Big Introduction

Howdy folks! Uh, I guess this is as good a place as any to start off a blog and seeing as this is my first pagan blog I might as well do it properly.
I'm Icarus or Rain, really no preference there, use them interchangeably or as you see fit!
I'm 21 years old, I use he/they pronouns (but preferably he/him more often) and I live in Texas (I know it's unfortunate)
I've been openly practicing paganism since I was fourteen, I've been working with Dionysus for about that length of time, he's seen my entire transition journey, seen me start testosterone and break up with my boyfriend of four years.
I would say I consider myself a devotee for Lord Dionysus as I’ve worked with him for the longest and I have a greater relationship with him and understanding than I do with other deities.
Lady Athena came to me recently, as did Lord Thanatos, but we're still learning and growing and changing. Lord Zeus more recently, and I'll be documenting my journey with all four of them as often as I can :D
I would like to disclaim that while I do live in Texas, I most certainly am not a conservative, or a white supremacist, nor will I be allowing those things onto my blog. I have no way to police any of those things, but just know that you're not welcome to interact with me and I will be ignoring any attempts at doing so.
For the rest of you lovely people, I'm always open for chats and for making friends and in fact, I would LOVE to start conversations with y'all.
But furthermore, despite having been practicing for almost a decade, there are still quite a lot of things I don't know, or perhaps are doing wrong, despite my research. I am always looking to improve my practice so this will most likely be a lot of reposting informational posts and digital offerings, poetry and other such writings. If I have the ability to, I want to eventually compose music for the deities I work with and share it with y’all.

Anyway, that's me so far I believe. I'm happy to be here, and I'm happy to know all of you. The images used here are from pinterest, but if I ever find a proper banner I’ll be sure to share who made it <3
Fair winds and safe travels, friends
