About Me & This Blog

Hello! Just a few introductory things...

 Who am I? I'm Jenna, a 26 year old woman from almost-Alberta, Canada. I am a Christian who believes that all spiritual paths, so long as they are life-giving, are good and valid. As much as I can be while not being "of colour," I am a womanist: to feminist as purple is to lavender. The struggle for justice is nearly always on my mind, filling much of my thought and action, especially during Lent. My major personal credo, which I try to let guide me, is adapted from the Bible: "You have been shown what is good. And what does the Holy require of you, but to seek justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with the Spirit?"

 I believe that rituals which give us encouragement, connection to the Sacred, and concrete ways to move forward in our lives are the most important aspect of the path to justice, so I'm starting this blog. I believe that rituals are for everyone, regardless of religious belief, which is why I'm challenging myself to create rituals which are meaningful but do not contain religious jargon. Please comment and let me know how I'm doing. :)

What am I assuming about you? I'm assuming that you have some connection, or wish for connection, to the Sacred. My personal definition of spirituality comes from The Barb Wire Collective: "Our spiritual lives are strong when we believe ourselves to be made in the Divine image, when we see ourselves mirrored in the Holy, and accept ourselves as loved unconditionally by that Creative Spirit." You'll see this pop up now and again, I'm sure. What is your definition of spirituality?

 Blessed be.
