#introduction Hi everyone, I joined a while ago, but didn’t give it much a go, but want to now. All other social media pisses me off. I’m active in #Druidry with #OBOD Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids I #read a pretty wide genre of #books - both #fiction and #nonfiction . I’m from #uk but now live in #tasmania #australia. I’m a retired #mentalhealth #nurse and keen at #photography - pictures to follow. @chestas (my husband) and I both love to #travel
Needed my nature walk today.
If you haven't recently, I highly recommend listening to the earth for a bit, attuning yourself to the spirit of the world around you, and releasing your own to the wind.
The problems will still be there, but you'll be better equipped to handle them.
Have you ever poured a hot beverage as an offering? Tea? Coffee? Hot chocolate? Warm milk?
Since I never did an intro post and it's #FollowFriday here goes.
I work as a #roboticist currently helping to explore and protect the oceans, but spent most of my career in #IndustrialRobotics. I'm very active in #MedievalRecreation, care a lot about #SocialJustice and the #Environment. I started a #GirlScout troop for my daughter and friends.

Interesting article in the Grauniad today on the Reformed Druids of North America, and groups like Ar nDraiocht Fein who derived from that original college group.
I like how this branch of Druidry began as a student protest against mandatory religion in college - a pretty radical secular vision of Druidry that seems particularly relevant today.

Das Licht ist zurückgekehrt! Gesegnete Wintersonnenwende!
The light has returned! A blessed winter solstice!
It finally arrived! Looking forward to digging into this book over the solstice weekend.
Here's the third batch of DIY tree oracle cards I've drawn, featuring the lovely long acorns of the evergreen Holm Oak!
This feels like a good place to stop, for now, as I've drawn all of the local trees I'm familiar with. At some point though, I'd like to add more cards to cover the trees I only see further away from where we live.

What is Solarpunk? Why does it matter? In this series we discuss Solarpunk as a movement within art, literature, and activism. We explore its themes and talk about what separates it from its genre peers. Each episode explores a writing prompt set in a Solarpunk aesthetic with examples and inspirations from our world today.
Headed out to get a Solstice tree later today. I have mixed feelings about killing a tree for this purpose (haven't done this for decades), but my partner wants one, so if the tree is angry I hope it will talk to her about it and not blame me too much.
Years ago (2006!) I wrote a little blog post about the origins of the Christmas tree. Some Christian saints are credited with starting the tradition. Spoiler: they didn't. But they did kill trees.
#Introduction post:
Hi, I'm River! I've just moved to pagan.plus from another mastodon instance.
I'm a queer non-binary trans #witch with a background in #druidry, but I'm currently walking a witchy path guided by Hekate and inspired by folk magic.
I have a degree in theology with a specialisation in the psychology of religious experience, and in my day job I'm a university librarian.
I love spending time in nature, cooking, writing poetry, and listening to music - mostly but not exclusively of the metal variety.
I'm also obsessed with the games #BaldursGate3 and #DragonAge #TheVeilguard, and will talk about them at length to anyone who will listen.
I'm kinda selective with my follows/followers, but I'm looking forward to getting to know the community on here.
More DIY tree oracle cards! I enjoyed drawing the fancy trunks and bark on the Giant Sequoia and London Plane. Very pettable bark imo
Also, I couldn't resist including the stylish purple Norway Maple cultivar (Crimson King, I think?) as well as the regular green one in the card for that species. I do love a dramatic dark tree (also a big fan of copper beech for this reason)!
Here is my updated #Solarpunk / #Permaculture / #Resiliency / #Hackerspace / #Makerspace / #RightToRepair / #LibraryOfThings list. I've included descriptions along with the account names. So many good accounts, I decided to alphasort for this round. Suggestions welcome!

These are the first batch of DIY tree oracle cards I've made. I'm really enjoying the process - connecting with each tree, thinking about the characteristics of the species, but also the characteristics of the specific individual trees I see on my walks. Would definitely recommend this kind of project to anyone trying to deepen their connection with their local trees!
"A History of Irish Magic" - the softcover is not to my taste but the hardback looks gorgeous. This book looks like a real gem.
