About Celtic Paganism in Modern Practice
Presented by Iris Meredith Bell and Jenny Wilde
In order to
understand modern American paganism, one must understand the pre-modern Celtic
spiritual worldview. Who is the Goddess? Is She one or three or both at once?
How do the changing of seasons and the ancient agricultural calendar affect our
modern lives? How does the practice of magic connect us more deeply with nature
and our own bodies?
Join Jenny and
Iris to explore the practices and beliefs in Celtic Paganism, delving into
mythology, divination, herbalism, and rituals. Learn about the Celtic
view of the Goddess, of the changing of seasons, and of utilizing magic to
influence the world. We will even do a little magic together!
