Distractions

Bydruidinthecity December 22, 2011

One of my challenges in finishing a project, course of study, etc is distractions. I’m terribly distractible . “Oh Shiny!” and I’m off … this does not bode well for finishing projects, courses, etc.

I am going to finish the ADF DP. This is a notice to myself, and a request to others to help me keep focused.

I find that it’s easier for me to stay focused with external help. Friends who are requested to bug me, facebook groups on a specific topic or organization, exposing myself to others doing the same thing all help. These things may not stop me from being distracted, but they do help me return to the task more easily.

In this frantic time of year, how do you stay on track?

Community [PBP]

Today I’d like to talk about community. It seems to be a very appropriate subject for the Pagan Blog Project which is all about building the online pagan community. In the last year, I have been getting more involved with the local and online pagan communities. I’ve joined a local ADF grove, a local working…

A Week of Devotions

Bydruidinthecity July 4, 2016

I find that I have very limited time in the mornings – it’s a balancing act of getting to work early enough, and making sure that I get enough sleep. Even with the limited time, it’s still important to me to have time for morning devotionals, but how do I honor all the beings I…

Action oriented world .. thinking optional

Bydruidinthecity August 29, 2011

Sometimes it’s something as simple as seeing a sign that makes you consider how the world has changed. This morning, on the way to work, I noticed that the signs warning you that a lane was about to become exit only said “Thru traffic merge left”. When I was younger, you were expected to understand…

Time for getting intensive

Bydruidinthecity July 8, 2014

In a few days, I’m heading out for my first “Intensive” for my Masters degree. For those who don’t know, I have registered as a Master’s student at Cherry Hill Seminary. I’m currently in my first semester of my Master’s program, but I have taken classes from Cherry Hill for a few years. Cherry Hill…

What’s in a spelling?

Bydruidinthecity November 4, 2011

Magic or Magick? Different people spell it different ways. I’m talking about the spiritual, witchcraft, ceremonial type of magic here, not stage illusions. And that differentiation is exactly why the spelling was changed from “magic” to “magick” by Aleister Crowley. Crowley wanted to be clear that he was talking about magick that was “the Science…

Where I’ve been

Bydruidinthecity January 15, 2022January 15, 2022

Burned out. That’s been my situation for the better part of 2021. Burned out from work, from the pandemic, from all the changes going on in my life, and did I mention the pandemic? I spent the majority of 2021 away from my family and friends, and isolating and not having opportunities to meet anyone…
