I started this blog to document my new journey into Druidism. I don’t know much but I’m taking it slow. This will be like a spiritual journal
I have always felt like I was aimless when it came to the spiritual part of my life. I’ve always believed in a higher power but was never sure what that power was or how i felt about it. For a long time I’ve always felt a connection with nature and the environment. Anyone who knows me knows I love nature and am very interested in environmental science. My mother actually affectionately calls me a “Tattooed tree-hugging lesbian” which I wear with pride. The state of our planet has always been a concern and interest of mine.
Lately I have been feeling that connecting more. I unfortunately have graduated, yet to be able to get into grad school and I’ve been unemployed for over a year. I guess without as much daily life distractions, I was able to feel the yearning of a spiritual void.
As silly as it sounds, I thought of druidism because of D&D. At first it was a joke. If I were in D&D, I would be a druid, no doubt about it. But then I looked deeper. I found a rich spiritual lifestyle that really spoke to me. I have decided to pursue this feeling and really give druidism a chance.
Even if this doesn't stick and I end up not feeling that being a druid was right for me, I do feel like this journey will help me grow as a person and grow closer to The Earth.
I plan on celebrating the sabbat of Imbolc at the beginning of February. Seeing as it is a celebration that is focused on change, spring and new beginnings, I feel like its the perfect first sabbat to celebrate!
Thank you so much @theweepingwillowbird for inspiring me and helping me get a good start!
