I honestly didn't expect to keep the blog but with my situation changed and my footing on solid ground, I feel comfortable writing about it now. There were a lot of things that contributed to finally finding my path, including the infamous return to Christianity by a well-known Pagan blogger. I can't explain fully how that solidified my choices but it did.
At the time I was finding myself wooed and accepted by the Saxon/Norse gods, my son also found himself having the same experience. Almost identical, in fact. There were just too many coincidences, signs and portents and blatant interactions to ignore that this is where I belong. And where he belongs.
I plan on writing at least twice weekly...at least that's my goal. Maybe more if I can, but I'd rather have substance in my posts than just write to fill in the days of the week. I got a really nice camera for Christmas so I plan on more pictures as well. Especially my altar with the beautiful new statues on it. With Zach's permission I'll post pictures of his shrine as well.
I've discovered that ritual isn't necessarily something formal or fussy. And that my path is totally my own. I'm avoiding those places that don't represent the faces of the gods I worship and those people who think this is some kind of paramilitary religion.
After all, Ing is a god of peace.
Happy New Year to everyone and may it bring all the blessings you could hope for!
