Not much to talk about this week, as I mentioned in an earlier entry July and August are the slowest period of the year for SLG. Today was our scheduled social event for...
It's that time of the every-four-years once again. The time when I'm going to stay up way too late every night for two weeks because there's just so much to see and it...
So I just got back from Lughnasadh, well from visiting Gen's family after Lughnasadh so please do excuse the lateness of the post, as well as the brevity because I really don't...
We ADF Druids all have an interest in ancient artifacts, as part of our study of the ancient cultures that we seek to emulate. Most of us don't own any ancient artifacts,...
Every summer, the natives flee as the hordes descend upon our local area, to rampage across the landscape, pillaging and plundering and spending $5 for a small lemonade. ...
The period between the Summer Solstice and the beginning of September is always a slow time for our Grove. Our regular meetings in July and August always have a low...
(Yes, it's a repeat, originally written for the Yule 2001 issue of Shining Lakes News. Sorry, I was busy writing other things this weekend. And I thought it would...
Like most preteen boys, I was guilty of searching my house for the things that my parents kept hidden away so we children wouldn't be exposed to them, and I found them, and I...
Well, gosh, don't I feel all wet Almost literally. The weather forecast said that there would be scattered thunderstorms yesterday afternoon, and scattered thunderstorms today...
After having lunch with my own personal father today, I thought I’d write about my other father, our Grove’s tribal father god, Lugh. Then it occurred to me that the...
It’s been five months now since I started writing this blog, and I’m not sure what to make of things so far. I’m happy with the quality of most of the articles...
As I’ve been doing my floral deliveries around the area, it’s been hard not to notice how many irises have been blooming recently. Partly because irises are so beautiful,...
I'm finding it very hard to write much of anything this week, when my thoughts are three hundred miles away, thinking of Wellspring and wishing that I were there. The...
So after a lovely afternoon session of discussing ADF and SLG over overpriced Chinese food with a few interested folks, I'm back here at home ready to type this week's blog...
(Those of you who expected new material this week either forgot where I work, or forgot it was Mother's Day. If you forgot it was Mother's Day, shame on you. ...
Only once in our Grove's fifteen year history (is fifteen years long enough to call it 'history'?) have we postponed a High Day rite for rain. It was Beltaine of 1997, and...
During the two weeks before one of our High Day rites, I usually get several e-mails and phone calls from new folks who only just found out that we exist and that we do public...
The warmth of spring has well and truly arrived here in the Ann Arbor area, and so I turn to the thing I always do when the warmth gets here: I go inside and write. ...
The wheel of the year turns, and where it was once snowy and cold, now it is rainy and not quite as cold. Hurray for spring in Michigan! And now our thoughts turn to...
Even though I've lived in the Ann Arbor area (more or less) for the last 35 years, somehow I've never managed to attend any of the Ann Arbor Pow-Wows held at Crisler...
(Assisting folks with school projects and handling hospital counseling issues have eaten up my writing time this week, so I'm posting an article I wrote for Shining Lakes News,...
This past week was quite stressful. Lots of late days at work, which meant late nights preparing ritual items and orders of service, which in turn meant little sleep for...
Warm spring temperatures bring the thawing of the snow, and soon flowers will pop their heads up out of the ground, and so will folks who are interested in coming to one of our...
In 2007, I was interviewed twice by local reporters, first for the Detroit Free Press in June, and then for the Ann Arbor Observer in December. It was a great way to get...
The wheel of the year keeps on turning, the sun rises earlier every day (and wakes me up, blast it), the snow on the ground turns to, um, slushier snow... Yes, spring is...
