Rather than posting Notes and thus participating in and contributing to the lamentable Twixification of Substack, I am going to follow Laeth’s lead, and periodically (sporadically?) send out shorter musings and meditations on the thoughts and feelings that are occupying my mind and heart at the moment.
A World Full of Gods: An Inquiry into Polytheism by John Michael Greer, made me realize despite my own experience of the Trinity as ultimate, intellectually I can only defensibly say I practice monolatry. Greer’s point that pushed me there was his argument was yes you met something very big, very ultimate, but it could be just little you encountering something much greater than you. He is not a perennialist however
Love this :). The fact that bees have been having problems lately and have been declining seems worthwhile to think about after your apt quote! Needed that reminder today.

Love this so much.
Might be something present for you in 'Deseret'
