Changing Paths challenge day 25: books š
I love reading books. I love writing books. I love talking about books. I love having a to-be-read pile. I love rereading books that I have enjoyed.
A book is a little world and its characters are mirrors you can hold up, and try identifying with them to make sense of who you are.
Changing Paths challenge day 24: Music
I love music, especially any piece where the artist really put their soul into it. This is often the case with the music of oppressed, displaced, and marginalized peoples.
I have very diverse tastes in music but some of my favourite genres are Cajun, klezmer, zydeco, blues, baroque, medieval and renaissance music, and protest songs.
I have recently been listening to Palestinian music and it is beautiful. Check out this list of Palestinian artists by Christina Hazboun from 2021.
Changing Paths challenge day 23: Festivals
I love Pagan festivals and I am very glad that thereās one every six weeks or so, as it takes the pressure off of Yule. If you only celebrate Yule and Easter (and Thanksgiving in North America), thereās so much pressure to get it right and have a good time. But with Pagan festivals, if Yule doesnāt go so well or isnāt your thing, thereās another festival coming soon.
