Back with the UUs…probably?
So I went to church today. No, my faith didn’t change, but my interpretation of it did somewhat.
Longtime readers of this blog – all three of you 🙂 – will remember that I left the Unitarian Universalist Church in Tallahassee because they seemed overfond of the word “blessed” for my taste. I wasn’t convinced that my faith, Kemeticism, really involved that particular word. It sounded too Christian…

The 8th Principle of Unitarian Universalism
Borrowed with permission from Rev. Paula Cole-Jones. I’ve definitely been getting more into UUism lately. I’m joining groups and reading books, and I even volunteered to be my church’s Collecting Treasurer, a role I take over on July 1st. (Do I know what I’m doing? Heck, no. When has that ever stopped me?) One of the groups concerns promoting the 8th Principle and getting it passed in our…

Year of Rites: So far (now that the year’s almost over)
So I have wanted to post for a long time now, but my efforts in March required some extra thought. Anyway, here I am, finally.
Setup directly after the Full Moon/Propitiation Rite in January.
I posted way back in January that I was going to start doing Devo’s Making Ma’at 2k19 rites this year, in addition to the regular, so-called “Daily Rite” that I had been doing. I got a late start, missing the…

I am bi.
I’m leading a UU service on Kemeticism. Image via Pixabay. Hi, guys. Sorry I’ve been away – been doing things like having surgery on my driving foot, getting dumped off one of my meds, finding out we have a diabetic cat…It’s been a bit crazy. And because I thought I needed more crazy, I volunteered to lead a UU service on August 6th. Why did I do this? Well, our interim minister is leaving…

Reflections on the Unyear and Wep Ronpet 2022
It’s definitely been an Unyear. An image of clay pots. Source: unknown. This Unyear has been a little weird, but I guess a lot of them have for me. On July 20, I found out that I had been exposed to COVID so I got tested. Well, the COVID part of the test wasn’t actually run so I had to get retested, and eventually the results came back negative. I was also negative for RSV and both flu A and B,…

I didn’t expect them to be back to back. My shrine as it would have looked on January 20, 2024, when I was celebrating the anniversary of my encounter with Sekhmet. My shrine as it would have looked on January 23, 2024, when I was celebrating the 18th anniversary of my conversion to Kemeticism. January is a big month for me. I had my long, dark night of the soul, which resulted in Aset, Hathor…

Matt Dillahunty: “God’s a pr!ck”
Okay, those weren’t his words as I recall them, but let me explain all this. Screenshot of an Atheist Experience video with Matt Dillahunty (probably not the one with the quote). So as I’ve said before on this blog, my husband is an atheist. We both have YouTube running almost constantly on our TV (because we don’t have cable so we don’t have the Weather Channel [wah]). In my husband’s case, he…
