how strange (original post)

Portrait of my wife

"Tell me you're not considering it," she asks, staring down the stairwell with a frown. "Considering what?" She glances back at me. "Considering doing what she wants." It's a plea. Open and honest and raw. "I'll find a way to make this right. Just don't…." She almost hunches with the emotion that punctuates each word. "Don't leave me."

The craft a practitioner builds is the natural expression of the relationship they have with magic. Building, refining and exploring that is an ongoing process that no one ever really "finishes". It doesn't have to look any certain way. It just is. Craftbuilding isn't a starting place or a finish line; it's just part of the process.

this is the most concisely and accurately i’ve heard my view of the gods worded. the names and mythologies are an access point to a greater, broader power, separated and defined only by human culture and not through inherent or tangible boundaries. when i pray to Zeus-Helios i believe i am tapping into the power of the All-Father, the Maintainer of Reality, He who Gives Rise to All, specifically through one cultures’ refinement. He exists infinitely in other cultures, i just choose to worship Him in this specific way. when i worship Selene, i’m flowing down a river that leads to one source, the Moon, in which a wide variety of other rivers also flow into. hellenic polytheism is how i chose to process and interact with these forces!
