Apart from the Crowd
A conversation I've been having with Galina Krasskova in the comments section of my "Choice" post inspired me to expand on some of these thoughts here (well, that and waking up at 3am to write down a bunch of notes that suddenly came pouring into my head - it's rare for me to have this happen over a blog post, so I figured I couldn't avoid writing and posting this).
If you don't read any other posts this week, read this one by Dver. It very eloquently summarizes many of the thoughts I've been having (and talking about with Jo) recently regarding the younger people who have been coming to me, especially during the past six months or so, asking if they are meant to be a godspouse, or a god-girlfriend (for lack of a better word), or a sacred queen. Especially pay attention to the last paragraph and ask yourself, in addition: "Is my primary relationship with my gods and spirits, or with the people I'm talking to online about Them?" This is something well worth pondering, and asking it of yourself from time to time can help keep you on track, can assist you in "keeping it real" (as they say). This post is also trying to spark a post from me on examining the labels we apply to ourselves (especially in the wake of my having realized, after ten years of denying it vehemently, that I really AM a godatheow), but my brain and body are both wiped out from seidhr and I haven't had a real evening of rest since, so it probably won't happen tonight.
I loved her post. Thanks for linking to it <3
