Working with Water

Water is life, and water is connection. The water we use to wash our dishes flows down the sink and into the pipes, eventually making its way to an area (the sea, or just any open space) where it evaporates. Those water molecules in the air get tossed around on the wind and through our weather, eventually raining back down on Earth somewhere. 

Winter Sowing with The Cailleach

Wild plants, native species, those that support biodiversity, are adapted to take care of themselves in their own spaces. Each one has its own history, has followed its own ancestors down the centuries, has its own friends and enemies. They are not pets, the Cailleach teaches. They are wild beings with winter traditions you know nothing about.  

Asklepios, Finest of Healers

To modern pagans, Asklepios is almost a forgotten god. Even among Hellenic pagans, his aid is not commonly sought and he receives few honors. To the ancient Greeks, however, the arrival of Asklepios was unreservedly welcome; his cult took hold immediately and grew quickly wherever it was introduced, making Asklepios a pan-Hellenic deity in a relatively short time. This was a god both wanted and needed–kind- hearted, helpful, and with a great interest in the welfare of humanity.
