grace_and_juneExciting ruminations! Witchcraft! Changes to my polytheistic practice! Whoo! And woo in general!
---
I've been mulling over my relative lack of poem-writing these few years, but more and more I think of my poem-writing days as being the products of being given a gift with which to survive what I was stuck in the middle of--a way to stay sane in the midst of transitional chaos, and as a way to put to bed the grief of not having what others did. Something to believe in myself with. I recognise this and fill myself with gratitude for being given a gift, even if temporary.
This is one of the ruminations I've had on part of being what I think is a stage of being handed over to different spiritual authorities than those I started out my polytheistic practice with. I recognise and honour the gifts I have received from the gods I grew up with, and anticipate a new road going forward in my practice and belief system. Turning to face the sun, rather than looking down at myself trapped by my circumstances. It's a fresh feeling. I have a better feel for what's ahead and what's to come, which is always nice.

Re: witchcraft--all of my stuff is in my home country! I live with people who are uncomfortable with witchcraftery! What do I do?? I'm thinking of exploring covert practice with as minimal a need for instruments and a permanent set-up--it'd be a good way to capitalise my current circumstances to try and keep practicing without drawing too much attention.
That's all for now!
