If I only had one day left to live, I would spend it relaxing with my family. I would spend some of my savings to buy a maid service to come in and clean my house so I would have a clean, dust- and mold-free place to spend my last day. I would do something […]

Nothing to Say
I have no desire to step up on a soap box today. There’s the whole “We Want to Celebrate Colonization of the Americas” day thing, but I don’t really feel like digging into it. I can’t think of anything that is bothering me more than the ulcer that currently feels like it has actually poked a […]
Mabon Reflections
Today is Mabon, the celebration of the fall equinox in the Northern Hemisphere. The world sits at the balance between the summer half of the year and the winter. Now the days begin to grow shorter, the nights longer. Now we reap the fruits of the harvest, the corn and the wheat, the apples […]
Dancing Through Life
The Great and Wonderful Aunt Anne came through last week. It was wonderful to get to visit with her, although we did not get to ride together after all. (Turns out, she didn’t bring her bikes on this trip!) We cooked together, their dog Chucho and A’Kos played together…or at least Chucho tolerated A’Kos trying […]
Those Daily Devotions
Yesterday my teachers asked me how my daily devotions and my relationship with Loki were going. I never know how to answer open-ended questions like that on the spot, but they do make me think. I didn’t have anything resembling a daily devotional practice until last year, when I received my first degree and finally […]
Borderline
Everything medical in our lives (except for Kender!) seems to be borderline. The boundary line (ohai Loki!) between “clinical” and “not a problem” is not always a happy place to live. Being on the boundary line means that medical treatment almost always can help, but doctors won’t diagnose or treat anything until it crosses that […]
My Dailies List
In lieu of the wonderful post I thought I was going to make while I was in the shower, but promptly forgot the subject of once I had dressed, I present to you my daily to-do list. This list has the benefit of having grown organically over the past month or so based off things […]
The Viking Invasion of the Buffet Line
It started out simply enough. Closing ritual for ConVocation was over, Sarenth had planned to do a rune reading for me, all our other friends started making plans to eat lunch out and invited us along. It sounded great, and we figured we’d just do the runecasting in the restaurant after eating and getting more […]
Release
Last fall, I participated in a ritual that led me to renounce my ties to the past. My reason was that they were holding me back, binding me, keeping me from evolving and moving forward. My thought at the time was about my ties to Texas. I felt I needed to let go of those […]
A Day in the Life
From Gods’ Mouths 2.0: We want to hear about what a day in your spiritual, magical, or devotional practice looks like. My daily practices are always in flux, as I think they are for most of us. As we grow and learn, we drop practices that no longer serve us, and pick up new ones […]
