Happy Epiphany Day! May all your creative endeavors blossom and may you not spontaneously combust. Epiphany is an Otherfaith spirit overseeing learning, creativity, and luck. She was originally a Book Keeper - a type of spirit who lives in the great Library of the West - and in an attempt to find the one single … Continue reading Epiphany Day 2015
Other Religion
Other religious stuff I do.
Personhood and Deities
Alternative title: What I'm blogging about for the Otherfaith this week that has me both confused and fascinated in turn. I've really become interested lately in this notion of personhood. What is it that makes a person? Who decides, and by what standards? And what implications does that have on those of us with religions … Continue reading Personhood and Deities
Anti-Gay Harrassment at Southern Virginia University Drives Away Student
A follow up about my friend from yesterday. I continue to be proud of him, celebrate his courage, and recommit myself to justice.

In my part of Virginia, the bounty at the local farmer’s market has started its height and the worst heat of the summer has started to wane. Daily summer thunderstorms, so common in July, have given way to gentler periods … Continue reading The Quickening of Autumn
Dealing with Death
I was expecting my first post after my return from New Jersey to be either tonight or tomorrow, detailing my adventures at the convention and any spiritual (or geeky) insights I'd attained from being around my own kind for three days. However, life had other plans as it often does and I've found myself dealing … Continue reading Dealing with Death
Religious Freedom and Unitarian Universalism, or Why I Am Also a UU Pagan
"I guess I chose UUism because I need to live in balance. I can do all those wonderful, earth-centered spiritual things: sing under the stars, drum for hours, create moving ceremonies for the changes of seasons or the passage of time in the lives of men and women. But I also need to be a … Continue reading Religious Freedom and Unitarian Universalism, or Why I Am Also a UU Pagan
