Just trying to enjoy what time I have left on this rock.
A very blessed Beltane to all those who celebrate it. /|\

The rain here decided to get in on the celebrations. So it’s still joyous, just a bit wet.

I know it may have only been fake spring # 12 for the year. But I really enjoyed the temp getting up to 76°F this afternoon. Too bad it’s already back to 62° and expecting another 10° drop

I don't want to be on ghastly x anymore but it's where a lot of my sales come from so this post is a brazen request for shares to spread the word about my work on a kinder platform that isn't run by a dangerous megalomaniac!

I managed to finally break out of the office & wander through the woods during lunch. I made it to heart of the woods away from the open trails. It was so relaxing just standing in the middle of the woods listening to the trees as they rocked back & forth in the wind
I needed it after this last week

It is quiet in the office today, so there were no complaints for taking a little longer during break to linger in the woods and recenter. It was quiet except one or two Bluejays calling in the distance.

I wonder how big of a crystal I can get for my rush hour commute? 🤔
Witch Tip of the Day: Place a small crystal, like amethyst or black tourmaline, in your car to absorb negative energy and promote calm during travel. Recharge it under the moonlight to keep the energy clear and positive.

I love the magical feeling of walking through the woods on a trail of damp leaves & needles to help silence one’s steps. Being alone in the woods with only the sounds of the wind in the trees, squirrels scurrying around, & the last remaining birds singing to the woods is refreshing for the soul.

There is only one reason I like this cold season. The bald eagles start congregating along the open parts of the river as the rest freezes over.

It was cold but I finally managed to get out into the woods at lunch (I’ve kept out this last week because abhor the cold). It was oddly quiet with only 1 squirrel active and a few ducks off in the river. But I did get some time to recenter myself a bit.

Ok that was… an experience. After work, walking out to my car by the woods in the dark I heard a fox cry out. I’ll admit it freaked me out at first before I placed the sound. I’d never heard one live, only through videos. Just wondering when my heart rhythm should return to normal.

Greetings BlueSky Druid Grove /|\
I am working on the Bardic path of OBOD. I currently live in the midwestern USA. I started w/ Wicca back in the late 80’s, eventually migrated to Ásatrú but some aspects just felt wrong. Last year I came across Druidry which just “felt like coming home”

Even in the cold, I love getting out to these woods by my office whenever I get the chance. My walk through the woods is more to refresh my soul than to get any exercise. So glad I can frequently reconnect with nature, even if it’s only for 10 minutes at a time. /|\

New here for this account. Using this one to separate my spiritual interests from my main account.

Looking forward to connecting with people that follow the old ways.
