Fall Blog Challenge Day 5: Comic Book Character

  1. Sep. 26 If you were to create a comic book character that embodies your pagan practice what would they be like?
Hrm...

I think first of the characters I like.  Wonder Woman, Black Widow, Scarlet Witch.  You can add Isis in there from the Saturday morning show, "The Secrets of Isis."  I think what i liked most about her was how she talked TO and, as I would now come to call it, allow Isis to possess her.  She was a priestess of Isis before I even knew that was a thing, or had the vocabulary to talk about it. 

Wonder Woman was similar, at least in the TV show. The Greek Gods were real and Wonder Woman could talk to them.

The others are a bit more practical, and are not afraid to dip a toe into the 'forbidden worlds' if necessary.  

So my character would talk to gods and spirits, and would use whatever was available to her to accomplish her goal.

"I don't believe in Mercury Retrograde"

Photo by ZCH: https://www.pexels.com/photo/planet-mercury-in-full-shot-photography-12498795/ I know, people say that a lot...so... Okay firstly, retrograde is a real thing, astronomically.  You can find a more technical, but still accessible, explanation  here .  If you think about cars going around in several lanes of traffic, going the same speed and starting out parallel, eventually the the car in the shortest lane (usually the inside track) will get ahead of the car in the longer lane. It can  appear  then that as the first car passes the second, the second is actually going backwards.  If we think about planets in our solar system, they are all doing the same thing, and sometimes they pass each other. When Earth "passes" a planet during its orbit, that other planet is said to be retrograde.  Looking at them in the sky, the planet appears to move backward.    How often a planet becomes retrograde relative to Earth depends on not only its proximity to the Earth, but also

Imbolc is my favorite

  Okay, you're right. they're all my favorite.  But Imbolc is different! No, I really mean it.  Imbolc holds many memories of awesomeness on my path, as does my relationship with Brigid (or Bridhe or whichever other spelling you want.) When I first embarked on this path, it was because I wanted to be more familiar with the spirituality of my ancestors. my immediate ancestors were varieties of Christian (Evangelical, Catholic, or Methodist) but i wanted to go back further. One branch was Irish and since that was the cool white ethnicity i explored it. The others were varieties of German and English, which in my mind had historical baggage i didn't then want to engage with. So from the beginning, Bridhe was it.  even when I meandered into heathenry later (having made some peace with that ancestry) and even Vodoun for a bit, she was a constant.  I became a  flame keeper  (next shift February 11).  I made sure I had a fire pit at my new home, I have three shrines (two indoors a

June Solstice-a-Long Day 6: Child of Light (South)/Divine Champion (North)

Image
Good day! And welcome to Day 6 of the Three Cranes Grove Solstice-a-Long! There’s little doubt that the solstices are associated with spirits of great power, whether at their birth or their strength. We take this time to honor both of those. Northern hemisphere :   Honor of the divine hero or champion, defeater of dangerous wild powers of nature (Giants, Titans, for example), or brings about the much-needed skills and items to the folk. Southern hemisphere :   Child of light in many cultures (Angus mac Og, Mabon ap Modron), bringer of hope and light in the darkness. Light the previous candles and then light the sixth, placing the appropriate symbol and offering.
