Why a Newsletter and not a Blog?
* Major blog platforms are fairly fully enshittified.
* Self-hosting a blog is, for now, complicated by the massive DDOS being run by the chatbot platforms against every site on the 'net.
* I fancy the idea of dropping material about the saints in the run-up to their feast days - these holy days were in many cases probably originally the holy days of the gods themselves, after all.
* A Newsletter format might encourage me to post on a healthier schedule? IDK :)

Also: I'm writing a book about my findings on the Irish gods, heavily skewed towards my findings on the Saints. I'll be sharing sneak-peeks and also perhaps links to buy 'deep-dive' documents that might sometimes even be too long for a book chapter. If you like crunchy comparative mythology stuff with lots of nerdy footnotes, that's my writing style. Not sorry.
