“Religion is Psychotic” is Hateful, Dangerous Rhetoric I did not have much patience with it to begin with and given how much I have been subjected to in a number of social media feeds, I have no patience left with any kind of discourse around calling religion psychosis or mental illness. I am a Heathen, a member of a minority religion who already faces marginalization. The amount of misinformation and disinformation we have to fight on the religious front is bad enough without piling on bad science and rhetoric around mental health. https://sarenth.wordpress.com/2026/09/08/religion-is-psychotic-is-hateful-dangerous-rhetoric/

Decolonizing Heathenry in America My tongue is full of foreign words to Turtle Island. I speak little Ojibwe, Potawatomi. I did not grow up in any Native culture. I read the Sacred Stories of my culture and theirs. It was only recently I was told them. My language is as cobbled together as my mouth. Years of twisted wires and bending my pallette to make my teeth fit my jaws. https://sarenth.wordpress.com/2026/07/08/decolonizing-heathenry-in-america/

Praise to Óðinn You twist my guts Till I give in My howl shook my soul I begged and pleaded I offered my eye No, I won't be sold You paid for me In blood and bone In spirit and in flesh Put on me the collar quick Tight down to my neck You've bound wolves before I could feel it in your hands… https://sarenth.wordpress.com/2026/06/29/praise-to-odinn/
