Thinky Thoughts

Last updated on: December 22, 2013 at 3:04 pm By Aine Llewellyn

I’m not sure if I’ll get another post up before Reunion/Christmas, but I did want to post some thoughts that have been turning around in my brain lately. Most of these will be about posts I hope to write in 2014, since a few of them I don’t feel are appropriate to write/post during Reunion. Originally I was thinking of writing a series of Tumblr posts regarding offending the Four Gods and making amends, but I’ve decided to make them... Read more

This will be another post that is mostly links and quotes, because – as I said before – I’m pretty exhausted and running on fumes, but also trying to post more regularly. To start, this song by Sara Bareilles, Cassiopeia, reminds me of the relation between the Laetha and Dierne so much it is almost painful. Over on A Sense of Place, Rhyd Wildermuth has a great post about land spirits. His post helped clarify an issue I was having... Read more

Some Thoughts on Polytheism

Last updated on: December 19, 2013 at 9:10 am By Aine Llewellyn

I struggle often with understanding an experience with a spirit or god on its own terms. I have grown from where I used to be - wherein every experience was metaphorical and implied some other meaning - and can now interact with spirits as they are, but I still find myself slipping into the tendency to interpret.

Songs for Reunion

Last updated on: December 14, 2013 at 7:21 pm By Aine Llewellyn

In preparation for Reunion, I thought I would post a variety of songs I have been listening to as I go about my work. And as I get ready for the general holiday cheer that we’re supposed to maintain during this month. Lorde – Everybody Wants to Rule the World (cover) Dirt Poor Robins – Love Again Beyonce – Love on Top Pentatonix – O Holy Night Mariah Carey – All I Want for Christmas Is You Ellie Goulding –...

About Reunion

Last updated on: December 10, 2013 at 11:55 am By Aine Llewellyn

Reunion – the holy week of December 25th to January 1st The holy days of Reunion are connected to the story of June & December, when the Dierne and Laetha are reunited after a trying period of separation. In the myth, Reunion is described as, “[not having] to choose between life and love anymore.” But they are about more than just the Dierne and Laetha, our Boy-Gods of love. They are connected to our Kings of love, our gods who formed the West... Read more

Why New Spirits

Happy December

Last updated on: December 2, 2013 at 6:53 pm By Aine Llewellyn

December is my favorite month. The smell of cold air, the heavy clouds that settle into the city, hot soups and baked goods – winter is my favorite season, and December has always been my favorite month of all. This December will be especially busy. Job hunting will crowd my schedule, along with interviews, and volunteering is coming onto my plate in a big way again. I have tons of essays to write concerning the Otherfaith, mostly in preparation for... Read more

Thanksgiving Quotes

Last updated on: November 25, 2013 at 5:12 pm By Aine Llewellyn

John Beckett posted about gratitude, and a part of his post spoke very true to my experience of Thanksgiving and its role in the Otherfaith (since it is part of our holy calendar): Gratitude in isolation can focus too much of our attention on ourselves and we can forget that not everyone has it so good. Our thankfulness that we have enough is no substitute for making sure everyone has enough. We accomplish this through giving and teaching, but also... Read more

Rooming with Spirits

Last updated on: November 14, 2013 at 9:00 am By Aine Llewellyn

Part of accepting these entities as real and living involves accepting that they have just as much right to be here, to me. It means I engage with them and try to find a healthy balance and ability to live alongside them. I don’t want to kick every spirit out, only to them call on them when *I* decide *I* need them.

While it is perfectly normal to lash out at a former faith, lashing out has a different effects and implications when you lash out at a minority faith. You need to consider how what you’re saying is going to reflect on the faiths you’re talking about. Read more
