qosI've been promoted from "acolyte" to "novice."
Last night I was talking to Ereshkigal about which writing project I should embark on. I have a series of articles and non-fiction book ideas in my head, and had asked for help discerning which would be most fruitful to work on first.
She wants me to work on an article about her. When I asked why, the reasons included (but were not limited to) Her desire to be spoken of, remembered, brought more into public consciousness. My response was that I would certainly do as she advised, and acknowledged that it was only fitting, after all She has been doing for me, to honor her publically like that.
It was, according to her, an appropriate priestess response: wanting my work to honor my gods, not just win regard for myself, or serve solely my own needs. And then she said I was now a "novice."
