The People Have Spoken

The results of the poll are for more information on Filianism/Déanism and general witchery. I'm going to make some adjustments to blog posting schedule and topics.

Monday divination stuff is going to get grouped together with general witchcraft information. That daily topic will become focused on Filianism/Déanism. This will include discussion of research I am presently engaged in, theological quandaries, and exegesis of sacred texts. I will apologize in advance if my writing style on these topics tends towards somewhat dry. I am an academic by training on this front and it really shows up in my writing.

Tuseday's practical witchery is going to get more active and I'm going to give stuff like entry level Wicca knowledge and the basics of various forms of magical study priority here. Divination is a class of magical study that happens to be one of my favorite. It is not, however, the only one that I have studied. There will also be posts about historical witchcraft including reviews of books discussing historical matters and an assessment of the Malleus Maleficarum, one of the major texts used by witch hunters during the period of history of the Inquisition. (Side note: the Inquisition was never formally ended. It remains in a curious state of limbo.) Again, some of this stuff is going to be fact heavy and challenging to read. I will do my best to make it as entertaining as I can but there are going to be points where it simply won't be possible.

I am going to abandon the herbalism, treasures, and tools segment. If something interesting comes up, it will likely be posted in the practical witchery department. The Wednesday topic will be something random from week to week. It will also be the day that I post updates about books I'm working on and stuff like polls. It may also be the day that you get a little more of a personal post about how life has been going on the mundane front.

Thursday topics are going to be video posts and transcripts. Each month is going to have a theme to it. That month's theme will be announced the first post of the month. There will be other video posts going up with transcripts. The instructional videos will go with the topic of the day and the transcript will be in addition to any other things I have to say on the topic. I will also be posting some chants and prayers that I use in my daily devotions. I will apologize right now for the fact that my singing is not very well. It has been over a two decades since I really did any serious singing. Though I may not be terribly good at it any more, I will do my best to convey the music and such to you. Sadly, I don't have sheet music to share.

Fridays will remain days for recommendations. They will be for everything from products that work well for veiling purposes to witchery tools to books and the occasional recipe. I will invite you, my readers, to tell me what products you'd like me to review and if I can access them I will be happy to do so with a nod to your giving me the suggestion. Be prepared for a laundry list of divination tools being reviewed. I have a collection that I absolutely love and want to share with you.

Saturdays will be psychic life posts. Some of it may be about being a godspouse and mystic. Some of it may be about just the weirdness of my life as a psychic. (Like when I randomly told a stranger the color socks he was wearing in his combat boots because he annoyed me with his insisting I wasn't really psychic and his middle name, because his dead grandmother didn't approve of his harassing me.)

Sundays are going to feature a video and transcript. This is my stepping up to the plate as clergy. Consider it a homily of sorts, if you will. It is going to be addressing a wide range of topics and I will do my best to make sure it doesn't take up too much of your time. I will be referencing books in my library, which will be noted in the footnotes of the transcript. This bit of sermonizing is not because I have things to get off my chest but because the gods have given me a new task. If I have social questions and commentary, something like a letter to the editor sort of post, that will go up on Wednesday.

Some days may have multiple posts. Other days may have very short posts. I am in the early stages of getting back on my feet after serious illness and life challenges. I thank you for sticking with me this far. I hope that we can go much farther into the future together.
