[Long post warning 
Iāll try to condense it where I can so that you can read the full thing if you want, but you donāt have to

TLDR: I've been SUPER busy. If you want to see more details, you can expand and read a bit about what I've been up to.
Itās been FOREVER since Iāve had much free time, so Iāve been working in different elements of my personal Craft where I can. Unfortunately, I tend to be someone whoās a glutton for punishment when it comes to anything that has to do with learning, and Iāve been making it harder and harder on myself.
On top of going back to school to study judicial court reporting, I am continuing working through the Introductory Herbalism course through Herbal Academy that I talked about in a previous post. I also decided to REALLY treat myself by signing up for the Alchemical Herbalism course through The School of Evolutionary Herbalism. (Iāll hopefully have time to write up a review for the Herbal Academyās Introductory Herbalism Course when Iām on winter break from classes!) But I digress
I also started taking an āintro to Judaismā course through a nearby-ish synagogue AND signed up for another discussion group at that same synagogue that covers the 613 mitzvot (commandments) that Jews follow (to varying degrees).
What I popped in here to say is that Iāve been continuing my work with Hekate and Hestia. I donāt really feel comfortable sharing too much about my work with them because itās gotten to the point where it feels much deeper and much more personal than when I wrote about it previously. I will say, however, that I give offerings to them, light candles for them, and ask them for guidance/support.
Starting to explore Judaism again.
In addition to working with Hestia and Hekate (and occasionally others), Iāve been starting to get back in touch with my interest in Judaism by, again, very personal methods and study, including the classes I mentioned above. TLDR: I was raised in a vaguely āChristianā household, but Christianity never felt right to me. When I learned that Judaism was a thing (I grew up VERY sheltered!), I developed a yearning in my soul to explore it.
As strange as it probably sounds to anyone with any knowledge of Jewish theology/philosophy/etc., I have found a way to honor the God of the Abrahamic faiths and to continue working with Hestia, Hekate, et. al. Having limited free time to do any deity work, Iāve had to find ways to get the most out of that precious time. Having less time has forced me to put in more energy and effort to honor and work with my deities, but I have grown more in even just the past few weeks alone than I did in the past few years combined.
Reading back through this post, I realized that it sounds kind of snarky with how Iām saying that I donāt want to go into too much detail about my personal work with deities. I didnāt intend it to sound that way, but I just didnāt want to publicly share too much detail. If youāre wanting to hear more about it or anything, please feel free to message me and Iāll be happy to talk about it
