Summer Solstice and Ogam meditations

So I did my summer solstice ritual (ADF style) this week.  I don't usually celebrate it but because the ADF DP requires 4 ADF style rituals to be completed I decided to do those on the equinoxes and solstices because they were not promised to my household Gods.  I decided to do it near the ocean instead of the desert because (a) I just felt it was more correct to do it this way, and (b) because I couldn't go to the desert on that day.  It was certainly interesting and you can find the ritual here (ADF BLOG) since I decided not to add it to my website.  I do think however, that I want to explore doing a simple ritual to Manannán Mac Lír each year as I felt a bit of a connection that I would like to explore.  Of course it could just be that He was just acknowledging my presence there...who knows...

On Wednesday I finally finished meditating on the first aicme (BLFSN).  My interpretations in general agree with what I have read in Erynn Laurie's book.  I'm taking a break until Sunday from Ogam meditations to let things marinate in my mind a bit.  

Thoughts of Book Writing and Stuff

I've had a lot of my friends ask me when I'm going to write a book on my journey through Irish Polytheism.  I always say I'm not, I mean what qualifies me right?  But lately, because of a lot of issues that have come up I've been thinking seriously about it.  So here is what I thought I would do.  I would write the book, send it out to a few of my friends see the kind of reaction that I would get, then maybe think about publishing it if they (and I) think it has something to say...

My Ogam meditations are going well.  So far I've only done Beith and Lus and so far my own interpretations jive very much with what Erynn Laurie has in her book.

I've also been doing the Two Powers Meditation every night and will share that experience on my ADF Blog
