Despite the fact that I have not been posting like I should, I have continued my studies both from OBOD and in reading the Book of Druid Magic. I will continue to write about the book here but am not suppose to write about the OBOD training here. Kinda got told I'm not suppose to though I thought I was only talking about my own feelings, not the content. It's all good though.. here goes.
The last time I added to my studies Journey, I was still in the chapter talking about tools and such. I have moved well beyond that at this point and will try to catch you up here. Not sure if I will get it all done tonight, but promise to work on it over the next few days.
The last chapter I wrote about was the tools chapter, chapter four so I will go ahead and move on from there.
The next section was about divination. I have been doing various forms of divination for a little over a year now and was thorough interested in this chapter. It was a quick over view with the promise of more later in the book. Yay! It talked about several things, prophecy or second sight, augury, and Ogham.
Second sight are those who just see what is happening or what is to come. Seeing what we cannot see. Even now, as in all time, even our leaders have seers whom the confer with. It has even been known that our presidents consult phychics and seers, though it is usually done through that wives. Heaven forbid the president would believe in something so mystical, lol...
Augury is the study of habits. What really caught my attention was the study of birds. It has been known through history that fortunes have been told by the behaviors of birds and other animals. How fascinating? I am looking forward to reading more about this, even if I have to look beyond this book for the information. Lets, however, get through this one first. The Goddess Bridgid was connected with Augury.
The one that truly interests me at this point is the Ogham. Using the Ogham Fews, trees, carved into stones or staves as I have made to tell fortunes, futures, or outcomes. I am thoroughly interesting in this and will post more on this soon. The students of the actually symbols , their meanings, and how to read them comes towards the end of the book... i will be patient and wait. What am I saying, I'm already playing with them. I will, however, wait and write more about them when I have a better understanding of what I am doing with them.
