That may be the third thing of it - out of relationship comes both a responsibility and the ability to fulfill that responsibility.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883567827950405204.post-11433069415648174042009-09-04T15:07:47.960-04:002009-09-04T15:07:47.960-04:00Pom and David, Thanks for leaving comments here! I...Pom and David, Thanks for leaving comments here! I'm not sure exactly how reader commenting works over at the Pagan Pages site, so it's nice to be able to respond personally to your thoughts.<br /><br />David, I feel as though I'm still very much working through the specifically Druidic aspects of a lot of what I talked about in the article. Working through the AODA program of study, I guess I consider myself deep in the midst of my Ovate studies (my focus for the Second Degree). Whereas poetry and music are things I've done all my life and I have a good understanding of how aesthetic theory relates to practice there, I am only just beginning to learn how landscape, ecology and psychology relate to things like dream work, healing, divination and other energy working.<br /><br />So what I think I'm saying is... I don't know yet. :) I have some intuition and hunches about what the relationships might be--directions to go in, things to explore--but for now, I'm feeling my way along, trying to keep theory grounded in practice without letting mere practice overtake my understanding of what it is I think I'm doing.... if that makes any sense. ;) It seems to me, though, that both healing (and its broader category of magic) and seership (or journey-/dreamwork) must be founded in a healthy and well-established understanding of relationships and patterns in nature: in the body, in the land, in the currents of history and causality. And just like not all poetry is in rhyming iambic, I have a feeling that much of healing and seership do not come in forms of overt mystical occurrences like hallucinatory visions or miraculous recoveries, but are more subtle in their expression.... But that's just a guess!Alihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01738190874181111086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883567827950405204.post-86610735869206359442009-09-04T10:38:09.950-04:002009-09-04T10:38:09.950-04:00Interesting post and beautifully written for sure....Interesting post and beautifully written for sure. The third way (bardic section) has some supports in the ballad of Thomas the Rhymer (the road to Elfland) and in Fiona Macleod's Orchil prose poem (the weft of eternal beauty). I also liked the way you wove the third thing into coming into sacred space. Ovates though were doers - seers and healers and so I wonder how you personally see the relation to Other space with seeing and healing?<br /><br />Blessings,<br />DavidAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883567827950405204.post-33779382222926654472009-09-03T23:55:08.995-04:002009-09-03T23:55:08.995-04:00I've added it to my feeds.
