To make matters worse, Brazil is a country with high rates of religious intolerance on the part of the majority faiths.

---

Even though I've always noticed the blinding aggressions to those whom devote themselves to any religion but Judeo-Christian ones, even more after the election that brought the now ineligible man to our presidency's chair; using the faith of people by allying himself with those whom pretend to be devotees, as those preachers that make a living out of stealing from the believers' donations to the church and don't even try to hide it; even though I had already known all that, feeling it first-hand is something else entirely, isn't it?

If anyone ever reads this, let's make things clear. Before 2015, I would have agreed that politics was truly a matter of opinion. From the parliamentary coup - Yes! Coup!!!! According to the responsible for the coup himself, his words shared during the most recent presidential run,admitting the lack of an illegal act, which is required by our Constitution when impeaching an elected president — onwards, politics is no longer a matter of opinion. It is a matter of character. It is a matter of democracy.

Before I pledged myself to the Goddess as a witch and started to live as a neopagan, I was already a neurodivergent bisexual woman; being a witch only adds to the list of minorities I am a part of. Any voters of the former fascistoid government that was even too dumb to perform a successful coup (the greatest luck of our country is the lack of intellect and competence of the government elected in 2018) probably call any religion that not their own a “work of the Devil”. Starting with Michelle Bolsonaro, our former first-lady, saying during her speech that the Alvorada Palace's (the official residence of the President elected) kitchen was consecrated to Satan; the racist remarks when Lula back when he was a presidential candidate, was showered with popcorns in the House of the People in Salvador, Bahia; remarks about Christ that the Lord himself would have hit them if He'd hear their words… that's lack of character, lack of knowledge of basic societal rules, and maybe some ignorance about the current laws of our country.

Art. 5

All are equal according to the law, no distinction in nature, guaranteeing to the Brazilian people and the foreigners resident in this Country the inviolability of the right of life, freedom, equality, safety and property, in the following terms:

[...]

V—it is assured the right of reaction, proportional to its trigger, along with monetary compensation for material, moral, or one's image damage.

VI — the freedom of conscience and belief is inviolable, being assured the freedom of rituals to all religious cults and assured, by words of the law, the protection of religious' temples and their liturgies.

VII — it is assured by the law the assistance of religious nature in the civil and military entities of collective interments.

Federal Constitution of the Federative Republic of Brazil, October 5th, 1988

Therefore, as you have the right to express your faith and belief in whatever temple you go to, no matter the words used in prayers or sacred texts, so do I and all others. We are entitled to believe in what we want to believe, as do you. Your rights are also the rights of all Brazilian people, even if unfortunately most people don't have their most basic rights respected and attended to. including that of praying and believing in what they want, how they want, being protected by this unpopular book quoted above..

If your religious intolerance was caused by ignorance of the laws created and promulgated by the Brazil who had recently taken down a military regiment and re-established democracy—and let's not forget Ustra died of age —, alright, however not knowing a criminal typification exists doesn't give the individual who has acted in its scope from being penalised by said law. 

Then, now that you have such knowledge, great! You go on with your life and faith and I do the same with mine, and we're cool.

Now that things are crystal clear, in case you are here out of mere curiosity and interest and search for your spirituality, you're more than welcome! The door is and will always be open to those searching for their individual and unachievable (to others) truth. I wish you a good time reading, and the form below redirects the entries in it to my e-mail, in case you have any questions you'd like me to try answering.\ solid and spiritual, esoterical, related to occultism and coming from people who are here for the right reasons.

Making it clear, I won't hesitate to turn form entries in to the Federal Police in case of religious intolerance posted in it—as I said, the lack of previous knowledge of a crime doesn't give the citizens the freedom to commit it.

May it be so, and so it will be. As above as it is below. Blessed be.
