Did you publish the video you were working on yet? Did I miss it? 👀

Well I just noticed there's like two different Christian webrings going around on neocities so hypothetically it would be okay for me to make maybe a webring for nature-based faiths? Nature-based faiths have a very easy collective word for them in Finnish (luonnonusko) but I'm not sure what would sound catchy in English though! (And no I don't think "earth religion" or "nature worship" are good terms)

how about nature faith or earth faith? kinda similar but still sound better imo, brainstorming. or if you create a graphic for it, you could call it anything and then put a broader definition in the graphic.

Yeah tricky one, because so many English terms carry some kind of historical baggage. I like the word Animism, but it might not be broad enough? I feel like Paganism can sometimes carry a pejorative undertone. So, I think Physiolatry or Naturism might be some of the better English terms for nature worship. Naturism is catchy I think :)

It is just a gap in the English language. When I read serious scholarship about nature-based religions, they'll admit we don't have an accurate term in the settled lexicon. Most terms like 'pagans' still imply being more focused on deities and legends than on nature, and its a struggle for the average person to understand religious practice that's not totally focused on deity worship. TBH you really can make your own

I see! Very interesting information, thanks for telling me :) I remember earler we discussed with some people on Tumblr about this surprising deity-focus you can see around

Very cool. I really wanted to do pages like this for my site, but I don't know how to read music, so I'm not confident I would do the visual representation part correctly.

My tip is to use the program called MuseScore 3. You can write notes on a sheet there and click play, and the program will play it for you so you can hear what it would sound like.

The online runosong archive went down on Saturday. (Won't connect and gives an error with nginx). I called the Finnish Literature Association and they said EVERYONE from their IT and administration is on vacation until August. As an IT professional myself, I have to roll my eyes at this incompetence. Regardless, it looks like I will have vastly limited abilities to edit for the next three weeks (¬､¬)

time to edit what can be edited i guess... hate it when something you can't control slows down your projects
