Golden Glow: Living Life as Devotion
Jan. 20th, 2025 10:29 amGolden Glow: Devotional Heathen-ish Poetry & Creative Writing
Over and again I meet them, the gods that came knocking when I was young.
Over and again I find myself returning.
Over and again I find myself at Her altar, Her names as sweet as honey on my tongue.
But... I whisper... What do you want from me?
Her smile, a warmth across my chest.
Your work is my work. I am present, and honoured, wherever beauty is cultivated, where my magic is woven, where my people learn their worth, where Love grows.
I am reminded of Valiente's famous line:
"All acts of love and pleasure are my rituals."
The lightness in my heart tells me that Freyja agrees.

A statement: Because of the history of Heathenry, and the current day divided state of the world, wherever I find new Heathen resources I find myself checking for some sign that this will be a safe place for me and my kin, so here is one for those looking. I am a neurodivergent, queer, pagan, witch with ties to Heathen gods. I strive to keep my space and work safe for LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, disabled, and otherwise marginalised folk. This is my space, if you can't play nice, then you're not welcome here.
