A Good and Meaningful Labor

Written By Teo Bishop, Published on June 16, 2013 ·
20130616-220928.jpg
First, I’d like to offer my thanks to those who participated in last week’s “Shared Gnosis” posts. While it was a shorter series than originally planned, it still allowed for meaningful discussion around our own take on the SDF liturgy. The coming Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere is sometimes called the Feast [...]

“I hate trees. Ok, so I don’t actually hate them, but most of the time, when I am speaking to other Pagans and Witches (terms which I use interchangeably to describe myself), I find I must make this strong a statement just to get my point across.” There is the sense that in order for [...]

Shared Gnosis: Re-envisioning the SDF Liturgy, Part 3 – Earth Mother

On June 13, 2013 By Teo Bishop
earth mother
According to the Encyclopedia Britannica the “Earth Mother, in ancient and modern nonliterate religions, is an eternally fruitful source of everything. Unlike the variety of female fertility deities called mother goddesses, the Earth Mother is not a specific source of vitality who must periodically undergo sexual intercourse. She is [...]

May all that hinders me be released, May all the binds me be released, May the outdwellers of my heart Be released, That I may be made pure. This is the language of the Purification portion of the SDF liturgy. There are a variety of reasons that purification is involved in SDF’s liturgies, the primary [...]

The Solitary Druid Fellowship is centered around a shared practice. We celebrate the High Days using, for the most part, the same words. But over the next week I’m interested in exploring the places where our words are unique and distinct. As Dave Christy described in his post, Continue Reading →

My name is David Christy; I am an interfaith chaplain, psychotherapist in training, and student of the Great Turning. I’m a multifaith practitioner, Buddhist and Pagan, with an underlying animistic view. I have an MDiv from Naropa University, and I’m midway through a PsyD program at Sofia University. In my work I explore the intersections of psychology and spirituality, [...]

The Solitary Response to the Pagan Festival Season

On May 23, 2013 By Teo Bishop
formulapuff - introvert and extrovert
Pagan festival season has begun in the Northern Hemisphere. Pagans across the country gather in parks, campgrounds and in wide open spaces to… well… do the things that Pagans do. There will be rituals, workshops, communal meals and fireside bardic circles. There will be Wiccan gatherings, Druid gatherings, and the ever-so-eclectic Pan-Pagan gatherings, and at [...]

Be A Seer for the Fellowship: The SDF Group Omen

On May 4, 2013 By Teo Bishop
May Cross Quarter Group Omen
The Solitary Druid Fellowship is still in its infancy. Our traditions are young. We are still planting our roots, and discovering who we are as a diasporic group of solitaries.

A Relevant Solitary Practice: Post-High Day Dialogue

On May 2, 2013 By Teo Bishop
beltane snow
Beltane arrived, and with it came a great deal of snow. Colorado is like that, defiant of the calendar. Needless to say the pep and gusto of spring escaped me as I put on a layer of wool and watched the white rain cover up the green. Yesterday was the calendar day for observing the High [...]

The SDF May Cross Quarter High Day Liturgy and Devotionals

On April 23, 2013 By Teo Bishop
The earth from above
The wheel turns. The seasons shift, and we celebrate our connection to the earth. In the North, things are beginning to grow. That which was planted early may already be showing through the dirt. For some (like those of us in Colorado) it still looks very much like winter, with snow falling to the ground [...]
