Ani Was Writing

      So, just as a forewarning, things are shifting around for my online presence.      The full process will not be complete until 2027, but you may notice bits and pieces of it between now and then. I am trying my best to shift with as little chaos as possible, but some things will be obviously chaotic.      Just know I am finally doing this because of a calling I have felt for a while. A notion that has pulled me around long enough. Some of it will be easy, but a ton more will be difficult, especially toward December. So we'll see how it goes.     If you stick around, thank you. I could not appreciate it more. If you don't, please go with my fervent blessings.

      As you see on the title of this post, it is the end of a personal era for me. As of today, I'm not working two jobs anymore. I'm only working one.     I won't get into too many personal details. There is a lot that could give me away. But those of you who know the situation and are reading this, you know.     With that said, I can still take some time to share some of the lessons I have learned from working this job for multiple years. Corporate doesn't care. I know, obvious is obvious on that one. But the place I worked for... they were given a reputation of somehow being better than the normal corporate competition. Did they prove themselves wrong on multiple occasions during the time I worked there. For a company that seemed to state this to their customers on a regular basis and making it a selling point on their recruitment advertisements, this is a lie. They don't care. Not by any measurement. Employees are not important. The place I worked...

 Discerning Christian Witchcraft By Emyle D. Prata and Sara Raztresen     This book thoughts/book review will be a little different. Partly becomes of time, partly the contents.      In the beginning of this book, it is made clear that this particular read will take a lot more work than their previous work ( Discovering Christian Witchcraft , which you can check out my review for by clicking on that title). It's been a while since I've told you that I read that work fully (which I realized I was only three chapters in when I wrote that review) and it's opened my eyes to the community and the label for the journey I've been on for the last six-ish years, give or take a year. That book gave me the starting point to dig into some of the practices that I would take to some extent and use them.      Lately, my practice has been sporadic, to put it nicely. I don't work with my stuff as much as I did. But a lot of that has to do with other things go...

 4:Discussion   Gen tosses the marble up into the air and watches it land in Karan’s hand. She gives him an annoyed glare and snatches the marble out of his hand. “You still have me curious about how this little world feels familiar to you.”   “And you have yet to tell me how you got that out of Ani’s possession.” Karan mutters as he fiddles with a strange piece of equipment with many mechanical legs and an oblong body. “I don’t even know where she went.”   “Today is the Day of Reconciliation. She is probably in Peponi.” Gen rolls her eyes at the thought of Animus as she would wander around one of her favorite cities.   “Oh, right. I should probably take care of that at some point myself.” Karan keeps his head toward his work. “You are still dodging my inquiry.”   Gen glances down at Karan’s mess of a creation. “What is that thing supposed to do?”   “Gen.”   “Fine. I got the marble when Ani finished her conversation with Hani. It fell out of her l...
