• First Sight means that you can see what really is there, and Second Thoughts mean thinking about what you are thinking. And in Tiffany’s case, there were sometimes Third Thoughts and Fourth Thoughts, although these were quite difficult to manage and sometimes led her to walk into doors. Terry Pratchett

  • Someday I Will Be Doing Research Again
    Until that point apparently I will just pop in once a year or so and remind people that it is the Opet season, a time when we show civic support for our broader communities here at Peaceful Awakenings’ Take On Kemetic Social Values. If anyone wants to join me, The Emboatening Crew on Kiva is […]
  • Opet Again
    Just popping in to remind everyone that with the Opet season upon us again, the Emboatening Crew is still rolling to support Kiva loans. (My office renovations are going well if slowly, so who knows if that means I’ll get more work done when they’re done.)

    An update on my previous post: Cow of Gold will have a new home here when the maintainer has a chance to put up the site again (with some revisions, apparently).

  • Hills of the Horizon: The Past is Another Country

The evolution of a religion over time is not a predictable and easily comprehensible thing, where we can look at a point in time and say, "It was like this then, so it would be like that now."

Ember days, hidden ways
Mist-wrapped gate and holy gaze

Hunting horn, stolen corn,
To this struggle to be sworn

Red-tipped white, black as night
Chilling howl and deadly bite

Giving chase to famine’s face
Restore the harvest to its place

Stalker sly, battle high
Casting wealth towards the sky

Ember dark, sacred mark,
Closed the gate and hid the spark.

These are the old ways
The wolf ways
To go nowhere unarmed
To be with your back to the fire
To look into the dark.

To go into the dark
To face the enemies of life
And take back
What they have stolen
And give it
To the world.

Green and white, flowers’ dawn
Green and gold, the harvest cusp
Red and gold, shades’ wealth
Red and white, blood on the snow
