Welcoming in 2014

Bydruidinthecity January 1, 2014

Happy New Year to one and all!

As we welcome in 2014, a lot of people make new resolutions … I’ve never been good at making New Year’s Resolutions. I think that’s mostly because I commit to too much or don’t follow through.

So this year I’m making new goals.

One of my goals is to blog more … this helps me do research that I need for my classes in ADF and keeps me doing things that aren’t related to work! To help me blog more, I’m joining up with the Pagan Blog Project 2014. The other goals … they’re mostly focused around my martial arts and focusing more on spiritual study and practice. There should be some work goals in there I’m sure, but I haven’t figured them out yet 🙂

What are your new goals for 2014? Do you have any?

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…

Visiting a Buddhist Temple

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…

Foundations: The Elements [PBP]

Bydruidinthecity March 2, 2012

There are so many different ways to define the elements and most of it depends on what traditions you follow. Wiccans are often heavily involved with the elements, using them to define their working circles as well as invoking them in their work. Other traditional witches that I’ve known use the associations and energies of the elements in their working.

Just Breathe

Bydruidinthecity January 19, 2014

[This is a post for the Pagan Blog Project – click here for all PBP 2014 posts] Breathe, it’s one of the most important thing that we do with our bodies. It’s how we get oxygen into our lungs and thus into our body, and how we get the toxic gasses back out of our…

Disconnecting and re-connecting

Bydruidinthecity September 11, 2013

For those of you who know me you know I prefer to live in an urban environment, preferably in a city. And I’m studying the path of Druidry. It may seem like a bit of an oxymoron, but I’m an Urban Druid. There’s nature all around us in the cities – mushrooms growing in the…

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…
