So thankful for spaces that remind me the world is not entirely filled with hatred and vitriol. Today I sunk into my studies with #OBOD and felt such renewal.
#Imbolc is coming, and I am ready for the fresh start she brings.

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.

I've been looking forward to this since the end of season 1. #OBOD

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

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.

#FolkloreThursday: The #Celtic summer began with the #Beltane (‘bright fire’ or ‘lucky fire’) festival on May 1. `Beltane celebrates the start of summer, the crop and pasturing season. Although scholars are non-commital, many of us believe #Beltane honors the ancient continental #Celtic sun and healer God #Belenus.`

Some time ago, I shared with y'all the news that I'd had an article published in Touchstone, the magazine of #OBOD.
Today's #blog post is a portion of that article-- a #druid #meditation I devised during my Ovate studies. Do let me know what you think if you decide to give it a try!

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.

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...

CW: long post #introduction
a retroduction is in order for me. on mastodon in one incarnation or another for several years, it's much more noise now! expect slow posting/responding. requested membership here to keep myself enmeshed in this work, not to be pulled out of it by other activity in the fediverse, as valid as all those threads are. very excited to be here with y'all.
currently in bard training through #OBOD; druidry, #animism and rebuilding kinship with other are high on my priority list. also a seeker of #gnosis via #chaos magick techniques (with a firm rebuff to any edgelord antics), dirt sorcery of the Aidan Wachter paths, various podcasts like #glitchbottle, and an invested interest in intercultural exchange and appreciation regardless of traditional path.
am currently located near portland, and have been engaged as a friend of the #columbia #adf #grove.in the supposedly mundane realms, my sustaining work is in tech (cybersec and administration), and co-founding a worker cooperative has been immensely enriching in that journey. #labor is entitled to all it produces.
#sexwork is real work. all individuals are autonomous and have dominion over their own body. firmly anti-facist, anti-classist, anti-racist, anti-QT-phobic, and more.
