About

My craft name is Rowan MacGregor and I live on two acres of overgrown oak savanna in the Midwest (US) with my husband and our daughter. I practice Green Witchcraft and ADF-style druidry. I've been in the ADF (Ár nDraíocht Féin) for about 2 and a half years now and I've been practicing Green Witchcraft for upwards of eight years and paganism in general for more than ten years. My hearth culture is Scottish and my patron Goddess is Brighid.

I like to call my path "Hearth-Keeping" because it involves homey and "lower" magics more than "high", ritual magic. I do hold ritual on high days and make offerings to Brigid, but I suppose the nature of my patron goddess would make my practice more hearth centered LOL

I'm somewhat of a hippie, but an academic background in biology gives me grounding in reality. That is to say, I understand that the natural world isn't perfectly harmonious. Each creature strives for the largest share of resources- mice, oaks, sparrows and people are all equally selfish. It is the finely evolved *interrelations* between species and individuals that prevents things from going haywire. This continual push and shove between opposing desires creates the illusion of harmony and is, I think, the prefect example of the yin-yang philosophy.

I'm also an author, I've written a few things for various pagan magazines, including Circle Sanctuary's Circle Magazine. I'm currently working on a website that will act as a resource for ecologically minded pagans.

"Bookaddict Jess" is my bibliomaniac mule, I don't check that account as often though.

Please feel free to add me as a friend. Also, feel free to PM me- I love hearing from people biggrin

Green is my favorite color too! You called your daughter Midori? How cute! Yeah, pre-christian finnish culture is great, the Saami shamans and that... I'm reading about the ADF, it sounds interesting... To be in a religious organization... must be great! I mean, I'm feeling a bit alone sometimes...

Hi!! I like your avatar too *_* Yeah, I'm a norse reconstructionist, so my hearth culture is scandinavian, but I also accept influences from finnish culture, as they are too similar... I mean, we both norse and finnish reconstructionists have the hammer of a Thunder God as our religious symbol...!
