"Animism For Our Times" by James Nichol (August 21, 2023).
https://druidry.org/resources/animism-for-our-times
"...the word ‘Animism’ is now being turned around by people from the global north itself, spiritually hungry in our now palpably faltering 21st century world."

Sunflowers rule my yard in August. #Druidry #Colorado #August #Gardening #Sunflowers

Y'all inspired me to put it in the LV:
#LibroVeridi #BookOfShadows #grimoire #druid #Druidry #pagan #heathen #prayer #Odin
#libroveridi #bookOfShadows #grimoire #druid #druidry #Pagan #heathen #prayer #odin
This feels even better.
I love getting to fill the table of contents in as I write in LV. It might be my favorite part. It's like scratching that itch you can't usually reach, but for your brain.

#esoterik #deutschland
Ich bin seit meiner Geburt mit Esoterik aufgewachsen. Allerdings in einem außergewöhnlich positiven Kontext. Ich stecke da auch noch Knie-Tief drin und weiß was da so abgeht, und vielleicht interessiert ja jemand meine differenzierte Meinung. In den späten 90ern kam ich auf die Welt, nur einige Jahre nachdem meine Eltern zum #Heidentum / #Wicca / #witchcraft / #druidry konvertiert waren. Der üblich Nekeltische-Mischmasch halt... 🧵 1/?

August. The harvest season has shifted into full swing, the change in the time of sunrise and sunset is noticeable. The searing, unforgiving heat of July has given way to some cloudy days, some evening rain. The softer flowers gave way to tough sunflowers, which continue to bloom in waves of yellow and brown, in close proximity to the tightly fisted buds of the next wave. #August #Flowers #Gardening #Druidry #sunflowers

The fringed sage, Artemisia frigida, is a member of the wormwood family. It has an amazing eucalyptus type smell and reminds me of being at the Colorado Dragonfest Pagan retreat. Because it’s a native it supports native pollinators and other insects. Because it’s amazing when dried, and not endangered, and not a plant like white sage that should be reserved to the use of specific Indigenous groups, I collect some at the end of the season for my personal use. #Druidry #NativePlants #July #Gardening

Bee balm is a delightful native in the Mint family that I have not had flower until the generous rains of this year. Monarda fistulosa var. menthifolia is also called horsemint. It also attracts butterflies and is listed as having historical culinary and medicinal uses for Indigenous people in this region. #Druidry #NativePlants #July #Gardening

The Mexican hat or prairie coneflower is a lovely, drought tolerant native that helps make my urban front yard display some of the beauty of the region’s prairies and open spaces, and provide sustenance for native pollinators! Ratibida columnifera has has culinary and medicinal uses for Indigenous people. #Druidry #July #Colorado #NativePlants #SacredLandscape #Coneflower #Gardening

The native bluebells really came through this year and the rain made them tall. #Colorado #Druidry #July #NativePlants #Bees

Hidden amidst the tall bluebells and sheltered between an old juniper and an enthusiastic grape-holly I have a slender native rowan-mountain ash, Sorbus scopulina. It has loved our unusual rains this year and grew taller and thicker than any year prior. In the ogham the rowan is luis or flame. In modern Irish flame is lasair and rowan is caorthann.

My secret treasure is a hazel shrub, transplanted in the shade between houses at the end of a hedge. Beaked hazel is native here but has retreated to isolated populations in remote spaces. In the ogham as in modern Irish it is coll, friend of cracking. #Druidry #July #Gardening #ogham #Gaeilge #hazel ALT: an overhead shot of a hazel shrub with small, medium, and large leaves.

The plum tree is generously beautiful. In the Irish Materia Medica we find this: crann na mbulas, the bullace or wild plum. In modern Irish, crann plumaí. Our native plum is Prunus americana.

Consider the rose. Observe the beauty of its lustrous red petals. Imagine the danger awaiting the unwary who might grasp it, in the form of the sharpened thorns. Notice how this dual nature is reflected in you, and in creation.
Recognize that in all these cases, there is an ability to protect oneself.
Peace is a gentle city ringed with spears. This is the lesson of the rose and its thorns.

I guess now that I'm figuring out this platform I should do an #introduction
I'm a #pagan #witch and #druid who just married my husband, @CaptainSharky, late last year. We also have two rescue #cats. My pronouns are she/her and I have a #history degree and work as a substitute teacher. I'm also a #barbershop #chorus singer (though I'm on break from that right now) and a #501st volunteer costumer.
My spouse and I regularly attend conventions and enjoy #anime #cosplay #videogames #gaming #boardgames #dnd #jeeping #hiking and #zumba. I also enjoy #manhwa #manga #reading #curlyhair care and #weightlifting. I'm also a #furry!
I consider myself a #gaulishpolytheist, French-American Folk Practitioner, and #cottagewitch. I'm an #AODA (Ancient Order of Druids in America) Candidate, a #GCC (Gnostic Celtic Church) Novitiate, and an #ADF (A Druid Fellowship) member.
