polytheistic theology 

So it's a common trope that beliefs give gods power, but I don't actually think that's how it works. In significant part, "power" doesn't seem like a useful way to phrase what gods do in the first place.

What I do think is that belief helps give gods *form*. How a particular god manifests and expresses themself is due in part to what folks expect of them. It's bidirectional, since a god does tell followers some about who they are. The manifestation is negotiated.

Divination, woo 

Oh right, not only did Elanna draw Hagalaz last week, we also have some Mercury Retrograde going on. That'd explain quite a bit of the bad I've had the last few days. -.-

*eagerly awaits to see what the runemistress draws this week*

Hey Awoo + friends, i really need some help. Im very suddenly out of a job, struggling to find a new one/make money, and am halfway through a really important part of my transition.

I have AWFUL species dysphoria that causes enough distress that Im in therapy for it, and getting paw tattoos on my feet has been a huge step in relieving that. In order to afford the other half of my tattoo I need at least $150 to cushion the $300 cost. Paypal donations to chris@sgreig.com are honestly appreciated.

Used the office phone-booth room for an impromptu divination session. Seemed appropriate. :D

Also, stepped out on the balcony beforehand and gave an offering of some of my lunch into a flowerbed too, because reciprocity is important. ^.^

Dream last night: I was the first Selonian in Starfleet. 💜 to my subconscious for being an enormous furry nerd.

Well that was certainly a Result.

@indi it's not super set in stone, but it sounds like, yeah. folks you feel extra good about, even if it's not necessarily a crush or desire for a relationship.

I have had a dramatic increase in lovely cuddling and makeouts and such lately in my life. I think I may need to add a @makyo style "squish zone" to my polycule map. ;)

Still glowy from the ritual and cuddling last night, despite work doing its best to dampen it.

Also had an excellent dream abut Fully Automated Luxury Gay Space Communism, so that was great too. :D

OMGs, such a good equinox rite tonight. Thank you so much to everyone who came, and may you all find your balance and support where you need it. 💜🌊🌟

I acknowledge that 'all of the above' is a good answer. ;) (also maybe that's what number 3 means already. ;))

Okay so I've basically laid in bed all day after deciding need an extra day off work and could probably get away with it.

Not sure if it's because:
1) I really needed more rest?
2) executive function is hard?
3) I'm a plushie?

Trying to find wording to explain days off for seasonal ritual stuff is... fun. I think I've ended up saying "family event" and keeping the long explanation in my back pocket for any challenges (which I haven't gotten so far)

AAAA I'M SO HAPPY.

Cute boys smooching yes yes yes

👍👍👍 💯💯💯​

I had a lot of fun and it was surprisingly and wonderfully social for the short time I was here and I should probably try to go for more than just one full day next year.

I'm thinking I need to start putting 'not good at small talk' in my intro posts to things. ;)

Magic Masto Meta 

I'm looking at relocating my magic-based account and I'm looking for a new instance on which to host it. I know there's witches.town, but I'm wondering if there are others since I don't identify as a witch. Any suggestions? That's not a tag on joinmastodon or I'd go looking there.

Oh no. Warmed-up soda is good actually.

I had to drink diet pepsi at lunch because the diet coke was out. I don't usually like diet pepsi much at all but I was thirsty and needed caffiene.

As is my way I drank too many cups and started getting the chills.

As I was heading back to my desk with the last cup, thinking I would get a hot drink to warm back up, I saw the microwave and had a Horrible Idea.

And it was… good? Like, would drink again!

I am no longer chilly, but I am very confused. XD
