New addition @devout-of-the-infernals for demonolatry!

Okay while I wanted to wait to make more blogs, my sysmates didn't want to, so

@devout-of-the-theoi : Hellenic Polytheism

@devout-of-the-heathen : Heathenism

@devout-of-god : Christianity / Christopaganism (depends on the poster which one it is but we're not open about who is posting)

[devout-khajiit]

Like it's enough my first thought is "Moonrot... what bad thing is coming?" then i remind myself it's most likely mundane as shit instead of not.

One of the weirdest aspects of my faith is taken from Wolves of the Beyond: Moonrot (the sight of the moon during the day) is a negative omen. I don't take it super seriously anymore because the visage of the moon during the day is super common in some times and places, but as a kid whenever I'd see the moon during the dsy I'd take it super seriously lmao

I might wait on this a little bit. wait until the haunting is done for because I've not really even been maintaining my other blogs thanks to that and so I need to be able to maintain things before I make more blogs

A small part of me wants to make sideblogs for each non-PCP pantheon I work with. (Or... that my sysmates work with, in some cases, like a Christopagan sideblog...)

(Yes I'm plural it just never comes up lmao. might change that.)

[devout-khajiit]

This doesn't include the unrecorded pantheon despite being non-PCP because they already have one @devout-of-the-phoenix which you should totally go follow wink wink nudge nudge

Forgot to update thissssss. they were just saying thank you for the consecration and a congratulations for a job well done. Nothing big, nothing special.

Got all my consecration done. Now to work on the readings I need to get done ( psst, if you're interested in my readings, go over to @khajiit-reads ), and hopefully be able to focus, because my focus is not working with me today.

However, Witch Mother and my guardians are kind of hounding me so maybe I should listen instead of working but. eh?

I shall see what they want and if it's lucky for me then it'll just be a short thing then I can get back to the work I need to be doing.

Am I ashamed? Yes. Do I want to post this and show it to the whole world? Damn right.

Happy Pride! Let's raise some money for Trans Lifeline!

It's almost time! We're kicking off our five-day streamathon for Trans Lifeline on Monday, June 16 at 1:00 PM (EDT), over on Twitch!!!!

Join us on Twitch every day next week for chaotic, joyful good-doing. Donations go to support Trans Lifeline's work, which is more crucial these days than ever before. You can learn more about their cause and what your dollars are paying for over on their website.

That's not all, of course! There are rewards for making donations at different amounts:

(Incentives may vary depending on what we're doing - during tarot readings/divination segments, for example, instead of a doodle, you'd get a bigger tarot reading live.)

Our initial goal is $200, with milestones at $100 and $150:

That's right - at $200 I'm raffling off my extra Normal Tarot copy! If we reach that milestone, everyone who's donated $5 or more is automatically entered. Each $5 gets one entry, so $25 gets five entries. If we reach it, of course!

What's all the rest of that, you ask?? I suppose we'll have to raise enough to reveal the higher tiers...!

The campaign is live now, so if you'd like to get in early and make a donation, feel free to do so! Early birds who donate $5 or more before the streamathon starts will get a free 5-card reading from me (and it counts toward raffle entries if we hit $200)!! Fulfillment for these will start the week of June 30 to give time for the streamathon and my upcoming vacation week!

Reblogs help spread the word! We've got a packed schedule, so I hope you can join us to hang out and help us meet our goals for Trans Lifeline.

Dionysus doodle :3

[devout-khajiit]

I've always visualized Dionysus in such a specific way. Embodying hedonism & revelry & lust in perhaps a non-traditional sense. Alluring all the same.

Why make UPG so complicated?

I think it's easy for us polytheists to fall into a black-and-white trap regarding UPGs/experiences of the divine. Either every bird and candle flicker is a sign from the Gods, or we dismiss all experiences as total coincidence and fail to see the gods in our daily lives.

Have we considered...writing it down?

I keep a notes app log of all my subjective encounters with the Gods. If I experience something surprising, out of place, or oddly convenient, I write it down. I don't analyze -- just record the facts and how I felt in the moment.

Logging my experiences allowed me to notice patterns. I now know that when I see/hear a god's name several times, within a short time frame (typically 2 days - 1 week), in unexpected, unrelated places -- maybe I should listen up. I also experience "camera zoom" in many of these cases, where I'm staring into space and a sign slides neatly into view, or I'm "panning" and my eyes choose to focus on a minute detail, which upon further examination ends up being deity-related.

At the same time, hindsight allows me to understand that the crows outside and the local business named after Apollo....are just local birds and companies that work in my area. While journalling can highlight potential divine interactions, it can also highlight cases where we fell for confirmation bias and keep us humble.

Treating subjective experience with a more objective lens allows us to build trust in ourselves and our practice by keeping us grounded in reality, while also recording unique experiences. If you haven't already, I highly recommend writing things down!
