Ritual Debrief: November 20th-21st encounter with the Lady of the Stars (Long post, beware)

My last post talked about prep for my introductory ritual with the Lady of the Stars, or Brighid. I haven’t posted the debrief until now because I’m actually quite bad with the whole follow-through thing, but I’m working on that. I did write up my experience directly after it happened, however, and I’ll be posting …

Ritual prep

Best friend and I went and scouted out a place for me to do the ritual yesterday morning. She’ll be sitting in the car waiting for me to finish when I do the ritual tonight, with instructions to find me if I don’t come back within an hour and a half to two hours. The …

By leaps and bounds

I got my ADF materials shortly before Samhain (which was not the best Samhain I’ve ever had, but I don’t want to get into that right now).

So Manannan’s a fun guy.

What I posted yesterday was not what I had set out to post. I’d set out to post about Manannan, originally, and I ended up talking about the BP oil spill and rambling about how depressed I get with the state of the world. Well, I guess that is fitting. Anyway, what I had wanted …

Finding Answers (and coming away with more questions)

Manannan?

So up till now my NeoCeltic practice (er, what little I have of one) has revolved around Brighid and Morrigan. I’d thought about branching out to other gods in the Celtic pantheon, but didn’t really have an idea where to begin. Well, I was at my dad’s this weekend, and while I was working on …
