The Aussie thread....

[Bronzewing]

That's great news, Drgaonwyst. Can anyone give us unlucky stop-outs a bit of a rundown?

I am in the midst of puppy poo and tonnes of dirty towels and sheets, and have thighs and a butt like hot rocks from bending over making sure the little ones get their share. I could do with a breath of fresh air!

Hugs,

Bronzie

All in good time. I'm working on filmed snippets and photographs, working them into a Youtube clip. It will take a bit of time to complete.

[Bronzewing]

Can't wait!

[Klandaxa]

Greetings all. I hope you are all well.

Greetings Klandaxa, well as can be amongst the mirrored maze of meanderings called life.

Whytefox.

hallo everyone. i'm just crawling up out of my virtual wombat hole where i spent the past week listening to music and looking back over those magical days at cooringal. wow. that little valley rang like a singing bowl with laughter and music and everyone's voices. well behaved dogs, kids and community. that crazy ball, spontaneous music, the daily routine - just nothing went wrong. perfect conditions for getting to know people - putting faces to names, and hearing everyone talk about their lives. great to know you all!

[Fox of the Oaks]

Good to meet you too wyeuro.

here are some pictures of the assembly
that's dragonwyst at the top, there's the geodesic tower that keeps everything harmonious and vital, and everyone dressed for the fancy dress ball. there'll be more pictures and reminiscences in the next serpentstar.

may just be me but looks like theres something in that fire

[kytty]

hmm i think you might be right i can see a fork and something triangular shaped and something that looks like a melted long neck (yeah I now miss spent youth ha) but hey im still jet lagged
looks like you lot had great fun

[wyeuro]

yep, good fun, lots of good magic everywhere. i see wings in that flame, like a phoenix or something.

[reilz81]

i was thinking either phoenix or dragon, sounds like it was quite magikal.

[Dragonwyst]

I must get a move on with my snippets of filming and photos. I plan to add everyone's triads to it if no-one has any objections...And don't forget to visit http://www.druidryaustralia.org/, now that it's up and running.

[wyeuro]

thanks for the reminder. i have to dig out my old druid grade gwersi to find the magical vocables of entry to utter which have been cunningly concealed therein for only the adept to discover. keeps the muggleses out, i spose, except the ones like me that slip through the net... i'll be there asap.

[Klandaxa]

Greetings brothers and sisters. I am very pleased to have logged on and read the recent discussions. I, too will look at Steven's link. I have had significant family issues in recent months and feel that I am slowly arriving on the other side of this trying time in my life. More importnantly, I'm looking forward to renewing my committments to Druidry and those of you I have come to know in small ways. What strikes me most about the recent conversations is the willingness of Aussies, who face different seasonal understandings perhaps to traditional druidic seasons, coming together despite the different parts of Australia (myself a sandgroper) we hail from. This thread allows us access to each other and current thoughts. Hopefully it can grow into physical meetings equally.

[Fox of the Oaks]

except the ones like me that slip through the net...

haha.
I had a little read about muggles (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muggles). Pure-bloods, half-bloods, muggle-born etc. etc.

And Klandaxa, good to see you're still around.
Life can be tough, but I'm glad to know there are ways to work with that, such as Druidry.

ooohhhh the pictures are great, it looks like everyone had a great time!
Klandaxa I hope things continue to improve for you and it's good to see you here again.

Now in regards to druidry australia, I sent an inquiry quite some time ago, should i ignore that i did that and just register again?

[Bronzewing]

Hi Klandaxa, I've missed your presence on this thread! Was lovely to have another Sandgroper, and such a wise one at that. I'm sorry you have had some hard times. ((HUGS))

Whytefox, I must admit it gives me a little giggle to think that lots of pagan or otherwise marginalised groups have started calling 'ordinary' people muggles. There was never really a word to describe all those perceived as fitting into current society before, even though of course we can never really tell how well someone really fits or how happy they are in that role.

Just imagine being a writer and having a word you made up become part of daily language! So cool!

Great pics! I'm hanging out for this video, Dragonwyst!

I'm deeply immersed in being grandmum for a litter of Lab puppies just now. Little eyes just opening, lots of cute practice barking and growling, just starting to think of playing with each other. Already wagging their tails when they feel and smell my familiar hand. Each one born to bring amazing love and companionship to someone's life. Dogs are such miracles. Haven't had much sleep and certainly haven't even started my Ovate studies yet. Don''t feel like I have a creative or Druidy bone left in my body just now! Now I know a little how new mums feel!

Hugs,

Bronzie

Ah well, its there now! http://serpentstar.wordpress.com

[Fox of the Oaks]
