This week, a fairly quick rundown of my thoughts on Devotional Polytheism by Galina Krasskova.

As always, let me know what you think!

I appreciate your view on this book, Jeff. Because I started out Gaelic Polytheist instead of Heathen I did sometimes wonder "well, how do *I* do this?" while reading it. But I think there's an answer to your critique that Galina doesn't give definite instructions--she seems to continually get massive amounts of flak from the Heathen sphere: "Meanie gatekeeper, how dare you make us feel judged, what about Sally No-Hands who can't make offerings because she has no hands but you're obviously saying she can't be a real polytheist and who elected you Asapope, REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" So I presume she was being circumspect and trying to just get the idea of devotion out there, with hopes that readers would be inspired to search out information on How. My best guess, anyway.
