Signs of Druidical Inclinations by Mike the Fool, 2010
• If you think the two Basic Tenets address a neglected part of your spiritual quest… • If you think there is more going on behind tangible reality… • If a sunrise gives you hope… • If you don’t feel alone in the woods or by the seaside… • If you see a bird feeding its chicks, and think of your children’s upbringing… • If you’ve ever watched the shadow of a tree slowly rotate around the base or sat long enough to see the stars spin during a night…. • If you’ve ever thought twice about pruning a tree or cutting the grass… • If you’ve ever thanked your meal for its sacrifice… • If you’ve ever greeted a tree or a rock… • If fall makes you think of death, winter makes you dream of stories, spring brings thoughts of renewed life and summer is a frisky time… • If seeing an owl tearing apart a mouse, gives you a moment of reflection on your own mortality… • If you get a warm chuckle at mankind’s hubris and vanity in matters of religion… • If you’ve been taught “right and wrong”, but wish to follow a honorable path for reasons other than threats or bribes... • If you know that while there are differences, there is also common ground in all faiths to work together… • If you ever wondered where was the reverence for Nature in her own right… • If you thought the creation part of Genesis was a bit skimpy… • If you’d like to ask folks some hard questions and take away some frank answers… • If you’ve wondered why people pray inside concrete boxes… • If environmentalism means more than recycling beer cans… • If you’ve ever felt the pulse of power in a song or poem… • If you usually figure out the weather better than the news… • If you devoured books of mythology, magic and monsters… • If the idea of sitting around the fire all night with friends, food, folk music, a bottle of whiskey and fantastic stories sounds like “your kind of church”… • If you got a sense of humor that’s irrepressible… • If you’ve wondered how the peoples of ancient times felt about life, society, the divine and the arts… • If mandatory religious practice or belief disquiets you… • If you like to figure things out by mixing advice, research, trial and error and happenstance… • If you have the courage of opinion to stand by what experience has taught you… • If you sometimes lose track of the boundaries between religion, philosophy and culture… • If the thirst for knowledge and wisdom consumes you… • If you find an exception to every rule and a connection to every random fact… • If you’re interested in the Celts, but not averse to going farther afield in your studies to patch together a framework…. |
