Other personal websites 🟠 ➜


https://satyrs.eu/
The website of Xanthe, an erudite and affable polytheist from the UK. It has a little bit of this, a little bit of that—ranging from deities’ shrines and coats-of-arms to cool band names and fun moments from Discord. They have a deep interest in the world around them—geography, geopolitics, historical linguistics, and exploring the world both online and offline.

http://foundalis.com/
A fellow from Greece named Harry who discusses physics and math, and teaches his readers basic Greek. I find the website quirky and charming, and I could listen to him ramble about the laws of the Universe all day.

https://umbritzer.neocities.org/
The website of Umbritzer, whom I like for being contemplative, somewhat whimsical, speaking seriously and personally, and writing with a slightly antiquated locution (which I also try to do.)
