We can take from this card that we should enjoy these moments of calm and harmony. They will feed us during the times of struggle and stress. Read more
What's the point of writing about this faith anyway? Because someone -- even many someones -- might need it. Read more
[This post was meant to go up yesterday, but life and school got in the way.] I’m restarting my posts on the Otherfaith, and each Wednesday I’ll be posting basic information about the gods, spirits, daily practices, and other important bits of the faith. Every Friday (maybe this Saturday, if my word processor is still down) I’ll post more freeform musings on various topics concerning the Otherfaith. Other days are open for other rants, though I’m hoping to produce less... Read more

The week of Reunion was as much of a religious break as I could give myself. Now, we start again. 2013 was an intense year for me. I started blogging here at Patheos. I met a lot of people who have helped shape me and influenced... Read more
Happy Christmas Eve to those who celebrate, and happy Reunion Eve to those in the Otherfaith. Tonight, I’ll be posting a variety of quotes from myths with links, all which connect to Reunion in some way. from the Founding of the West, which is rather plain in its meaning: The troop moved onward, pressing until all that lay before them was the steel and building of man and all that lay behind was the forest and field of Faery.
