It’s about the challenge

Bydruidinthecity September 8, 2012November 6, 2022

So it looks like I’m done with work travel for a little bit .. at least for the insane amounts of travel that I’ve been doing lately (4 weeks of travel in the last 6 weeks).

To celebrate the “Yay I’m home” I’m going to attempt a couple of challenges. I noticed these challenges this weekend and they happen to go along with what I was planning on doing *anyway* so hopefully these challenges will help me to get a bit of motivation 🙂

Back to School Pagan Reading Challenge

I’ve got a bunch of books that are on my “list of stuff to read!” so I’m going to use this challenge to help out with that. I’m not sure I can get through more than one book as we do have a “big thing” going on at work this week, but I’m going to try to finish one book! My book of choice is The Triumph of the Moon: A History of Modern Pagan Witchcraft by Ronald Hutton

Fall into Fitness Challenge

After all the travel and not paying attention to what I’m eating, I’m at my highest weight in a long time .. so time to do something about that! In the Fall into Fitness Challenge, we are challenged to have goals for each of the elements.
My goals are:

Earth: Lose weight! Get back down to my usual weight (not going to mention it here =P )
Air: Breathe! Find a way through exercise or medicine to make my sinuses behave better
Fire: Exercise, move! Do something significant for exercise (more than just strolling down the street) at least twice a week!
Water: Drink more water! At least 3 of my 24oz water bottles a day
Spirit: Daily practice! Do a least one round of sun salutations during my daily practice 5x a week

Book Review: Geekomancy

Bydruidinthecity February 11, 2014

Overall I enjoyed the book. The writing isn’t particularly amazing, but the characters are interesting and kept me engaged while the story wove its way through my geek memories. If you’re not a geek I’m not sure how much this will appeal; but for geeks who wish they could wield a lightsaber this is a…

Review: Hounded – Iron Druid Chronicles Book 1

Bydruidinthecity March 8, 2014

Hounded is definitely in the range of popcorn reading for me. The author does a great job of blending just enough “real” mythology with new and modern twists to keep you interested. The characters are well written, showing flashes of their true identity while trying to blend into the modern world. There are very few…

Review: Visions of Vanaheim

Bydruidinthecity September 1, 2014

This is the 2nd edition of the book. The original edition was removed years ago, and now has Svartesól has revised the book and re-written sections of the book. This book is more of an explanation of the author’s personal beliefs than a re-constructionist text. If you’re interested in the Vanir, however, it’s an interesting…

Focus on reading as well as writing!

Bydruidinthecity January 4, 2014

This year, one of my goals is to do a lot more study. I’m working on my Initiate Program with the ADF and am on the first class. There are some of the classes that include work that takes a year from the time you start it, so I’m not targeting on finishing all that…
