Welcome to a more or less Celtic Reconstructionist blog, where love of the Old Gods is still strong. Montag, 19. November 2012. Scientific Sunday: Marcel Mauss's The Gift. Welcome to the second installment of Scientific Sunday. Today’s post will focus less on the scientific text, but rather on some thoughts I had while reading, concerning the Eddas and Loki in particular. But first, some words to the author of today’s text are in order:. 8220;the recipient is in a state of dependence upon the donor”...

http://mists-of-manannan.blogspot.com/2013/01/altars-101.html
Welcome to a more or less Celtic Reconstructionist blog, where love of the Old Gods is still strong. Freitag, 11. Januar 2013. For the second “A” of this year’s Pagan Blog Project, I decided to write about altars, since quite a few introductory books on diverse pagan paths tell you to build an altar, but some don’t seem to mention what you should do with your altar once you have it. So today, I’m going to give a short and not-too-serious introduction to altars! 1) Invite your deity into your home! ItR...

Welcome to a more or less Celtic Reconstructionist blog, where love of the Old Gods is still strong. Donnerstag, 26. April 2012. Is Irish important for CR? In today’s post I’d like to explore the issue of language in a recon faith. Should we learn the language of the culture that our Gods and Goddesses stem from? What about older stages of this language? For me, using Irish in ritual has a totally different feeling (see my post about my Imbolc ritual. 8221; think of it this way:. 8221; We don’t hav...

For my first “G” post in the Pagan Blog Project. I’d like to address one of the fundamental distinctions in the Celtic world, namely that of giamos. Kondratiev (2003: 88) agrees when he notes that “fire and water are of primary ritual importance in Celtic tradition, representing the polarity of samos and giamos.” So maybe th...And is thus t...

Quite a lot of religious people of any denomination choose to wear symbols of your faith, either permanently or for special occasions – e.g. a hammer when you’re a Heathen, a cross when you’re a Christian, etc. Helena Bonham Carter - this is the box I'd happily be put into.

Today, I read a very thought-provoking post by The Domestic Witch. About the Goddesses Eostre. I perfectly understand how much it can affect you when something you believed to be valid is shown not to be so. So it got me thinking – how can we as pagans make sure to prevent this from happening to us? After all, there. Obviously, in the case of Easte...
