It is a time for the celebration of mother of all sort and of spiritual leadership. We pause in the austerity of Moura to look around and see the beauty left in the world and the wonders that remain despite Our Lady's journey into the Darkness. And we give thanks. This is by no means a bacchanal and a time of wild delight.

Dear Reader,I have a habit of keeping some manner of flowers on my altar as an offering. They're artificial flowers because as soon as flowers pop up in my garden they either get eaten by the deer or picked by the neighbors. And there's a good part of the year that snow just won't let them come up. Because I use artificial flowers, it meets the bloodless sacrifice requirement (it's a The Wifehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09581709023922591028noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6055572004903475027.post-14421151988040693222024-02-24T11:24:00.000-08:002024-02-24T11:24:25.354-08:00Moura rosary meditations.Picture from Pexels, Ksenia Chernaya, photographerDear Reader,It is the holy, yet mournful season of Moura.

To move through the different layers of Creation, she must take on different forms. Indeed, she must move through the whole of Creation to reach the Netherworld and where the Abyss of Khear awaits her.

Dear Reader,If you happen to have a copy of my incense recipe for Loki, throw it away and don't use it. In my ignorance, I included cinnamon which is toxic to burn.

Dear Reader,I have spent the last few weeks contemplating Dame Artemis (not to be confused with the Grecian goddess) and her role in the spiritual architecture of Filianism and Déanism. In my contemplation, I saw a connection between this lesser known Janya and the Wild Hunt of Germanic and Nordic paganism (which has been adopted into wider groups of pagan religions).
