Exploring spirituality somewhere between the Emerald Isle and the Black Land....

The Ebb and Flow

Some of you may have noticed how sparse my posting has been this year. I've been in kind of a weird place spiritually. Not a bad place, certainly... just a different one.

Sometimes the focus of my practice is laser-sharp, sometimes not so much. And lately I've been in the "not so much" place. I don't really know how to describe it other than to say that it's been feeling kind of... open-ended? I still have my shrines, I still have my gods, my practice. I just feel like right now I don't need to keep up with the daily rituals, like I don't always need to be "on" in the way I was before. Unfortunately, a side-effect of this is that I don't really have the inspiration to keep up with this blog as much as I did before. But that's fine. If there's one thing I learned from my nearly two decades of being Pagan, it's that these things, for me at least, are always changing. It becomes center stage and then fades into the background. There's a lot of reasons these cycles occur, and this time it's because I feel the need to focus on other things in my life at the moment. It has happened often enough for me to know that the cycle will come around again, and I'll be back in my Super Pagan headspace eventually.

I'm telling you all of this just to let you know that I'm not going anywhere. This blog may remain somewhat silent for a while, but I have no intention of abandoning it. I'll be back in full force some day. I'm just not sure when.

Until then, peace and senebty.
