Wisdom Saw Inanna (Good Friday)

2017-04-15T22:04:21Z

Wisdom saw Inanna descend into the Pit
and suffer there on tinderhooks.
The elevation of souls was not to be won in brave assault.
Instead, when Wisdom's turn came, She hid
inside a mortal form, humble and much changed in shape -
suffered
died
and was buried.
Only within the realm of the dead
did She reveal Herself another Queen of Heaven,
come to carry off souls meant to rise.
Come into the light, you who have suffered;
Come into the light, poor innocents unmourned;
To me, to my arms, victims of injustice;
To my embrace, seekers left behind in the dark.
All who will come, come to me:
I will carry any ancestor to any hall that awaits them, or to my own if they have no other,
Just as I have carried down truth to any mind that seeks it,
For I am Wisdom.
Come to me, beloved ones,
And on the third day we will rise.

In which she has a curious

...So, did I ever import the old lj posts over here for continuity, or did I just start afresh here? And what about the Domus Doli and One More Altmer accounts? Do I even want to bother moving those, when DD is now a book rather than a webcomic and OMA is fanfics I'm not sure any new people are still going to read? Decisions, decisions. And effort. I hate effort.

ETA: I just started afresh. Ugh. Do I want to deal with the horror of moving shit over, do you think? I have a personal archive, but I'm not sure it would upload to here. Pleh.

Where I been at

Right, so for them as weren't on facebook, a quick synopsis of my times there. Let's see. Was Episcopalian; wandered away over growing concern over my church's failure to intersect (the common "nice>=good" problem); was briefly progressive Catholic; bad at getting up and driving that far; am now doing more of a private-relationship-with-Jesus-and-Co thing that also includes most of my old posse, because I am a complicated multivalent confusing beastie.

Marriage is fine. Kiddo is now legally female, and yes, she's *thrilled* to see what the new regime has in store for her. Me too! For which reason I have been inundating my fb feed with news and inspirationals and calls to action. But fb is starting to get twitchy about them, so yay. Have started a few spiritual projects along these lines as well, which I will probably talk about later.

Did you know about the new third cat? Our new third cat is Max, a tuxedo. She is ridiculously social, bright, and possibly a spoiled brat and troublemaker. She reduces T to a cute-talking muppet.

Finished making Domus Doli into a novel and am currently shopping for a publisher and trying to learn to do all the marketing crap. Or that's what I was doing before apocalypse-prepping took over, anyway.

Let's try that again

...Okay. NOW. Gentlepersons, this is Estara, and I am looking at coming back to DW because FB is becoming more and more censor hell and my peeps are looking for options.

If, perchance, you actually still came around here looking for stuffs in the fanfic archive, it has now been moved to its own account, onemorealtmer. (Oh gods, I bet the internal links are a nightmare now. Not going to think about it. Y'all can just click around in its archives and find things the hard way for a while, all right?)

Give a holler if you see me.
