Classicists, mythology fans, and others, I've been trying to read and/or round out my collection. I really prefer bilingual works, not simply translations. Is Loeb consistently my best bet? Are there other recommendations? Should I decide work by work?

Current work under consideration is Hesiod's Theogony, but the questions stand more generally, too.

[Feel free to tag in a Classics group if there is one]

Welp, finally finished my Big Think on the role of "digital media" in polytheist and animist art: https://rotwork.wordpress.com/2023/09/10/on-fossil-media/

Which practices have contributed the most to your personal spiritual growth?

For me, it's the following:

  • Setting aside time each day for prayer, the reading of sacred texts, and contemplation

  • Sticking to a consistent meditation schedule

  • Researching the works of theologians, mystics, and skeptics alike

  • Keeping a journal of all of my spiritual questions, concerns, wishes, and experiences

  • Letting signs and synchronicities inspire me, but letting discernment guide my actions.

  • Embracing the ecstatic and confounding nature of the Mysteries with wonder and love

Here are some servers that I love:

pagan.plus: My home Mastodon/Hometown server! Our admin is fantastic and communicative, and he really cares about the safety of everyone in the community. There's 0 tolerance for any kind of bigotry here, and kindness/respect are highly emphasized. Plus it's filled with all kinds of awesome pagan folk!

the.occultist.space: A brand new occult-oriented Calckey server. Even though only a few people have joined so far, it seems like a promising space. Some trolls from a different server tried to harass me when I first joined, and the admin was very quick to respond and put a stop to it. The admin seems dedicated to making a safe server for all folks and isn't afraid to admit and fix mistakes.

weirdo.network: While I'm not a member of this Mastodon server, I follow a bunch of people from it. It's a paranormal/high strangeness server! Lots of cool stuff gets posted here.
