So in a previous blog I looked at evidence supporting the roles of the Druids as ritual leaders, judges, and seers, but this is only a small piece of who the Druids were. We also have evidence that within their societies they were sacred poets, teachers of wisdom, and the ones who understood the deeper mysteries of the natural world, and magic users, however discussing the bardic role of Druids alone is complicated enough to take a whole blog on it’s own, so we will have to get to the other …

These Days
With the Bone-Man’s Staff completed and ready to be put to good use on Samhain, The Wild Rade and on Hag’s Night, another new wand lies in wait for creation, and this one may be for sale! Because Andrew will be the primary worker of this design by me, I’ve left it up to him to decide what to do with it if I don’t fall in love with it. He says that if it turns out as good as we hope, it will be for sale over my blog. It is going to be made of greenheart wood or Lignum Vitae- …
LOVE AND PEACE
I saw him as he entered , dragging his bag behind. He look so old and withered, face worn, and lined. Yet there was about him, a light, that shined from within It illuminated his countenance, and radiated his skin. I cannot tell you where he came from, nor his very name And yet, something […]
I Have A Little Poppet Doll
So. Um. Here’s another reason why Keri should wait for the coffee to kick in before getting near any communication device in the morning. Oh Twitter, you suffer my abuses of language, and you do it so well. I have a little poppet doll, she’s made from pretty string. And every time I hold her, …

BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU ASK FOR….YOU MIGHT JUST GET IT
I’ve been sitting back watching people as of late. Kind of helpful when one is trying to recenter. So several instances I’ve noticed with people and their magical workings. One is an “experiment” of a ritual to call angels to you. It takes 5 days, and when you’re done you pass it on to 3 […]
Integrated Celtic Recon
So I know I haven’t been blogging regularly lately and there are several reasons for that; one of them I’m proud to announce today. I have been working with several friends on a new forum based community and study program called Integrated Celtic Reconstructionists; it is based on the idea of bringing different Celtic recons together with a larger sense of community and on providing a guided self study program that people seeking training can use. My own part in all this has been very small …
Big News
So it’s been a little bit since I have written here and I will tell you that this will be short. I have come to some realizations in my life recently that hopefully kick started something in me to pursue a dream I have long had.
1) The least important realization is I have to get off my butt and keep going with my dieting. I’ve gained 3 pounds back and I know this isn’t the “water weight” type deal. I have been monitoring it for a few days and I know it’s the real deal. I have also been …
RESPITE
Sometimes things come up from past situations that just rattle us. It tends to throw what we have going on more than a little off balance. Such has been the case this week. I was unsure what to do at first, trying to get myself back in line with some meditations, lighting of candles, incense…I […]
Redressing The Wound
So I broke apart and bleed in public again. In a Starbucks, no less. The few that asked about my tearful eyes and swollen nose were told, “The Santa Anas have started, and they are taking their due.”. They would smile and nod in understanding, pass on their seasonal advice, and promptly forget about me. …
