My Path

This past weekend I went camping with the Feather River Grove up near Chico, Cal.  It was a long way home for me but not that bad a drive all together. I had company,great company actually, in a friend that lives along the way in Sacramento. It was all together about a 400+ mile trip in my little miata two seater, an 18 yearold car that I absolutely love and adore. I took lots of pictures, mostly of the baby that was there for the one night we stayed. I am actually importing them as I type. Beutifl campsite that used to be a ghost town but is slowly being converted into an Nemiton, if I'm spelling that right, for the Feather River Grove. Blackberry bushes are everywhere so you have to be careful about where you pitch your tent. Ours was HUGE compared to everyone elses, we probably could have had everyone in our ten and still have room to spare. It was just the two of us alas, in the big tent so it was a little chilly in our sleeping bags, or at least I was chilly. Bonnie was ...

I was supposed to put this out over two week ago but...if you haven't figured out by now, I am a bit of a procrastinator. I love to wait until the last minute and get things done. If not as well as I would like than at least done the minimum requirement. I have actually been thinking it over for a long while, its a very important step to make an oath to someone. Be they Gods, Spirits or people you see every day. On the scale of promises the oath is the most important, have vivid and deep consequences if not taken seriously. Actually the best explaination of the importance of the promise, vow and Oath came from a story I read not long ago. Yes its from a Fanfiction but it still rings true: " Sarah sighed. "Her father had just left us, and she wanted to know how he could do that… there was this man in      the tale taking an oath to love forever…and I had to explain the difference between a promise, a vow and an oath." The Fae man listened carefully. "So...

DP Through the Wheel of the Year Week One      I said I would post this on Thursday but if you know me well enough you were probably expecting this either today or tomorrow. I just have a horrible habit of procrastinating till the last minute so only a day late is a triumph for me, be grateful for little miracles. I have written about 4 entries, very short ones but they were written on the dates inscribed. I did not write everyday but I did try for at least 7  entries total only missing 3 of the 7. I'll try to be more consistent this week.      The first entry was actually written on the ninth but I wrote down the date on the eighth, go figure, and procrastinated till the next evening.      I did all the 'required' reading and answered the following questions over the last week, but I won't be done with them. I probably will add to them or just write comments pertaining to them as I go along. The questions are as follows:...

not thoughtless exactly...just a little bit lazy. I haven't posted in a bit and I am very sorry about that. Things have been in a bit of a whirlwind these last few weeks. I officially am a part of a Druid organization, ADF, and will be starting thier dedicant program in the next week or so. I have a written version of my DP Journal but will be posting them in a weekly chunk, hopefully, which makes sense because the program really is weekly lessons that you write on during the week in question. The requirements for the DP are met through a yearlong, ideally, work book that is available on the website when you become a new member. It really gives you lots of research to do and thoughts to think as you decide your own druid path. Right now I am in the first week, starting last Thursday so look forward to a longer post on Thursday of this week. This week is labeled appropriately, Personal Religion and an Introduction . Dangler, the author, begins with the basic question of why you have...
