This is a modification of an Election Prayer I wrote 8 years ago to present in a pre-election interfaith service. I believe we need it again now: Elhaz – Manaz – Tiwaz – Jera Call we now the children of … Continue reading →

Blank Page (Post-Hidey Ramblings)

I’ve been staring at the screen for a few minutes, listening to my Samhain playlist, and wondering what I should write about. There’s plenty of dust ups and politics that I could write about, but I feel like I’ve said all I really need to say about things. I mean, how many times can I […]

Our Satan
by Antinoë Magdalene • • 0 Comments
His Infernal Majesty who reigns in hell
accursed is your name.
Your adversity come, our wills be one
with yours here on this Earth.
Give us the means to divine our needs
and to present challenge to those
who would dare challenge us.
Lead us forth into reason,
and guide us from naïveté.
For thine are the margins, and the logic,
and the shadows, for ever and ever.
After being schooled in my own arrogance last week, I think I have a better version now.
His Infernal Majesty who reigns in hell
accursed is your name.
Your adversity come, your will be one
with ours here on this Earth.
Give us the means to divine our needs
and present challenge to us
as we challenge others.
Lead us forth into reason,
and guide us from naïveté.
For thine are the margins, and the logic,
and the shadows, for ever and ever.

A Prayer to Antinoüs for the Victims of Pulse in Orlando, FL
by Antinoë Magdalene • • 0 Comments
Antinoüs,
your majesty, what happened? Why don’t they leave us alone? Why is
that when we express our loves in the same ways they do, they react
with revulsion and contempt? Why do they say we should be executed.
Why do some actually carry out these acts?
I know, Antinoüs
the Liberator, there are not any acceptable answers to my questions.
That this should happen during Pride month, reinforces the need for
our Pride events even as those events show to our would-be destroyers
where we can be found.
Antinoüs
the Healer, you and I both know that not all wounds heal. Grief can
be one such type of wound. And, I don’t want to heal. Not from
this, and not from the yearly repeating griefs of the Transgender Day
of Remembrance. If I heal from them, scar tissue will form over these
hurts and I could become desensitized to these horrors. Do lot let my
heart be hardened. Instead, let it soften. Let it be permeable to
these horrors. Give me the strength to absorb these acts of naked
terror so that I may be an agent of change and hope for those under
the Rainbow.
Ave, Antinoüs,
sovereign of the Beloved Dead!

5th Week of Lent: Into the Last Phase
by Gina Pond • • 0 Comments
I’ve just realized that I’m over halfway done with my Lenten working. On Tuesday I started the Jesus part of my working, and so far it’s been good. What I’m realizing, though, is that Jesus and I don’t know each other quite as well as we used to. What I mean by that is that […]

1st Week of Lent: Religious Life (or I want to be a Monk!)
by Gina Pond • • 0 Comments
Most people know that I’m doing a Lenten working for my deities (Hecate, The Dagda, and Jesus). It ended up being a pretty hardcore (for me) disciplined working that is similar to how the nuns that I stayed with a couple of years ago for my Immersion Course structured their lives and prayer time. Before […]

Reblogging: Confirmation of the Tetrad++ 2015
by Antinoë Magdalene • • 0 Comments
I first encountered the Tetrad (Panpsyche, Panhyle, Paneros, Pancrates) at PantheaCon 2013. Since then, two more deities have been added, Paneris and Panprosdexia, to create the Tetrad++. Confirmation of the Tetrad++ 2015 As P. Sufenas Virius Lupus says: Hail and Thanks to you, Antinous, first father of the Tetrad++! Hail and thanks to you, the […]
