I went back through the old posts to see what still holds true and what doesn't. So far, I have taken the Celtic names off the holidays and decided to stop keeping up with the actual astronomical dates in favor of a static list. I rarely celebrate the holidays anyway, and I am by no means a Celtic Reconstructionist Pagan or Wiccan. I still think the wheel of the year makes for a good holiday schedule, and if I feel the need to celebrate, I'll probably still use the Celtic names when inviting people to said celebrations or inviting myself to someone else's. Which brings up the question: What are YOU doing for Litha? If there is food and/or liquor involved, count me in.
Caedo's Model of Truth still works, but I am less comfortable than ever about my dippy label choices.
To summarize 2009-2010, I spent most of that time trying to define my belief system or dharma. I started out as a Mormon and have since browsed the basic tenets of various religions without finding any with which I want to identify. The animistic and spiritistic (yeah, that's totally not a word) systems, e.g. Shamanism, Voudou/Ifa, Shinto, and Kebatinan, are the ones that appeal to me the most. Buddhism and Hinduism are nice to visit, but I don't want to live there, as both are too philosophically confining for me. I'm sure that many Buddhists and Hindus would find that hard to believe, but that's what I think.
Somewhere along the way, life lost its magic. I abandoned Beauty, who had always been good to me, and instead shacked up with Truth, a spiteful whore who framed me for the deaths of Santa and Jesus and left me alone in a stark, cheerless universe with no way out.
Fuck this. I've had enough. Time to make my own magic.
