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]

@aehdeschaine For groups, you could try @antiquidons and @histodons for recommendations of a bilingual Theogony edition.

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

Saying Hi to “The Neighbours” & the Gods over & over, for decades

Figuring out what the Holidays mean literally/practically in my bio-region

Balancing “Thinking metaphorically” (divination, spell-craft) w/ “NOT thinking metaphorically” (the world is v literally)

Doing religious ritual with other people

Taking in pagan theology, eco-philosophy, "animist fiction" (Miyazaki, Pratchett, Nicola Griffith)

Learning to pick up on the presence of Gods, Ancestors

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/
