Feeling a little odd tonight. I'm still dealing with the depression and anxiety kicking up something fierce, but this time around, I'm making the concerted effort not to shut myself off from the God Squad. Last time I was in the abyss, I realized that just as I withdraw from people around me, I close … Continue reading Fuck Off, Brain Beast
Into the Looking Glass
I didn't expect to have a bit of Loki-inspired writing so soon after posting something about breaking out of my comfort zone to do so, but here we are. I've been really, really struggling lately with my PTSD and anxiety, so much so that I had a series of intense, crippling panic attacks this past … Continue reading Into the Looking Glass
Break Out the Whisky: I’m Going to Write Something Poetic (But Not in This Post)
There's a distinct downside to having grown up outside of the heathen community at large: it wasn't until I was a young adult starting to lurk around the edges that I knew of any of the racist undertones and supporters that plague said community. As mentioned time and time again here, I was privileged to … Continue reading Break Out the Whisky: I’m Going to Write Something Poetic (But Not in This Post)
In Memory of Narvi and Vali
The picture above is by one of my favorite heathen artists. You can see all of her delightfully cheeky paintings on Deviant Art under Hellanim, and if you're not familiar with her collection of work, I insist you check it out. This is a bittersweet image in particular, because it's a glimpse of a happy … Continue reading In Memory of Narvi and Vali
Adventures in Veiling and Heathen Nunsense
Here we go again, another exercise in redundancy in which I ramble on about the same old nonsense I've been yammering about for months. Huzzah! I'm currently two weeks into veiling, and it's going to continue because I'm in love. It sounds counterintuitive, but it's absolutely freeing. I feel so calm and chill; it's not … Continue reading Adventures in Veiling and Heathen Nunsense
Veiling for Fun and Profit!
Okay, maybe not profit, and not necessarily for fun, but I've never been good at titles. So long time readers might remember my little conundrum at the start of the year about veiling. For those who recall, the only thing I took away from my brief teenage foray into Christianity was the nun thing. The … Continue reading Veiling for Fun and Profit!
What I Think About at 3AM
So. This may or may not be an "unpopular opinion" kind of post, but it's been winding around my brain as a strange thread spun off from discussions online about religion. There have been some interesting conversations about how to distinguish oneself as an actual representative of heathenry without being mistaken for a Nazi fanboy, … Continue reading What I Think About at 3AM
Sweets for the Dead
While I'm not Rokkatru, I do have a bit of a soft spot for Loki's kids. When I was younger, I felt bad for his older three being cast out and for his younger two for the cruel role they were forced to take on in their father's punishment. As an adult with the capacity … Continue reading Sweets for the Dead
Wound. Up.
So I'm back online, but I've been sick with my bi-annual sinus infection, because there's no better way to celebrate seasonal changes than with a feverish morph into a mucus-creature. Gross. As such, I was eagerly anticipating the end of the work day so I could curl up in bed and sleep the heavily-medicated sleep … Continue reading Wound. Up.
Hi(atus)
Just a quick check in to letchy'all know I'm still alive and bouncing around all oblivious like. Radio silence isn't for lack of material, but rather lack of internet connection since my ISP decided to unexpectedly drop support of the connection I had in order to force everyone into upgrading to fiber, so I'm in … Continue reading Hi(atus)
