I ordered a copy of Keeping a Nature Journal: Discover a Whole New Way of Seeing the World Around You by Clare Walker Leslie and Charles E. Roth a while ago, and it arrived this week. I’m only about 31 pages into it, but skimming through the rest of it to see what it contains …

Hearing the Gods: self-deception is the enemy
How can I tell what the gods are saying? I’m in a relatively small camp of people who are ‘god-bothered’. We’ve usually been thwapped by gods and have really intimate relationships with Them, and many of us have conversations with those gods that are pretty distinct. (If you’re going to get jealous or upset because …

44 Days of Witchery, Day 40: Your altar, if you have one!
This cacophony of light and color is the wall that forms my altars. One on the windowsill, one on the far right, one in the centre, one on the left, and one even further left, on the bookcase. In order: for the Lady of the Stars, for my ancestors, for Morrigan, Brighid, and Manannan in …

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 …

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). I started doing Brigantia’s Celtic Devotions in the morning and evening, and I’ve been a lot more centred since starting those. Have yet to anything bigger than those …
Well, I’ve done it.
I just sent in my membership form to ADF. In a few weeks I’ll have my membership packet of materials. I’m feeling pretty tingly and nervous. (Also, apologies for so long without an update. My Oma died at the end of August, and between that and getting back to school and the upheavals there, all …
Ár nDraíocht Féin: A Druid Fellowship
I should be sleeping, but I wanted to blog about this briefly. Several friends of mine (online and off) are part of this organization, so I’ve known about it for several months now, however tangentially. I’ve used the website as a resource when it came to aspects of forging my own NeoCeltic path. I didn’t think …
