From the Regional Druid Happy Spring! Winter and Spring seem to be battling for the current season. The weeks are switching between nice spring weather and cold and rainy winter. It reminds me a bit of the challenge that we can sometimes face with our own internal struggles – with choices, with depression, with just figuring…
From the Regional Druid Happy 2018! This year has started out with one heck of a bang! Unfortunately, that means that it’s been an insane January and early February for me – which is why this newsletter is a bit late. Here in California, Imbolc has nothing to do with flowers poking up from snow. In…
From the Regional Druid Happy Winter Solstice to you all! Another year is almost over, and we’re in the middle of the winter holidays and getting ready for the New Year. There’s so much going on, and sometimes we have to deal with individuals that we’d rather not interact with. As we go through these times,…
From the Regional Druid Greetings and welcome to the NW newsletter for Samhain. “Spin, Spindle, spin, to end is to begin, spiral winds the wyrd yarn, dying is a being born, spindle, spindle, spin.” These are the words of a song from Diana Paxton’s book “The Way of the Oracle.” These words help to lead the…
From the Regional Druid Greetings and welcome to the NW newsletter for the Autumn Equinox.

From the Regional Druid Greetings to the druids of the Northwest! Happy Summer to you all! I hope that everyone is finding a way to stay relatively cool in this season – or perhaps you’re in one of the areas that hasn’t gotten hot yet and are enjoying the weather. Happy Belated Father’s Day to all…
From the Regional Druid Blessed Beltane to you all, Here in California, we’re having a wet spring. While it’s lovely that we’re getting the water, it does put a bit of a damper on outdoor activities. I’m looking forward to a somewhat dryer summer so I can get outside to walk more often. Beltane is an interesting…
From the Regional Druid Blessed Spring Equinox to you all, Pantheacon 2017 was a great convention! We had a lot of folks floating in and out of the suite, and a lot of people who stayed to chat. Thanks to everyone who donated – through items for the auction, time, stuff or money! Thanks to you all,…
From the Regional Druid Blessed Imbolc to you all, The weather is continuing to be very wet where I am in California, which is wonderful! It’s been quite chilly even in our the southerly areas of the region, with our norther regions getting more than their fair share of snow! While we are approaching Imbolc, winter is still…
