I am the child of poetry,
Poetry child of reflection,
Reflection child of meditation,
Meditation child of lore,
Lore child of enquiry,
Enquiry child of investigation,
Investigation child of great knowledge,
Great Knowledge child of great sense,
Great Sense child of understanding
Understanding child of wisdom,
Wisdom child of the triple gods of poetry.
—12th c., Book of Leinster
Being a good ol’ American Mutt, a number of different influences currently inform my spiritual practices—probably more of them subconscious than I’d like to admit. The most obvious of these are Revival Druidry (OBOD-style), Waincraft, and Traditional Witchcraft. Druidry provides my spacial and temporal frameworks, Waincraft best describes how I interact with my Gods, the Vanir, and Witchcraft is the technology that pulls everything together.
Yes, I am syncretic. No, it’s not a dirty word.
The blog itself an outgrowth of my devotional site, The Druid’s Well, which mainly focuses on artistic pieces and more polished essays. The main reason for the change of venue is a desire for a much less formal forum in which to air my rambling thoughts on any number of subjects (hopefully while keeping in mind a core theme of spiritual exploration).
PS: The banner for the site is the summertime waters of Lake Boon, MA.
