So, in a post I made earlier this month I told you all about Izanagi and Izanami, and mentioned three other gods. This story is about one of them, specifically Amaterasu.

Mythology Monday: The Judgement Of Paris
It’s Monday, which means that it’s time to talk about mythology. This week, I shall tell you the tale of the Judgement of Paris, aka How The Trojan War Got Started.
Shut Up And Take My Money: Final Fantasy VIII Remastered
So, E3 is a thing that’s happening, and, as is their wont, game companies are making announcements at it. This news, however, has piqued my interest more than the rest.
See, it turns out that Final Fantasy VIII is not only going to be re-released for its 20th anniversary, it’s getting a full-on remaster.
Mythology Monday: How Cú Chulainn Got His Name
It’s that time of week again, and this week we’re going to take a look at a bit of Irish mythology. Specifically, I’m going to be talking about one of Ireland’s most well known cultural heroes, Cú Chulainn. More specifically, I’m going to be talking about how he came to be called Cu Chulainn in the first place.
Also, Cú Chulainn is not pronounced the way you think it is. Nothing in Irish is pronounced the way you think it is.
Tiers, and the changing thereof
Hello, friends!
You may have noticed that I’ve changed the tiers on my Patreon a little bit. I wasn’t particularly fond of the $5 tier, since nothing in it seemed all that great. With that, I decided to make post suggestions open to all patrons (well, all readers of the blog, really, but patrons get shot up to the front of the list). I also decided to offer a tangible reward for the second tier. Basically, that reward is that I will knit or crochet an item and send it to patrons who give $10/post or more. These would be smaller items, such as a hat, scarf, wrist warmers, or washcloths. Bigger items, such as blankets, would be a bit prohibitive in both cost of materials and shipping, unless it’s a small blanket for a baby or pet.
I’m thinking that this change makes things a little bit clearer, and would offer supporters a more tangible reward for their support.
Thanks, guys!
Mythology Monday: Izanagi and Izanami
Welcome back to Mythology Monday! This week we’re heading to Japan to talk about a couple of figures that are pretty important to the mythology over there: Izanagi and Izanami.
Mythology Monday-The Absolutely Insane Origins Of The Minotaur
Most people know what the Minotaur is: giant half-man half-bull creature, lived in a labyrinth, was eventually killed by Theseus. That’s not the story I want to talk about today, however. No, I want to talk about how the Minotaur came to be in the first place.
Strap in, folks, ‘cause this is gonna be a trip.
Mythology Monday-Sekhmet
Welcome back to Mythology Mondays! Today I shall relate the tale of the Egyptian goddess Sekhmet, or how beer saved the world.
Mythology Monday: Echo and Narcissus
Well, it’s that time of week again, where I talk about a myth or mythological figure I find interesting, or just plain funny. This week, we’re going to Ancient Greece, where I will tell you the story of Echo and Narcissus.
Mythology Monday: The Fortification of Asgard
I like mythology and folklore. I think they’re extremely interesting. So, in that regard, I have decided to embark on a new project: Mythology Mondays. Basically, either every or every other Monday I will make a post about a story or mythological figure that I hope folks will find interesting, or at least entertaining.
(Note: I am fully aware that this is going on the blog proper on a Tuesday, but I’m putting it up on the Patreon on a Monday, so I’m counting it).
To that end, I have decided to start with one of my favorite Norse tales: “The Fortification Of Asgard,” or, as I like to call it, “That One Time Loki Fucked A Horse.”
