Druidry - Setting Intentions
Written by Nimue Brown
I gave up doing resolutions some years ago, in pursuit of something more helpful.
I like spending time at midwinter thinking about what I’m doing, where I’m going, and setting intentions for how I want to approach the coming year.
2024 is going to be challenging, and at this point it’s hard to say how challenging – there’s too much I don’t know. My primary intention is to do the best I can with whatever I’m dealt. I’m going to be focusing on what good there is to have, and to make, day by day.
In terms of the blog, I will be spending more time on everyday Druidry and exploring things that might work for lay Druids. I’ll be talking about spirits of place, and sharing whatever I learn as I’m going along.
In terms of the rest of my working and creative life, I know I’m going to be spending some time as a book publicist in the spring, working with a lovely author whose book I enjoyed. I’ve got a massive project on with Dr Abbey, and I look forward to being able to talk about that more. I’m going to be investing more time in the viola, nurturing a new singing group, finishing the current novel and hopefully writing a folk horror novel later on. That’s already proving to be an interesting process so I may well talk about the background on that as I go along. I’m hoping for more performance work in the summer, but we’ll see what comes.
I don’t have any particular reading or study goals at the moment, but I do hope to have reasons to develop some new material. Hopefully I’m going to need to learn more medieval tunes and learn more stories for storytelling, but that’s a hope and not a certainty. I’m definitely developing more fairy material for local events, and I will have a short-lived shanty crew later in the year.
I’m also hoping to travel to a few Druid gatherings – I’m waiting to see what’s feasible, but come the summer that might be a thing.
I’m facing this coming year with mixed feelings – hope and anxiety. I will make the best I can of everything, and seek what joy I can, for myself and for those closest to me.
