Hi, all! Recently I stumbled across a pretty cool “30 Days of Paganism” meme that was apparently circulating the blogosphere back in the summer/fall of 2010… I was thinking of spending the month of August doing a kind of end-of-summer review and so I ended up borrowing this meme and tweaking it to fit my path in Druidry. I thought I’d share it hear, if anyone wanted to join me in blogging about their thoughts and experiences.
This is how it works: Each day, the meme provides a writing prompt for a topic or theme, and you update your blog or journal with a discussion (short or long!) about how that topic or theme fits into your Druidry. Some of the topics are pretty specific and obvious, while others are more open to interpretation. For instance, on Day 8 you would write about how you view Spirit/God(s) and what role they play in your Druidic beliefs and practices, and on Day 17, you would write about the relationship between Druidry and storytelling and myth. It’s that easy!
I won’t be starting until August, probably, unless it turns out I have time before then. I’ll be posting to my own spiritual diary, but I can also share my posts here if anyone’s interested. If several of us want to do the meme together, we can all share our posts here and view and comment on each others as the month goes on.
So, without further ado, here’s the list:
