Blessed Hypatia Day to You

I Just Keep Telling Myself

So a couple of transwomen got turned away from a Dianic ritual at PantheaCon. Head on over to the Wild Hunt Blog to find out more. It seems Z. Budapest made a comment on the incident (which she was not at) here’s the quote:

“This struggle has been going since the Women’s Mysteries first appeared. These individuals selfishly never think about the following: if women allow men to be incorporated into Dianic Mysteries,What will women own on their own? Nothing! Again! Transies who attack us only care about themselves. We women need our own culture, our own resourcing, our own traditions. You can tell these are men, They don’t care if women loose the Only tradition reclaimed after much research and practice ,the Dianic Tradition. Men simply want in. its their will. How dare us women not let them in and give away the ONLY spiritual home we have! Men want to worship the Goddess? Why not put in the WORK and create your own trads. The order of ATTIS for example,(dormant since the 4rth century) used to be for trans gendered people, also the castrata, men who castrated themselves to be more like the Goddess. Why are we the ONLY tradition… Continue reading

Horned God Devotional

We got a sneak peek at the Table of Contents for the Devotional today! Check it out here.

To wet your appetite and make you run out to buy it when it comes out, here is (a slightly different version of) the essay I contributed.  There’s also a photo, a ritual and a poem of mine in the Devotional. I had started a “Very Brief History Of” but it got a little long and out of hand and then life got in the way. I am still working on that piece though, off and on. Someday I might just finish it! Anyways … I’m sure the Devotional will be amazing, just look at the contributors! I can’t wait!

I lay scattered in the abyss

Surrounded by a bleak

And terrifying nothingness

The creatures I had trusted

Who naively I had followed
Have torn me apart

And left me in a mess

The shock and horror

Their betrayal

The pain of my dismemberment
Fills my being and all that I am

And then suddenly is forgotten
As I begin to contemplate the blackness
And the fact that though torn asunder
I am still capable of self and thought
I realize that… Continue reading

Project Check In

I figure its time to check in on my progress with various projects that I have been working on.

My shawl is nearing completion. I have crocheted enough rounds to form the shawl itself and now just need enough for the deep hood I want on it. Then I have to put them all together. It is a riotous mix of spring and autumn colours, which I plan to bring together with shades of brown. My friend Lis suggests this might make it look like a meadow. I’ve already posted about the shawl once before and will again as it gets closer to being finished.

The great big afghan I have been crocheting for the last year is up to some 115 rounds (give or take), I need about 150 before I can start piecing it together.

My learning to play the tambourine continues. Read about my choice of instrument here and see pictures of her here.I know how to hold it in a couple of different positions and the different ways to strike it. Now it’s all about practicing to gain skill and develop rhythm. Tap tap tap tap tap … ONE two three four One two three… Continue reading
