  • Spirits in the Hospital

    For over two years, I have been working in dementia care, wrestling with madness in a very real form. I have sat with the elderly as their spirits left this world, bound for whatever afterlife their Gods have in store for them. In this place I grappled with spirits, both of passed-on humans and of

  • Projects Update

    It’s been an insane year, hasn’t it? I’ve been using the time to get ahead on some projects that needed doing, but I do have to admit that with my mental health, it is sometimes a battle. A lot of basic mental health and self care routines I had before Covid are tied to going

  • Note: it’s been a hell of a day. But yes she is lucky. No broken bones. She will most likely be okay. I am mad as hell at the bastard who hit her and sped off. —- O Artemis of the Wilds, Huntress of the Woods I pray to You today in my hour of

  • Social Media Fasting

    I’m writing after almost a week of a light social media fast/vacation that I started in order to focus more on the spiritual aspect of this holiday season. I started on the 17th or 18th, and I intend to go til after the new year (if I can make it). If you’re wondering, I got

Now I have repeatedly been put into situations that have basically

  • Pagans and Money

    I was going to include these in my next Round-Up of Interesting Links, but I decided that TP Ward’s posts on the theme of Pagans and money deserves its own entire intro. It deserves to be considered on its own. Pagans have an interesting, complicated relationship with money. I’ve seen Pagans drop hundreds of dollars

  • Daily Devotions

    If I could name a single habit/routine that I have put effort into changing this year that has had the most positive effect on my life and my mental health, it hasn’t been eating better or losing weight. Those are actually very high on the list, and in fact are somewhat supported by the habit

  • Quick Update

    So, Life Be Crazy. Yes, I continue to live and breath. I had to move. The homesteading went bust. I’m planning on writing a much longer post about why I failed at this attempt, and what people who want to homestead themselves can learn from my failure. The gist is that we bit off more
