Oh My Gods! just got it’s own Get Satisfaction site! Huzzah! Now simply go to getsatisfaction.com/ohmygods to leave comments, feedback, suggestions, and whatever else you’d like! There is also a tab on the left called “Feedback” you can use, as well as a link in the menu on the right. So go for it! I’ll be checking it, so feel free to use it to help Oh My Gods! grow!
Deepest apologies for the vacation
Welcome back everyone! I see many faces I remember and tons more new to me! Welcome back veterans and glad to have you newbies!
My deepest apologies for the strip’s long vacation. To not get into much detail, thankfully my feet are back underneath me again and I’m hopefully in a place where I can create the strip on a regular basis again. Currently there is a (huge) void in the strip (from August 4th to November 3rd) – I will try to refill this with content, but I do not want to promise what I am unsure I can deliver. If I do, you’ll be the first to know!
In the Works - Oh My Gods! Hardcover
While it's not ready to be finalized yet, I wanted to let all you lovely fans know about a special project I am working on. I am going to create an Oh My Gods! Special Edition Hard Cover book of the first Five Years of the strip. It will be pretty! It will be fantastic! It will (sadly) also be very expensive! However, I know there will be at least one customer (me) and perhaps maybe more!
Just wanted to give you all a tease!
2000 Strips!
Wow, I can’t believe it’s been this long. I’ve officially now done 2000 strips. It doesn’t feel that long, and frankly, it’s kind of weird to think that I’ve created something 2000 times. In the end, though, I am very thankful to have such a great audience who has stuck with the strip for so long, and to have new readers each and every day! Here’s to the next 2000!
PS: If you missed the 2000th strip, check it out here
Year 4 Anthology NOW AVAILABLE!

(Of course the first three years of anthologies are still available)
What People are Saying about Oh My Gods!
“This is some seriously clever occult humor! Hey, someone had to take the piss out of NeoPaganism. Leave it to Shivian Balaris to apply his observations and critiques in the form of entertaining comic art. For a lighthearted, fun, and educational perspective of our weird and Witchy ways, Oh My Gods! is the place to turn.”
Raven Digitalis, author of Shadow Magick Compendium & Goth Craft
Ahhh...
...what more could we expect from our beloved Stan and Vincent? :)
lol
Nothing more and nothing less...
.:'In the place of a Dark Lord you would have a Queen. Not Dark but beautiful and as terrible as the Dawn. Trecherous as the sea, stronger than the foundations of the Earth. All shall love me and despair!:.
Mistletoe
Yes...and maybe for Vera there'll be a nice little kiss under the misletoe *hint hint, Shivian* (do pagans even do mistletoe at Yule? I'm solitary, so I've no-one to ask :( )
My karma ran over my dogma
I think...
I'm pretty sure we pagans invented the whole mistletoe thing, actually. ;) However, I'll leave the definitive answer to the professionals... *taps the mic* Ahem, is there a druid in the room to confirm this? Hello? Any druids in the room, please?
I know...
That pagans started having it around this time of year... I'm not so sure about the kissing part....
_,.:*:.,_Tisiphone_,.:*:.,_
Mistletoe kissing is very much Pagan.
Actually, it was a Norse invention. Lemme see if I can find my link...

ummm . . .
i know i have plans for mistletoe - my bf would be the type to surprise me with it, although he may want to do something more along vera's train of thought (not that i would mind, unless the mistletoe was infested with nargles) cuz we like to do fun random stuff. We're also going caroling, although there may end up being a slight disagreement on what we sing, cuz i will want to sing secular songs, while he will want to sing religious songs. (I let slip that when i was little -and still xtian- that my favorite song was "The Little Drummer Boy" so he might try to talk me into singing it. oh well. he's prolly the only one that could get me to do it. gods, love stinks sometimes.
-->He is YOUR god, they are YOUR rules, YOU burn in hell!<--
Ahh Nargles
Alas no mistletoe in Aus for Xmas, only swealtering heats and Midsummer preperations... -sighs-
I wish peanuts could talk....
Vera...
Ok, after reading all these comments about how Vera should get a girlfriend, I actually had a dream about it last night (wow, my first dream featuring ohmygods characters). Is that a sign? Shivian??
I agree...
...it's time poor Vera had a girlfriend too. She deserves all the loving, caring, compassionate and hornilicious attention that special woman in her life could provide.
boy meets boy
reading to much boy meets boy has made me not used to ohmygods art anymore. xp And to think I've been reading it for so long.

i would like...
some eggnog right now.
Winter Holiday
Me and my Atheist family replaced the Christmas that my parents were raised with with Giftmas: The feast of Prezzies!
On Giftmas Eve, at the very least in the preceding week, we eat latkes and ham. We also have a sockfight, with actual fighting socks these days, to burn off all that "must open prezzies!" energy.
And one year, we had eggnog milkshakes! With rum! Eggnog instead of ordinary milk, eggnog icecream instead of vanilla, and Barbossa (like Captain Morgan, but with a beard) spiced rum! Much fun was had.
If you don't think I'm crazy, you either don't know me very well or you're my therapist.
Your family is awesome
At my house, we mostly use the holiday to get everyone together under one roof(surprisingly hard for our family) and eat off of the good china. And the prezzies. Can't forget those lol.
Hey, does anyone here celebrate Festivus?
~~Behind every successful man is a woman rolling her eyes~~
Ok, then you'll love this...
You know how a lot of ppl use the abreviation "X-mas" saying the "X" substitutes for the word "Christ" (or the letter "CH" in Greek)? Well, here's an all new Pagan-friendly reason to call it Xmas:
The Norse rune Gebo(G) which *looks* like the modern letter "X" is roughly translated as meaning "gift". So it really *could* be Gift-mas! (I created some Norse-inspired Yule cards around this concept - send me a note if you want a picture.)
That is too cool
I wish I had thought of it. Now if only Gifu were aligned with the solstice...
~~~
May love, darkness and kittens follow you wherever you go. Mau!
X-mas
While I was attending a christian private school they would get pissed if anyone wrote Xmas, because, so they said, it X was an attempt of non-beilevers to take christ's name out of the holiday. I um... tried explaining the whole it stands for the greek letter thing. Nope it's a trick to make christmas "non-holy". um... yep, anyway when I told some of my friends that they suggested I write Xtain on my bible homework from now on. Didn't do it, I really don't like spending weeks at a time in the couslours office while people try to convert me.

GIRL FRIENDS FOR VICTOR AND VERA!
Vera because she's awesome.
Victor because the GF could be just the grounding force he needs...
Victor... O_O
But the danger with a girlfriend for Victor would be if she were as spacey and stupid as he was... and then they might reproduce and there'd be more little Victor-esque characters running around, causing havoc! Pushing buttons on machines that they aren't supposed to touch! Attempting to build a really big fishing rod in order to "Draw down the Moon"! Dogs and cats living together! Mass hysteria!
NOOOOOO!
little victors and victorettes running around, that would be like hell on earth. in addition to mass hysteria, there would be panics, floods, fires, and eventually the accidental extermination of the entire human race. (which means that shivian would be fine, of course.)
-->He is YOUR god, they are YOUR rules, YOU burn in hell!<--
Little Victors and Victorettes!
I thought we already had right-wing conservatives?
