About Patch and this Blog
-I'm known on the internet as Patch.
I have been a practising Hellenic polytheist for 4 years.

Practice makes perfect
I seem to use the term ‘practice’ all the time. I guess it is a subconscious acknowledgement of the fact that I never stop learning and changing and trying to improve in my spiritual work. This week, I have started … Continue reading
