Here you will find stories and articles relating to a particular path of spiritwork and devotional polytheism, that focuses on a set of unattested deities who are referred to here as the Wanderers. In legend, the Wanderers are a sort of “found pantheon”, along the lines of the found families of queer folks and other marginalized populations. These gods wandered from their pantheons of origin where they felt like they didn't fit, found support in each other, and together built a place and a tradition that could be a home for other lost and unusual folk.

The Wanderers come from no historical culture, and any specific allusions to other deities aren't intended as connection or appropriation; my experience of these gods is that they actively resist syncretization, wanting to be known on their own terms.

This has been the work of years, but is still, by its nature, personal gnosis. My interaction with and experience of these deities may not match anyone else's, and is not intended to be definitive. You may read what's here and find it inspirational, or absurd. You may take it as a set of cute stories, or as a basis for further personal exploration. I can only share what I've found.

1. Conflux ritual themes

   Fri 12 Dec 2025 00:08 ritual seasons

   Blazewing Eyrie (the place where I live with a few others) has been running events for over ten years now, for most of that time doing a full cycle of 8 rituals marking the solstices, equinoxes, and days between them. These were always meant to be community events, and they’ve gotten more “community” over time, with those of us at the Eyrie always looking for more ways to include more folks in the process, by offering speaking parts and having regular “Tributaries” meetings between rituails, where we discuss ideas and logistics for the upcoming ones. For 2026, We’re taking a big new step, inviting those folks who are interested to take on even bigger roles, crafting and performing the rituals themselves, with help from us rite-tenders to make sure everything is the best it can be.

2. Notes on energy play

   Thu 13 Nov 2025 22:25 practice

   There’s an activity I’ve seen in both pagan/occult circles and (my limited experience of) acting workshops that involves throwing around a ball that’s not physically there. In the acting context, this is treated as a work of imagination and collaboration, reaching each other’s body language and trying to move your own body in believable ways. In the woo context, it’s constructed as an exercise in feeling energy, tossing around a ball of concentrated energy, sometimes giving it a ‘flavor’ and trying to get an understanding of the flavor that someone else threw to you.

3. Wanderer's Day - Painter-in-Rust

   Sat 18 Oct 2025 13:15 calendar wanderers

   Earlier this year I did some divination to come up with a set of sort of "feast days" for my deities, as a way to break them out of the usual Fire of the Year cycle, make sure I celebrated them at other times, and generally have more excises to talk about them.

   Today is the day of the Painter-in-Rust.
