Deity Affinity

Recently, I have felt an awakening inside. Something tugging on my spirit. And it almost feels right.

I say that I am a spiritualist - yet, I don't relate to religion at all. I don't like the pomp, the circumstance, the show of organized religion. I am beginning to believe that maybe just finding a personal relationship with the divine universe would suit me fine. The Mother Earth. The Goddess inside. I can truly see a personal alter stashed in my corner, casting my circle, calling the elements, feeling a rise in energy from the very air that surrounds me. I'm sure my husband would look at me funny if I told him any of this.

I'm considering following a nature-based pagan dogma.

I'm feeling stirrings from Brigid - the Celtic Goddess of Fire, Blacksmiths, Wells, Springs and Poets.

I'm an Aries - pure fire sign if there ever was. Blacksmiths work with iron and steel - hardened metal and strength - forged in fire, tempered by water. Wells and springs nourish our bodies and quench our thrists. They also wash away the ills and negativity of the everyday fuck-yous that accumulate. Is there anything more cleansing than a nice long hot shower?

And of poets....that I am, that I always have been.
