Me with one of my creations!

I think its important that, as druids, we work to build sacred spaces within the landscape.  Yes, many would say that all land is sacred, and I’ll not disagree.  But at the same time, there’s a difference between a parking lot or a strip land between two segments or highway and a quiet fore

st glade or a stone circle set upon a hillside overlooking a river.  Whether in your own home garden, in a corner of a local park, or in the forest behind your workplace, you can build and maintain small sacred spaces that can provide peace, restorative energy to you and the land, demonstrate reverence and respect.  In my own property and in other wild places I visit, I’ve been working to build small natural sacred spaces and wanted to share my experiences and insight.

This post is meant to be the first in a series; I will detail other building techniques in the next few months.  Some of these will include a set of smaller projects that you can undertake in as little as 10 minutes or larger projects which may take days, weeks, months, or years to complete.

Stone Cairns / Stone Balancing / Stone Stacking

The first “Sacred Space” building technique that you can use is building stone cairns, also known as stone stacking, stone building, or stone balancing.

The art of balancing stones has origins in many cultures. In many parts of Asia, stones are balanced and stacked as a sign of prayer and meditation. In North America, native Americans used stone cairns to watch over animals while humans were not present.  I see stone balancing as a kind of natural poetry–an aesthetic that is difficult to put into words. When we balance stones, we connect the depths of our souls to the depths of the earth and create something of beauty and harmony.  What do the stacked stones convey? Ask them, and you may find out.

Stone balancing is a very simple, yet profound activity.  Stone balancing allows you, at its core, to connect with the ancient energies of the earth.  You might begin stone balancing by simply seeing how stone A stacks upon stone B and stone B stacks upon stone C.  Try these kinds of stacks for a while, and once you get the hang of simple stacking, you might want to try more complex stone stacking, where stone C depends upon both A and B, or where B and C need each other to sit atop A.

When I started stone balancing, I made stone stacks very simply with the larger, round stones found so commonly in South East Michigan.  I have several active stone stacks in my yard which I maintain–these simple stacks would fall over each time the weather changed by more than 20 or 30 degrees.   But over time, I started adding complexity to my stone stacked designs–small pebbles between the larger stones to create a more solid structure that can withstand the changing seasons, wind and rain.  I also began experimenting with different kinds of stacks and designs, such as the design I’ll call “thor’s gate” and the “Yggdrasil” designs in the photos. When I went to Western PA, I found that the rocks there were much more conducive to stone building–nice, flat rocks allowed me to stack in many different patterns.  Let the shape of the stones determine how you work with them–they will speak to you and the stone building will just flow.

I have found stone balancing to be a wonderful activity for both my own property and for visiting natural areas and leaving a tribute.  In my own property, I build them in different parts of the property as shrines.  For example, a stone cairn I maintain every day is my “Shrine to the fallen” which sits on top of a white pine tree stump from a tree that was cut before we moved here.  In addition to the stones, I add symbols of rebirth and renewal such as pine cones, evergreen boughs, etc.  A second stone cairn is a set of numerous stone stacks near a large oak and series of smaller sassafras trees, which I also maintain daily as a “Reverence to the Land” shrine.  This shrine is where I might leave some seeds or pumpkin cakes as a “thank you” to the earth which provides all.

A second activity involves building stone cairns on public land: state parks, local township parks, along city walking paths, etc.  Make sure you aren’t disrupting local wildlife with your stone building.  I have some stone cairns that I return to often or once a year, and some that I build and never come back to again.  Sometimes, if you build an impressive enough and visible enough cairn, others may add to your stone cairn, creating a kind of shared poetry.

I have found great joy in building stone cairns in streams or along riverbeds.  Recognize that spring rains and swollen rivers will eventually wash your cairns away; however, there is something inherently magical in seeing a stone cairn sitting in the middle of a tranquil brook.

Stones as Shared Poetry

The Stone Cairn in the Stream

This was a small stone cairn I built while with a group of three other women.  While none of them were druids like myself, all were spiritually aware and respectful of the land.  When I finished building the cairn, I asked each of them how the stone cairn spoke to them; if they had happened upon it in the forest, what would it say to them?  Here are their responses:

• If I had come upon this stone cairn, I would have thought that it rose up from the earth on its own.  The earth had built it just to communicate with me.
• I go hiking often, and many trails have these as markers.  So I see this cairn as something that helps guide you along your way.
• I see it as a place for the energies of the forest to converge.  A focus  point.  I also see it where the water and the earth meet.

My own intention was that the cairn was built to revere the land and out of respect.  But the beauty of the stone cairn is that it allows for many kinds of interpretation.

I hope that you will be inspired to post your own stone cairns!  And if so, please post in the comments and share some of your work and experiences.

Ardantane Needs Infrastructure: Ardantane, a Pagan learning center in the Jemez Mountains (that’s in New Mexico), is holding a fundraiser through IndieGoGo to help build a free-standing eco-friendly handicapped-accessible restroom/shower.

Ardantane

“One rather glaring problem with our facilities is – a lack of restrooms. We have one small toilet in the staff residence, but it’s not handicapped-accessible. Thus we created the HARRE Potty Project: “HARRE” stands for Handicapped-Accessible RestRoom, Eco-friendly. We figure it will cost about $15-16,000 to build a fairly spacious, free-standing restroom with two toilets, two sinks and a shower, and tie it into our water treatment system (which goes to a drip irrigation system to water our “Oasis”). We have eight or nine thousand raised, but will need about $7,000 more to get the project done. You can help!”

It’s a flexible-funding campaign, so all donations made will go towards the project. There are 28 days left in the fundraiser, and a number of perks available to those who donate.

• Dan Halloran Undergoing Brain Surgery: New York City Councilman, congressional candidate, and Theodish Heathen Dan Halloran is undergoing brain surgery to remove a benign tumor. Quote: “On Wednesday, I will undergo a neurosurgical procedure to remove a benign tumor.  It’s a lengthy operation that will require me to remain in the hospital for the rest of the week.  Then, after all goes well, I’ll return home to rest and recuperate.  My doctors expect a speedy recovery, and I hope to be back on my feet within a few weeks — and get back to the business of serving you in City Hall and fighting for our district, the middle class, and our shared values.” We wish Halloran a quick and speedy recovery.
• SPLC Reports on Odinist Terrorist: The Southern Poverty Law Center reports on the sentencing of white supremacist Wayde Lynn Kurt, who was accused of plotting to assassinate President Barack Obama. Kurt, 54, was sentenced to 13 years in prison on charges related to firearms and forgery. Tapes played during the trial showed Kurt saying that Obama “needs to be killed.” Kurt was involved in the racist Odinist group “Vangard Kindred” (whose co-founder is also in trouble with the law). FBI Special Agent Joseph Cleary testified that he believed “Mr. Kurt had a terrorist plan that involved the president of the United States.” During the trial, prosecutors played a video of a Odinist blot Kurt took part in, where the Norse pantheon was invoked to protect them from other races, with Nazi flags flying in the background.
• Skyclad Ritual in India: The Times of India reports on the remote village of Handanakerae, where once a year women clad only in leaves give homage to the goddess Gonimaradamma in return for answered prayers. Quote: “I prayed to goddess Gonimaradamma for my family’s well-being. She fulfilled my demands and that’s why I performed this service. No family member or any villager forced me to do this ritual. I’ve been getting good things from the goddess and so I do this service for her. What’s wrong in it?” Women who participate in the ritual are treated as manifestations of the goddess, and any misbehavior is heavily frowned on, believing it would bring punishment from Gonimaradamma.

That’s all I have for now, have a great Sunday!

I was actually supposed to take my state exam today, and I was all prepared to wear my Pete Griffara shirt and go incognito as advised, but the testing people called me Thursday and rescheduled it due to the building getting shut down. Damnit! I just wanted to get this thing over with and get my sponsor card! But, they rescheduled me to next Thursday, which isn’t even a regular day for it, which is fine by me – I’d rather have my Saturdays for showings!

And, I really hope this whole thing fizzles itself out, because I, and many, many others, do not want to see a repeat of the ’68 Convention. But police aren’t so sure, especially since today is supposed to be a hot one, and when it heats up around here, shit happens. Let’s just hope it’s a fairly peaceful protest like it was yesterday. And I say fairly, since some traders were hit with water balloons filled with urine and bags of human feces (it’s in various twitter feeds as well). Yes, some of those guys are indeed assholes, but that doesn’t sound much like peacefully protesting if you ask me.

One of the protests I wanted to make mention is taking place tomorrow, where post-9/11 vets will be returning their medals. Some, especially vets from previous wars, find the act to be disgraceful, but folks like me who have no skin in the game figure it’s their medals, and they can do with them what they want. I find this part of the overall schedule of protests, and the NATO summit as a whole, to have an interesting timing, because Congress just voted to approve continuing the war in Afghanistan. I’d like to know how YOU all feel about things going on here. Please feel free to share your comments!

And of course, before I neglect to mention, I want to once again express my thanks and gratitude to you all for your service and sacrifice. With today being Armed Forces Day, we thank those who serve and protect us now. And on Memorial Day, we thank those who made the ultimate sacrifice in their service. As we all know, there are indeed many Pagans of different beliefs who are serving, and I extend many blessings of safety and comfort for you. There will be Warrior Blessings held at various Pagan festivals this summer, at Lothlorien and Pagan Spirit Gathering to name two, and I hope if you are unable to attend personally, you will feel the blessings reach you. (And hey, if any of you readers are attending PSG, I’ll be there the final weekend. I’d love to meet you! My workshop is playing with my puppet and the kids!)

Well, I do need to get moving, as I have a busy day of showings ahead of me. Please everyone, whichever side of the fence you’re on, be it as a protester or as a service member, or even as someone who just needs to get to work downtown, be safe and care for one another. Blessings to you and yours.

Swimming area at Stonehouse Park.

• PNC-Minnesota passes on the word that Stonehouse Park in Illinois, the home of this year’s Pagan Spirit Gathering, will be able to continue holding events on its property, despite complaints about noise and illegal activities. Local Pagans affiliated with Circle Sanctuary, and the Northern Illinois University Pagan student group, worked and communicated with the DeKalb County Board to ensure a permit would be in place this year. Thanks to this decision PSG will be able to move forward without having to worry about a last-minute relocation or cancellation, though the “short leash” put on Stonehouse may make the location untenable for future events. PSG’s move to Illinois came after their last location, Camp Zoe in Missouri, was seized due to (completely unrelated to PSG) drug trafficking charges.
• There are a number of great Pagan articles and essays currently up, here at the Patheos Pagan channel, including a column on making Paganism competitive, another on doing religion on the road, and a third on how a Microsoft CD-Rom led the author to Paganism. In addition, Teo Bishop takes a closer look at Pagan leaders and teachers, Peg Aloi covers the “Satanic” mutilation of horses, and Luna Pantera thinks it is time for all of us to start working with our ancestors.

• A new film, The Sisterhood of Night, aims to tell the Salem witch-trials story in a modern context. Quote: “We’ve heard this story before: The Salem Witch Trials.  All based on suspicion, jealousy, heresy, and accusation. But in our modernized version, gossip surrounding The Sisterhood of Night is circulated by immediate forms of communication, namely the internet and cellular phones. All-too revealing Facebook pages,  low-resolution cell phone photos, and anonymous chat room babble add to the hysteria: Are the girls doing the unspeakable in the dead of night?”
• The territory of Gibraltar has arrested a gang of drug smugglers who allegedly consulted with two Santeras (“witches”) to help them make decisions about their operation. Quote: “The gang relied on in-house Santeria “witches” to advise on whether drug runs would succeed or not. Sometimes smuggling operations were aborted at the last minute on the word of the witches, with huge economic loss to the gang.”
• The Eastern Band of the Cherokee Nation demanded an apology from the leaders of Franklin, North Carolina after they applied weed-killer on the Nikwasi Indian Mound, listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Principal Chief Michell Hicks called the action disrespectful, saying they were never consulted, but the town doesn’t think they have anything to apologize for. Quote Alderman Sissy Pattillo: “I have a problem with the chief or whoever saying we did something disrespectful. That just bothers me.” Yes, acting like other people’s belief systems matter can be a nuisance. Shades of the San Francisco Peaks struggle in Arizona?
• Gary Wills at the New York Review of Books looks at the myth of marriage, noting that Christianity didn’t have anything special to say about the matter until the 13th century, and that the institution was a civil arrangement in Roman times. Quote: “Before the eleventh century there was no such thing as a Christian wedding ceremony in the Latin church, and throughout the Middle Ages there was no single church ritual for solemnizing marriage between Christians.” For more on civil unions and Pagan marriages, check out this essay in the OB Rag.
• Deenps Bazile, a practitioner of Vodou in New York, is upset that a 12-foot totem carved into a fallen tree in Prospect Park suddenly disappeared, noting that “it wasn’t a log anymore, it was a piece of art!” The Parks department is investigating.
• Margaret Anne James, convicted in 2006 of murdering Druid and parish councillor Peter Solheim, has lost an appeal to overturn her conviction. Judges ruled that “there was nothing to suggest James’s conviction was unsafe.”
• Pat Robertson: It’s OK to break your friends demonic Buddha statue.
• Over at Religion DispatchesMary Valle declares Rosemary’s Baby (both novel and film) the true “hot text” (as opposed to The Handmaid’s Tale) that provide’s “even greater insight into a future in which the multi-pronged assault on women’s health care continues.”

That’s it for now! Feel free to discuss any of these links in the comments, some of these I may expand into longer posts as needed.

“The bottom line is that any policy adopted and implemented [...] must ensure that the invocation opportunity is not exploited to proselytize any particular faith or disparage any others, or show any preference of the Council for a specific faith or religious denomination. It is our belief that the Policy we have carefully drafted meets these criteria and would pass court muster if challenged. [...] No invocations policy has a chance to be upheld by a reviewing court today unless it offers equal opportunity to at least the broad array of monotheistic faiths and denominations with a presence in that particular geographic area.  One conclusion from the case law is clear: if a public body allows any prayers, it is required to allow for most all prayers, without unlawful discrimination against any.”

The document goes on to assert that no “extraordinary efforts to include particular minority faiths” were necessary, and “no apology is necessary for the demographics of the community that the public body serves.” In other words, in their opinion, a predominately Christian town doesn’t have go out of its way to include Wiccans, Hindus, or Buddhists. This policy blueprint was partially constructed around two 4th Circuit cases involving public prayers and modern Pagans: Simpson v. Chesterfield County, the case that helped create the so-called “Wiccan-proof” invocation policy, and the Darla Wynne case, in which a Wiccan from South Carolina won a battle against sectarian government prayer. The idea was that if local governments threaded the needle of this issue carefully, they could have their cake (opening prayers), and eat it too (mainly Christian-only prayer).

Cynthia Simpson and Darla Wynne

For awhile, this tactic of de facto tokenism seemed to be working well. Towns like Greece, New York and Lancaster, California won lower-court challenges by including a smattering of minority religions in sectarian prayers (aka the “include a Wiccan gambit”), with the majority of prayers being Christian ones. Then a setback for sectarian prayers to Jesus emerged in the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals, who ruled that simply saying you’re inclusive while showcasing predominantly sectarian Christian prayer is not acceptable.

The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals today ruled 2-1 that the Forsyth County Board of Commissioners’ preference for Christian prayers violates the constitutional separation of church and state. [...] The record in the case indicates that 26 of the 33 invocations given from May 29, 2007, until Dec. 15, 2008, contained at least one reference to Jesus, Jesus Christ, Christ, Savior or the Trinity. The appellate court majority said government favoritism in religion is wrong. “Faith is as deeply important as it is deeply personal,” wrote Judge J. Harvey Wilkinson, “and the government should not appear to suggest that some faiths have it wrong and others got it right.”

This ruling withstood appeal when the Supreme Court of the United States denied certiorari (judicial review), prompting the ADF to complain that “the standard for prayer policies in the 4th Circuit will be different from the standard held by the rest of the country.” Now, it seems like the 4th Circuit has just been joined by the 2nd Circuit, who ruled on Thursday that invocations given before the town of Greece, New York (one of the early winners in the “include a Wiccan” gambit) should have been more inclusive, and the town should have gone to greater lengths to ensure religious diversity.

“…the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit ruled the town of Greece, a suburb of Rochester, should have made a greater effort to invite people from other faiths to open monthly meetings. [...] The court found that religious institutions in the town of just under 100,000 people are primarily Christian, and even Galloway and Stephens testified they knew of no non-Christian places of worship there. [...] “The town’s process for selecting prayer-givers virtually ensured a Christian viewpoint,” it ruled.” The court acknowledges there was no formal policy on who should be invited to deliver invocations, and that the town was open to people of all faiths speaking at meetings. But it also noted the town board didn’t publicize the idea that anybody could volunteer to deliver prayers…”

The decision went on to note that a town’s religious community cannot be defined by a list of churches or religious organizations, since a town is a community of “individual residents” who each have may have unique beliefs and philosophies.

“The town fails to recognize that its residents may hold religious beliefs that are not represented by a place of worship within the town. Such residents may be members of congregations in nearby towns or, indeed, may not be affiliated with any congregation. The town is not a community of religious institutions, but of individual residents, and, at the least, it must serve those residents without favor or disfavor to any creed or belief.”

The ADF, who were defending the town of Greece, has already vowed to appeal this ruling, saying that towns will have to “complete an obstacle course” in order to have opening prayers at government meeting. If this decision holds, as the 4th Circuit’s did, it could help establish a new standard for government prayer, one that demands strong pluralism if a body is going to allow sectarian invocations. It remains to be seen how long the Supreme Court will punt on this issue by denying judicial review. Eventually, they will have to make a stand on these policies, just as it recently took a stand on the question of “ministerial exception.” However, for now, Pagans and other members of minority religions have a new precedent to use in demanding equal treatment in regards to public prayer. No doubt several towns and cities who fall under the jurisdiction of the 2nd and 4th Circuit Courts are currently talking with their lawyers over their prayer policies, and whether they need to include far more Wiccans (and Buddhists, Hindus, Musilms, Jews, etc) than previously imagined.

Hilmar Örn Hilmarsson and members of Ásatrúarfélagið.

“The donation is for the Coast Guard’s helicopter fund. All of the Coast Guard’s vessels and aircraft bear the names of Norse gods and goddesses. Yesterday’s ceremony took place onboard the Coast Guard’s new cruiser Þór, Fréttablaðið reports. The Coast Guard’s first cruiser was the steam vessel Óðinn, which arrived to the country in 1926. A statement from Ásatrúarfélagið reads that the Icelandic Coast Guard is in charge of surveillance, search and rescue, has contributed to the safety of seafarers and protected the nation’s natural resources under difficult circumstances for decades, for which it is trusted and respected by all Icelanders. Therefore, all members of Ásatrúarfélagið decided to make a donation of ISK 1,000 (USD 7.9, EUR 6.1) towards a helicopter fund for the Coast Guard, with no strings attached.”

This civic-minded move fits very well within the profile of Ásatrúarfélagið and its Chief Godi, who has undertaken protective rituals for their country, celebrated the spirits of their land, and even weighed in on pop-culture. Iceland is fertile ground for Asatru, a place that never quite lost the connection to its pagan past.

For more on Ásatrúarfélagið and Asatru in Iceland, check out the Norse Mythology Blog’s interviews with Hilmar Örn Hilmarsson (Part One, Part Two, Part Three) and Jóhanna G. Harðardóttir (Part One, Part Two, Part Three, Part Four). Both, I think, give a good picture of how Asatru in Iceland compares with groups in the United States and other countries.

“The gods had to come back. You can see how the gods are coming in the 19th century. We had some years of rationalism – the Industrial Revolution, people losing their ties with nature and repressing religion and focusing on science and knowledge. You had the president of the French scientific academy proclaiming that we’ve more or less found out everything that there is to be found out – we only need to polish some theories. In an atmosphere like this, the gods need to come back, because they’ve been repressing them so long. Ha!” - Hilmar Örn Hilmarsson

Congratulations to Ásatrúarfélagið on forty years of existence, here’s to forty more!
