Poetry Fails to Describe Your Beauty: the role of the initiator
A while back I asked Sarenth to write a post about various spiritual specialists and their roles as he sees it. Please see here. It’s an excellent overview post, and I reference it reasonably often. Which is funny, because I thought there was a role in there that isn’t. Initiator. Which I didn’t realize untilContinue reading “Poetry Fails to Describe Your Beauty: the role of the initiator”
The Ecstasy of the Imperfect
Recently I was inspired, in several ways, by a post from Atefwepwawet on the importance of acting despite imperfect knowledge. Please go read it, it’s phenomenal. With their permission, I’m responding and expounding here. So. Knowledge vs practice. It’s a complicated and complimentary duality, ideally with one leading to the other.

Welcome, New Year
Hello to you, 2024. I know we’ve only just met, but I have genuine hope for our relationship. I’ve known a number of your ancestors. Some better than others, and some of them I remember much more fondly than others. But, I am very glad to have known all of them. I hope I willContinue reading “Welcome, New Year”
The Sun Returns
As with all modern myth, indeed as with all myth, this story may strike you, in whole or in part. If it does, I am glad. Take what works, leave the rest. If nothing here moves you, well. That is how things go sometimes. Not all stories are meant for all people. This story is true for me in this timeContinue reading “The Sun Returns”
