Radical Cartoons on Nostr: I'm not Irish, or religious, but I was born in the first month of Imbolc, so it's ...

I'm not Irish, or religious, but I was born in the first month of Imbolc, so it's important to me. It's the beginning of my journey to put my Paganism into more of a structure, by following the Celtic calendar and going to some Pagan events/places.
(But no commercial witchy-woo-woo stuff)!

Here's my new Brigid's cross. Both pagans and Christians make these. (Ireland actually has made the Christianized version of Imbolc a public holiday, for both Christians and Pagans)!
This year I collected some ivy from the Somerset Levels on my long walk down there on the 1st. (We don't have the rushes like they do in Ireland). It's made a perfectly good rustic looking cross.
The amulet on the right is one of Bealtaine Cottage's bog-oak pendants.
The picture below is from a screenshot of one of her stone goddesses. The lamp is a cheapo "rock salt" lamp, probably not even real, but pretty. The brass thing is a mortar, which I've had for years. Can be used as a bell (it has a lovely sound) or for burning sage, (if you do that sort of thing).

The card above is a birthday card from my hubby, it's a design by Sally Elford, a nature artist. For someone living in Brighton, her work is pleasingly free of gender-woo.
