Hail and Welcome
It is December in the year of covid. The weather, finally, turns colder. The chill has been an unpleasant surprise to my bones, albeit an expected delight to my mind; an opportunity to test and deepen my relationship to the cold. Perhaps I'll even enjoy a polar bear bath or two after a snowfall, inspired by Wim Hof and his widely-followed cold therapy method. It also presents the opportunity to test and deepen the relationship with myself, my spirituality, and being, with the many hours to be spent at home during the upcoming winter season setting an ideal stage and fine platform from which to jump into the things I've often forgotten to make time for in the past.
One way I plan to do this is by journal-keeping. Writing down thoughts, experiences, questions and maybe some theories or even answers to follow them. In days before I highly enjoyed this process being done by hand, and while I still do, I confess that these days my arthritic hands prefer to do this by typing over writing by hand. Another thing that my past self took pleasure in was making blogs, websites, coding in general.
So, the decision was made - after great deliberation, and some nervousness - to start up a new blog after years of hiatus from website-making, one which would serve as that spiritual journal. To be a record of things I learn, wonder about, experience, fret over, or perhaps just things that I'd like to immortalize in memory. I don't purport to have a great deal of spiritual knowledge already, nor claim to be an expert or learned master in anything. Since age 13, I've studied earth-based and ancient religions and gravitated towards certain things, leading me to the realization of my identity as a witch, guiding me towards gods I proceeded to work with and people from which I'd learn a great deal. 20 years later, my quest for knowledge remains never-ending, as does my search for understanding. I aim to record the happenings here as it continues, publishing it for any to read in the hopes that one of us - either you or me - may enrich the other in some way, large or small, based upon something somewhere among its contents. If nothing else, may it prove a moment's entertainment.
