Connecting with Environments: Druids Experience Two Forested Hillsides

Connecting with the land in a group or as an individual can be an intense learning experience. Taking time to feel and experience the essence of a place can help us respect and work with its forces. As Druids and others communicate with one another regarding energies of the landscape, we can learn to conduct our rites, celebrations, and other magickal work in a way that respects the land and nurtures our spirits.

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.
