A lot of times when an adolescent rebels against their parents, they may start dabbling with pagany stuff like Wicca and witchcraft, tarot cards, and the like. Me? I dabbled in Christianity when I reached my "I'm going to be my own person and make my own decisions" phase. I wasn't raised in a Christian … Continue reading A Strange Rebellion

Even though I've been heathen for most of my life (save a few years when I dabbled in Christianity as a preteen - that's a story that deserves its own writeup), I've always been a fairly solitary practitioner. I'm friends with a lot of heathens and kindreds, and get invites to events and holidays by … Continue reading Don’t Say I Didn’t Try to Warn Them

I'll just be up front and say I'm greedy as all get. The holiday of Thanksgiving just doesn't mean that much to me. Having just one day set aside for gratitude and family isn't enough - for me, it's an everyday event. It has to be. I'm just so in awe of the blessings I … Continue reading One Day to Give Thanks Isn’t Enough

A wonderful, marvelous thing happened today: a second cousin from my father's side found me on Facebook and reached out to me. I've been very estranged from my father's family for years, and I only knew my grandparents and an uncle. One aunt passed before I was born, and the other aunt disowned everyone when … Continue reading My Family Just Got Loki’d

"What, so I haven't been direct enough? You're going to be tweaked out by a comment from a stranger? You really think I wouldn't tell you myself what you can and can't call me? Pah!" A lovely weekend was spent with old friends, newish friends, and new people, and despite the hilarity and feasting, a … Continue reading I Think, Therefore I Am…Neurotic

“Not everyone dies in a battle. Someone has to survive to care for the dead.” “We’ve fucked with him long enough. He’s yours, and he’s been waiting for you. Go to him.” “FINALLY! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW LONG I’VE WAITED?! ANY CLUE HOW HARD I’VE WORKED? GAAHHHHH! . . . Oh, and Hi.” … Continue reading Group Chat

So this blog is only a few weeks old, but I've already unloaded a lot here, most of it pretty heavy stuff. So, I'll open up the floor, as it were, to answer questions that may have tickled your mind when reading. There's some weird stuff here, and I'm very much aware of how crazy … Continue reading AMA

My personal life, as rich as it is with friends and loved ones, is best described as "terminally single." I used to wonder why I couldn't get a date to save my life, but it doesn't bother me. I'm not lacking companionship or love, and I'm independent to a fault. I joke that if I … Continue reading The Ring(s) to Bind Them

For someone who was utterly oblivious to Loki's claim on me, I sure have collected a lot of tattoos with him in mind over the years. As I've written before, my very first tattoo, a design I'd wanted since I was 6 years old, is what I've always called my Loki-fox. And the other foxes … Continue reading Tricky Ink

In case I haven't mentioned it enough, I'm an Army brat. What I haven't told you yet is that I myself was in the Army, albeit briefly. I was recommended for medical discharge the last week of BCT thanks to a startling number of fractured and shattered bones. It took me a long time to … Continue reading The Best Laid Plans
