Good morning from Menace, who is chewing on my thumb. It's been a year now since she was rescued from an engine in a gas station parking lot and came to live with us, but she's still such a tiny thing.
Photo shows a young tabby cat sitting on the floor in front of a kitchen cupboard. Her head is tilted downward, her face scowly, as she gently—but annoyingly—chomps on my thumb.

Good morning from winter.

Good evening from sleepy kittens thinking about getting up and doing mischief.

Good afternoon from golden leaves and blue skies.
Photo shows the canopy of a large oak tree set against a brilliant blue sky. The tree's leaves are golden in color, tinged with brown, and practically glowing in the bright afternoon sun.

Good morning from misty mornings.

Good afternoon from the fading garden.

So this happened.👀

Her owner has been found and this very scared old girl is back home and warm.

There is never a dull moment over here, despite my best efforts. 😅
Photo shows Althaea sitting on the floor in front of a large bookcase. They wear an oatmeal sweater and have long dark messy hair and olive skin. In their lap sits an older shitzu dog. She is sweet and fluffy but clearly scared.

This will be a great discussion if you find yourself beginning a new relationship with a god or if you've found your relationship changing & you want an idea of what to expect if things go deeper or if maybe you need to hit the brakes.

Background image is the same. Black text within white box reads, “Every month, we focus on a different topic to help guide our discussions, spur introspection, and assist us in the active work of unpacking religious baggage and more deeply embracing animism and polytheism as worldviews. This work helps us to better understand ourselves, to grow deeper in relationship with the Gods, our ancestors, and the Land. And in doing this work together, we forge—and maintain—strong bonds as community.” Background image is the same. Black text within white box reads, “October Focus: Divine Relationships. This month our focus is on divine relationships. Together, we’ll be looking at the three types of relationships one can have with the Gods (casual, devotional, and dedicatory), what defines them, and what distinguishes them. We’ll also look at the personal impact of each type of relationship and what it might look like in one’s life, in terms of obligations, mutual expectations, and more.”

Graphic shows a pillar candle, burned low and almost to nothing. The flame burns small but warmly in a nest of melted wax walls, trying to hold back the shadows that encase the rest of the image. Over top this image is white text that reads, “Polytheist & Animist Support Group. October Focus: Divine Relationships. A peer support space for help navigating the challenges of holding these worldviews, unpacking religious baggage, and the less talked about aspects of devotion to the Gods. Held in The Winding Way Community. Join Us Friday, October 17. Link in Bio.” Background image is the same. Over top this image is a semi-transparent white box with black text inside of it. Text reads, “Polytheist & Animist Support Group. PASG is a peer support space focused on the deeper side of life as a polytheist and animist. It is a supportive environment for exploring the ‘what comes next’ part of embracing these worldviews and navigating the challenges that inevitably come up when you live in a society hostile to the worldview you hold.”

Good morning from this precious angel.
Photo shows a gorgeous and elderly black and white cat. She sits primly, tail curled around her body, head turned slightly to show off her amazing cheekbones. Her golden eyes are squinted the tiniest bit and looking directly at the camera.
