#I wanted the jewel originally to be the primary focus of the piece

Hey I follow you on twitter!!! YOUR ART IS HELLA GORGEOUS AND IM HELLA JEALOUS!! I have a few questions for you if you don't mind :) 1. how old were you when you started gettin into art and 2. any tips for someone like me to be better at creating characters and getting better at digital art and just in general?

aAAA tHANK YOU!!!!! i’m sorry this reply is 3000 years late!!!

I’ve literally been always drawing. Like, ever since I could remember, I’ve been drawing and creating OCs and generally just vibin off in my own little world. [so easily a couple decades of just doodling]

with creating characters, especially when you’re just getting into the swing of it, you gotta let your creative brain derive influence from existing media. loads of artists feel compelled to be 110% original right out the gate, and this actually does more to hinder their creative flow since they won’t let themselves experiment and take inspiration from existing ideas. it’s not BAD to want to be original, just don’t ever make that your primary focus when designing.

take when I first started character design for example [if i could really call it that, i was just making OCs for shits and giggles at that age] I was particularly influenced by two primary things.101 Dalmatians, because that was my childhood obsession, and Cardcaptor Sakura

The result? a spotless Dalmatian OC named Saraberos. Here she is:

while spotless Dalmatians had been “done” and that big jewel around her neck [as well as her name] was Very reminiscent of Keroberos, she ended up her own adequately unique thing!! You just gotta take what you love, mash it all together and apply it in a fun new way!

The same can be said about getting better at digital art!

Regardless whether its digital or traditional, getting better at art is something all artists strive for; but in trying to outdo our previous pieces we tend to forget that art is not a race.

A few key things I’ve personally helpful to remember while bettering myself:

watching/referring to tutorials is not cheating

using references is not cheating

other artists are your friends, not your competition

let yourself draw bad

every drawing you make, completed or not, is another little itty bit of experience towards your art goal[s]

it’s okay to play with art styles that aren’t yours, just don’t trace/plagiarize someone else’s work

always sign and/or watermark your work

never ever EVER value your art based on how much interaction it gets on social media. you’re still building your platform and bettering your skill. give it time and both will grow.

there will ALWAYS be artists younger and more talented than you; try not to take this to heart. they have access to art resources you yourself probably didn’t at their age. [tablets didn’t exist when I started, that’s for sure]

If you want to get better with digital art specifically, watch tutorials on Youtube! Ask artists about what brushes and programs they use! I personally use Clip Studio Paint for all my work. It regularly goes on sale, and unlike Photoshop [which I do not recommend ANYONE to use, don’t do it, do not give Adobe your money] you only need to pay for the program once. Clip Studio also boasts a huge catalog of art resources created by other artists that you can download and use to your heart’s content. Sometimes you have to pay for things, but you can usually find really really good brushes for free. Clip Studio should really give me money for how much I boast about their software to everyone fkljgld

Also, don’t be afraid to draw inspiration from your artist peers. If you see someone drawing something that makes you nod your head and say “huh, I wanna draw like that”, then do it! Do art studies! Experiment! Draw good! Draw bad! The world ends at your horizons, so don’t be afraid to grasp your pen and create!!

BtT Light Novel Club Chapter 7: True Tenchi Muyo! Volume 2 (Yosho)

Welcome to another edition of the Beneath the Tangles Light Novel Club! With it being the holiday season, I gave our club a break and decided to approach a novel on my own (which gave me the chance to read a book that probably no one else on staff wanted to read anyway!). Having read volume one of the True Tenchi Muyo! novels for our fourth session, we’re jumping into volume two, titled “Yosho,” for this one!

Since a discussion format won’t do with just one club member being involved, I’m changing up the format as well. Today, I’m giving you Five Questions We Had (and Five We Didn’t) That True Tenchi Muyo! Volume 2 Answers!

Question We Didn’t Have #1: Why is Ayeka’s hair purple?

The assumption, of course, is that it just matches her father, Azusa’s hair, but as we find out, in-born genetics is not the case for the shade of purple. The prologue to the novel starts with an unexpected scene, with Washu reverting Ayeka’s hair color to its original BLUE. Yep, in the category of things we didn’t know we didn’t know is that Ayeka and Sasami both share their mother’s hair color.

But this isn’t just some trivial information—the reason that Ayeka’s hair is digitally edited when she is young is because of Yosho. As a child, Yosho has an unrequited love toward his step-mother, Misaki, whose hair is of course blue. That presents a problem—not because of incest, which is a continual theme in Tenchi Muyo, but because Misaki is the emperor’s wife. So Seto, ever the meddler/thinker/strategist, seeks to find ways for Yosho to forget his feelings for Misaki. Yosho becomes betrothed to his step-sister, now with hair that matches her father’s color, not her mom’s. He is is also sent away to the Galaxy Police Academy to keep him far away from Misaki.

Question We Had #1: Is Yosho interesting enough to carry an entire light novel?

Let’s face it: other than Tenchi himself, Yosho is probably the least interesting major character from the original OVAs. So how could we read an entire novel with him as the central character? Well, as with volume one, the answer is partly given by looking at Yosho as a child and young man, before he’s set in his ways, which helps to make him more intriguing. But he’s also surrounded by other interesting characters (reminiscent of Tenchi’s situation) and royal intrigue. So the answer is both yes and no—Yosho is interesting, though he doesn’t carry the light novel himself.

Question We Didn’t #2: What was Yosho like as a child?

In anime and anime-related works, children are often developed out of archetypes—they play a role, but except for a few notable exceptions, there’s not much too them. It’s a bold choice, then, to focus a large portion of a light novel on a boy, even one entering adolescence. But it works very well, especially when relating it to volume one where the wild and bold Azusa is center stage. Yosho is confident but well-mannered and respectful. But there is a little Azusa in him, too, especially when it comes to a desire to take action—and that helps keep things interesting.

Question We Had #2: What was Yosho like as a young man?

One of the most shocking disclosures of the original OVAs was when Yosho removes his disguise, revealing himself to be Katsuhito, a handsome man appearing to be in his twenties. Kept young by his tree/ship, Funaho, it now looked like he—not rat-tailed Tenchi—was the true lead of this series! My assumption would have been that this Yosho would be the primary character of the book bearing his name. Alas, we don’t get much of the young-man version of Yosho. We do see a teen version fighting Ryoko, but it’s only in the last portion of the book. Though he’s engaging—it’s like the responsible young Yosho I mentioned above meets a determined, strong, and freedom-seeking adolescent—it’s probably for the best that he doesn’t fit into the story for long. We get just a taste of him as he fights Ryoko—more on that later.

Question We Didn’t #3: How did Yosho meet his wife?

The family drama that is Jurai is complicated. I’ve absorbed it in clumps and pieces over the last couple of decades, and so I’m forever forgetting and remembering and learning the connections all over again. One thing I’d forgotten was about Yosho’s wife—the story does a nice job of introducing her, developing the couple’s relationship, and even making suitable excuses for their distance between them. Plus, TWO FOR ONE: we get to meeting Yosho’s first wife as well, who is of course also related to him.

Question We Had #3: How could Yosho be stronger than Ryoko with the three jewels?

He’s not, but the book, which describes the fight between the two, explains how Yosho is able to defeat Ryoko. It takes some assistance, tenacity, and strategy. Ryoko is already harmed when she fights Yosho, handicapped by her meeting with Tsunami. Yosho is able to counter Ryoko, also, with help from his ship, Funaho, and his Light Hawk Wings, which he uses to take two of Ryoko’s jewels away. And still, even with one jewel left, Ryoko proved to be a formidable foe.

Question We Didn’t #4: What role does religion play in Tenchi Muyo?

Religion in Tenchi Muyo always surrounds the ideas of the Chusin (the three goddesses) and the Juraian trees, though none of this is religious in any typical sense of the word. However, religion unexpectedly takes on a stronger meaning in this second light novel. A conflict occurs when Yosho becomes close to Airi, who is the daughter of the head priest / leader of a world with a theocratic government which has a lot of tension with Jurai, and later we discover, is hatching a plot involving Tsunami. Airi’s people want Tsunami for her power, an object of veneration that will help the government consolidate their grip on the people, a nice analogy to how some governments and leaders use religion today.

Question We Had #4: How did Yosho seal Ryoko away?

A desperate Ryoko takes a familiar-looking hostage

As I mentioned before, Tenchi Muyo! isn’t known for it action scenes, but the light novels paint their action better than how such scenes are animated in the OVAs. The chapter involving Ryoko is engaging and exciting, as Yosho must find a way to calm her power and rid her of her jewels before he can defeat her. The excitement is also heightened because the entire last chapter feels like fanservice—it details events of which we already know and features a beloved character at her maximum strength. In that way, I was reminded of The Phantom Menace, which introduced us to some of the major players as young people, and also of Rogue One, whose ending connect directly to A New Hope, as the end of Yosho connects to the first OVA.

Question We Didn’t #5: How strong is Funaho anyway?

In the second OVA, Funaho is introduced as a woman of calm and gentle demeanor, though with a hidden fiery side. The light novel explores that part of her more. Enhanced somehow through her time in Jurai, Funaho has become a warrior in her own right (though only through a certain condition—I won’t spoil that for those who haven’t yet read), one so strong that she can take down fearsome warriors and challenge even the strongest members of Jurain royalty. No wonder her son and grandson are so powerful!

Question We Had #5: Why did Yosho stay on earth?

I had long assumed that Yosho stayed on earth for reasons of its peaceful existence, to keep an eye on Ryoko, and because he simply couldn’t return home. Those do all apply (though perhaps he could have made contact with Jurai through Funaho), but there are other conditions, too—less significant is that he took the fall for Ryoko’s attack, and more importantly is that the decision was the culmination of the entire novel, which could be described as Yosho’s search to determine what he wants to do with his life. And what he wants is the freedom to make his own decisions.

And so concludes this meeting of the Beneath the Tangles light novel club! I hope you enjoyed exploring some questions about Tenchi Muyo! that volume two answered, and I hope you’ll pick up the series if you haven’t read it (it’s really very good). In the meantime, stay tuned as we make some changes to the club in the coming year, though as always, we hope you’ll join along and become part!

Leaving a legacy

This article was originally published in the Summer 2018 issue of Themis magazine.

By Heather Matthews Kirk, Contributing Writer (@lsuzetataualpha)

Convention 2018 marked a new era in Zeta Tau Alpha as the Presidents of all three entities moved on from their roles.

To most Zetas, the numbers nine and five carry great significance. After all, as new members we study the histories of our nine young Founders, and not long after, we learn what the five points of the crown will represent to us throughout our lives. But it’s the number three that really makes Zeta Tau Alpha tick. Our “three entities”—the Fraternity, the ZTA Foundation and the ZTA Fraternity Housing Corporation—make up the whole of Zeta Tau Alpha, each providing an important piece to the experience and each contributing in synergy with the other two. For the first time ever, at Convention 2018, ZTA will see a change in the leadership of all three entities as the Presidents—Carolyn Hof Carpenter of the Fraternity, Becky Hainsworth Kirwan of the Foundation and Julia Marthaler Hill of the FHC—move on from their roles at the same time.Yet, what each of these leaders will tell you is  that ZTA is the strongest it’s ever been, and further, it’s future is in good hands.

Becky Hainsworth Kirwan ZTA Foundation President

In 1998, ZTA celebrated its Centennial Convention with fanfare and sisterhood in Richmond, Virginia. While the Fraternity commemorated this milestone, the ZTA Foundation marked a changing of the guard as Becky Hainsworth Kirwan became its fifth President.

During her service over the last 20 years—almost one-third of the entity’s history—the Foundation has experienced tremendous growth in both its fundraising and impact, staying true to its mission to support educational and philanthropic programs and scholarships that are ever “responsive to the needs of a changing society.”

To enable this vision, the Foundation had a goal to raise $1 million per year when Mrs. Kirwan became President. Yet, through the efforts of our chapters and the generosity of donors, the Foundation now annually raises almost $4 million, and Mrs. Kirwan considers it one of her board’s chief responsibilities to thank donors. “We’re known as the huggers,” she said. “When we see you, we want to say ‘thank you’ with a hug. We’re grateful, and we want you to know it.”

When asked what has inspired people and chapters to give at greater levels, Mrs. Kirwan said the reason is the same as what motivated her two decades of Foundation service. “It’s pride in what we do,” she said. “Members have a strong sense of pride in our philanthropy, in the scholarships we provide, but also in what we have done to make a difference in the lives of members and the world through programming.”

ZTA is a leader among sororities in the education it provides, much of which is funded through Foundation grants. “Today’s ZTA programs have a broader impact and audience,” she said. For example, Mrs. Kirwan’s “favorite” Foundation-funded program, Behind Happy Faces, teaches that mental health needs as much care as one’s physical health, which is “relevant to everyone.”

She also takes great pride in the vast growth of the Foundation’s scholarship program. In the past biennium, the Foundation awarded a record $1.6 million in scholarships—more than four times the amount given during the 1998–2000 biennium. In the same time frame, the Foundation also nearly doubled the average amount of each scholarship from $1,483 to $2,750.

ZTA’s national philanthropic cause, breast cancer education and awareness, was relatively new when Mrs. Kirwan started in her role, and under her leadership, the Foundation trademarked “Think Pink.” In addition, ZTA forged national partnerships with the National Football League, American Cancer Society® and Bright Pink®, helping “tap our membership in a different way,” by increasing volunteer engagement and expanding our reach.

“Our philanthropy has truly become who we are, not just what we do,” she said. “When I look at my friends who have fought breast cancer, it is no longer the end of the world. I know we have made a difference.”

Now, she is confident in the future of the Foundation. “I hope I have left the Foundation in a place where the next leader can take it another step forward,” she said. “We have a bright future. It is time for the board, under new leadership, to give the next hug, find the next donor, impact the next scholarship recipient, fund the next program and celebrate the next survivor.”

Julia Marthaler Hill Fraternity Housing Corporation President

In 2006, Julia Marthaler Hill passed the torch as National President of the Fraternity and was installed as the sixth President of the Fraternity Housing Corporation.

In the last 12 years, the FHC has increased the number of facilities it owns and manages by 14—from 99 to 113. In that same time frame, the FHC almost doubled its net worth, from $20 to $38 million.

“We are so  where we need to be,” Mrs. Hill said. Our financial position allows ZTA to look at housing projects differently, which is a point of pride for her.

“Twenty years ago, we had to do major renovations in phases, spread out over years. Now we can do a complete renovation and have the ‘wow’ factor and benefit of finishing it as a cohesive project,” she said. “And, when the Fraternity is interested in an extension opportunity that would involve housing for the new group, we can often say, ‘we can do that!’”

In 2018, the FHC added another jewel to its crown as it opened the new International Office in Carmel, Indiana. This ZTA “home,” which provides a collaborative and functional space for our staff, has been a labor of love for Mrs. Hill and the volunteers and staff who have worked on it.

Yet, Mrs. Hill’s “greatest honor” has been working with the 35 different volunteers who have served on the FHC board of directors during her tenure. Because of their expertise and dedication, much of the design and management that goes into a project is done on a volunteer basis, maximizing ZTA’s resources. “Through their service, we have continued to fulfill the real purpose of the FHC—giving our chapters safe and competitive housing while securing our position as a leader in the fraternity/sorority world of housing,” Mrs. Hill said.

In its 41 years, the board has continued to grow to meet the needs of an expanded Fraternity. “We have operated in much of the same way for four decades, but as we’ve grown, the many moving parts have become difficult to manage in our current structure,” she said. “Our assets and needs are that of a good-size corporation in the business world, and we needed to update our organizational structure to match that size.”

In her final year as President, the FHC unanimously passed and introduced—with the support of the Fraternity and Foundation—a new board structure that will help the organization evolve. The FHC board will now have eight positions elected at Convention: President; Secretary-Treasurer; three Vice Presidents—one for each collegiate area; and three Vice Presidents geared toward a specific area of expertise—Design, Construction and Renovation, and Operations.

“The new structure allows us to be more visionary and provide an opportunity for each leader to work directly with a committee to accomplish goals,” Mrs. Hill said. “I am very confident in the women who have been slated to lead the FHC into the future. Their nominations fit their unique wheelhouses, so they can really bring their talents to the table.”

For her next ZTA chapter, Mrs. Hill will likely not go far. At the time of Themis’ printing, she is slated as the Vice President of Design in the new FHC board structure, which fits her own passions and talents well. “I want to see this transition through, but in a way that will allow the new board to start fresh,” she said. “I’ll be there to help.”

Carolyn Hof Carpenter National President

In 2014, just two weeks after Carolyn Hof Carpenter donned the Purple of the Fraternity for the first time as National President at Convention, ZTA said goodbye to a dynamic leader when long-time Executive Director Deb Ensor lost her battle with cancer.

Ms. Ensor often said to Zetas, “Greatness is expected of you,” and in the months after her passing, Mrs. Carpenter rose to that challenge. She provided steady leadership to the staff and National Officers in a difficult time and fostered collaboration to chart a course for the future.

“After having Deb at the helm for 35 years, we had to reestablish our ways of doing things,” she said. “Today, we are a stronger ZTA.”

Under her leadership, the Fraternity has continued to grow, with its undergraduate membership topping 20,000 for the first time in 2016 and the number of dues-paying alumnae steadily increasing. Two collegiate chapters have been reactivated and six new chapters have been added to the Chain of Chapters, while seven alumnae chapters have been reorganized and one new chapter has formed.

In four years, Mrs. Carpenter has crossed many items off her “Zeta Bucket List,” but the most memorable was in 2017, when she led and live-streamed the Founders’ Day service “Live from Longwood.”

“To go back to the place where we were founded and honor those women, knowing Zetas everywhere could participate in real time—that was incredible,” she said.

She also takes great pride in ZTA’s new programs and initiatives, which foster development in and meet the changing needs of our members. New offerings aim to prevent sexual assault, support academic success, explore ZTA’s values and provide a revamped new member experience. Officer training was another primary focus, with ZTA hosting regional Officer Leadership Academies to train more than 1,000 student leaders.

Mrs. Carpenter also worked closely with staff and hired the current Executive Director, Meghan Vicinus Parker. In the last year, they collaborated on a new structure to promote increased teamwork between the staff and three boards.

“The structure and systems created make us more efficient and nimble, so we can all better work together to serve our organization and its members at every level,” she said.

In this hybrid model, volunteers work closely with chapters and members, and the staff bolsters their efforts by providing expertise in key areas. It is one of ZTA’s strengths in the Panhellenic world and helps volunteers focus their time, which is ever important as “women will continue to have many things pulling at their attention—family, career and volunteer opportunities,” Mrs. Carpenter said.

Enhancing the volunteer experience is part of her legacy as she departs her role at Convention 2018.

“Everyone has a seat at the table in Zeta Tau Alpha,” she said. “Our engaged volunteers are a strength, and there is a place for everyone to use her time and talent.”

Collaboration: A Combined Legacy

While each entity has flourished under the leadership of its outgoing President, the collaboration between the three is what makes Zeta Tau Alpha so successful.

“Our cooperation is a strength, especially with this changing of the guard,” Mrs. Carpenter said.

“We are three working as one,” Mrs. Hill said. With every change and step forward, each entity provides support, strength and guidance for the others.

“Kind of like a marriage, we work at it to build and keep trust,” Mrs. Kirwan said. “We know how important it is to have open communication and shared goals, as the success of each entity contributes to the overall experience of our members.”

During this time of transition, all three entities “are in the best place we have ever been,” Mrs. Hill said. “There is strength in our past, and we have great confidence in our future.”

Hello starbrights, it's time for a little housekeeping. A few things: I've recently made a Twitter account to focus on writing, you can follow me @river_quinn if you'd like. Currently I'm participating in the #LGBTWIP challenge, so there's little extra morsels of Ossuary stuff there. Also, I'm going to try to get onto a more regular posting schedule, ideally once a week, likely on weekends. You're welcome to hold me to this! Lastly, I also have a ko-fi account, so if you feel so inclined, you can support my work there. I'm really grateful to everyone who's on board already, you're all wonderful! I'm glad this world is drumming up some interest, and if there's a story snippet or some world-building that's stuck with you, maybe reblog it?Your followers might like it, too, and it would really help me out to have my work be seen in wider circles. I had a longer piece planned for this weekend, but it turned into a bigger project than I'd originally intended, so you'll be seeing that next Saturday, most likely. For now, enjoy another myth (Rho'ki's favorite, the one they carry a talisman of told in stitched motifs on a small kerchief, embroidered by Feana), and a collection of short introductions of some minor characters I'm excited to flesh out.

When Yotri was young, all ocean and sky, the Mother of Creation thrust Her hands into the waters and drew up the land, letting it draw its first breath. She sculpted the mountains and carved out canyons, smoothed the plains and caressed into being the rolling hills. The God of Passion, Her Shining Light, cast golden rays down onto the soil and flowers sprang up to turn their faces to Him, moss and grass covering stone and dirt and blanketing the land. Together, They planted the world and began to birth small creatures into it. Inspired, the Creatrix bent down and kissed the ground, and a forest of saplings pushed their way up into the Light.

Slowly, they grew together, roots entwined, stretching upwards, and when they were thirsty the Mother sent them rain. When the sun shone too brightly, She shaded them with clouds. At night, they rested under glittering stars and watched the moons change, watched bright colorful plumes of star births blossoming in the dark Cosmos, and as the forest grew taller, it fell in love with the sky. They reached higher and higher towards the clouds and stars, feeling kissed by the rain, embraced by the wind, graced by the night's shimmering darkness, but no matter how high they reached, they could not touch the sky.

Crestfallen, the leaves began to droop and lose their color. The trunks and branches no longer swayed in the wind, only a cruel reminder of their unattainable love. Feeling their sadness, the Divine Lovers plucked out tufts from the clouds and made from them a flock of white birds. The birds could soar through the sky and roost in the trees, and the forest knew they were of the sky. The leaves became green again and flowers bloomed, bearing fruit. When the birds ate the forest's fruit, their white feathers turned into bright floral colors, and they carried the hues back up into the sky like a love note.

Mesmerized by the colors, the sky fell in love, too. It no longer needed the Mother's prompting to nourish the forest with rain, or cloak it in fog, or shade it with clouds. It did so out of adoration, showering its affection down onto leaves and branches, soaked up into the roots to help the trees grow taller and taller, never quite touching the sky, but coming ever closer so that they might admire one another, sending their love back and forth through rain and birds.

When the clouds break after a storm and are painted jewel- bright hues like a field of flowers, that is their love story.

minor characters

Vamman Khi - She is the temple mother and spiritual leader of Handien, a former head priestess of the Mother of Creation. She’s a portly trans woman in her late sixties that gives off intense high school art teacher vibes; commanding and intense when she needs to be, which is more often than she’d like, but soft and gentle and kind, with an exuberant streak that keeps spirits lifted. The younger priests and dedicants are like her children, and quite a few of them were orphans of Rho’ki’s generation that she looked after as a priestess; she’s watched them grow up and choose to remain with the temple and take their vows, and it makes her feel like a proud mom. She is the only person besides Feana who is allowed to hug Rho’ki without asking. It isn’t uncommon for priests to be nude in the temple (there’s significance to it in terms of vulnerability and celebrating the physical body as sacred creation, but it’s also very hot in Handien for most of the year), and Vamman Khi is nude almost always, whether she’s in the temple or not, leaving nothing about her body to the imagination. She is castrated, has breasts, and still has her penis, she’s fine with it. Being trans (or queer, for that matter) isn’t a big deal for Mahai folk, they recognize five main genders along a spectrum (and are open to more if a person does not feel they fit neatly within these) so Vamman’s body on display doesn’t raise so much as an eyebrow. She is beloved, especially by the devout, and a major influential power in the community, which she does not take lightly. Rho’ki and a lot of the other priests around their age or younger call her Mama.

Draea - A priestess of the God of Passion, Draea is from a large modern city on the other side of Mahai, but came to train in Handien and fell in love with the community, asking to stay. She had just been ordained when Rho’ki returned home and they had beds next to each other in the dormitories and quickly became friends. She is a cis woman, very petite with short cropped hair and traditional tattoos of her order on her forearms and hands. She is one of the priests who performs sacred healing and pleasure, which can range from cuddle sessions with talk therapy, to hands-on sex education, to sex in general. There are many different facets of the Passion Order and sex is not required of priests (it’s in fact a very strict and respected realm of practice with a huge emphasis on consent and awareness), but the God of Passion does tend to attract a lot of pan hyper-sexual extroverts into the order. Draea is quick-witted and assertive and a loyal friend. People who go into training for priesthood intending to dedicate themselves to the Passion God have a high turnover rate for not making it to ordination for a whole host of reasons, and those who make it to their vows are often the most devout of any of the priest orders. Draea deeply loves her god and sees her work as an important part of serving the community and spreading His joy. There’s a really delicate balance between treating sex and intimacy with respect and not trivializing it as a passing pleasure, but also not discounting that that pleasure is sacred and a gift to be enjoyed for what it is. Draea played a big part in helping Rho’ki let go of the resentment and distrust they had for the God of Passion and His followers and understanding what He is really about, rather than the warped ideas they had been manipulated with in the Qores temple.

Eridae - A young priestess-in-training, Eridae is shy and quiet and sweet and has become like a little shadow to Rho’ki. She is sixteen and trans and looks up to Rho’ki as an ideal of what a priest should be. Though she doesn’t feel called to They Who Is Between, her year studying Their realm is her favorite so far simply because it means getting to be taught by and work with Rho’ki. She comes to them for advice and guidance and wants to make them proud. She also has an enormous crush on a boy that sells bread in the market and is too shy to speak to him.

Moireina - Mahaji tradition is not closed only to Mahai folk, but it is uncommon for non-Mahai to follow their path, and rarer still for them to pursue priesthood. Moireina is Skanan, nonbinary, and a priestess of the Mother of Creation. She is disfigured (Crouzon syndrome) and deaf and the primary caretaker of the temple’s rooftop garden. There was some stigma both about her ethnicity/nationality and her appearance when she first came to Handien, but regulars of the temple got to know her quickly and she’s a favorite for spells involving luck and prosperity. She and Rho’ki often have lunch together in the temple cafeteria and trade herbs, seeds, and gardening tips. Because Handien’s temple is one of the oldest and largest in use, it is a minor tourist destination for non-Mahaji folk, and Moireina sometimes finds herself having to be the translator to tell curious Skanans admiring the architecture to take their damn shoes off and be respectful.

Dova Qersho - Qersho (his first name is irrelevant (dova is his title) because literally no one feels comfortable being informal enough with him to use it) is the elder priest of They Who Is Between. He’s trans and in his early eighties and is very no-nonsense. He walks with a cane and has slowly evolved in my mind to looking very much like Srila Prabhupada. In his old age, he leaves a lot of the presiding and counseling to the younger priests and focuses on the more mystical and esoteric parts of priesthood, though he is the one to give the final prayer at every tomb interment. He and Rho’ki have a great deal of respect for one another, Rho’ki is his chosen successor for dova after he has passed on, but their personalities are just similar enough that they clash and they don’t actually get along. They have virtually no personal relationship, only a working one, but for Rho��ki this is a benefit, as they never doubt if his faith in them is biased and knows it is based on merit, alone.

.

Handien is getting more populated by the minute in my head, but these five are currently the most prominent outside of Feana and Rho’ki. There will especially be a good deal more of Draea in backstory very soon!

Empireland: How Imperialism Has Shaped Modern Britain by Sathnam Sanghera - review

The government’s recently released (as of the time of writing) report of the commission of race and ethnic disparities is the latest example of Britain’s tendency towards denial of the existence of systemic and institutional racism. Britain seems to want to be a colour-blind, or post racial society but without committing to the hard work it will take to actually get there. This denial of the realities of racism in Britain is reflected by a denial of Britain’s history too. Britain’s history is a history of empire, and imperialism yet an historical amnesia seems to have taken hold. From our school curriculum, to our pop culture Britain’s past in empire, and imperialism seems to have been swept under the rug. We have a steady stream of period dramas, and films based on World Wars I and II but where is Oluadah Equiano’s award winning biopic? Where is Sarah Forbes Bonetta’s critically acclaimed limited series? They have been rendered footnotes by Britain’s desire to forget about the uncomfortable parts of its past. Empireland by Sathnam Sanghera is an attempt to trace the connections between Britain’s past in empire, and its present day despite efforts conscious and unconscious to obscure, and erase them.

The central argument which runs throughout Empireland is that the history of the British empire should be taught in a more comprehensive, and importantly a more honest way from school onwards. In that respect it is one part of a larger conversation, as the movement to decolonise our school curriculum has been gradually picking up steam and public support. Petitions calling for expanding the teaching of Black history out of the confines of October, or to improve the diversity of the material studied in English Literature for example have only increased over the last few years. The book makes a strong case for an increase in teaching about the history of the British Empire. Sanghera draws links to empire for many aspects of modern British life like our multiculturalism, the NHS, and the food and drink we consume on a daily basis. Nations, like individuals are the product of their pasts and experiences and Sanghera illustrates throughout that Britain is no exception.

A large part of taking a more honest evaluation of the British Empire and its effects is examining the aspects that are typically whitewashed. Sanghera achieves this by using diary entries, and reports from the time. While it makes for difficult reading, Sanghera employs these primary sources to powerful effect. He uses them to detail some of the dirty secrets of Britain’s history such as the massacres during the invasion of Tibet, or the genocide of the indigenous Tasmanians during the colonisation of Tasmania. One example that stuck out to me along these lines was when Sanghera was writing about slavery. When slavery is discussed it is usually in broader terms, and more focus is spent on Britain’s abolition movement. Sanghera focuses on Thomas Thistlewood, and his diary entries. Thomas Thistlewood was a slave owner in Jamaica. His diary entries describe in disturbing detail the punishments he doled out to his slaves. For example when one of his slaves tried to run away Thistlewood “gave him a moderate whipping, pickled him well, made Hector shit in his mouth, immediately put him in a gag whilst his mouth is full and made him wear it 4 or 5 hours.” As a reader, and a white man, I will admit this was shocking to read. While I knew slavery was (and still is) an abhorrent, monstrous crime, and I knew the crimes committed by slave owners were horrific I never knew they were forced to hold actual human faeces in their mouths for hours at a time. I knew it was terrible in the abstract, but the details really drove it home in my mind. It was disturbing to read but the fact that I didn’t know about it is exactly why I needed to read it.

Sanghera also writes in detail about the items and artefacts looted by British soldiers during colonisation and conquest, and about the process of looting itself. He reveals that the act of looting was so widespread among the British army that they had to come up with official rules as to what could and couldn’t be taken, and under what circumstances. He even points out that the act of looting is so closely linked to colonisation that the word loot itself is derived from the Hindi word lut which roughly means ‘spoils of war’. Here Sanghera shows the links between the modern day and the past as many of the items that were looted are currently on display, or in storage in British museums around the country. Artefacts like the Koh-i-Noor diamond have not simply popped out of thin air and existed as part of the British crown jewels since time immemorial. It was seized by the East India Trading Company after the annexation of the Punjab Region. Sanghera is critical of attempts to downplay the imperial roots of many artefacts, and the seeming reluctance of museums to return them to their countries of origin. This reluctance even extends to the 99% of artefacts that are held in storage, and not actually placed on display anywhere. Sanghera makes sure the reader remembers these artefacts have long histories of violence, bloodshed, and colonisation which cannot be encapsulated by a few lines on a display cabinet.

The discomfort I felt while reading parts of this book was necessary but that is not to say the book is an overly punishing one to read. It is not just a list of terrible things Britain has done in the name of empire. Sanghera writes with wit, and humour sprinkled throughout. It helps that Sanghera admits to his own ignorance on the history of the British empire numerous times. He makes it clear that he is a product of the same education system that he is criticising for focusing on world wars, and ancient romans at the expense of empire, and colonialism. While advocating for the decolonisation of our education system he is also in a sense decolonising himself. This approach positions Sanghera as a peer to the reader rather than an authority figure, and is one I appreciated. He refers to, and quotes the works of other historians throughout providing both an extremely comprehensive bibliography, and helpfully pointing the reader to other writers should they want to do any further reading on the subject. The effect is to make the book read like Sanghera is sharing what he has recently learned with the reader as equals, rather than lecturing the reader from on high.

To conclude this piece, while Sanghera argues throughout the book that Britain should rediscover the truth of its history of Empire, and not look away from the worst parts, he acknowledges that such an overhaul of our school curriculum, and attitude in general would be a huge undertaking. He illustrates Britain’s reluctance to deal with its past by comparing how Britain treats its history with how Germany treats its history in World War 2. Britain has statues that commemorate slave owners, and Germany has memorials to the victims of the holocaust. Britain has museums which proudly display looted artifacts, and Germany has guided tours of concentration camps showing the depth of their cruelty. Where Germany stares unflinchingly at its past to learn and avoid repeating it, Britain looks instead to a rose tinted alternate past where the effect of its empire is minimized at best. Sanghera gives an example of this denial from his own experiences. He describes how he wanted to make a documentary on the origins of, and truth about, India’s railway system but upon pitching the idea a TV producer turned him down saying rather bluntly “viewers don’t like to have their prejudices challenged”. This seemingly innate desire in Britain to use our history to confirm our preconceptions is one that no single book can break. However if we really do want to become the society described in the Sewell report we need to be serious about doing the hard work to get there. Decolonising our history with Empireland, and other books like it is only one of many steps we need to take.

“The Healing Earth” based on Psalm 8 (& James Weldon Johnson's “The Creation”)

A few years ago I was informed that Sky Lake was a prime example of “Celtic Christianity/Spirituality.” I had no idea what that meant. So I looked it up, and discovered that it was true, AND that there is a name for my spirituality. Isn't it wonderful when we find names for things we've known without having words? Looking up Celtic Spirituality reveals a description that starts with “Love of the Natural World.” It is explained this way:

“The prayers of the Celtic Saints are filled with experiences of God's presence in creation, simplicity of living in harmony with creation, and awareness of the sacredness of all things. The Psalms are full of praise for God's handiwork in nature, and Celtic Christianity followed in that tradition, reflected in prayers and poems which spoke of the Sacred soul in everything. As it says in the first chapter of Genesis, all things originate in the Divine Source, and so all things are sacred. The Presence permeates all of nature, and speaks to us of the 'Original/Essential Goodness' of everything. To enter into this Presence is a sacramental experience so that when we walk in nature everything is a visible reminder of the Invisible presence.”1

One of their saints, “Columbanus said – 'If you want to know the Creator, first get to know the creation.' If there is any one word that would sum up the essence of Celtic Spirituality, it's the word 'PRESENCE.' Awareness of the Sacred Presence at every moment of life, in all places.”2The other defining factors of Celtic Spirituality are community, hospitality, soul-friends, art and music, pilgrimage.

I suspect that for some of you, Celtic Spirituality is a part of your connection to God. For some, maybe it isn't. In any case, it is helpful to remember that within Christianity itself there are many developed roads and paths to God, and the ones that fit you best may have road signs and maps, if you want to find them. There are multiple spiritual paths, even within Christianity, because humans connect differently. For today, I'm going to continue to explore within a Celtic vein, but please remember this is one among many.

At this time of year I'm mesmerized by how many shades of green there are, and how many I can see in one glance at the world around us. Each tree and plant offer several shades, with the grass itself adding more. For me, this is a feast. I love seeing the verdant, vibrant, living world, and my soul is satisfied watching the wind blow through the various leaves. The Presence of God seems especially visible.

This is a colorful time of year, even beyond the green. Flowers are plentiful and many trees are still covered in flowers or leaves of other colors! It is a time of visual abundance, as richly and vibrantly beautiful as a snow covered winter day is beautiful in its unbroken stillness and grace.

This time of year I am most receptive to the creation narratives of the Bible, perhaps because spring seems to speak them all by itself, and the words of the narratives add to the story the world is telling! James Weldon Johnson's poem is one of the most famous re-tellings of Genesis, and Psalm 8 is one of the most glorious reflections on creation in the text. They remind us that God's fingerprints are found all over the world, and when we look for them, we can find them.

The natural world is the source of all the things we need for life, as well as being a source of deep wisdom. It is a reflection of God, as are all of God's creatures. One of my seminary professors offered us a way of praying that opens us to the wisdom of creation, by simply paying attention to one little aspect of the whole. He instructed us this way:

1. Go to a place where God’s creation meets you: ask for God’s presence with you.

2. Attend to the works of creation around you. Does one thing seem to invite you, strike you, impress you, or somehow attract you?

3. Come to a sense of quiet rest in the presence of God and in this piece of God’s handiwork.

4. Simply gaze upon this part of creation for an extended time – a time of wonder, amazement, openness, receiving.

5. Eventually, engage God in conversation about this thing you have noticed. You may want to ask God questions such as: Where has it been? Who has touched, held, seen it? What does God value it? How is it related to what is around it? How is it related to me? – to the rest of creation? What does it tell me of myself?

And finally… How is God present to me through this piece of creation? What does it tell me of God? What is God saying to me, offering me?

6. Remain for a time in the experience of whatever follows these questions.

7. Offer God thanks for this time and for the wonders of creation.3

This prayer form seems to derive particularly from Celtic Christianity, and the wisdom of the natural world and our capacity to hear it! The prayer, trusts creation and those listening to it.

This sounds a bit like the Psalmist, who spoke of star-gazing as source of wisdom. I'd like you to hear the Psalm anew, this version written by Barbara J. Monda. Her version focuses on the nurturing aspects of creation and our response to it. She refers to God as “Shekkinah” which according to Google means, “the glory of the divine presence, conventionally represented as light or interpreted symbolically (in Kabbalism as a divine feminine aspect).” Here is her version:

Shekkinah,4 how glorious is this world that everywhere bears the mark of your touch!

I sit among the mountains and am in awe of your beauty.

Babies in their mother's arms remind me of how you care for and know our every need.

We are safe in the cover of your clothes.

You hold at bay those who want to harm and take vengeance.

Your steadfastness is all around us and your love makes our hearts jump.

When I look up to the moon I see you there.

When I see the stars I know they are jewels worn by you, signaling your presence.

You have made us just less than yourself.

You have given us the caretaking of all the earth

and the creatures on it as our companions.

Birds sent by you to sing cheer my day.

Fish swim at my feet and the fox and deer bring joy to my life.

The work of your fingers is everywhere my eyes turn.

The sun warms us from above and the rocks hold us from below.

The rhythms of the oceans and the passing of the moon are all ours too,

woven in us so we will be fruitful as you are.

Shekkinah, I feel greatness of you in my bones.

How can I properly thank you for all you have done for me?

My soul reflects your love and my heart holds what you have made.

I will be the cup from which others may drink of you and we will all sing of your wonders.5

Another seminary professor, Marvin Sweeney, told us that the ancient Hebrew Temple was themed on creation.  He said that indicated that creation was the primary miracle of ancient Judaism, and everything else was derived from it. Similarly, creation is a theme throughout scripture, likely because the natural world has been a source of wisdom about God for all of humanity's history. Some are more in tune with it than others. The poets, the Psalmist, and Monda, and Weldon Johnson are particularly in tune. They each speak of humanity as connected to God, thus given special responsibility for caring for creation. Christian theology sometimes speaks of us as “stewards of God's earth.” That means that the earth and all that is in it is God's, but God trusts us to take care of it on God's own behalf. That is good, and meaningful work. However, given the impact of humanity on Global Climate Change and extinctions, we certainly have plenty of ways we could do that work better!

While the self-descibed defining factors of Celtic Spirituality were love of the natural world, community, hospitality, soul-friends, art and music, pilgrimage; I think the biggest difference I see is a focus on goodness: Goodness of God, Goodness of Creation, Goodness of Humanity. So much of Christianity has chosen to focus everything BUT the goodness. There is plenty in life that draws our attention that is not good. But, there is also much goodness, and when our souls are hungry, they hunger for goodness.

In Weldon Johnson's poem, creation begins as a response to God's SMILE.

Then God smiled,

And the light broke,6

And that image, which is itself a blessing, feels like the essence of Celtic Spirituality itself. God Smiled, light broke, creation began, and it was good....

And it is good still. Thanks be to God. Amen
