I am currently writing the tests to move from the rank of Student to Initiate in Toutâ Galation. The following is adapted from an answer I prepared for this test. I first briefly wrote about this ritual on this very blog in September 2021: “Orchardcraft.”

One of my favourite autumn rituals is the following, which I’ve done nearly every year since 2021 in the fall, right before apple picking at an orchard on a small mountain outside my city. This ritual asks for Abellion’s favour.

Resharing an old blog post on mythless gods and spirits:

"But today I just wanted to express something that I’m not sure I hear enough: I love worshipping mythless gods. I feel like it forces me to step out of that comfort zone that are myths and correspondence tables. I have no choice but to put all my attention on the actual relationship that I’m developing with the gods through a regular gifting cycle, expressed mainly at this time through a regular hearth cult, semi-regular athletic cultus, and other sporadic prayers & leaving of offerings."

A post from last year, but sharing again because I want to motivate myself to get back to these notes and add more:

"A few notes on the theorized original characteristics of the Gaulish religion(s)"

"I’ve been slowly making my way through Les religions gauloises by Jean-Louis Brunaux over the past several months. I really loved reading Les druides, which I had to return to the national library but am hoping to pick back up again soon. Les religions gauloises similarly does not disappoint."
