Sometimes though that just doesn't work and I'll force myself to write through it, even if I feel totally uninspired, and go back later and edit or re-write to improve it. (less)

There are a couple CR organizations like Gaol Naofa and Sinnsreachd that I am aware of that exist as in person groups, as well as some Druid groups like Ord na Darach Ghile that are Cr specific or ADF which are CR friendly. And of course there is usually a CR social media presence. (less)

7 Things About Irish Mythology

 Today I thought it would be good to cover some points about Irish mythology that are important for people interested in the subject to know. These include common confusions as well as helpful tips and I hope people will find it all interesting. Of course for some readers this won't be new information but for others it may be the first time they're seeing these ideas, so I'm trying to cover a

Quotes by Morgan Daimler  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“We hear her voice in the pounding of our own pulse, in the cry of the raven, and in the wild wind.”
Morgan Daimler, The Morrigan: Meeting the Great Queens

“Our ancestors have a vested interest in our wellbeing and so are more easily motivated to intercede for us and also are more closely connected to us.”
Morgan Daimler, Irish Paganism: Reconstructing Irish Polytheism

“The concept itself likely grew out of the depiction of angels and devils in artwork, as well as human souls, that showed them winged. This would have naturally lent itself to the need for a visual aid to help an audience identify a character as Otherworldly. And while angels had bird wings and demons had bat wings fairies took on insect like wings, paralleling the wider associations growing between fairies and insects across this period”
Morgan Daimler, Pagan Portals - 21st Century Fairy: The Good Folk in the new millennium

“I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately...”
Henry David Thoreau

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
Theodore Roosevelt

“If there's a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it.”
Toni Morrison

“Start writing, no matter what. The water does not flow until the faucet is turned on.”
Louis L'Amour

“It does not do to neglect the gods of a place, whoever they may be. In the end, they are all one.”
