“Thirty Episodes of Spirituality”

Behold, my introduction to the world of religious blogging… and I have already decided on a meme to be the manner in which I introduce myself to you.

Really, the purpose of this blog is for me to take my ideas and put them to paper. I tend to find that I learn how I really feel about something when I am writing. So, if I am to blog about my religious beliefs, I will learn more about what I believe. This is how I choose to connect to my gods.

Sobeq, a member of my temple, took the thirty days of Paganism meme that was floating out there, and remixed it into “30 Episodes of Spirituality.” I’ve changed it a little further, as there are some things in her lineup that I can’t answer.

And so, subject to change, here is my own version! We’ll see how it goes, eh?
