#giftlist

My name is Ovi, Erin, or Ghoul, whichever you prefer I'll answer to either. I am an adult, so this blog has adult themes and swearing. Just how the dice fall I'm afraid. I'm Bipolar. I've had psychotic symptoms in the past. I am medicated. If you feel like asking anything, I'm pretty open about it.

I am a Hellenic Polytheist, with many many many different interests and devotions.

Here is a list of the deities I worship/work with:

Greek Pantheon -

Thanatos, Hypnos, Prometheus, Dionysus, Ariadne, Ares, Hermes, Hades, Persephone, and Hekate.

Extension: Hero Worship

Tiresias

Norse Pantheon -

Freyja, Loki

Celtic Pantheon -

Brigid

Mesopotamian Pantheon -

Tiamat

Inanna

Egyptian Pantheon -

Thoth

Ars Goetia -

Stolas

Buer

Asmodeus

Luciferian (Lucifer)

Yes, I know it's a lot, but these are all deities who have inspired or reached out to me and honestly, it just makes sense. Most of them are chaotic beings and that's usually how my life works.

Some other facts about me are that I am queer, genderfluid, and have a lovely wife. I'm also a witch! A Southern Witch specifically.

That's about it. I think. I'm pretty open to discussions, so feel free to drop an ask.

And! I've made a gift registry if anyone wants to buy me books.

As I explained last year, legendary sports editor for the Wheeling News-Register, Bill Van Horne, used to release a holiday-spirited “Gift List” at this time of year that included many folks in the valley’s sports world during the decades of his decorated career. Athletes. Coaches. Athletic directors. Civic leaders. Community leaders.

Van Horne's listings became a tradition that was enjoyed by everyone who read them, so, in his honor, I posted one of my own. And yes, I have heard from some of the people on my List, but not from every individual included.

For example, did the City of Wheeling's Michelle Rejonis get her rare pair of high heels, or has someone given Gene Fahey a Taylor Swift jersey? I. Don't. KNow. (Margo!).

So, here it is again - for everyone to check The List twice - so I'll know how to go about it this year. I mean, I don't want to offer anyone more Elvis tributes, free beers, and field goals if those below have been bestowed already.

So, let's make sure!
