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. Wanderer's Day - Player-With-Light

   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 Player-with-Light!

2. Book Review - Elements of Magic

   Mon 09 Jun 2025 22:35 review

   Elements of Magic is a book that I read on a whim, since I saw it on Kindle Unlimited (as many if not most Llewellyn books seem to be these days) when I was looking for a new pagan book to read. I’ve seen a lot of value in elemental work, and I’ve been curious about the Reclaiming tradition for a while, so it seemed like a good one to delve into. I’m glad I did; even though the book was certainly entry-level and not a perfect fit for my own practice, I still found helpful tidbits that made it worth the read.

3. What is “energy”?

   It’s hard to read any discussion of magic in a pagan context without seeing someone talk about “energy.” Raising energy, sending energy, feeling energy. The metaphor is so common as to almost feel cliché, which certainly shows that it’s useful to some people. But ever since I first saw a magic tutorial talk about “energy,” I’ve never quite been able to stop thinking about what it really means.
