A "meanwhile" kind of newsletter

Pre-S: You've only got until Sunday, May 4 to sign up for my May classes through the Fellowship of Fire and Ice! You can register here.

Thank you so much to everyone who took my audience survey last week! I'm so thankful for the thoughtful answers people gave for my questions. I'm still processing the things I've learned, but I wanted to let you know just how much I appreciate all of you.

It's given me some exciting new ideas, and I'm diligently working on those behind the scenes but am not quite ready to make any announcements about them yet. But that will be coming soon.

Overall, it was validating to see that the primary places that y'all like keeping in touch with me these days are BlueSky and Discord, because those are the two places that I enjoy hanging out in the most. I will still keep an Instagram but update it sparingly - and with all the AI scraping Meta is doing, I'll be careful what stuff I put there of substance.

As for paid rewards, people really love the Community Supported Magic which I'm already doing! As for new rewards that folks were interested in, most people were really interested in a nonfiction book club, so I'm going to be starting one in June! More details on that soon.

Coming Up In May: Introductory Classes

I'm so excited to be back and teaching classes on Heathenry through the Fellowship of Fire and Ice! Class starts next week and I'm SO thrilled!

I'm also very honored to be among this group of teachers. There are some other incredible classes that are still open for registration, including Intro to Nordic Ritual with Ryan Smith, Intro to Nordic Magic and Mysticism with Raven Rissy, and Fundamentals of Utiseta with Raven Rissy. Registration is open until two days before the class is scheduled to start.

Intro to Norse Paganism Tuesdays May 6 - 27 6pm PST, 8pm CST This course is a good introduction to Norse Paganism more generally. We will cover what makes heathenry distinct from other forms of paganism, some of the basic tenets and beliefs of heathenry, and move gently into this spiritual world.

Intro to Elder Futhark Wednesdays May 7 - 28 6pm PST, 8pm CST This is a four week introduction to the Elder Futhark. We'll cover some of the history of the Elder Futhark, how the alphabet developed, why we can use it for divination, and cover some of the basic meanings of the runes.

I'll have more updates and even an essay for you soon, but I think that's all for now. I must run and continue to work on my classes.

See you next week!
