Habits

Bydruidinthecity November 28, 2011

Alas, I have lapsed on my regular blog posting. My world got a bit turned upside down with moving our home, then traveling for the holidays with most of our belongings still in boxes. It made me realize how easy it is to fall out of practice.

I took my runes with me, with the idea of continuing my daily practice of a centering meditation then drawing a rune .. and …. nope, nothing. Didn’t do it once on the trip.

I do miss it though, and this morning I started again .. well without the runes, I can’t seem to find them.

It’s amazing how quickly habits can be lost … and it takes a while to get them back too.

Habits are also sometimes situation. I have a morning devotional habit when I’m home, but that same habit is gone when I’m not home. My surroundings are different, so the habit changes.

Take some time and observe .. what are you habits? how do they change?

The Intensive was about taking our domestic…

Cauldron Lady – a verse for Cerridwen

I’ve been playing with the idea of creating songs and chants to the gods. This is my first attempt. Sung to the tune of Frere Jacques: Cauldron Lady, Awen Lady, We call to you, We call to you, Come to bless our day now, Come to bless our day now, Praise to you! Praise to…

Healing Hurts

Bydruidinthecity April 15, 2012

This week’s Pagan Blog Post is about Hurts. Not the kind of hurt you get when you fall down, but the kind of hurt that gets into a child’s mind and changes the way they view the world. You may wonder what this has to do with magic. In order to perform magic fully, you…
