Ereshkigal Devotional
Oct. 30th, 2009 06:40 amIt's only been during the last few weeks that I've begun to realize just how significantly my grief over LM has had an impact on things like my priestess training and my work (or, more properly lack of work) on the Ereshkigal devotional. Now that the pain and the gray veil have lifted almost entirely, I can see how much energy it took to grieve and to just keep going.
Since
sannion has stepped down from his leadership positions in Neos Alexandrina, I'm working with a new editor. I was worried that it would be hard to work with someone new, but so far he's been great. Filling him in on my status brought this project back to the center of my attention, and I asked him if he could help me set a series of short-term goals to bring this to completion. I'd feel bad about not asking Sannion for this assistance earlier, but I don't think it would have done any good. Ironically, I had to climb out of the underworld before I could put in the serious work on the devotional to the Queen of the Underworld. Call it my graduate thesis. ;-)
Or maybe not a wink. Maybe that's exactly what it's supposed to be. Maybe, aside from my own energy issues, I needed to experience the whole cycle myself before I could bring the project to fruition.
Jeremy is concerned that I don't have enough material yet, so here's one more call to you or anyone you know to share poems, fiction, rituals, personal experiences and prayers honoring The Queen of the Great Below.
