It was through writing that I've shown people the faith, and it was through writing I found other people who knew or wanted to know these gods. That, I think, is a gift I cannot undervalue. Read more

Basics: About Divinity

Last updated on: February 20, 2014 at 2:48 am   By Aine Llewellyn

In the faith, we hold that everyone has a spark of what could be a god, but that certain events or acts must take place for that spark to ignite into a flame. Through the accomplishment of great acts. Or through great deaths. Or accidents that no one could have predicted. Read more

Monday Tarot: 0 the Fool

Last updated on: February 18, 2014 at 10:27 am   By Aine Llewellyn

It is not a test. It is the start of a great new journey. They rip from us the ribbons of fate to show us all the possibilities before us and before them, so that we can walk better with them. So we can choose better alongside them. So we can fall better next time. Read more

Basics: the West

Last updated on: February 12, 2014 at 7:06 pm   By Aine Llewellyn

The otherworld the gods inhabit in the Otherfaith is called variously the West, Westernlands, Western Faery, and Faeryland. But the West is not just our world reflected – it is inhabited by the gods, the spirits, and its land is host to their epic stories. The West shimmers and glows. It is not a mirror – it is a sister world. Read more

Monday Tarot: the High Priestess

Last updated on: February 10, 2014 at 4:29 pm   By Aine Llewellyn

the Clarene can create our eyes or split them open. the Ophelia drowns us so we may pass through the underworld, and the Dierne shows us how to return again. And the Laetha can light our eyes alight so we see the unseen and possess such great powers. They each possess a key to our spiritual power, a power not tied to our gender or our genitalia. Read more

Musings: Pride

Last updated on: February 7, 2014 at 1:49 pm   By Aine Llewellyn

Sometimes we feel big, bigger than those around us. When we buy into the voice inside us that says we are better than other people, we're superior, we're inherently more valued, we lose so much. We lose chances to learn, we lose the ability to listen to others. We also lose some of our awareness and can step on the toes of those around us, and if we're too lost in the arrogance spiral, we might not even care. Read more
