I’m Not Celebrating Secular Thanksgiving This Year – This is What I’m Doing Instead »

Trance 1: A Lull

November 19, 2016 by greycatsidhe

We experienced a very beautiful full moon recently.  Several people commented that they felt an intense amount of energy related to it.  Normally I feel very energetic around full moons, but this month found me exhausted, drained, and even a little ill feeling.  To be sure, November has been a stressful month for many of us.

My trance practice has been very minimal the last few weeks.  I’m not proud of that, but I’ve been feeling out of it.  Work has me exhausted.  The news has me exhausted.  My daughter has been ill which has me exhausted.  Today, at a grove business meeting, I opened by pouring a few random objects out for people to view.  I asked everyone to choose an object that represents where they are in their study programs, Druidism, or even just their involvement with the group.  I chose the wine cork because I felt like I was just staying buoyant.  I wasn’t really progressing anywhere, but I was maintaining my spiritual practice to the best of my ability.

I suppose I should look on the bright side and celebrate that I haven’t just completely stopped maintaining my relationships with spirit allies, but I am disgruntled that I haven’t done more to finish the study programs I’m working on.  I’m annoyed with myself for not doing more towards my trance studies in particular.

I’ve continued to visualize my Druid egg around me in the mornings as a way to shield.  Some days I can see and feel it really clearly; others I’m barely awake and feel like I’m going through the motions.  I’ve continued to try and do my yoga on the weekends.  Last week I had a much-needed massage.  I feel like that cleared away some of the cobwebs.  Today felt particularly good as I mindfully went into my yoga, focusing on each of the Three Realms as I moved from the ground, through tree, and reached to the sky.  Perhaps, as the moon wanes, the ennui will decrease and I can meditate on what intentions to set for the new moon.

    I love me some waning moon over the cemetery. #moon #cemetery #graveyard #nightowl
    Time for some belly dance practice with @thedaturaonline! #bellydance #selfcare #discipline #workout
    I had a girls’ day out with my daughter today. We spent it in Clayton. Although it was chilly, we always enjoy time at the river. We enjoyed seeing the frozen St. Lawrence, a hairy snow spirit peeking out of the ice, and even some kite skiing! There’s always something to see on the river. As for us, we went to a hair salon with a fantastic view, then did lunch looking fabulous. #stlawrenceriver #nny #winter #1000islands
    Lunch date with my husband!
    It’s cold and very, very white outside. I know it can start to exhaust us this time of year, but I appreciate the reminders of life all around. Green from the conifers, sunlight through pine boughs, and adorable footprints on the porch. Embrace each day’s gifts. Slow down and appreciate them when you can. #gratitude #winter #nature #naturespirits #druidry #druidsofinstagram
    Lovely dried geranium petals from our windowsill. These will make pretty offerings. #druidsofinstagram #plants
