Hedningarna - SkanetiredTonight Josie and I went out and held our Midsummer blessing. We went to Strouds originally...and oh my...the woods were so freakin dark under the canopy. The moonlight just bounced off the thick fog and the air was totally thick with spiritual energy. But....I saw a sign that said "park closes at 11" and knowing how much people in Ohio love to try to get people

Sarah McLachlan - Adiaawake and not much elseIt's kinda been a decisive few days....As many of you probably know, Nicole lost her job. Yep, it's official. Our lease ends here at Riverbog at the end of this month and we're going back to stay at her place. I promised her I'd stick it out with her and that's what I'm gonna try to do. What about me, you ask? I won't lie, it's gonna be tough. Josie

Pearl Jam - OncedisgustedWhen I was first convinced to take up cosplay as a hobby, the impression I got from Nicole about conventions - and cosplay itself - was that it was a hobby embraced mostly by fairly open minded, unprejudiced people.

Candlebox - 10,000 HorsesannoyedJosie and I went to the library and spent a few hours tonight doing research on whatever. Josie was all over the place, but I was sticking specifically with conversion of Pagan Scandanavian countries - specifically Norway - to Christianity.

Alice In Chains - Would?anguishedThere's some belief in Asatru in a higher self - a "god self" almost - a being that is the ultimate core of who you are no matter what your physical body looks or acts like. This is a part of Asatru belief that I have validated with my own observations, at least of myself.My observations: I have a gythia (higher self, also the word used for "godwoman"), and I

Bowling For Soup - 1985wondering why I'm awakeFirst thing: In the last month I've gotten more new readers than I ever thought I'd have - or would know what do to with. A few of those are becoming pretty awesome friends, and the rest, I hope, readers that will stick around.Gods, I can't think this morning. *shakes fog off*Anyway, there was a point...oh, yeah. A lot of you have mentioned to me

I'm a drama magnet.This weekend is Acen, and one or two of my cosplay buds aren't gonna end up going....(Loki-sama and Rameana....you two better be reachable!!)

Alice In Chains - Got Me WrongthoughtfulMichelle's post on family kind of provoked this entry by getting me thinking about what position I've taken on the whole situation. Speaking of Michelle, she is helping me out in a HUGE way and I can't possibly thank her enough. Thank you, MIchelle....I'll think of some way to repay you!Recently I've been confronting the whole family situation too (

Youjeen - SomedayinspiredThis weekend I discovered a good way to describe transition. Friday night, I told two of my old, old friends from high school - Lee and Scott - that I never "became" anything. I woke up. I slept through childhood and adolescence, but when I was ready to face the world, I woke up.For me, transition was an awakening. It was kind of a spiritual discovery that prompted

Stone Temple Pilots - Sex Type Thingthoughtful againBack when I first decided to transition, I was reading Melanie Anne Phillips (that was before Authentikate, so it was all we had back in those days) and she was talking about female privilege and how women interact.

We've been planning this for a while but I'm just now thinking to talk about it (and I hope she doesn't mind me mentioning it). There's at least one other Asatruar coming to Athens (an
