I've only ever had 2 recurring dreams in my life. The first one was the pleasant one, the other was a nightmare. The good one was one I'd had as a child, and again as a young adult: both times, it was exactly the same. I'd be at my grandparents' house, my father's parents, but … Continue reading Hail the Ancestors!

There's no actual point to this bit of writing. Yesterday was just such a bizarre, stupid day that it merits its own little corner of the internet. I had a fun(-ish?) dream the other night involving the zombie apocalypse. Loki was in it, of course, but he wasn't the cause of the chaos, for once. … Continue reading Welcome to the Realm of the Weird

A coworker recently got me addicted to Wish, and I was startled to stumble across Catholic vestments for sale there. They just popped into my feed one afternoon when I was scrolling idly through, and my brain did a few somersaults trying to compute why they were being offered. There may or may not have … Continue reading Yuletide Reflections and a Statement of Intention

It's been mentioned once or twice that other Lokeans tend to get a lot of side eye in the community for some reason or another. Whether it's because they use their affinity for Loki to excuse bad behavior, or they're drawn into heathenry because of Marvel's movies gifting us with Hiddles!Loki, or whatever, we tend … Continue reading I’m the Actual Worst

There's been a lot of debate lately about Loki, moreso than usual, it seems. Different organizations are in contention about whether or not to embrace Himself as they do the rest of the Aesir and Vanir, or to continue holding him at arm's length. I've noticed a few discussions delve into an interpretation of mythology … Continue reading Music and Mayhem

Fair warning, this post could be a bit of a brain dump. A lot of things have inspired it, but as I've thought about it over the last few days, different aspects of this topic kept weaving their way in, so I honestly don't know what to expect even as I write. And that's the … Continue reading Tricksters and Truth

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
