An Ascetic Vademecum for the Great Fast, the Neophyte, and the Catechumenate.
My Private Canon is a profound, elegiac anthology of sacred verse, theological interiority, and noetic prayer guidance. It is crafted precisely for those traversing Great Lent, approaching Holy Illumination, or navigating the unseeable warfare of the soul.
Written by Tiffany Desiree—known in the Spirit as Olga—this text captures the raw, distinct landscape of the Borderlands Orthodox Experience. The work was forged in the crucible of unrighteous condemnation, transmuting the stigma of establishing holy boundaries into a testament of spiritual sovereignty. Dissecting the isolation borne when personal dignity is misconstrued as insubordination, Desiree articulates the resilience of an ineradicable soul—offering deep gratitude to the grandmothers whose enduring witness always reminded her of who she truly is.
Shaped by an Eastern Christian heritage and the eschatological memory of the People of the Fallen Star, this work explores ontological endurance and the struggle to remain whole amid betrayal and misnaming. Interwoven with historical reflection and liturgical anchoring, these pages deliver both aesthetic transcendence and dogmatic ballast for readers tracking Christ through the depths of grief and spiritual assault. Desiree brings refined literary precision to this spiritual warfare; she graduated cum laude from Washington State University in 2012 with an Honors Bachelor of Arts in Creative Writing.
This is no conventional devotional. It is a rigorous companion for the spirit cast into the furnace of purification: for catechumens standing at the threshold of Holy Baptism, for the newly illumined counting the cost of the ancient path, and for believers seeking a Lenten discipline rooted in unceasing prayer and divine mercy.
Both intimate and unflinching, My Private Canon merges historic memory with unwavering fidelity. Within these pages, poetic meter transforms into liturgy, historical trauma into holy martyria, and affliction into a Eucharistic offering laid before the Light that no darkness can overcome.

How the Indian Beat the Black Out of Me
Robert and Cecilia Demery welcomed their son Samuel into the world in 1908 in Natchitoches, Louisiana, a time when heightened racial animosity, intensified by national events such as the Springfield race riot, permeated the social landscape.
Unlike relatives who sought re-enrollment in the Cherokee Nation's Cooweescoowee District, Robert focused on forging his own legacy, aspiring to the stature of his grandfather, Allen Demery. His grandfather, a Free Person of Color recorded in the very first 1790 census, became a substantial landowner with thousands of acres, earning this land through his service during the War of 1812.
The Demery men were highly regarded as proud and industrious individuals who built strong reputations everywhere they traveled. John Demery established the North Carolina Waccamaw settlement in 1813; similarly, Robert was ready to make his mark on history.
1908 was a tough year. It had been 43 years since the Negro was freed from slavery, and individuals like Pratt Plecker forced the term "Colored" onto Indians as a race. The Demery men achieved unimaginable wealth, in part, by leveraging identities as individuals with mixed Cherokee and Lumbee ancestry.
Determined to accumulate personal wealth, Robert, the first Demery in his role, found himself at a crossroads. He had to choose between his financial aspirations and his identity in a new republic heavily preoccupied with racial dynamics.
