Ok, I really need to write about my experiences at Wellspring this year. It’s taken me long enough. This is entirely due to the fact that I’m just so busy right now. I’m taking summer classes three nights a week and am preparing for a craft show next weekend. I feel terribly behind on myContinue reading “Wellspring 2011”

Happy Mother’s Day!
A blessed Mother’s Day to my mum, all the mothers out there, the mother Goddesses, and The Earth Mother. Blessed be the works of your hands, O Holy One. Blessed be these hands that have touched life. Blessed be these hands that have nurtured creativity. Blessed be these hands that have held pain. Blessed beContinue reading “Happy Mother’s Day!”
My Beltaine
Yesterday, Weretoad and I went to Syracuse to celebrate Beltaine with the folks at Muin Mound Grove. We had a wonderful time. I feel a greater familial bond with everyone. I celebrate everyone’s victories, lament their tragedies, cry when they cry, and laugh at inside jokes. This Beltaine marked my fourth anniversary with them.Continue reading “My Beltaine”
Thoughts Before Bed and an Extended Retreat Day
Family obligations, visiting friends, and general fatigue have kept me busy this weekend. I plan to do my retreat day tomorrow and Tuesday evening. As such, I will not be online except for short periods to check email and grove business. I look forward to these times even though my husband shakes his head atContinue reading “Thoughts Before Bed and an Extended Retreat Day”
Visting My Family for Easter
I think I’ve mentioned this before, but a majority of my clan is Catholic. Thus I find myself visiting my family for their Easter celebration. Now, I used to be an active participant. As a child, my mother woke us up singing either “Peter Cottontail” or “In Your Easter Bonnet.” We would find and thenContinue reading “Visting My Family for Easter”
A Fun and Crafty Day
I’m on vacation. I can kick back and relax. I can sew and have fun! That’s just what I did today. I had a lovely day! I’m off to do my devotional before bed. Tomorrow? I hope to attend an Earth Day event, take care of some errands, and get my monthly massage! Huzzah!
New Banner
This is my third post today. I apologize for that, but as a Druid you must excuse me for doing things in threes every once and awhile. 😛 For those of you who follow via RSS feed or FB, and don’t visit my actual blog, I wanted to share this with you: It’s my newContinue reading “New Banner”
Druid Fortress, Traveling Altars, and Nine Moons
I had a stressful and somewhat scary experience last night. I decided to do the Druid Fortress exercise as a way to shield myself. It worked very well and is calming and strengthening at the same time. Feeling the energy is very assuring. I’m realizing that my traveling altar needs some work. Doing rituals inContinue reading “Druid Fortress, Traveling Altars, and Nine Moons”
Changing Behavior
Part of why I started the Nine Moons is because my focus needed more, well, focus. I saw definite improvement last month. I also discovered some habits that really needed changing, especially with my husband’s new work schedule. I used to do my evening devotional before bed. My husband now retires earlier than I doContinue reading “Changing Behavior”
Earth Hour 2011
Saturday was Earth Hour. It was the third year Weretoad and I participated. A lot of people complain about it being a pipe dream with little impact, especially this year. Since we’re already environmentalists and go beyond the hour anyway, I feel that even one more little step can make a difference. I think itContinue reading “Earth Hour 2011”
