Suggested Blog Topics

We briefly discussed the idea of posting a weekly blog topic on the Neo-Druidry Blogging thread, so in the spirit of that discussion, does anyone have a topic they'd like to suggest?

We briefly discussed the idea of posting a weekly blog topic on the Neo-Druidry Blogging thread, so in the spirit of that discussion, does anyone have a topic they'd like to suggest?

Some ideas for topics, maybe:
- "A Day in a Druid's Life" - What do you do as regular spiritual practice?
- What deities, if any, do you work with and why?
- Share your altars!
- There are a bunch of different lists of "moon names" for the new/full moon of each month that could maybe be sparks for creative/free-associative writing.

Just some off the top of my head, hope they're all right.

Ali,

Since you suggested these, would you mind starting these threads? They look like great topics.

Again, misread the post. Duh, need sleep.

These sound like great topics. I love the first one, especially so.

Oh my gosh! I just came across this (apparently rather old) "30 Days of Paganism" meme and spent the last half hour or so tweaking it into a list that might fit with my Druidry that I could use for journaling during the month of August.... and then remembered about this thread here and the idea of having a blog prompt. So I thought I'd share my list of topics, in case anyone's interested in using them. The basic idea of the meme is to one topic each day and write a bit about what the role of that topic is in your spiritual path or tradition (or any other related thoughts you have in connection with the topic).

I probably won't be starting these until August comes around, but I thought they might make a really good list for blog post ideas.

Oooh. *steals*

Thanks for this. I've never seen this before either, so at least you're not the only person on the Internets who's never seen the meme.

Well, I have Google+ to thank! Their "Sparks" feature is about a year out of date when it comes to Paganism, so the only things that popped up were from summer/fall 2010... when apparently this meme was circulating. But I tweaked it quite a bit and rearranged some things and grouped them differently, so it's hardly recognizable now, anyway.
