r/Animism

The other day, I took a walk down to a local park. I sat under this beautiful oak tree and I felt such a strong connection and so much "magic." So today I went back and spent the whole day there, just observing nature - the birds, the squirrels, the bees - all the critters. I also combed through the grass and picked up every bit of man-made garbage I could find in the vicinity. I really want to connect with the spirit of the tree. Does anyone have any suggestions for how to do so? Should I leave offerings? What would I leave? What should I do if anyone disturbs my offerings? Are there any other ways I can connect?

It is a public park that's near several schools, so it's nearly impossible to have time there without kids running around, but it is what it is. I just wish I could escape all the noise pollution. It's hard to really focus when there's a big intersection so close. But I live in the middle of suburban sprawl so it's pretty much impossible to escape that.

Also, in image 2, I found those sticks just like that and I had a feeling that it was something important. I hadn't noticed them at all until I'd been there for a while even though they were right next to me. Does this have any meaning to it?

Despite being a void, the primordial void has a lesser form, which is darkness.

The darkness is neutral by itself, but long has it be villainfied, all for what hides under its layers.

Darkness can either comfort you with silence or with fear of what lies in it.

The darkness has comforted me, whenever other forces have forsaken me. It made me contemplate, a lot.

Like a thick blanket surrounding me, keeping me warm.

Yet, people have preferred its younger counterpart, the source.

Simply because it is brighter, warmer, and better at comforting, filled with the many things that will come to be whereas the primordial void is only of possibilities and potential.

The Primordial Void had also accepted forsaken people like me into itself.

I find that much more loving than being absorbed by source.

In the void, I will be amongst the many lost and be a collective with them.

The Primordial Void is like a parent to me, in a sense, that it will always be here.
