Moon Ivy, I hate to do a "me too" post, but... me too. To pretty much everything you said.

I want to focus more on the *practice* of my spirituality rather than spending all my time staring at a book or computer screen, prepping myself for the CR scholar pop quiz that comes up any time one stumbles upon a CR-type community.  And, honestly, a large part of my spirituality is UPG, and I want there to be room for that.  After all, I think it's pretty safe to say that every religion pretty much started off as UPG.   It had to begin somewhere, right?

So, yeah, I strongly desire to understand the ways of my predecessors, but I want room for personal gnosis too.  My geographic area of interest has long been Ireland, but not to the exclusion of other places.  My god-relationships have been pretty much Brighid and Lugh for the most part.  Occasionally, I'll have a conversation with Ganesha, which I realise is a little weird, but he's a nice enough chap and we get on well.
