#druidry — Public Fediverse posts

Hiya! My name is Syd (he/they), and I'm a witch who is building my own eclectic witchcraft practice grounded in animism and a connection to nature--especially the changing of the seasons and the constantly turning cycles of life and death and decay. I love reading, tarot, and spending time with the trees and the spirits. I also love watching movies (old horror movies and musicals most of all), playing video and card games of all kinds, and making arts and crafts (cross stitch and crochet in particular.)

I am hoping to make friends with fellow witches and nature lovers, learn more about how other people connect with nature and magic in their lives, and share a bit about my own practice too. My current projects include designing a tarot journalling workshop to share with others, working out my personal understandings of the spirits of the seasons, creating tarot spreads based around the Major Arcana, and befriending the local vultures. Nice to meet you!

Long-overdue OBOD update: got a new batch of gwersi today. 41-44.

In other words, next to last.

Can't deny I'm a bit wistful at the thought of not getting one of these in my mailbox every so often, but I also feel prepared to continue walking the path they've put me upon in a way no similar thing in my life ever has.

Still, it feels strange to be here at the finish line of the coursework without the person who persuaded me to join OBOD in the first place.

Life is a river with its many strange twists and turns.

New blogpost from the Druidry Centered Women’s Circle of the Rocky Mountains on responding to anti-Semitism and anti-Muslim bigotry in our community by centering hospitality. #Druidry #AntiSemitism #Islamophobia #Hospitality #Triads #DirectAction #Community

Getting the space all prettied up for Saturday!

Cracking this open tonight as I sit with my pipe. I read from the author's bio that she's also a member of OBOD, so I'm hoping this will prove a handy resource!

Anyone else read anything new/interesting lately?

My community is overwhelmingly white, which makes it more important to amplify the voices and experiences of Black and Brown members.

Started listening to OBOD's Druidcast over the weekend. I'm really enjoying hearing a lot of the bardic songs and poems as well as learning how other druids practice their beliefs. For me right now, I mostly just practice by spending time outdoors and meditating.

Y'all inspired me to put it in the LV:

#LibroVeridi #BookOfShadows #grimoire #druid #Druidry #pagan #heathen #prayer #Odin

This feels even better.

I love getting to fill the table of contents in as I write in LV. It might be my favorite part. It's like scratching that itch you can't usually reach, but for your brain.

#LibroVeridi #BookOfShadows #grimoire #journal #Druid #Druidry

This is my Libro Veridi (on-purpose bad Latin for "green book"). I guess it's a Druid's equivalent of a Book of Shadows/grimoire? I've been keeping it for just over 2 years, if I can trust my own dating.

- Druidry
- Wandmaking
- D&D (3.5 and newer)
- Divination (specifically runes, Tarot, and Ogham)
- Native American-style flute

Three things which pervert just judgment: the love of friends, fear of the mighty, and desire of worldly goods.

#triads #druidry #OBOD

Once you understand how intricately interwoven all existences are, you come to appreciate how deeply sacred each breath is as an act of communion.

By the simplest and most necessary of acts, we declare our innate kinship with all other living things.

in honor of the solstice, here's my rendition of House of the Rising Sun, played on Pine Island as part of my ritual today!

It was a beautiful day for a hike! This is my second year in a row of heading to the woods on Alban Hefin, and I think I might just make a practice of it!

I performed a solo ritual out on the Island and also played my flute a little-- video of the latter is forthcoming!

Pictured is the fen one must cross to access Pine Island, from about the middle of the causeway linking it to the rest of the Reserve.

Fucking off into the woods for a while, but first this update from the parking lot at MacCready-- it's empty. I am alone. With the entirety of the preserve.

The colors in my garden on Juneteenth. When I say that Black Lives Matter, I mean we need change in Black maternity mortality, in the school to prison pipeline, in the harrowing danger to young Black men from law enforcement, in the prison slavery profits, in voting rights including gerrymandering, in poverty, in climate injustice, in every area of inequality I forgot to mention here. We need specific changes and actions, not just t-shirts, flags and hashtags. As a white American I inherit enslavement and systemic racism and to redeem and save the country I love I am determined to face that uncomfortable inheritance. #BlackMastodon #BLM #Juneteenth #Druidry #RightAction #Truth

Yellow tansy. These were gifted by friends and have been very hardy. They are not native wildflowers but personal history. Very cheery, pretty much no maintenance, drought tolerant. #June #Gardening #Tansy #FriendHistory #Druidry

It's just shy of 10 pm and Orion is barely visible above the trees to the west. Soon, it will be Summer, and the Hunter will no longer ride across the night sky.

OTOH, the Big Dipper passes directly overhead each night. May we all drink deep of its nourishing flow.

Cool to see my work published in Touchstone again this month (even if it is under my deadname)! So grateful to be among the many contributors to the Order's collected wisdom.

Indulge me in one last #wandpost for today, if you would, because I really dig the checkerboard pattern I burned into the handle of this one.

#wand #wandmaking #woodworking #pyrography #art #magecraft #bard #ovate #druid #Druidry #OBOD

The Finger of God.

Made of oak, and burned to look like... well, like a finger. There are several markings added to this, including a Valknot, a custom sigil, and (not pictured) the rays of Awen where the fingerprint would be.

#wand #wandmaking #woodworking #valknot #awen #druid #druidry #art

More #wandposting ahead:

This is Talon, one of my very few maple wands and most favorite pieces. It's not my first attempt at recreating a real-life object on the shaft of one of my wands, but the feathers are among my best work so far, if I do say so myself.

The opposite side of this wand has "Talon" burned into it in the runes of the Elder Futhark.

(I've got this and a ton of others for sale. If you're interested, send me a DM.)

This is from a few days ago, but I finally started trimming some of that stormfall I gathered on the full moon: 17 wands and four longer pieces so far! I have projects in mind for two of the latter already, but I'm not sure what I'll do with the others just yet.

There are still a ton of fallen branches to trim, I might be swimming in blanks come summer...

#woodworking #wandmaking #magecraft #bard #ovate #druid #OBOD #druidry

Feeling very like a #druid today: gathering wood that fell in a winter thunderstorm under the #FullMoon (albeit in daylight). I'll be able to turn out lots of wands once the weather gets warmer!

What are you doing to take advantage of the current phase (rest counts, too)?

#wandmaking #woodworking #druidry #OBOD

May all have a blessed #imbolc on this beautiful February morning! The promise of Spring comes in with Saint Brigid! A change is in the air!

#pagan #neopagan #druidry #brigidsday

Here's the handle inscription, "ad astra," Latin for "to the stars." This appears on all three of the wands made from this one branch, and it's probably the closest thing the Grove has to a motto.

#woodworking #woodburning #pyrography #wandmaking #obod #ovate #druidry #runes

Another #pyrography toot:

This is the tip of a wand I recently finished. The runes are a transliteration of the words "May hope fly," one half of the call-and-response farewell of my Grove.

This particular wand is one of three I made from a fallen branch, one of many gifted to me by the twin black walnuts that grow behind my house and serve as my steadfast companions on my Druidic journey. My dear friends Rowan and Audrey wield the other two, and it's around the three of us that the nascent Grove first took shape.

This is my shillelagh. Years ago, I found it while on a walk in my local forest, its head charred from the lightning strike that had felled the oak it was once a limb of. I was still working through the Bardic grade at the time, and left the initial Ogham fews unconnected from each other, sensing that there were mysteries I had yet to witness that would inform the empty spaces.

Here, as I approach the end of my Ovate studies and prepare for the work of the final grade, I have completed the inscription, adding //// Straif and /// Ngetal, which represent adversity and cleansing respectively. 2022 taught me a lot about what I needed to let fall away to step into myself more completely, and now I can carry those lessons with me both literally and figuratively.
