Glad that Yumeka had fun while it lasted. Looks like he picked up a few skills, too. That’ll come in handy… Well, maybe not. I don’t know when I’ll defend myself with a Polish sabre, but it’s good to know the fundamentals nonetheless. He took good care of the body. Mmm. If only it were taller… But, well. Gift horses and pretty lips, right?
One last entry. Thanks, Yuuka-chan.

Yumeka, yoo-hoo~! I wrote in your diary. Not on purpose! He doesn’t seem to be here… Huh.

I was thinking about ancestor veneration and none of us really have any “lineages” or blood ties to look back to for inspiration or sentimental reasons. There are people who take joy and rediscovering a concealed heritage, but we don’t really care about that. And I think that’s fine, if we’re our own roots.

I wanted to find out what species of snail my “Shiva shell” pendant came from and instead I found out the whole thing was a fad that has its roots in the mid-2000s. Fantastic! (And I still didn’t find out what species mine came from… Perhaps Turbo castanea judging from the whorls and colour and pattern of the convex side? Humm…)

Diary entry about Doreimi. Today I realised that we devote 30 minutes each day to something that could be considered shamanic work.
2020.11.26
I published my notes on Zan-Shin but is it any good?! Oh well. It’s there now.
2020.11.24
I added a Key to the Sitemap, and a documentary on Korean shamanism, Summoning The Spirits: Life As A Shaman In Korea to the Links page. And a mundane entry, “A crooked lifepath”…
2020.11.23
Added Cottage of a Hedgewytch to the Practice links!
2020.11.22
Added my Affirmations and an essay on Shintou that I… I’m not sure why I wrote it? I don’t think anything in particular prompted it, I just felt like it. So it goes sometimes, right?

I was supposed to finish my page on my friendly friends but instead I found myself penning my thoughts on Louisa Watt the Hearth Witch’s conversion to Christianity. Especially since I couldn’t find anyone having commented on it yet. Anyway, bleeech! That’s not fun, let’s not deal with more born-against Christians. Oh, I finished my page on my Friendly Friends! Maybe other people will like reading about my family? I don’t know, but they’re important to me, and it was nice to make a page for them. Added a Sitemap.
2020.11.18
Added a couple sections: My Friends, Affirmations, and Mundane Thoughts. Link to Myself added to the Index (The Author). Also, Louisa Watt the Hearth Witch quit being a druid and became a born-again Christian? Laaaame. Shame too because so many of her videos were so informative!
2020.11.17
Reorganised the site! Music belongs in its own directory, added new CSS just for this page. I think I’ll definitely have CSS for each month! Number dates are informative, but dry. Wouldn’t it be nicer to tell what kind of season one wrote something was with texture and colour instead? Ah, and I finished the piece on the besom kami…
2020.11.16
Added the 2020 November to 
and a long first entry. Currently writing a piece on my old besoms, and the ceremony we held to migrate the kami to my new besoms.
2020.11.15
Added a general info page on communing with spirits! I’m going to make a whole site section with different pages about the spirits I work with later.
Also added links to Practice (Encyclopedia of Shinto), and Recommended Retailers (Altar Besoms by LunaDolceCreations, Mascherina, and Scheumack Broom Company). And a section for My Stuff.
2020.11.12
Starting to transcribe the contents of my physical books of shadows to the website.
2020.11.11
The site is coming together! I finished the cover (index?), and my first real page: “Tools of the Five Processes”.
