Ugh
I pretty much only use LJ these days to follow a handful of people, but I am rapidly losing any desire to even do that. It seems LJ has decided that random comments I post on other blogs are spam and no one ever gets to see them... even to realize that it has been marked as spam for some reason ( Read more... ) -
Happy Winter Holiday
I'm entering that time of year where I start to hate most people of most faiths. It starts around Halloween and ends somewhere around mid-January. It's not for any one faith or reason, mind you.

A Look Back on Thanksgiving 2012
If you've been following this blog for quite a while, you've probably seen mention of where I'm from and if you're new, I'll simply state this: I am an American.

The Delphic Maxims - 4. Respect your parents (Γονεις αιδου)

The Delphic Maxims 3. Worship the Gods (Θεους σεβου)
Originally posted on my Hellene Wordpress page on 7/10/12Back on my journey with the Delphic Maxims, I come across another one that is, as far as I'm concerned, common sense for any good Hellene … or hell, any pagan. But maybe not. Neopaganism has this misconception that every path has earth worship in common. That they are all “earth-based” ( Read more... ) -
