Formal Execration: The Learning Curve
I figure I'll just post the link to my WP. I've been really bad about updating over here, because LJ seemingly no longer lets me go back more than 20 posts on my F-page... and the whole interface frustrates me anymore :3
But, here is this week's post: Formal Execration: The Learning Curve -
Working with the Fae

Building It Up
The last time I wrote about community, it was a bit of a disaster. And while I discussed our need for more community, I didn’t got into a lot of discussion about how to better the community around us. So I wanted to revisit the idea of community and how we can all work to make it stronger. How we can all build a boat and visit other islands.

Discernment
aka the “Sometimes a Cigar is just a Cigar” post.
Today I wanted to talk about discernment- that elusive thing that most all of us yearn for.

Devo Magix: Execrations
Most Kemetics know about execration, or at least, we know of them. Execrations are highly misunderstood within the Kemetic community, and in some ways, they are generally feared. I wanted to clear up some ideas about execrations, and how you can bring them into your practice- whether you’re Kemetic or not.
Execrations Then:

Flirting With Destruction
aka: Devo’s Guide to Working with Set and Other “Hard-nosed” Netjeru
Mandatory Disclaimer: As with everything, this guide is exactly that- a guide. Gods (especially trickster and chaos gods) can change rules at the drop of a hat, and my interactions with Set might not match your interactions with Set.

The Beauty of Pain
Right now, a lot of people that I know are in pain. They hurt. Their lives are falling apart. They’re scared. Lonely. Frightened. And for many, there appears to be no light at the end of the tunnel. A lot of the world is in pain.
Sometimes, the pain is our own creation. Sometimes it’s brought on us unjustly from outside sources. Sometimes it’s both ( Read more... ) -
Wep Ronpet 2012
This past weekend my household celebrated Wep Ronpet. Although KO’s calendar stated it would be on the third, for some reason, I kept thinking the fourth. So, I decided to just go with it. At least this way I’d be able to celebrate on the weekend, instead of while at work.
The day was filled with lots of cleaning. I cleaned my house from top to ( Read more... ) -
Devo Magix: Cleansings
I am doing a "Magix" Series of posts over on my WP blog. There are photos and stuff, and LJ gets grumpy with photos, so I think X-linking is the better option here.
Enjoy!

Wish Upon a Star - Tanabata
Today is the 7th day of the 7th month, otherwise known as Tanabata. This is often called the star festival, and it relates to wishes. According to Barrish-sensei, here is the back story to the festival:
Two stars, Weaver Princess Star and Herd Boy Star were in love. The Weaver Princess Star was very good at weaving, and her father was a heavenly ( Read more... )
