Recording and Understanding Spiritual Journeys

Last updated on: October 4, 2021 at 1:07 pm   By Aine Llewellyn

A Personal Reflection for Pride Month

Last updated on: June 7, 2021 at 4:37 am   By Aine Llewellyn

Being out, being true, pursuing the true self…fighting for it, for recognition, for respect…for dignity, just a slice of dignity. A sliver. I wonder if I can do it. Or if I’ll just decide it’s too much of a pain. Read more

My Spiritual Journeying Method

Last updated on: May 9, 2021 at 1:54 pm   By Aine Llewellyn

A friend recently asked about how I go about spiritually journeying - how I visit the otherworlds and visit the Gods and spirits there. Going forth to the spirit's worlds is an important part of my practice, and it can allow us a unique connection to the Others. Read more

Beltane in the Otherfaith

Last updated on: April 25, 2021 at 2:22 pm   By Aine Llewellyn

Among some of the spirits I work with the year is divided into two: winter and summer. Bustling and riotous, endlessly creative, and potent, the Otherfaith spirits of summer are connected to flowers, rabbits, wind and fire, and bloodshed. Read more

No, I Don’t Do Ancestor Work

Last updated on: April 4, 2021 at 8:42 am   By Aine Llewellyn

It seems to be the one practice where you are expected to keep knocking at the door when nobody is showing up. Where people who don't do it are expected to list out all our reasons why not for the sake of conversation but for the sake of being convinced into the practice. Read more

Definitions, Labels, and Utility

Last updated on: March 14, 2021 at 4:44 pm   By Aine Llewellyn

We seem to expect labels to be perfectly tailored clothes made in our exact preferred style. By their very nature they are not so well-suited. They are better compared to jeans that fit well-enough to wear. Not perfect. Not great. But you can wear them and they work. Read more

Otherfaith Spirits: Aster Aira

Last updated on: February 28, 2021 at 11:39 am   By Aine Llewellyn

Aster is the spark of connection and refers to himself as the ‘mycelium of social interaction’. He can also be associated with a sort of non-alcoholic social lubricant, with the little lies we tell and masks we wear to make society easier to navigate. Read more

An Imbolc Reflection

Last updated on: January 30, 2021 at 4:43 pm   By Aine Llewellyn
