So I’m an in-the-broom-closet pagan, and I don’t think that’s going to change. My family is loving and kind, but extremely Christian, I don’t want to end up as an abassador for neo-pagandom, and I don’t feel like discussing my religion at work.
However, if I’m going to be a Druid, I wouldn’t really be in the broom closet.
Instead, I shall be a Secret Agent Druid.
I shall practice rogue acts of secretive and subversive Druidry.
Like leaving offerings in a local park, or meditating next to the bayou (and hoping I don’t find an alligator). Or picking up some trash. Or doing the Two Powers meditation when I’m feeling low on energy at work. My work also has a “Green Team”, which I will join as soon as I figure out how. Secret Agent Druid in the Office!
I’ve already stepped up my offerings to the land spirits in my yard – they got some of the homemade venison chili I made last night. I don’t know if land spirits like chili, but it was gone this morning, so I figure they didn’t reject it! I also have an altar in my house, but it looks like a collection of pretty candles and bowls, with an incense burner, so it’s not really that suspicious unless you know what you’re looking for.
I suppose I could call it “Random Acts of Druidry”, but Secret Agent Druid sounds cooler, so I’m going to stick with that.
Now the song “Secret Agent Man” is running through my head…:) That’s okay though.
Blessings,
Victoria
Victoria – I had it in my head too, which is kind of where the title came from. Earwormed!
Very nice. 🙂 I plan on posting a reflection on the Ancestors soon, which will probably turn out to be one of my Three Kindred essays. Just a heads-up. 🙂
Yay! I have your blog in my feed reader, so I’ll see it whenever it gets posted. I’ll try to remember to leave comments. (I’m not always super good at being a regular commenter, and I’m trying to get better) 🙂
Great idea! :0)
