A Fresh Start A Druids New Year

A Fresh Start

We have endured much together as a country and a world. Now its time to write this. To encourage people,

to give a ray of hope . Challenges have been great for the last 4 years not just in America but around the world. As Pagans and Druidfolk  we can buckle down take care of the planet and each other

There are challenges ahead , repairing race relations, deescalating the police state, equality for men and women , replacing fascist hatred with universal love and understanding. These things wont come easy but we can do it. As Druids, Pagans and such we are tasked to be the teachers and healers of this coming age .i myself will return to teaching, counseling and clerical work in the Druid and Magickal fields. A small burden has been lifted . When you feel like the Gods have turned away they come back in to our lives in a major way.

Honor your traditions, laugh ,cry, and love together. We need to release a wave of AWEN -IMBAS that wipes the slate clean . We will be those who DO the things needed, SAY the things that increase knowledge and understanding . Never feel that we cant do this. WE MUST , so the world can move into magickal being that it was meant to . DIVISION is over Rally together Help ech other, yor familys, friends and neighbors. We will beat COVID, INJUSTICE, HATRED and so many things that are stumbling blocks to this world And in conclusion if YOU ever have questions, doubts or ned a encouraging ear, PLEASE contact me. The Awen . The Grove and the Gods are taking us to new places

Be Glad and i bless you all in the Coming year. Rev Sylvanus Treewalker Founder of the Order of the Standing Oak 

As The World Turns, Pagans at a Crossroads

Here we are, in a world of war, turmoil, disease, strife, and uncertainty. But for Pagans of all traditions, we manage to move onwards. We worship our Gods, and Goddesses, we meditate, we light candles in the darkness. We honor the earth and each other in so many different ways. I have sat and often wondered what would happen if there were no Pagans, No Gods, No Magick. Would the world be better off, or would there be something missing, would there be a significant impact, I dont know the answer to that question, but i do think about it. I often think, do our rituals and traditions make a difference. Or are our society's becoming complacent. I see so much jealousy, infighting, and ego in so many pagan communities, and it makes me sad. But just when im about to give up on Paganism, someone, or something sent by the Gods, or the Universe gives me hope. There are so many awesome pagan traditions, and people within them doing incredible things. That when i see this it makes me want to work harder in my own community, Things are not utopian here, and i doubt they ever will be, reality keeps my head out of the clouds, i just know that somehow there is a reason to strive to work, even if it just in my own circle, The Order of The Standing Oak, or out in the greater Pagan community with my Youtube Channel , A Pagan Perspective. or my show on Blogtalkradio.com Pagan Perspectives. I feel that anything worthwhile is worth fighting for. I want to hear from you, what do you think about the state of Paganism around the world. What do like, what do you think needs to change, and in the end isnt this really about moving ourselves forward spiritually Blessings of the Old Gods till next Blog
