for these dark days and nights filled with memories and spirits:

howling whispers - a ritual playlist full of shadows, sighs, and ethereal strangeness.

dziady -  a slavic playlist for an eerie and dark night of ancestral veneration and cult of the dead.

Cloistered nun-hood would be cool if the lifestyle was based around anything but religion. Imagine a sect of women who sequester themselves from the distractions of the modern world to archive women's history or do STEM research in women's health? An order of women who dedicated 5+ years to living modestly so they have more time to better womankind. I would sign up in a heart beat! Sadly the fervor of nuns is wasted on a imaginary man in the sky.

To my fellow pagans/polytheists, a warning: the extremely antisemitic Satanism anon is going around again asking what you think of them. Don't publish it, don't give them the publicity they tend to send the same anon to a ton of pagans/polytheists all at once so they reach a wide audience that way.
