Totoro Plush

I recently shared a list of some favorite Pagan-related movies, and “My Neighbor Totoro” was on there.  Creating that list reminded me that the movie was part of my collection.  My daughter watched it several months ago, before her attention span was ready for a feature-length film.  I took it out again and she’s obsessedContinue reading “Totoro Plush”

My Favorite Pagan Movies (at this time)

A friend asked me what my favorite Pagan movies are.  I asked whether he meant documentaries about Paganism, or fictional movies about content that would inspire Pagans.  He said both, so I decided to make a list and share it on my blog!  There are some movies that didn’t quite make my list because theyContinue reading “My Favorite Pagan Movies (at this time)”

Druid Movie Night: “The Lion King” – After All These Years…

Yes, yes, I can already hear your impatient mutterings, wondering what “The Lion King” is doing on a blog about Celtic spirituality.  Well hold your horses (or zebras).

Druid Movie Night: “A Letter to Momo”

  Many of my favorite anime titles involve spiritual elements.  The Hayao Miyazaki films, such as My Neighbor Tototor and Princess Mononoke, were greatly inspired by animistic beliefs native to Japan.  The interaction between the human and spirit world are important elements to the stories, and I find a lot to compare to Druidism – oldContinue reading “Druid Movie Night: “A Letter to Momo””

North Country Druid: Thousand Islands Land Trust Hosts “Green Movie Night”

When I first started this blog five years ago, it was originally called “North Country Pagan” because I wanted it to reflect my experiences finding things relevant to Paganism and Pagan culture in Northern NY.  My blog title eventually changed because I wanted to narrow my focus more on my spiritual path of choice, butContinue reading “North Country Druid: Thousand Islands Land Trust Hosts “Green Movie Night””

The Secret World of Arrietty « Chronic Awesome

The Secret World of Arrietty « Chronic Awesome. This pretty much says everything I think about this lovely movie.  If you’re looking for something whimsical and earthy, this is definitely for you!  It has some very deep themes that most children are likely to miss, but I still highly recommend it for the little onesContinue reading “The Secret World of Arrietty « Chronic Awesome”
