From Lurking to Seeking
Happy Beltane, everyone!
I've been lurking her for a while, but I've been getting increasingly strong prompting to quit drifting along with my path and embark on some actual legwork. The trouble is, I'm interested in learning more about filidecht, and I'm not really sure where to start. I did a vision-seeking ritual last night to ask Flidais for some advice (out of my UPG that, from her association with the guardianship of trees would also come an association with the Hazels of Wisdom), and mostly discovered that, while half-in and half-out of the water is a liminal space, it just doesn't work for me.
I already feel a strong religious connection to wordcraft, but saying that since I write stories and poems of my own I can call myself a filidh seems to me to be one of the worst kinds of presumption. Does anyone have any advice for how/where to start? I have this vague, looming knowledge that I have a great deal to learn, but feel like my textbooks are hiding from me.
Thanks in advance to everyone who answers!
