Hello again,
It’s the first time that I will just write down my thoughts and not analyze any specific topic. So, welcome to my thoughts! Please feel free to tell me what’s your opinion or contact me to discuss anything you want.
Every year around Mabon I feel a growing need to return to my spiritual studies. This urge grows and gets stronger until Beltane and then it disappears until next Mabon. A strange thing but that’s how it works for me. It’s like between Beltane and Mabon there is a resting period for me and my thoughts. That’s how the wheel of the year works for me so long.
Last year I started looking deeper in the Hellenic religion. Since then I have felt a connection with a divine power, stronger than I have ever experience it before. When I face difficulties or I need guidance I just ask the Gods of the Hellenic pantheon for their assistance and I always get their response. I understand that my communication with the gods is actually a deeper communication with myself. The gods are the manifestation of the divine power of the universe and each one of them can help us concentrate on what we need and help us achieve it. Or at least that is what I believe and how it works for me.
Last February I joined the Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids and since then I’ve been studying Druidry. Combining Druidry with the Hellenic Religion works just fine for me so long. The greatest thing about the Order is that it does not tell you in what to believe in. It just motivates and helps you finding out yourself. Another thing I enjoy is the fact that the teachings are about the philosophy, the ideas, the history, the spirituality and the practice of Druidry. Usually you’ll be able to find loads of stuff about the practical part of a spiritual path but not a lot about the philosophical background or the ideas behind it.
Along with my studies I am trying to get in touch with people interested in the path of Druidry or the Hellenic Religion. Like I’ve said before that’s very difficult in Greece since everyone interested in Paganism is hiding to avoid awkward situation with Christian fanatics. This task is difficult and is moving slower than an old turtle… Good thing is that I’ve find a few people who are like me and our fellowship is growing day by day.
So that’s all for now. I’ll try to post in a regular basis from now on and not annually. HeheheThank you for reading! I will be waiting for your emails…!
May the light illuminates your path!
Blessed be!
