Check out my sweet favicon.

Anyone with a passion for Egypt/Kemet or historical research, please feel free to sign in and write up the history of a festival or two. It’s a wiki, it’s there for communal knowledge.

Abandoned project is abandoned? Nope! She-who-wears-red would never forgive me if I gave up that easily. After the jump, update on the progress of the KemCal.

Okay, so I’ve been working hard on this tonight. My plan is to make some form of interactive Kemetic calendar, so people like me can figure out what the heck days to book off work and get blitzed on food and booze. I’ll be releasing it as freeware, donations and gratuities thankfully accepted

Time to clean out my old drafts! I typed most of this post way back in December. Still relevant. I held back posting it because I wasn’t sure if I really had a message or if I was meandering about the topic. Note to self: turn on safesearch when looking for “overweight wiccans.”

As a son of Sekhmet, people often ask me if I’m going to curse them with Her divine wrath for pissing me off. Okay, that’s a lie. Nobody has asked me that yet. Nobody ever asks me the cool questions. But it’s a great lead-in to what I’m going to talk about.

Now, it’s important to note that not all Pagans do metaphysical work (aka “magic,” or “magick” if you’re a pretentious twat). Likewise, not all metaphysical practitioners (hereafter referred to as “witches”) are necessarily Pagan. I have met Agnostics, Atheists and even a devout Christian who not only believed in but actively practiced metaphysics. In fact, the Christian was the first one who actually identified my, ah, tendency toward psychic vampirism. (More on that later maybe. I’m going was talking about psy-vamps on PCP in February.)

So, I’d like to take a minute, just sit right there, and I’ll tell you how I became comfortable with the idea of the left-hand path.

Wanna see something funny? Search twitter for “#christmas is #pagan”. go ahead, I’ll wait.
Neat huh? It’s almost a meme. And yes, you learn a lot about the roots of certain traditions. But you also learn a lot about self-righteous pagans who love pissing off Christians for no good reason.

Listen here.

Granted I only subscribe to 2 podcasts… but still. Favorite podcast, plus me! This week’s subject: Otherkin.

The Nine Satanic Sins is an excerpt from The Satanic Bible, by Anton LaVey (1987). LaVey was a huckster, out to make a buck off stupid people, but making a buck off stupid people is actually perfectly acceptable within Satanism. It’s amusing, because he charged for acceptance into the church and issued member cards, then allegedly privately laughed at the people who paid, since it was like making Christians pay to worship Yahweh – it doesn’t make sense.

There’s a lot of laughs to be had studying or talking to Satanists. Earn their respect and you’ll have a great friend. The most wonderful thing I’ve learned is the Nine Satanic Sins. You’ll see as I list them, these are not evil ideas. They are awesome ones, and not just within the satanic theme of “me first.” More »

…at least for now.

Am I the only one who loved that random quote in Chrono Trigger? they retranslated for the DS and it’s different now.

So, we’ve gone over my youth and how I left the Church, we’ve touched upon my Wiccan and Eclectic periods, And I’ve related my recent epiphany at finding Sekhmet standing right behind me the whole time. And I promised to elaborate on Her and what She means to me. This could get long, but bear with me. More »

Alright, I’ve covered my long religious past. Now you all know roughly where I was at the beginning of this year. It’s certainly not where I am now.

To recap, and addendum: As of the beginning of this year, I was an ex-Christian ex-agnostic lapsed Wiccan. I was a lot like those Christians who never go to church and never really sit down to pray but still believe in the Jesus. Nothing wrong with that, but nother really right with it either. More »

I spent the end of High School and the beginning of University as a man of Science. I decided that the Supernatural and I could peacefully go our separate ways. While I accepted the possibility of God, I did not worship or acknowledge it.

I also entered what could only be described as a cycle of depression and boredom.
