. if any germanic witches or practitioners know some off the top of their head, please share :)
