An Interfaith Sermon on Environmental Justice and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

A sermon on unity through diversity, equity, and inclusion as it relates to environmental justice through the lens of divine pluralism.

Mesopotamian Artwork by Samuel David (Plus me rambling/infodumping about Pazuzu and Inanna)

I’m showing off some artwork I received from Samuel David (​⁠‪@rodandring‬) from his Sum(m)er of Giving raffle to raise money for The National Domestic Violence Hotline, The Trevor Project, NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness), Iraqi Children’s Foundation, and the Central Asian Institute. I also infodump/ramble about Mesopotamian polytheism, history, and my practices.

Inanna’s Descent as a Metaphor for Suicide and Depression

In this video I present an alternate interpretation of Inanna’s Descent, in which this myth could be read as a representation of suicide and the effects it has on loved ones left behind. This was a thought I had while meditating on this myth during Samhain.

Inanna as a Nature Goddess: Can We Cool Her Raging Heart?

A sermon about caring for the environment, and the goddess’ presence in natural phenomena. I was inspired by the ancient literary composition “Inanna and Ebih” by the High Priestess Enheduanna. I wrote this because I had to write and record a sermon for the pagan clergy training class I’m taking. I’m sure I would have made a video about this topic eventually anyway though, because it’s a topic that’s been on my mind a lot.
