Oh, what brought you here?

What is this?

This is Gloamspun Run, an unofficial blog for the promotion of The Gloaming Diaries, a fairytale ttrpg by Timor Jack Press.

What is The Gloaming Diaries?

The Gloaming Diaries is a tabletop roleplaying game (ttrpg) where you play as a gloamspun, a being born from the fusion of a human and a mythical creature known as a fae. Your human half came to the wilderness of the Wood seeking change, while your fae half fled the violence of an Eternal War in the realm of Faerie.

The Gloaming Diaries, or TGD for short, is suited for a small-town fantasy story, where you and fellow gloamspun navigate the challenges of a rural town while dealing with magic and mystery along the way. TGD has a unique system with flexible abilities and easy character customization, so you can play as any type of person or any type of fae.

Why should I play TGD?

I’m glad I voiced some of those things! I could get really deep into the appropriation and manipulation of non white cultures in Wicca/Neopaganism (they aren’t the same, I know, but they both have a tendency to steal) but at the end all be all of it people really just need to research what they’re worshipping, and make sure others aren’t hurt in the process- or if others are hurt by your community that you’re vocal about preventing it.

I know a lot of people (usually uneducated white people but there’s others who don’t know politics who do this too) think Hinduism and Buddhism are the peak of peaceful and pure religion without knowing or acknowledging that many Muslims are brutally beaten and murdered by Hindus and Buddhists.

Don’t forget that Shintoism was a big factor in Imperialist Japan’s violence and rape against other countries in WWII (as well as before and after- war criminals still hang in one of the biggest and most visited temples/shrines).

Wicca and Neopaganism (especially white Wicca and Neopaganism) can steal and profit from religions and cultures (usually native/indigenous as well as African) that are struggling and that have been brutalized historically and don’t consent to the theft and appropriation of their worship.

It’s not just these religions specifically-every single religion has caused and continues to cause suffering, death, and destruction- but these are the ones most prone to being washed as innocent or with negatives that aren’t talked about within circles that don’t directly experience these negatives.

I specifically said that every religion does bad things but that these were ones that I’ve seen where a lot of practitioners either ignore or don’t know about the harm they cause- esp when it’s people coming into a religion and specifically when it’s uneducated and unaware(usually white) people coming into a religion.

Things like you buying a dream catcher from a non native source or using sage in worship (a practice stemming from many different native religions) from a non native source and without native consent not only really hurts native economies and cultures - economies and cultures already brutalized by colonization, the government, racism, etc- but it can also destroy native environments. White Sage is a big example of this, where the rise of cleansing kits has lead to the illegal harvesting of it and it’s now shaky survival (not to mention that this plant is a keystone species and is linked to the survival of many other plants and animals).

The ability to acknowledge and talk about flaws in religion is a crucial one, especially when it deals with cultural appropriation and how that can degrade and destroy the cultures being stolen from. Maybe Wiccan and Pagan worshipers aren’t going out and killing Indigenous people, but the cycle of poverty is only spurred on by the destruction of and appropriation of culture which makes death slow and almost inevitable for both people and their cultures.

Also don’t use the excuse of “oh well we’re treated badly too” to try to deflect big and awful issues within your own community. Just because I’m a gay mixed kid from the south doesn’t mean I get to ignore ableism within the lgbt+ community because I got beat up for my identity or because some people won’t serve gay couples wedding cakes.

I talk about the maltreatment of Wiccans and Pagans a little here if you’re interested in that:
