It’s a hot and humid day, but it’s also overcast with a call for rain. Probably not the best time to visit the beach… The extra shade means it’s more comfortable outside than in, though, so it’s a great day to explore outside but stay close to home in case we need shelter. So BeeContinue reading “Pagan Parenting: Flower Picking”

Honoring Furry Friends as Ancestors of Heart
My sister recently lost one of her kitties to old age and disease. The elderly cat, named “Carmel”, had reached the crazy age of 17 or 18, which is ancient for a cat. Her hearing was mostly gone, and her eyes were riddled with cataracts. Her hips and legs were starting to give out onContinue reading “Honoring Furry Friends as Ancestors of Heart”
Visiting the Source
Sometimes we have to take a pilgrimage to where it all began – to the source of our spirituality. By that, I mean the places where we first felt the stirrings of spirits around us, observed the interconnection of everything, and where our soul first learned to dance. For me, that place is my childhood homeContinue reading “Visiting the Source”
If You Give a Druid a Cup of Tea
(This entry describes my morning. Written in the style of If You Give a Mouse a Cookie by Laura Joffe Numeroff.) If you give a Druid a cup of tea, she’ll feel very content, almost meditative. She’ll be moved to give some as an offering to her Ancestors. So, your Druid will go to the householdContinue reading “If You Give a Druid a Cup of Tea”
My Shrine to Airmed
Last year, I felt called to begin building a shrine to honor Airmed. For those who are unfamiliar with her, she is an Irish Goddess – one of the Tuatha Dé Danann. Along with her brother, Miach, and her father, Dian Cecht, she helped to heal the other Tuatha Dé Danann. The King of the TuathaContinue reading “My Shrine to Airmed”
Shrine Facelift
Since my Ancestors’ shrine moved and is looking much better, I thought it was only right to give the Nature Spirits’ indoor shrine a facelift! After dusting, I started to find places for the various bones, shells, feathers, crystals, etc and realized that I should place things according to realm – land, sea, and sky!Continue reading “Shrine Facelift”
Lessons From Trees
Sniffles be damned- I felt pulled to the forest! The winter wonderland conditions were perfect and it’s been so long… So hubby watched Bee while I pulled my boots on and headed into the forest. It always feels like visiting an old friend. As always I brought offerings, along with the remaining mini pumpkins. TheContinue reading “Lessons From Trees”
A Walk in the Forest
When I woke up this morning, I felt the forest calling. As if to emphasize it, a crow cawed as I shared my feelings about it on Twitter. Now that the wind isn’t so biting and the ground not so slippery, I could no longer ignore the calling to get back into the forest.Continue reading “A Walk in the Forest”
