Wellspring really motivated me to delve deeper into the study programs I'm working on. I kept making excuses for why I wasn't working harder. Some of them are arguably valid, such as being tired after work, but I only work for five days out of seven. There are two days that I could easily get something done.
Tonight I started to edit a book review for Oak Leaves, continued my work on the muse essay for the Artisan study program, and did a full ritual. I used ogham to seek guidance from the Kindreds and they seemed to have a lot of positive things to say about my desire to do a ritual every week. All signs point to it being the best thing for my spirituality. The Kindreds seem to be saying that in doing so, I will grow closer to the land, myself, and the Kindreds in general. I made an oath that, so long as I'm physically able, I will perform a full ritual once a week. Should I fail, I will give up the internet (my biggest time sink) for the following week. The only exception to that is my work email. Otherwise, no surfing or checking status updates at all. I've been pretty good about keeping my oath to do a devotional every day unless I participate in some other ritual. Oaths motivate me.
So I feel pretty good about myself and my spirituality tonight!
In other news, my garden is doing so well! The marigolds are starting to blossom which adds some much needed color to what is otherwise a collection of green. I can't wait until my forget me nots blossom!
