Snowdrops teaching for the light, photographed in our neighbourhood today. New life springing in the footsteps of the Goddess. What a beautiful, magical time!

Lighting a candle and declaring the return of the light to the four quarters during the druid winter solstice rite of Alban Arthan is a powerful experience.

A Blessed Solstice and Julfest to all! 💫🔥

The part of the tree that is above ground is nourished by unseen roots that plunge deep into the darkness of the earth. Likewise, may this darkest of seasons be a period of respite and renewal, where we put down strong roots of intention and aspiration.

As the sun sets, an offering of yew and heather for the approaching Freya-Frigg’s Day.

The way extends only as far as your current step. Don’t be afraid of walking guided by your own intuitions. The Gods are in every heartbeat, every breath, every kiss of sunlight and drop of rain. They are ebb and flow, flux and motion, so live the ancient lore without rigidity.

There is a deep magic that many of us have been aware of for as long as we can remember. It has whispered to us since the beginning, resonating with some innate sense of an ancient lore we were never taught but which is etched into every part of who we are.

With the conclusion of the rite of Druid initiation, I stand before my Gods and in the company of the ancestors, affirming by the words of the rite that I shall honour them and continue their stories in my own. May the Gods inspire and guide us all!

So I am preparing for my initiation rite this week as I join myself to the Isle of Wight Order of Druids; a simple but meaningful ritual. My ancestry is both Celtic and Norse and thus I acknowledge this beautiful marriage of forebears and traditions that led to me, here, now.

Hail Freya-Frigg on Freya-Frigg’s Day!

From within the roiling mist
I hear her song,
Like a needle
In my flesh to sew
Within it the tapestry
Of her lore;
And once complete,
Reveals naught that
Was not before
Woven within my bones
By ancestral art,
Wyrd-weavers,
Roots of the Tree.

@TJ1001 I'm not a pagan or a druid, but I have sympathy for their beliefs and I hope some understanding too. The way you talk about "outrage for a lump of stone" tells me you have not grasped the meaning of sacred sites in these religions. If you were to dedicate a church, or a mosque it would mean more to followers than causing possibly minor damage to a building, it's the same with sacred sites.

It seems strange to me that *Just stop oil* should target Stonehenge just before the solstice. Pagans and druids are usually sympathetic to environmentalism. Will they also target churches before Christmas and Mosques before Eid?

I wonder if George Lucas wrote the #Jedi with #Druidism in mind. The belief systems are very similar.

I got some Impossible Nuggets on a whim, and they really do taste chickeny! Love the burgers, too.

Does anyone know of any cruelty-free dairy/eggs brands that are usually sold in supermarkets (in thes US)? I'm really trying to adhere to the practice of non-violence. Also, I only use Instacart to shop, because I'm disabled.

I will look this info up, myself, as well. I just wanted to hear from real people first. 🖤
