Let there be Love

Bydruidinthecity August 29, 2012

In addition to my work with the ADF, I’ve been working with the New Hermetics course from Jason Newcomb.

This week’s lesson takes us through an exercise that’s about sending out love to the universe.

It’s amazing how just focusing on love can put a smile on your face. We’re not talking about sexual love, but about love and compassion for the world around you. It’s about recognizing that we are all connected, and we are all (at least a little bit) magical.

Take a moment today and share your love.

Smile at yourself in the mirror, smile at the conductor on the train, or the driver in the car next to you. Sharing your love and compassion is about recognizing that the other person as a human being, as their own entity, yet connected to the whole.

We are all connected, and yet we are individuals, and together or individually, we can do amazing things.

Change

Bydruidinthecity November 18, 2011

Most people don’t like change. It’s a bit of human nature that we prefer to have things stay the same. But there are reasons for change. Sometimes we’re not in a good situation, or a better one comes along. Sometimes we need to move on to continue to grow, or to advance our learning, or just…

A Little Enchantment for the World

There are times, like watching my facebook feed last night as my friends watched the Presidential Debates where I wish for a bit more enchantment in the world. So I’m doing my part. Attribution: The Photo is from PixaBay under CC0 and the poem was snagged from shmoop.com

Spirituality When You’re Sick

Bydruidinthecity August 22, 2016

An interesting thing about spirituality, I find, is that it’s easy to do when I have time; it’s harder to do when I am busy; and it tends to get forgotten when I’m sick. The irony is that I need that connection so much more when I’m not feeling well, but I let it fall…

Do You Really Need a Patron?

Bydruidinthecity April 23, 2017

Admittedly, this is a bit of a hot button topic for me. In the Pagan world, I find a lot of people using the terms “Patron” or “Matron” to refer to a particular god or goddess that they are working closely with. The traditional meaning of patron that I learned is an individual who is…

Failure & Frustration [PSP]

Bydruidinthecity March 23, 2012

For today’s post for the Pagan Blog Project, I was going to write about Freyr to balance my post about Freya last week, but instead life hit me over the head and I have a new topic. Today’s post is about failure and frustration. I’ve had a rough week this week with multiple, unexpected…

Visiting a Buddhist Temple

Bydruidinthecity May 30, 2015

I recently visited Bongeunsa Temple in Seoul, South Korea. It was my first visit to a Buddhist temple, and I’m not sure what I expected. It was a week before Buddha’s Birthday, which is celebrated in Korea on May 25th this year. The temple was decorated with lanterns and floats for the celebration. As I…
