Basics: Prayer (I)

Last updated on: June 30, 2013 at 4:08 am By Aine Llewellyn

For this series, we will be focusing on the path of laity and what it means to be a lay-person in the Otherfaith. This is the most accessible path and the one we should all start from when beginning to interact with the gods and spirits of this faith. The three most important parts of the Otherfaith are establishing right relationship, prayer, and maintaining a shrine. When we begin our work, we start with the first two (right relationship and prayer) and only... Read more

51 Adorations

Last updated on: June 29, 2013 at 1:16 am By Aine Llewellyn

I’ll be moving into discussing prayer and its importance in the Otherfaith. It is one of the three main points of practice that we establish as we begin devotional relationship with the Four Gods and their related spirits. We do have structure to our prayer, involving what prayers are said and at what time. There is flexibility, but having the structure brings us together in solidarity even if we are separated by distance. In the Otherfaith, we say adorations to... Read more

Briefly: in Texas

Last updated on: June 26, 2013 at 3:43 pm By Aine Llewellyn

Last night, with friends, I watched the filibuster in Texas. Watching and listening, seeing the comments and hearing the screams – focus was brought to a lot of my life. In a way that shouldn’t have surprised me, the events of last night clarified to me part of the mythos I’ve been working on for my gods. I wrote up a piece of devotional poetry last night, which can be read here. I talked a lot about apathy last night... Read more

Basics: Contemplation

Last updated on: June 25, 2013 at 7:38 am By Aine Llewellyn

While the Otherfaith is definitely a faith of action, an incredibly important part of our practice is contemplative. Only through reflection and contemplation can we decide if we are behaving appropriately, living in a way that honors the gods, or if we need to change. Read more

Four Gods: the Dierne

Last updated on: June 19, 2013 at 6:36 am By Aine Llewellyn

Though I call the Clarene my holy mother, and I am building a possession practice with the Laetha, the Dierne is the god I will laugh at and harass and make especially lewd jokes about. It helps that the Dierne is a sort of patron to lewd jokes, though. Read more

Four Gods: the Laetha

Last updated on: June 18, 2013 at 6:48 am By Aine Llewellyn

the Laetha, also commonly called the Firebird, was the first god of the Four that I encountered. The first things I noticed were that his song was awe-inspiring and seemed to split my mind in half. And what I noticed immediately after was a bone deep knowledge that this god was dangerous. Read more

Last updated on: June 15, 2013 at 11:12 am By Aine Llewellyn

I'm more than happy to discuss my techniques for journeying, discernment, verification, and exploration when it comes to unnamed or new spirits and the gods I speak of, but I won't do so when the starting point is one of a right/wrong dichotomy. There is room in the world for many religions and revelations. Read more

Four Gods: the Ophelia

Last updated on: June 14, 2013 at 7:41 am By Aine Llewellyn

the Ophelia is a god of the waters, the soul of a sacred river in the otherworld and the river itself. In her mythos, the Clarene brings her to the Westernlands and splits her body open, releasing all the waters contained in the Ophelia and feeding the new land. Read more

Four Gods: the Clarene

Last updated on: June 11, 2013 at 12:18 pm By Aine Llewellyn

Before we begin covering how to worship the Four Gods, I want to go in-depth into each of these ‘new deities’ (you want to know who you’re talking to, after all!). Each of the Four will receive their own post, and as before, questions are very welcome. These posts will cover their role in the Westernlands and our world, their relationships with the other gods, and links to other relevant posts. the Clarene the Clarene is the ‘highest and foremost...
