I've been quiet lately. I've always felt that this time of year was a time to give the Goddess and God a break. If you follow the myth, the time between Yule and Imbolic is the rest period. I haven't felt the need to really do anything.
I've decided to buy a few books on Celtic shamanism. I'm still waiting for them to come in. I've never been interested in Native American Shamanism. Something about it feels more serious(?) perhaps more in depth, I'm not sure. The sort of thing that can truely only be learned from an elder rather than a book. Whereas Celtic Shamanism feels a bit more relaxed due to its lack of a historic lineage to it. (perhaps I'm not making myself clear enough) So little seems to be known about Celtic Shamans, so few sources that to take it as serious as one one take the Native American; which has evolved over the ages with little or no interfearence from overpowering influences, to me seems almost false. I hope I'm not insulting too many people here.
So I wait. Like the Great mother waits with her newborn God child before reentering the world. I wish I could hybernate like a bear through all of this, but the real world won't let me.
