So I ended up starting to read a Werewolf the Apocalypse novel and I'm realizing... This is like already more spiritually fulfilling than like 95% of the pagan books I've read in the past couple years.

I forgot how much that cosmology is (weirdly enough) my comfy-place, very very foundational for me. It's the thing that slotted right into the head of a proto-furry who grew up hearing animism-informed myths and just... took root.

I was just doing some newsgroup digging and I'm reasonably sure I got turned on to Werewolf in the first place by a post about a moon phase calculator on alt.lifestyle.furry.

Which led to me looking mine up then eagerly heading to the bookstore to find out what it means.

(Ragabash, BTW. I will pause for a moment for everyone's surprise to die down)

The aforementioned moon-phase calcuator, if anyone is curious: tycho.usno.navy.mil/vphase.htm

Words cannot express how thrilled I am that that page is still there after *20 YEARS*

@indi ... gah. It's waning, sorry. Still, same basic idea.
