The Spiral Path
By Rebecca SerVoss
Celtic Pagan. I keep hearing those words thrown about the various forums I haunt. And, having just gotten back from vacationing in Ireland, it seems to be a theme. I try to pay attention to those kinds of things. So, I'm mulling all this over and checking one of those forums I mentioned, when what do I see? But a really great article on Celtic reconstructionism, with a great link. Finally, a site that isn't just fluff. And in reading around I found a few more choice articles to read. It's like everything I've come to as a personal set of ideas and beliefs is echoed in these electronic paragraphs. Another light switch flips. Of course I'm not ready to just run off and say, "I'm Aurrad!" but having a name, and a place to start researching helps. More over, I feel more grounded. It's difficult to know you believe in...something but not have to words to adequately describe it. So now it seems I have my work, or rather research, cut out for me. What I know so far: the believe in justice, animism, pantheism, family, and poetics I like. I find my belief in local spirits honored; a hard thing to find in many neo pagan ideologies when you think cities are alive. And I have a few books to locate. Since Samhaine is coming, and it figures in with this whole Celtic bend (being one of four major religious holidays), that's where I'm headed. I'm thinking maybe some poetry or some labyrinth work. Or maybe both. It's good to feel like I'm not treading water anymore. Let's hope I don't drown. Beca |
