The Non-Difference of Deity Relating Terms

My Experience With Being Rejected By a Goddess

Soulmates, Telepathy, and The Most Unbelievable Experiences of My Magical Life

Planetary Worship, Theurgy, and True Love

In my post on my spiritual set up, I briefly mentioned that I work with the planetary spirits. Basically, what this means is that I have divine relationships with deities who go by the names and carry the traditional associations/domains of the Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn

Apollo, Aegis, and Lessons in Divine Relationships

The Spirituality of My Gender Awakening

I realized that I wasn't cis a week before my 31st birthday, which was exactly 6 months to the day I started writing this article. I now identify as an androgynous person, both male and female. On the most basic level, it is already difficult to carve out

My Spiritual Set Up and Jostling Your Prayers Out of a Rut

Recently, a friend asked me to talk out difficulties she had been having feeling stale in her daily prayer routine. She felt like it was time for a shake up. "The biggest thing I am trying to figure out is if this is something that can be fixed by
