Intro

-
Greetings and welcome to my new spiritual blog home.  I'm Trish Deneen, the former editor for the Pagan site at BellaOnline.com - The Voice of Women.  I have two main reasons for creating this blog.  The first is as a place to post my thoughts on different aspects of spirituality.  I expect it for the most part to take more of a personal diary tone but one which may find like minds who find value in it.

I have found over the years that I despise labels, and I no longer try to define myself in those terms.  This is a place to explore my spiritual evolution.  Some of the older articles I post are likely to be glimpses of a point in time rather than represent my current practices or beliefs which don't necessarily follow any particular party line as far as Pagans or Christians are concerned.  I've always seemed to live my life in the mid way.  I can stand in a circle and see many points therein, but I still stand in my own place.  I hope my writings will inspire or give solace to those who are as tired of labels and dogmatists as I am.

Prayer to Tyr

A prayer to Tyr in this dark time. Image Credit: Trish Deneen A prayer to Tyr, a god I've been more and more drawn to the last few months in my personal practice.  Image text reads: Hail Tyr, enemy of chaos. You who sacrificed a part of yourself to stave off destruction. Warder of true justice and those weary among us less capable of the fight. Balance keeper, honorable warrior. I praise you for your gift of being the boundary between us and defeat. Hail Tyr! Prayer to Tyr © 2020 by Trish Deneen is licensed under CC BY-NC-ND 4.0

Credit: Parent Géry, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons I've created a new meditation video for my Northland Hearth channel in support of my article at Hubpages titled, Crystals for Grounding and Healing the Root Chakra . My goal is to add more audio and video media to my existing blog posts and articles across the web, as well as create new written content and support it with videos. This will include a range from what some might consider "woo" to hard polytheist journeys. Why should AI have all the fun, eh? I hope you enjoy.
