I was reading "Under the Ancient Oaks" and the title above is the title that he used. I'm going to just talk about what I've seen and how it connects to the title. I've been in the Polytheist community for about eight years. I found the community when I left Wicca. Though I will admit that sometimes some of my practices look Wiccan when all I'm doing is trying to figure out how to best approach what I'm doing. In the time that I've been around I've seen debates over the gods and if their real, archetypes, so on. Personally I view them as being real. But my view isn't what makes them real. It's their presence in my life, how I've interacted with them, and how they have helped me. I've asked the gods for help in strength, patience (my present job is very stressful because people want me to work faster than is possible), and protection while traveling. I've done offerings to the Norse, Egyptian, Greek, and Roman gods...
Today was Midsummer and it was one hot day. I mean, not in the morning but it heated up really quickly by time the afternoon came around. Midsummer, as I've mentioned before, is when the sun is at it's height but it will start losing energy as we get closer to the dark half of the year. Me and my mother did enjoy ourselves and I had to wait until the weather had cooled down enough so that I could do my actual ritual. I hope that everyone had a good one.
Tonight I celebrated the New Moon and I enjoyed the peace and quiet that comes with it. I honored the gods, gave thanks, and gave offerings. No magical workings, just honoring them.
