The below post is cut and pasted from my personal blog on the UK Pagan Community website. It refers to the following conversation thread http://thevalley.ukpagan.com/topic/85677-coincidence-or-not/page__st__30
Just been reading back one of the posts I wrote here earlier today. The one about ravens and whether or not they represent communication from Odin.
In it, I explain that I would apply a rational or mundane explanation for the presence of ravens on 99.9% of occasions, but just sometimes I will take them as what is, perhaps, best described as a warning.
My post ends with, "Not sure why I do this, but as it doesn't happen all the time, I doubt it is just the presence of ravens."
Thing is, I don't actually remember typing that last bit. That wasn't the message I was looking to put across. While it is not completely untrue, my point with the message was to be 'if something seems like it could be a natural occurrence, it probably is....'.
I suppose I should interpret this as my polytheist subconscious trying to express itself? My rational side might be atheist, but I'm a complex little blighter. Maybe I haven't been doing enough of late to properly sate that part of myself?
Pagan-Heathen blog centering on UK-based heathenry but also covering wider pagan issues and paths. The site's remit has now been broadened to cover European pre-Christian history and associated spirituality (historic and reconstructed). First and foremost, though, it is a journal of my journey along my pagan path which is gradually evolving toward an animist perspective. The aim is to promote a positive society inspired by the pre-Christian and non-capitalist cultures of the past.
