30 Days of Druidry

Alison Leigh Lilly posted about a “30 Days of Druidry” meme and it seemed like an interesting way to reflect on my chosen path.  It could also be a nice way to further familiarize or even introduce non-Druids to what I do.  I have several friends and family who follow my blog and are often curious about what it is I practice.  The way it works is simple, as Lilly wrote:

This meme is based loosely on the “30 Days of Paganism” meme that was making its way around the blogosphere last year. How it works is simple: each day, write about your thoughts and experiences on how the day’s topic fits into your spiritual tradition or path. You can use the day’s topic as a jumping-off point for creative writing, or take a more straight-forward approach by writing essays or journal entries.
