This past year has been a hard one And many ties to my past were severed The scars my mother gave me were not enough, it seems I suffered more wounds at my father’s hands A sickness grew in his mind, so black and dark that my only option was to run. My life plays…

So, it’s been exactly one month since I posted, not counting this morning’s poem for Odin. I’m sorry I fell off the face of the earth for a while. My laptop finally succumbed to its concrete-inflicted wounds and died the True Death – its not coming back. So I had nothing to write on –…

Okay everyone, I feel like I have to give you guys a bit of a warning. I usually try really hard to post new content at least three times a week. Well that’s most likely not going to happen for the rest of this month. I’m super low on gas and I still have not…

Of all the Gods I’ve tried to re-connect with, I feel like I am getting the cold shoulder from Athena. The feeling I get trying to reconnect with Her is much like the one I got trying to rebuild my relationship with my now-ex. I tried for years to make my dead relationship with him…

So, I have not posted for the GMC as much as I had hoped this month. Rest assured that I have not forgotten, I am continuing to research and work on my thoughts, and hopefully by the end of the month come up with a ritual or two as well. I have been working on…

I’m going to start practicing rituals again, even if I don’t necessarily believe. I am comforted by the rituals and the symbolism. I recently traded bedrooms with my brother (we live together), because he may need surgery eventually, and if that happens I don’t want him to have to go up and down stairs every…

I am not going to take down this blog. But I am still considering whether to leave it up, as is, but basically abandon it. The other option is to transform it into something completely new. My whole life has been transformed, and going forward it will be impossible to ignore that fact. I’m not…
