Basic Info| Name: | Rowan MacGregor |
|---|
BioI'm a member of the ADF and I'm currently working through its Dedicant Program. This is the journal of that journey. Because no spiritual journey can be separate from ones life I will also post about my daily experiences.
General Info about Me:
My craft/pen name is Rowan MacGregor and I live on two acres of overgrown oak savanna in the Midwest (US) with my husband and our daughter. My husband is a Land Steward with the Nature Conservancy, which explains why we live in the middle of nowhere Indiana. I practice Green Witchcraft and ADF-style druidry. I've been in the ADF (Ár nDraíocht Féin) for about 2 and a half years now and I've been practicing Green Witchcraft for upwards of eight years. My hearth culture is Scottish and my patron Goddess is Brighid.
I like to call my path "Hearth-Keeping" because it involves homey and "lower" magics more than "high", ritual magic. I do hold ritual on high days and make offerings to Brigid, but I suppose the nature of my patron goddess would make my practice more hearth centered LOL
I'm somewhat of a hippie, but an academic background in biology gives me grounding in reality. That is to say, I understand that the natural world isn't perfectly harmonious. Each creature strives for the largest share of resources- mice, oaks, sparrows and people are all equally selfish. It is the finely evolved *interrelations* between species and individuals that prevents things from going haywire. This continual push and shove between opposing desires creates the illusion of harmony and is, I think, the prefect example of the yin-yang philosophy.
I'm also an author, I've written a few things for various pagan magazines, including Circle Sanctuary's Circle Magazine. I'm currently working on a website that will act as a resource for ecologically minded pagans.
As you can see from this journal, I'm REALLY bad at updating. I'll try to update more frequently, but my water nature carries me away for extended periods. If you need to get contact me and I'm not responding on LJ, please e-mail me at thatbiogeek@yahoo.com.
