The Puyallup Fair has come… probably the most interesting or important thing that happens on this side of Washington lol. Andrew and I are going to go some time in the next couple weeks for a date ^_^… we’ll probably wind up spending the entire time at the bunny show! We are rabbit fanatics.
Other than that, not much going on- just a lot of work, doing a couple charms with/for my friends Amber and Vee. Havin’ good time ^_^. The rest of this …
*For the record: When I talk about beliefs and ideas, I am addressing spiritual and religious philosophies, not secular or universal beliefs. Meaning, I’m not talking about the way we disagree with capitol punishment, or taxes, or class systems.

Me and my moles… I adore these guardians of the subterranean world, not because of my long history with them and not because they are one of my most sacred guardians, but because of what they symbolize as the wisdom keepers of earthy mysteries. They move the earth with their splayed hands, pushing at soft soil, gnawing the wise earth worms, avoiding the light of day to focus on the energy of the ground. Few other beings are as attended to the subtle changes in the ground, or more aware of the great wealth of wisdom that lies there.

Folk magic, folk religion and folklore are some of the biggest influences on my path- hell, most of my path revolves around it. The studies of European folklore however is my main interest- and the large part of the reason I’ve been pursuing a bachelors in Anthropology with an emphasis on pre-christian european religion. When I began taking every single history, anthropology and religion class my school had to offer, I had it in mind that my goal, whenever I worked up …
