Rowan Ives recommends The Irish Pagan School...
"The courses at the Irish Pagan School offer an in-depth approach to Irish paganism that is based on genuine history and folklore. There is so much here for curious learners of all levels to gain knowledge and insight on their spiritual paths while avoiding the misinformation that is sadly common in popular modern paganism. I have benefited greatly from the classes and look forward to taking more."

Excellent thoughts, Jon. Thank you for that. I think that some Pagans feel the need for pageantry due to it being a common thing in their former Christian lives. That said, some people simply get a lot out of the production, the constant marking of the calendar, etc. I see them as the same kinds of folks who earnestly like attending church. Not out of fear or duty, but they just enjoy it and feel more drawn into their faith by engaging. Good on anyone who finds whatever path works for them.
That wasn't me as a Christian, and that's not me now as a pagan. My path with the gods is a hodgepodge of earnest veneration done in a not always consistent and often quietly but nearly daily sort of way. I have never celebrated a seasonal date, but every morning (ok nearly every morning), I greet The Morrigan by nodding to my print of a crow above her alter and giving it a polite posture of reverence, I give the mjolnir around neck a bit of a squeeze when I feel the protective hand of Thor, etc. I try to take some time out of my day just to acknowledge the gods and show appreciation. I do my rituals a few times a week of lighting a candle and making a libation offering, but most days it is simply me inviting the gods into my life and opening myself to be of service to them should they ask it of me. A passive gifting cycle.
By many Pagan's accounts, this is not enough. However, for me, it has made me feel more connected with the earth and all things with it, and I don't belive doing "more" would make me show my earnest respect to the gods in any greater capacity than what I have in my heart for them.
All. The. Time. You make alot of good points about the struggle to engage consistently and it is always helpful to hear/read about others struggling with it; especially those who I look to for guidance in my spiritual practice! Inspiring and ... relieving, I think is the right word, lol. I trend to get very down on myself when I fall off the wagon but knowing others have been there helps me remember that i'm resilient and can start again anytime, no matter how long its been!
Yes mate, absolutely! Ive got undiagnosed ADHD and struggle to stick to things. But my intentions are good and its all a learning curve. Thanks for another great video
