The term fangirl can be used to describe a female member of a fandom community (as opposed to the masculine "fanboy"). Fangirls tend to be more devoted to emotional and romantic aspects of their fandom, especially shipping. However, it is most often used in a derogatory sense to describe a girl's obsession with something, most commonly a male teen idol or an aspect of Japanese pop culture. Fangirl behaviour is believed to vary in intensity. On one end of the scale are those that, while harbouring a crush on a particular actor o ...

Main article Idolatry in Judaism Judaism strongly prohibits any form of idolatry, and holds that idolatry is not limited to the worship of an idol itself, but also worship involving any artistic representations of God. Judaism holds that any beliefs or practices which significantly interferes with a Jew's relationship with God may, at some point, be deemed idolatry. The proper Jewish definition of idolatry is to worship a power (such as the Sun, moon) or a thing (water, sheep, etc) instead of attributing the power to the One Go ...

Adherents of polytheism and animism reject the charge of idolatry as an inaccurate description of their religious beliefs and practices. Polytheists generally do not believe that their statues (or other physical objects) are gods; rather, they are symbols of immaterial gods. Rather, they maintain that physical idols are simply the representational form of a divine deity — the act of "worship" is not for the obje ...

Idol, Idolotry (from Greek eidolon image, idol)

The use of images of divinities, which pertains to exotericism, as do visible symbols, ceremonies, and rituals in general. Attitudes vary among religions: Judaism, Islam, and Protestant Christianity absolutely forbid it; Orthodox Christianity permits icons, such as pictures of saints; Roman Catholicism, Hinduism, and Buddhism permit it altogether.

Varying degrees of ignorance or enlightenment may regard an idol as in itself a species of imbodied divinity, as transmitting the influence of a divinity or, more spiritually, as a reminder of a divinity. In a real sense, idolatry is the attaching of undue importance to the form rather than to the spirit, and often becomes degraded into worshiping the images made in our imagination and imbodied in work of the hands.

"Esoteric history teaches that idols and their worship dies out with the Fourth Race, until the survivors of the hybrid races of the latter (Chinamen, African Negroes, etc.) gradually brought the worship back. The Vedas countenance no idols; all the modern Hindu writings do" (SD 2:723).

Dream Interpretation Idols

Dreams involving idols usually have an allusion to personal pleasures and secret discoveries. If you dream of your friends worshipping idols, this foretells much trouble for them and a break in your relationship. If you are the one who is worshipping an idol, it is a sign that your efforts wouldn't produce much progress in business or work. Breaking an idol in the dream means that you will be able to take control of the situation.

• To see others worshiping idols, great differences will rise up between you and warm friends.
• To dream that you are denouncing idolatry, great distinction is in store for you through your understanding of the natural inclinations of the human mind.
