Last fall, after Hecate and the Morrigan came forward during a tarot reading, according to the priestess working with me, I had my first personal encounters with the Morrigan. The experiences were prefigured by ones with Hecate over Samhain, but through the full moon on 12-12-2019, the solstice and Yule, and by the first new …

Meeting Hecate
In a post which I hope will be continued later, I want to document here my first intimations intimacy with the deity I believe to be Hecate. A few days ago I had an encounter that I believe now was her. I had watched some episodes of The Kominsky Method, in which Lisa Edelstein appears …
Atonement
Surfing the internet to learn about deity and polytheism, I often come across pagan postings that make snide remarks about Christians. One I saw earlier today seemed pretty clever as D. Jason cooper commented in an interview about “ossified Christian Churches who demand moral obedience and then molest your children.” Vitriol aside, it seems to …
Connecting with Isis
The Goddess Isis flew over the earth and gathered the dismembered pieces of her husband Osiris, becoming an image of restoration and resurrection. She is a goddess of healing and abundance, but has a dark side–I believe–associated with obsidian stone. Isis is also associated with magic. She made a deal with Ra to know his …
Experiencing Loki
Drawing a card from the Mystical Shaman Oracle Deck with incense lit for Loki. I believe I had also placed on the altar an offering of chocolate or coffee for Loki. I had done some reading about the experiences of one of his priests on A Polytheistic Life website. The crow, like Loki, can bring hard …
Tarot Reading on My Worship
Asking about my current worship of deity, I recently drew three tarot cards and was surprised by the aptness of the spread: The 8 of Cups typically speaks of a journey that leaves old feelings, a disillusionment and movement away from the watery mists of the marsh and the moonshine that may seem eclipsed. I …
Encountering Odin
I recently added a blog post and a few YouTube videos to my website called “A Blended Path.” The additions summarized a few UPG experiences I have had with Odin, waking up feeling vibrations, seeing some signs, and receiving a message through a priestess. (I just recently learned that the acronym UPG stands for “Unverified …
Soft Polytheism
I just now read a blog post claiming the term “soft polytheism” is useless because it is often associated with the human psychology or Jungian archetypes or adopted by secular atheists who dub themselves “Humanistic Pagans.” https://hellenicfaith.com/2017/11/27/hard-polytheism-and-soft-polytheism-a-non-distinction/ . Although the rant was very articulate and even helpful as food for thought, in the end the …
Experiencing Freya
I sacrificed myself to myself. — Odin. NOTE: 2024 UPDATE TO THIS POST AT END This is my first journey into WordPress and I am not sure where to start. I already posted some material on another site that I called “A Blended Path” ( https://ablendedpath.weebly.com/ ), some writings and videos to act as “bread …
About Myself
This introduction comes from a website I started called “A Blended Path” ( http://ablendedpath.weebly.com/ ), which was designed to help me chart the journey I found myself on, a journey that did not seem to have many fellow travelers: I was raised by an atheist father and Unitarian mother and, so I sometimes say I …
