White Georgian pattern tumblers in the white “milk glass” color. One glass is held in my left hand in the foreground, a stack of six others and a seventh by itself is on the table in the midground. My chalice collection bookcase is in the background.

Today I finally found a white “milk glass” Georgian pattern tumbler, possibly made by Fenton Glass. Though it was only sold as a set of 8 (and basically $2 apiece at an antique shop). In Reformed #Druidry /|\, this is the style of #chalice that achieved accidental popularity early on in the movement

A statement that says "Stay strong & stand proud! We love you!" signed "Johayan"

Wide shot of the vinyl hand-painted transgender pride banner at the event. All attendees were encouraged to take a sharpie and write-in their support. The banner is to be taken to various pride events in 2026.

Had a great time at Apple Valley's Transgender Day of Visibility celebration tonight! There was live music, activities, free food, and a lot of really cool people who came out to show support our trans loved ones and network w/ local pride organizations to help us propel our support into the future!

An invitation card stating all the details in the main post. It is silver text on a dark green background with a lighter green Art Nouveau frame surrounding it. In open spaces near the corners and in the center are symbols in black of the five Druid orders being discussed at the event: The AODA Awen in quartered circles, the OBOD Awen in three circles, the RDNA Druid Sigil, the ADF sprouting tree stump logo, and the Keltrian oak wreath Druid Sigil with the Awen in the center.

Me in my ceremonial garb and birch staff, standing on snow-covered ice at the edge of a 30 foot sandstone cliff. Pin oaks in the background still hold their leaves.

The slightly higher bluff is virtually inaccessible in the winter, where footholds are covered in snow and ice. The horizon is in the background, with a vista of woodland for several miles

Looking up the path between the two sandstone outcrops

The front view of the sandstone cliffs. A gentle slope rises about 50 feet from the level ground, above which an erosional remnant rises vertically another 30 feet or so

Me trying to NOT slip and fall off a 30 foot precipice in my ceremonial garb for you people. At Vermillion Highlands WMA. #druidsky #druidry /|\

Kristoffer Hughes is a Welsh Druid and a great author. I’d recommend checking out any of his books. I’d say check out “The Book of Druidry” to start

A Norfolk Island Pine is set upon a rococo plant stand with a strand of fairy lights coiled around both. The setup is in front of the apartment balcony sliding door at night that overlooks the parking courtyard.

A closeup of the mistletoe sprig attached to the top of the Norfolk Island Pine. The sprig’s red velveteen bow tie is illuminated by a single LED from the strand of fairy lights in a darkened room.

I robed up and adorned my #Solstice tree with a sprig of mistletoe (which is VERY hard to buy locally in Minnesota because it just doesn’t grow in this climate). #midwinter #druidsky #druidry /|\ …may the Earth-Mother tilt onward to midwinter!

Three documents are shown: my certificate of ordination from the Reformed Druids of North America, a Letter of Good Standing from the same, and my confirmation letter from the county for filing as a marriage officiant.

After moving I learned I needed to register my clergy credentials in my new resident county, and that finally got done today. Made a huge mess searching where I stored my Letter Of Good Standing, so I’ve got some reorganization to do now :)

The #Druids of Oakdale Grove invite you to our "Feast of Gratitude" tomorrow at 1 PM at Perkins on Co Rd D in New Brighton! Attendees are responsible for their own tab. Please RSVP to MNdruids@gmail.corn by Saturday at noon so we can arrange the chairs accordingly.

Brought my work laptop into the office today because it can’t find the boot drive and won’t load. I forgot how pretty it is here, even if I’m not on the 9th floor. I’m remembering all the #druidry “stealth rituals” I’ve had, back when I used to work in-office here. /|\

The Hellenic fountain at Sagalassos with Doric columns

The horseshoe shaped water trough behind the colonnade

The crystal clear water still flows from sources up the mountain

The sign subheading says “Water, the Source of Life!” I took it to be a sign, as we consecrate the “Waters-of-Life” in Reformed Druidism

Galatia II Protogrove has been founded at Sagalassos, Türkiye! It is the first Reformed #Druidry fellowship in this country since 2004. In the inaugural ceremony at a Hellenic fountain, I didn’t have a chalice, so I consecrated the whole fountain. The sign says the water is potable. /|\ #druidsky

Two copies of the Black Book of Liturgy sit in partial sunlight on a wooden table to show the matte binding. The glossy table shows a bit of glare from the sun, but the books do not have glare. One book is face up and the other is face down to show both sides.

A closeup of the back cover shows the matte texture of the binding. There is a green nouveau border that frames a photo of the stone circle at Carleton College at night. Below the photo is part of the book description.

My copies of “Black Book of Liturgy” just arrived 3 days early! I really like the matte finish on the 4th edition. Older ones were glossy. /|\ #druidry #druidsky #Ritual
