Digging into books, annotating articles, sweeping through websites and finding videos or photography of people’s beliefs across Europe and the world is fascinating to me. Russia might have been my gateway into Slavic studies, but I admit nowadays that I want to know more about the lands and cultures that shaped my family and what small beliefs have been passed down through generations to me.
Read MoreSo first in the line of my new series I mentioned previously, I thought it would be a good idea to put a small piece together first about general vetting procedures, processes, and just how I over-archingly handle information. Because, outside of specific books, articles, and online stuff, there are some good general rules of […]
Read MoreI once again apologize for the lack of consistent posting. This last month I’ve been trying to figure out what I wanted to do and what I wanted to post. It’s been a rough ride over 1 year into quarantine/work from home for me. The sameness has been rather draining, so I was struggling to […]
Read MoreYesterday was “Veles’ Day”, so to say. I ended up having some major stuff come up over the weekend prior, and I had some fairly major dental work done over the last week and a second appointment yesterday. All in all, not conducive to major workings or preparation. That means, I didn’t do anything major […]

There’s been a few times before I’ve made mention of the “fraught” relationship between Perun and Veles–arguably the Head of the Pantheon and the God of the Underworld (yes, might as well play into the whole atmosphere that people play up to with writing about these gods for this post). How supposedly they constantly battle […]

I read this book a while back (probably about 5 years ago), but then never really wrote up anything about it. It was during a time where I was just skim reading a lot of books, and so it was never really in the forefront of my imagination or mind at the time. But, as […]
Read MoreSometimes inspiration strikes in weird ways. You get into a rut and you just kind of coast along…going with the flow without doing anything new or different. You just glide along, following what you’ve always done and just, well stagnate. That’s a good way to put it. And that’s what I’ve admittedly been stuck in. […]
Read MoreThe wheel turns, time spins on. And once again I have to write about my least favorite topic. See previous entry here. There’s a pretty good introduction in it to my feelings on racism in Rodnovery and the general topic, since it’s come up throughout the years. Since I posted that particular entry, it’s become […]

And nope, I don’t mean that in the standard form of the “Wheel of the Year” with the 8 high days (Beltane, Mabon, Lughnasad, Samhain, etc etc). Because that’s just always felt weird & arbitrary to me. I don’t follow the “holidays” that everyone goes on about. They just don’t suit me. And I don’t […]
Read MoreI know that technically it is spring, but the weather has been bordering on bitter cold–more like winter than spring. The cold is not my favorite thing, but at least wintertime makes for a good opportunity for me to wear multiple layers. So I can stay warm during the bitter cold that winter brings. This […]
