Lately I have been reading and thinking about the Celts.  I am still trying to figure out what about them is for me, why the pull?  You know just writing that question has made me see what about them has pulled me towards their practices/traditions.  Their spirituality (I guess I should say some Celts spirituality, not sure if all shared these same ideas/beliefs) is the reason why I feel the pull.  It is a large subject and many people hold different views about the Celts, but from what I have read their spiritual beliefs blend well with mine.  Some don't blend so well my religion, but with me they do....... what do about that?

I really like the fact that women had a voice (and was not afraid to use it, Medb for example.  She used hers and did so quite eloquently.... in my opinion anyway.  I have yet to finish the story) and they were able to fight in battles.  Now I am by no means saying I would be the first to go to war, but its nice to know that the option is open shall I chose so.  Um, may be it was different for princess and the sort.

Their love for places near bodies of water.  Oh my goodness, I almost felt out of my seat reading about that!  When I see places near water (or just a body of water) there is such a connection for me, that I must seat and listen to what its saying.  I just feel that there something there beyound me and this time.

The thought of not only caring for oneselve but for the whole community, resonates well with me.  By focusing on the home and helping to build/maintan its strength, you thereby allow yourself to reach your potential.  I have always been a believer in family (even when it was the pits... still is to some degree.  I hope to raise my son in a strong family), and everything starts from there so it should have a strong foundation.  For without it, everything else will crumble or at the very least it will have cracks that will need repair later on down the road......... until its fixed for good, hopefully.  

I don't know what this post is suppose to be about exactly, but these were my thoughts of late so I thought I would post it in my blog.  My mind has been going crazy during these Celtic studies, so much and my freaking mind is going crazy with awakening.

I have been trying to post a comment on your blog for last two days.  My stupid bootleg pc/dsl frezzes everytime I even look at your page.  I don't understand it, weird.

Anyway, I thought I would write the post here on my blog.  First, thanks for the reply to my intro... I am glad it was not boring and thanks for the well wishes.

I loved your newset post about your husband, it gives me hope for myself and a renewed outlook on the men of today.  I am bi-racial and my son more so, so I hope I will find the real man for me and my family. 

I had two miscarriages before having my son.  After the last miscarriage, it was a year and a half before I got pregnant with him.  I suffered from anovulation (and poor eating habits) through most of my teenage years and was finally put on birth control pills to have a normal cycle, some would last for 2 months!  Well I soon got tried of those things, and decided to change my living style and became active in hiking and turned into a health food addict ;)  I wouldn't eat anything that had ingredients that I could not pronouce or was not strictly naturally occuring in the earth...... yep limited my eating outside a whole lot.  Needless to say, I started learning how to cook/ making my own snacks and such.  It was a fun growing experience for me.  I was residing in Alexandria, Egypt when I went through all this, so I had to learn some Arabic to get around and find the shops that sold organic food.  But the good thing about that was, the junk food there is nothing like the US.  Not as many brands and not as tasty.  I don't know why I felt the need to tell you that story, but I hope it served a purpose.

Blessings

My first post in my blog, some much to say and yet I don't know what to write!  Well I guess I should start with the basics.

I am 25, divorced, mother to one little boy, born and raised in Austin, TX but currently aboard in the Middle East.  I have many hobbies amoung them are learning, sewing (hand and machine), knitting, cooking (love to bake more than cooking), surfing the net, hiking, 4 wheel riding, traveling, and many other things.

I am newish to my path.  How I begun my path is quite strange to me.  I had never heard of a Green Witch before the night I was awoken to a female voice telling me to arise green one, arise green one, arise green witch!  I was a bit freaked by this since I was deep alseep and am of an Abrahamic faith. Needless to say, the next morning I was on the net trying to find out what is this green witch stuff, and why of all people am I hearing this word in my sleep?!  My research proved fruitful and here I am.

I am not pagan but my spirituality is very much witchy, alternative, earth loving, hippie, or whatever you want to call it. I believe in magick, now to be confused with this new hocus pocus stuff.  I love the sabbats/ebsats, earth loving hippie side of me showing ;)  I always had a hard time explaining my bleifs and how they can all fit together, so I just to sum it I would say I believe in the earth and all that lives on it, around it, and far from it.  I think Mother Earth should be respected, loved, cherised, thanked, and admired..... amoung many other things.

Just to put another twist on my "different" (or so I am called) self, I am having Celtic pullings, drawings, interest?  Please if you have another word/s to suggestion to me for explaining this, pass it on.  I can't understand it, I am not Celtic by birthright nor do I know anyone with Celtic roots...... why am I having these feelings.  I think Celtic history is interesting and the culture beautiful, but these feelings are craving knowledge of everyday life, practices/traditions, history, etc.  They want to go places I have never looked before regarding the Celts.  Yes, I said they... they have a mind of their own. So fascnating, yet a bit weird.  Anyway, I decided to go with the flow and what I have read so far is just, WOW!  So much of the Celts meshes well my "religion" and spirituality, I never thought that could happen.  Some of their views about the world, places on the earth, and living style, complete some of my thoughts about these things.  A very subject to look into so I am taking my time with it.

Um, may be this was a bit much for an introduction.  Well at least its not boring, I hope.
