Pagans (in a general sense) often: Dismiss the Wheel of the Year, despite the fact that it makes logical sense, dismiss the 'triple goddess' despite there actually being triple goddesses in the matronae, go bananas over incorporating astrology and tarot and mis-using runes into their practice.

Now I have one of those irritating energy crashes similar to the one that plagued me last week when I was intending to sort out clothes. I had a bad night the other night and was like a zombie all yesterday and I thought that I'd shaken it off, but nope! I've got some small embroidery pictures to put up around the place so I might do those instead, after watching an episode of Channel 5's All Creatures - the new -
Today, I am going to be sorting out some of my craft stuff as it looks like the autumn weather is coming early this year - I put quite a lot of it into the garage over the summer to make room in the back room where I want to keep my hobby stuff but the season has caught up with me. The garage gets too damp over winter to store items there and I worry that it will cause them to become mouldy if they are kept in there

Usually, September is a continuation of the summer but that hasn't been the case this year.
I'll be adding these videos to the Nehalennia site at some point.

I have known Musk to be problematic, and thought that a few years ago, he was just an egotistical twit who just happened to have a lot of money, now I'm starting to consider him to be a dangerous individual who is more of a danger than Trump because his shenanigans have started to have a detrimental impact in other countries. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cx2ymd32g2eo (and it takes a lot for me to consider -

US political dramas are a fantasy... and I dislike them because they lie to the viewer that the US is a bastion of social justice and environmentalism when it's the opposite.

I've almost finished The Last Graduate... The series as a whole is one that is entertaining enough to keep reading, but I don't think it qualifies as one of those series that I would like to re-read at some point, so I am glad that I got them at low cost/free from the library. One phenomenon that I have encountered recently are subscription boxes where you get special editions of fantasy books, which, tbh, I don't

think are worth it. What is the point of having a book that costs around £30/$30 or more, which is only just readable but meh when there are many other books around that are more worthy of the special edition treatment? (Tolkien doesn't count for this since his publishers are very good at keeping his books in circulation, but there are many other authors I wished that I had a collector's edition for, but wasn't able

to get it as they were too expensive, or sold out by the time I realized that there was one. But my main issue with these subscription boxes is not the book itself, because I am sure that there will be some readers out there who love the books, but more on the fact that you are buying them without knowing what you are getting and that the

choice of theme/sub-genre of the books they do is quite limited - apart from Subterranean Press, alot of these companies avoid male authors and high fantasy and concentrate on narrow themes while marketing themselves by saying that they cover all the genre.

(Sub Press don't do subscription boxes, but just do special editions, just to make that clear... I should have chosen my words more carefully.)
I have not seen anyone within the Heathen community bring this up, so I suppose I will. I've avoided Gaiman's book, Norse Mythology, simply because as a fiction author, they don't always differentiate between their 'head canon' and what has been found in the original sagas, Eddas, and archeological discoveries and present their 'head canon' as fact. As his books are popular due to the TV series American Gods, it's
I decided that a page of references was better than listing them in the margin, as it has gotten quite long now. (There are some books and articles that I've collected which I've yet to link to as I've not had time to look through them all yet - I've been in the info collecting stage for the site.)
