    One of my recurring projects as a pagan for the past year or so has been taking a Tarot deck, choosing a deity I want to establish a working relationship with, and then using that deck to check in with them in daily readings. I draw 3 cards a day and keep notes on which cards I&amp;#39;ve seen, and I&amp;#39;m done with that deck when every card has appeared at least once (takes ~4-6 months). At the moment, I&amp;#39;m working with the Morrígan, and her primary message to me has been, essential...

    As of today, I&amp;#39;m back to writing on Substack. This post is on the value of animism and reconnection with nature as antidotes to the central problems of the modern world. I feel pretty good about how it came out, and hopefully this is the start of a more sustainable rhythm of writing these essays again after I totally burned myself out on it last year. https://chickendruid.substack.com/p/returning-to-animism-in-times-of #animism #collapse

    Today I delivered my first Fiverr order. It was a sample line edit for someone I&amp;#39;m hopeful will also hire me to edit their full manuscript. Honestly, this came a lot sooner than I expected to; I was prepared to get zero work on Fiverr for months while I built up a reputation through other avenues, but the first order came within less than three weeks of the gigs launching. Hopeful that that&amp;#39;s a good sign of what&amp;#39;s to come!

    I had a bunch of time-sensitive tasks I had been putting off last week and it had me so stressed (especially as the most time-consuming one absolutely needed to get done today) that this morning I just woke up, sleep deprived from stress nightmares, sat down at the computer, and knocked out my entire to do list in one unbroken 6-hour binge of sitting in front of a screen. (Grateful to my partner for at bringing me breakfast in that span of time, and lunch afterward.) The net result is I&#39;m r...

    We are deep in a drought at the moment, and after the storm I&#39;d been praying for finally came, we got an honest-to-gods double rainbow. I&#39;ve never seen one before, and honestly I can&#39;t remember the last time I saw a rainbow in real life at all.

    Hi all, I&#39;m returning to Mastodon after a year or so away and have migrated from mastodon.social to pagan.plus, so time for an #introduction post. I&#39;m a Celtic pagan and a devotee of Áine, and also just a general ecology and religion nerd. I&#39;m a therapist, getting started as a fiction editor, and I occasionally write about collapse and systems thinking on Substack. Also a big fan of chickens. I&#39;m a fairly shy and socially anxious person so I&#39;ve always had a hard time gettin...
