Religion and Spirituality lenses (and more)

Time for me to bless some great lenses with more than a squidangel blessing, but with a link as well. These are in my favorite niche: religion and spirituality. It’s quite a collection – I guess there are many great lenses made about this topic.

Let’s start with the lens that started this post in a sense. Mystic Mama has been making a few great spiritual lenses, starting with Metaphysical Mystic Mama, which got so many votes that it’s ranking no. 1 in religion and spirituality right now. I’m afraid it will soon plummet unless we give it some link love, so here goes.

Staying for now in the New Age realm, Chicandsavvy asks and answers the question: what’s an energy vortex? J_mac explains the basics of Western astrology signs, going into more detail than you usually see on this subject. But perhaps you want to learn about Lucid Dreaming, or minor pagan holidays? I love this lens about Edgar Cayce, a most inspiring medium.

Moving slightly into the area of interfaith initiatives – check out these lenses about the faces of death, praying for peace, blessings, or faith over religion…

Getting into traditional religion a bit more – this lens about the Biblical Book of Job goes into one of the most important topics of that challenging book: how to deal with adversity – in our friends. It’s part of a whole series about that Bible book, and I’m very curious what else ShireenJ will take out of it.

Only one Buddhist lens made the cut today: about Kuan Yin, the male/female goddess of Buddhism.

I’ll end this post with some of my own low ranking spiritual lenses – they can use the promotion

About yoga and the history of yoga philosophy. One of my favorite current day spiritual teachers: Karen Armstrong. Another important spiritual teacher of today: Ken Wilber. Both are interested in interfaith dialog. Like me – as I share on my spiritual blog All Considering, following the example of first generation theosophists like H.P. Blavatsky and W.Q. Judge.
