Garden Shrines: Dedicate Your Own Hallowed Ground. The pagans of Europe were the first to establish the notion of hallowed ground, an outdoor place set apart as holy.
I saw this beautiful little shrine as we left Cortona….

How do you like my little Goddess Altar? It came about after the yard had to be excavated and I ended up with many, many stones. I thought I'd put them to use by making this bird bath a focal point. Must say- I never really noticed this old tree stump much before! Once again I had a visitor. Last time, it was a contented looking robin and this time a teeny tiny frog (not much bigger than the tip of my thumb) stopped by. He was so perfectly camouflaged that for a time I thought maybe I was wasting my time photographing a leaf- but then "the leaf" hopped! Do you see the silhouette of a woman? The Goddess herself showed up! To me, goddess energy represents all that is true and beautiful and loving in our world. An altar is a place where we reconnect with the divine and for me that happens best in nature! Interestingly, I was placing stones to blend with the roots and contour of the land when I suddenly noticed I had (almost) spelled out a word. All it needed were a couple of more stones to define it and there it was- the word- "Shalom"- the Hebrew word for peace! You can see the first part of it in the first photo above. May you connect to your inner goddess today (and men this is for you too!) She is that part of you that is intuitive, loveable, loving, bold, fearless, authentic, beautiful, compassionate and sacred. Peace, Salaam, Shalom

I think its important that, as druids, we work to build sacred spaces within the landscape. Yes, many would say that all land is sacred, and I'll not disagree. But at the same time, there's quite a difference between a parking lot or a strip of land between two segments or highway and a quiet

Oh, I have a garden for you today. It is an artist’s paradise near near San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. When you see a living room like this, my first thought (besides wow!)…is, what must the garden behold? The garden, which is part of the greater complex called Casa Las Ranas, is more an art […]
