Hi, I'm Tom/winteryserpent and I'm a somewhat hard polytheist whose primary deity is Veles. It's a kind of frustrating place to be because a lot of the resources out there are flawed or not very good, so a lot of my work deals with my own UPG. I also work with Koschei and that's me dealing more with folklore that I come across and more UPG. I can't really call myself a Slavic polytheist since I tend to blend a lot of stuff I know from Northern Tradition type paths into my own work and work with Jotnar. Plus there's some fictional/pop culture stuff that shows up fairly often, plus my own original fiction informs how I see things.
Basically I mostly feel like I'm cobbling things together and it doesn't make me fit very well in certain places, but making my own path feels like the right thing. I'm also a queer trans man who has Asperger's and I'm into crafting (right now cross-stitch and beading is my thing) and I'm a history nerd. In fact, history tends to be a cornerstone I go to when I try to work out my own religious path as I consider them to be resources. Currently I am trying to read up on the history of the Ukraine and Russia. Poland is also on my list. I am also an aspiring academic though I'm not sure if that's going to be a path that works out for me.

Hello there Tom! I know what you mean about being an "aspiring academic." I wish there were more resources where I was to study more about Ireland, Scotland, and Isle of Man but so far it's only USA history that's available :/ Luckily, there are plenty of books and I am acquiring as many as I can!
