#Ritualism

Genuine, joyful question.

I’ve met five Italian Lokeans in the last year alone. And many more Eastern Europeans. I love that I see so many of my cultural kin working within my fully trusted one’s likeness.

What led you to Loki? 

Does the animistic quality of Catholicism and shedding its overall framework still leave you wanting a sense of ritualism? Something more grounded in the grime and mycelium networks of the earth? Something you know you’ve intrinsically lost over the blueprint of the centuries? 

This is the crux of it for me.

Modern Druidry: An introduction to Groves.

While working on a post regarding the ushering of spring I felt it would be helpful to first write a short introduction to the subject of Groves. The concept of Groves has been a large part of the Pagan faiths all the way up to and during its current revival, and are an integral part of Druidic ritualism.

The term Grove in Druidic culture refers to a gathering, or clearing of trees, as well as rock formations that may provide natural seclusion. The space encompassed as a Grove is determined by both physical and non-physical factors such as the area's natural energy, a natural flow of energy such as a creek or pond, or conflicting energies from nearby grounds. Within each Grove there exists a Nemeton, a point of concentration that will determine the flow of energy through the grove, and act as the casting area for rituals and invocations. The Nemeton may sometimes manifest itself in a physical way which will be particular to each Grove, elder Oaks and rocks lined with various Minerals are two such indicators of a physical Nemeton.

The Grove should remain largely untouched aside from the clearing of pathways and areas of significance such as the Nemeton, which although not always located in the center will act as such, and should be decorated with the branches gathered from clearing to form a ring, and to divide the ring into fours with lines pointing North, South, East, and West. Other areas of significance may include natural idols both of the Grove and those created from the materials it offers, as well as areas of tiding meant for convening outside of ritual.

I used to staged fist fights with my friends in 711. We would actually punch each other and then end the fight by making out.

People were always really confused and shocked.

The employees didn't really care we were fighting and would laugh.

Years later some guy started a fight with me at a show and once we were grappling on the floor I instinctively started making out with him.

He immediately got up and left the show. Technically I have won every fight I've ever been in 💪

losing my mind over this a little bit. new type of guy.
