Personal Agreements

Last updated on: September 9, 2013 at 12:28 pm By Aine Llewellyn

I shall not use my faith as an excuse to fetishize violence. I shall not victimize the recent dead further by claiming their deaths were deserved. I shall not claim the suffering of human beings is punishment for failing to follow the proper gods. I shall not imply that there are ‘true’ gods. Read more

The Divine Victim

Last updated on: February 7, 2014 at 1:53 pm By Aine Llewellyn

[No, not the one you’re thinking of – the one that gets sacrificed, is associated with crops, etc. etc. I’m not talking about that one.] Please be aware that the follow post is going to deal with likely very triggering topics for some readers. There’s been a lot of discussion of sexuality, sexualization, and fetishization (especially of youth) lately. The conversation uncomfortable for a variety of reasons, one is which my incredibly hardline approach to these issues. I think rapists... Read more

The Thrilling End of August

Last updated on: August 31, 2013 at 2:18 am By Aine Llewellyn

Stress definitely does a number on the mind and body. To say my religious life has suffered lately would be a massive understatement. Oh, I’ve gotten writing done, and praying, and I’m still chugging along, but I feel exhausted. I get writing done but it’s all circles and spirals and messes. My writing buds on the vine but it doesn’t blossom. The ideas crowd each other out and then none of them have time to come to fruition due to... Read more

More on Ethics in the Otherfaith

Last updated on: February 7, 2014 at 1:53 pm By Aine Llewellyn

In the Otherfaith we seek to blend human ethics and values with faery ones, which can place us in interesting situations when it comes to the rest of Western/USian society. Read more

on Mythic Writing

Last updated on: August 19, 2013 at 5:28 pm By Aine Llewellyn

The ‘seed’ of a myth comes from a few places: 1. Journeying through trance to the otherworld and conversing with spirits directly to learn stories; 2. Interacting with a specific spirit in the otherworld and in the physical world, through omens, divination, and spirit activity; 3. Dreams; 4. Recurring signs and symbols and divination. Read more

I put together a devotional packet for a newcomer to the Otherfaith today. It was a very rewarding project, and I look forward to preforming similar services as the Otherfaith grows. Immediately after, I started working on a new post for the Otherfaith blog – another mythic story – and all in all I’m feeling pretty great about that. Productive days are awesome. Sunday is, as always, cleaning day. That means scrubbing the shrine down, washing all the shrine dishes,... Read more

Brief Update

Last updated on: August 10, 2013 at 3:28 pm By Aine Llewellyn

I’ve been home for three days and have been constantly busy. Between job hunting I’ve been writing and working on material for the Otherfaith and Patheos. And all of it, of course, is slipping through my fingers or just not coming out like I want it to. I don’t even know how many words I’ve thrown out these past few days. I am writing, but I’m not quite sure when I’ll have a full post up next. I’m doing some... Read more

We are where we are and who we are thanks to someone, more likely many someones. the Dierne always asks us to evaluate our relationships and whether they are healthy or not. This is another part of gratitude – knowing where it is due. Read more
