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.

Arianrhod

Bydruidinthecity January 10, 2014

Sometimes, no matter how hard you try to avoid it, one of the Kindred will insist that you pay attention to them. Lately, that’s Arianrhod for me. I’ve finally given in. The reason that I’ve been avoiding Her is that she is the mother of Lleu Llaw Gyffes, a god that I work with, and…

And it Begins . . . NaBloPoMo

Bydruidinthecity November 1, 2011

Today is the first day of a new experiment. I’m planning on participating in the NaBloPoMo for November in an effort to try to write more. If you’re not familar with it, NaBloPoMo is the National Blog Post Month. For me it’s an experiment to see if I can actually post daily! I’m currently studying…

Evocation [PBP]

Bydruidinthecity February 28, 2014

[This is a post for the Pagan Blog Project] Evoke vs Invoke. It’s an interesting balance. There’s a whole LOT of grey area between the two words, and that’s without bringing any magical meaning to them! Since this is the ‘E’ post for PBP, I’m going to focus on ‘evoke’ in this post! Both words…

Community [PBP]

Bydruidinthecity February 10, 2012

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…

Counting up, or how I build habits

Bydruidinthecity July 13, 2016November 6, 2022

I’ve been re-learning how to play the piano since November. I previously stopped playing when I was 12 or so, and it’s fascinating how much I remember. As part of learning a musical instrument, practice is involved. For a few months, I would set a timer for a certain amount of time and try to…

The Challenge of Moving

Bydruidinthecity February 13, 2017

Our Landlady told us that she was raising the rent – raising it further than we were comfortable paying. So we’re moving. And I really don’t like it. This discomfort is completely aside from the effort of packing, and organizing the moving of utilities and internet, not to mention the extra expense for new security…
