elise_rashaJust call me the quadruple-fisted reader, my friends!
I'm still slowly making my way through Freya Aswynn's Runes and Feminine Powers: Northern Mysteries and Magick. I've gotten to the part about using runes for magic-casting, but haven't proceeded much further. It's mainly because I don't get back to my mother's house until late, and I'm a bit too tired to read. Fun fact about me: Reading doesn't put me to sleep. It actually winds me up and makes sleep difficult.
I've also taken to reading The Elder Futhark by Edred Thorsson.
Now you may ask why am I reading Pagan literature? Aside from the fact that I have declared myself as a Pagan (Lokean Odinist, to be precise), I have taken to writing heavily about the Norse pantheon. I've taken to looking over books and websites to learn more to spark the imagination. I've found that the Norse gods are an interesting lot, and I will be continuing to learn as much about them as I can.
I'm also delving into chakra healing. I know. Hippie dippie for some, peace and love and all that, but those are not bad messages to spread, either. I find my day runs much smoother when people are kind and smiling than aggravated and scowling.
Finally, well, Lovegrove won me over with The Age of Odin. I've purchased two more books in his Pantheon series, The Age of Zeus and The Age of Shiva. It's wonderful to pick up a series and not feel totally lost as to what's going on as he's not connected any of them. Each aspect lives and thrives in its own little world.
Who can not like that?
