Is there anything to be concerned or avoid about close relations with the therian/soulbonding community?
I’m mainly asking because I’m becoming more and more involved with a tabletop roleplay group (exclusively of women with me being the only Jew) who sincerely holds this as dogma outside of the gameplay itself in their everyday lives.
I’m wondering where the line is drawn between respecting the beliefs of others and potentially becoming associated with what technically counts as occultism. They believe/practice in witchcraft and necromancy and dark evocation as well.
They’ve been generally respectful of my Judaism but they ask questions that lead me to believe they have some prejudice towards Abrahamic religion in general, nothing outright hateful but the stuff you might anticipate from Wicca.
Like when I was talking with one of the women about something in Judaism she nodded sagely and then started talking about how “Jews used to recognized the Horned One and the Moon Goddess but they abandoned their ancestors’ traditions in the name of patriarchy”
Which is… something I can see where they got that idea from but at the same time it seems like the kind of historical revisionist concept that would get someone mocked in a Jewish community if not be seen as a betrayal of Jewishness itself.
She was receptive when I discussed the complexities but she didn’t actually change her mind.
Is this any different from associating with Christians/Muslims/atheists?
