The ad hoc ritual space at the beginning of the ritual. There's a passage in Marinus' Life of Proclus, the hagiography in honor of Proclus' life, that really struck me because it made me nostalgic for lunar rituals when I first read it, and often near the full moon, I'll remember it because it was … Continue reading Honoring the Moon

Acts of Speech Is Out
Acts of Speech is now out and in the wild in e-format. The print is a bit delayed due to the pandemic, although I now have a UPS tracking number for proofs, which is a serious improvement over my previous lack of knowledge regarding where the print version was in the printing process. Tracking numbers … Continue reading Acts of Speech Is Out
Some more on my monthly divination approach
Apart from the community-oriented divination that I've started to do every three months, I ask other kinds of questions during my divination routine every month. Here's a bit more about my approach (namely, the types of questions and some rationale), followed by a concrete example.

Happy Equinox!
Today is the autumnal equinox in my hemisphere, so it is officially time for mulled beverages, cozy sweaters, and autumn hiking. I made offerings to Persephone, the Horai, Helios, and Sulis this morning in honor of the occasion — pomegranate and sandalwood. My shrine, with offerings burning down for the equinox. My partner and I … Continue reading Happy Equinox!
Shifts and Changes
At the beginning of September, I was very restless, which for me can only be settled by organizing things in the world around me.

You can read an earlier post for information about my planning process, as this post (mostly) contains images that display the end results of my process. Not all of my bullet journal pages are here — just the ones that seemed the most relevant to KALLISTI. The … Continue reading A Bullet Journal Follow-Up

Speech and Silence
I had a nightmare last week that I'd been cursed, twice. The first time, the counter-work fixed it. The second, Yoyo woke me up before I was able to do anything, crawling up to me on the bed to lie by my side as if I would forget her breakfast if she wasn't the first … Continue reading Speech and Silence
