Here are three reasons why I am tired of hearing about space aliens. There is totally nothing about current events in this video. It’s just a fun video about cryptids.

Star of Inanna Crochet Pattern
In this video I show you how to crochet an ornament featuring Inanna’s most well-known symbol, Her 8-pointed star.
I also have the written pattern available for free on Ribblr.
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.
My Experience with Rod and Ring: Part 4 – Ascent
Join Me for the Kin Inanna Festival!
Kin Inanna was an ancient festival celebrated to honor Inanna in the city of Nippur, dating to the third dynasty of Ur. I’ve decided to do a series of public rituals for this festival as part of my ordination project. What better way to begin my pagan ministry work than with helping to revive an ancient celebration of Inanna! I hope this will be interesting to the Mesopotamian polytheist community and even people on other pagan paths.
I’m planning out a series of public (online) rituals to celebrate Kin Inanna. I’m thinking Thursday, September 19th for the first, either the 21st or 22nd for the second, and the 24th for the third. It will probably be around 7 or 7:30 pm on Facebook Live. I have to rehearse and put the finishing touches on my rituals to see how long I’ll need for set up and for the actual rituals. I’ll put up a Facebook event when I get it all sorted out in the next couple of days. I believe Live videos can be re-watched later, so if you wanted to participate, but can’t make it, you can still participate asynchronously (unless I mess up too bad and decide to remove it!)
My Experiences with Rod and Ring parts 1 and 2 (Threshold and Foundation)
I finally got around to making videos of my experiences with the Threshold and Foundation sections of Rod and Ring. These videos are pretty brief. I’ve already shared more about the Foundation rituals earlier in this blog. (I don’t think I did blog posts about Threshold. That might have been before I started writing openly about my spiritual explorations).
A Tour of My Personal Temple, E-Ama-Piring 𒂍𒂼𒊊
In this video, I show the different areas of my personal temple room and briefly explain some of my practices as a Mesopotamian polytheist.
How I Came to Paganism
One of my assignments for my Pagan Clergy Training class last week was a series of journal prompts. One of the questions, “How did you come to paganism?” ended up with me writing a lengthy several page answer, so I thought that would make a good video for my channel. I suspect a lot of pagans have similar long winding journeys that eventually brought them to their current spiritual paths.
My Experience with Rod and Ring – Part 3: Descent
I recently finished the third part of Descent in Rod and Ring and will be beginning Ascent this week! Here is a video I made talking about my experiences working through the Descent rituals. I’m planning on going back to do videos on the Foundation and Threshold sections, which I did before I started making videos. Hopefully before I finish the last parts of my initiation in September.
