We’re curious—which of the Gaulish dēwoi (deities) first sparked your interest? 👀

Calling all low energy, chronically (mentally/physically) ill, spoonie, disabled, etc followers of Cernunnos

Please excuse this break in the regular @blesscernunnos programming!

I'm chronically fatigued and mentally ill. I am essentially a spoonie as well. I am looking for advice on active worship and religious practice that is appropriately devotional towards Cernunnos/the gods/Dewoi but which takes into account the aforementioned health problems.

I'm scared that the Dewoi will see me as weak, lesser, and not sincere because of my limitations. I am looking for advice, experiences, and reassurance. I really appreciate any help, either via this post or message. Thank you.

“This chant is derived from an inscription on a 1st century BCE lead tablet found at Rom, Deux-Sévres (Roman Rauranum), in Western France, describing a ceremony carried out in honour of the Gaulish horse goddess, Epona. 

It consists of a number of names and titles given to Epona in late Iron Age Gaul, some of which are also found in the British Isles. Translating the names into English, the chant reads as follows: 

"Great Mare, Great Queen,  Horse Goddess, dear Epona, Battle Queen, Good Goddess, Powerful Mistress, to whom vows are made." This chant is one of several that form part of the Winter Wolf Healing Ceremony recreated for the Druid course of the British Druid Order. With thanks for inspiration: the Quileute people of the Olympic Peninsula; Kate Fletcher and Corwen Broch; Rhiannon, a.k.a. White Horse Woman. The form of the chant and the drumming are (C) Greywolf, 2019. The images and video clips are courtesy of Wikimedia Commons, Pixabay and Videvo.”
