This isn't really a piece of druidic wisdom in any way but I definitely think the "gandalf big naturals" meme captures the spirit of Odin far better than any vikingbro meme has ever accomplished.

Good Saturn's Day. America's most recent winter storm has littered our local ground in a sheen of white. Take some time today to acknowledge the season AND get a good midday nap in.

Good Moon's Day.

I have been slow even on this channel to make politics a central factor of the message. But that is ridiculous. Capitalism within its very core, despite those who claim it as being "natural", fights against all natural tendency of humankind. The body is tired when it needs to be done with work. Yet the capitalist work day is 8 hours, pushing past any reasonable end time for work in nature. Interacting with the forest and trees and non-human-made world naturally causes the body to destress and yet we are expected to sit in cubicles and buildings all day. And even when we are in buildings we are expected to focus entirely on work instead of the natural desire to talk and dance and eat when we are around others. There is nothing natural about capitalism or the contorted, warped forms of agriculture, creation, and so-called "civilization" it has birthed.

The state only arches its back when it is losing control. The people are seeing through the illusion of domestication and civilization. Earth-based spirituality is returning. Narratives are being questioned. They cannot convince the people that capitalism and gender are natural, and so they must be imposed.

You are animal.

Remember it.

I know the world is a scary place right now. I ask nothing but that you take courage. Spring is coming.

Blessed Imbolc.

Unless that function involves the outdoors and a bonfire. Please invite me to these functions.

I endeavor to be more like Snuffkin.

In the past few days I have felt very disconnected from it all. I've been on the road more than at home and such an extended period of in between has schismed my sense of unity with things around me. And in consideration of the concrete jungle that I have been driving through it is becoming more and more important that I recognize that the urban spirits are nature spirits too.

To be druid is to recognize the concrete gnomes as just as important as those of the rolling hills, to see the spirit of the lamppost as just as important as the spirit of fire. One can be a part of nature in places other than the forests, plains, mountains, and deserts.

I would like to find my forever home in such places one day. It is hard to see the spirits of nature in the suburbs even as I say they are here. But for now I will have to comfort myself in the idea that the urban druid is just as valid.

At this point in American history you could wear a Doctor Doom mask to a protest and be considered to be promoting socialism because the stereotypical face of tyranny and despotism in comics since 1962 is less tyrannical than the bastard in office.
