The Challenges of Private Praxis (and how to overcome them)

In the wake of Manchester’s tragedy, we of Fyrnsidu stand in solidarity with all faiths. Violence against any religious community is an affront to wyrd and frið. We condemn hate and honour peace, holding fast to kinship, compassion, and the shared bonds of humanity.

The FDA statement ends with a paragraph undermining its own warning.

They signal parents to avoid acetaminophen. Except sometimes. And then:

No “causal relationship… established” with ADHD or autism

AND

Alternatives to acetaminophen have “well-documented adverse impacts.”

Many people trying to live an ancestral or reconstructed path (like Fyrnsidu) face challenges when community and private time are limited. Praxis doesn’t have to be big or public because it can liv…

I made an oath with hope,not for power,not for pride,but to steady a trembling hand,to ease a fearful night,to turn wrong into rightor at least try. Yet now my steps echo irony.I enter a room and h…

At The Heart Of It All

Beneath the streetlamps’ patient glow,I walk where shadows gather slow.The town still hums, its heart at rest,Yet I must guard at law’s behest.For every call, each watchful round,I tread on unconse…

Alone, I pour the mead,no circle gathered round,no answering voicesto catch the prayer I’ve loosed.The gods are distant fire,the wights a whispering hush,and yet my heart still callsas if the air m…

You let out one of your bored sighs. Well, lately, when I look into your eyes, I'm goin' down.

This song stuck with me through my whole life, ever since my parents played the Born in the USA album on cassette in our car when whenever we travelled in the 80's. Set me up for life!

Miserable? No, I prefer to think of it as incisive, shrewd, and brave. None of those of us who care about our fellow humans doubt that a great number of young women were abused in the very worst way by vile men in power. Continuing to call them on it is the very least we can do. Thank you.

Sadly, the police don't get to decide which organisations get proscribed, they are required to ensure the law is enforced.

Part One: The Body If anything about growing up in a Christian society taught me, it was that we all have fundamentally two parts: our bodies and our souls. Your body carries your soul around for X…

I think the shows I am doing in Edinburgh are my best yet - @standcomedyclub.bsky.social evening show usually full, afternoon show much quieter than usual - any spreading the word appreciated

'Neath the ash tree's whispering shade
Wōden walks, runes are laid
One eye lost to drink the deep
Wyrd and shadows coil and sleep

His ravens wheel in storm-tossed skies
Bearing secrets, carrying lies
Yet still the wind will not reveal
What truth Hygeferigend keeps concealed
