Achievement versus Soul Integrity
As we walk the shamanic path, we are gathering our medicine and hopefully building strong, resilient medicine bodies. This can at times be a tedious process because it means that we constantly need to look within and sift through what is ours and what is not. Simultaneously, we have to do this within a state of emotional neutrality. This takes practise and patience, and in many ways is so contrary to our lifestyles these days where we have almost instant everything.
Lughnassad 2010
Bright Summer blessings to you and welcome to my blog and this first entry.
Last weekend some of the White Bone students and I (and some of our gorgeous kids) joined together under the trees and in the sunshine of the park to celebrate Lughnassad. This wonderful festival celebrates the Celtic Sun God Lugh as he honoured his foster-mother Tailtiu in thanks for her clearing the land for agriculture. The roots of her name come from the Gaelic meaning Mother Earth, so this celebration is in fact a way of giving thanks to our Mother Earth for providing us with the abundance of food, warmth, air and water that keep us alive.
