modern heroes

Last updated on: May 14, 2013 at 9:50 pm By Aine Llewellyn

I think it is excellent that more people are realizing the importance modern heroes have in our lives. I look forward to hearing more nuanced discussions on the 'realness' of fictional characters and their roles in religious practices. Read more

net practice: e-shrines

Last updated on: May 6, 2013 at 6:43 am By Aine Llewellyn

E-shrines are websites, blogs, or accounts on social media sites that act as a way to give honor to a god. The most common form of this (that I've seen) is posting of pictures and poetry for the gods or spirits the shrine is for. Some shrines also focus on ideas for devotional practices. Read more

briefly: on diviners

Last updated on: May 19, 2013 at 10:39 pm By Aine Llewellyn

I'm not some amazing, fantastic Tarot reader. I've been told I have 'the gift'/'the Sight' by many people, but what matters to me more is doing the readings well. This is a service, not an ego trip. Read more

urban mindsets

I’ve been pondering over culturally-approved addictions and drugs lately. Caffeine, tobacco, as well as other mind-altering substances. Even television. Read more

another false divide

Last updated on: April 20, 2013 at 5:06 pm By Aine Llewellyn

My religion isn’t therapy, but I wouldn’t be surprised if other people thought it was. I’ve heard that sentiment a lot – religion isn’t therapy, religion is about the gods, this isn’t about you, so on, so forth – and it’s been bugging me.

Last updated on: April 18, 2013 at 9:34 am By Aine Llewellyn

My path isn’t Dver’s, and it has room for my returning to school to pursue a practical degree so that I can hold down a hopefully stable job, but her point still stands for me – my Work has room for that mostly because the gods, spirits, and I know that having a stable job *will allow* me to do the Work.
