Anarchistbanjo's World

As we celebrate the 2nd complete lunar cycle of the year the message we receive should bring us direction. The new energy that came in at the winter solstice took a general form and direction during the last full moon of Imbolc. For many of us it might have even assisted in the activation of our etheric bodies. Make no mistake about this. Society has split with one half moving to Gaia for grounding and the other half going into their heads. We, of course, celebrate Gaia and the new life that is about to burst forth.

Today, at this full moon, we find our new direction for the year and it might be surprising. I know it was for me. I had been working with some Akashic Record meditations and going back to past lives for gifts and empowerments. I purchased a small book about my great great grandfather who came over from Germany during the Civil War. It was written by a distant relative who shared that same great great grandfather with me, but otherwise was unknown. Suddenly I was reminded that the Bandel’s were Irish who migrated to Germany as mercenaries. That reminded me of my DNA family history of belonging to haplogroup G-P15 who settled in the Ukraine area and among the Balkans. How did the Bandel’s get to Ireland? A little internet history search and I find out that some of the first people in England and Ireland came from the Ukraine before the bronze age! They were the peoples that raised the stone monoliths like stone henge! They were haplogroup G-P15!

So instantly I was back among the Druids. A little more internet research and I discovered the Order of Bards, Ovates & Druids. I did a bit more research and found that some very gifted teachers were associated with the Druid movement including Melita Denning of the Aurum Solis and Gerald Gardner of Gardnerian Wicca. Both very heavy hitters in the magickal department. The more I read, the more I liked what I saw. To make a long story short, I’m now a Bard with OBOD and doing the Bardic studies. I was totally unprepared for this as it came out of nowhere, but is a very beautiful fit at the same time. OBOD has recently made many changes to their structure including online studies complete with audio and video supplements. So far it seems very nice with a lot of nice people that share my own core values.

I still believe that the only thing required for soul development and empowerment is working with portal meditations on a daily basis and personal effort. But it is nice to find people that really resonate with my own inner core beliefs and values. So this full moon has brought clarification of my direction and life purpose. No more space brother and sister stuff as I’m not going that way.

My etheric studies and research are now integrating with OBOD like it or not. Organic Gnosticism and Druidry have much in common if not all. And for me, the Order is and always has been the Druids as my genetic history attests. So this is my home, my spiritual home after wandering for many lifetimes. Future posts will tend to integrate my own experience with those of other Druids and pagans who travel similar paths. As I mentioned in other posts, the focus is now upon the etheric planes because that is the new energy that we need to work with for the next 2000 years!
