Recently, I sent away to the Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids for a home study course that takes about three years to complete.
I have been in a search for a more "specific" path for my spirit. Being an "eclectic" pagan felt so scattered to me and my spirit feels scattered enough as it is.
This feels very right to me. This is the direction I yearn for.
I believe, I know that there is spirit in everything; in the trees, animals, in the waters and rocks. There is something there. They all have their own story.
I long for the knowledge of what my ancestors may have believed and values before Christianity set about wiping out our cultural memory.
I am always is a quest to learn more about this world and the history of "my story" , which to me, means my ancestors' stories
I started a new tradition
I plan to set out some kind of house/feeder/waterer/protection etc for the birds and the squirrels each spring equinox.
Here are some pictures of what I set out today.
The purple square house is installed on the side of the wood shed. I am planting hardy kiwi below where it is, so I hope that it will have a neat green camouflage come summer.
