Hooray! Thanks for the shoutout. I love your story about the plastic tree -- I was NOT that smart as a child, so the fact I've done Druid practices for about 7 years (discursive meditation, Sphere of Protection, daily divination) indicates there could be hope for me yet... I was an atheist 7 years ago! Not so much these days... hail the toilet gods. Your explanation of how you got into Druidry very much rings a bell with me. My story is not that different, except instead of tinkering, I tickled ivories as a piano teacher. I have always admired people who can take stuff apart and then fix it because they know how it works. My husband does that.
I have noticed that I have become far more minimalist and generally more hygienic/neat as my Druid practices roll on. I now make my bed every day and that was not a daily habit before Druidry.
I also don't leave dishes in the sink, I get up earlier in the morning, and I tend to sweep the floor much more frequently. Have you noticed anything similar?
Again, thanks for this. May your toilet sparkle and bring you good fortune.
Oh yeah I've definitely noticed all of the above, although there's still a lot of room for improvement. Speaking of which, something you might find interesting happened to me lately. I lost my headphones right about the same time Tucker Carlson got cancelled, and my daily ritual of doing little projects while listening to podcasts was interrupted. Of course life won't wait, so I had to continue cleaning and fixing things without them. This turned out to be a wonderful opportunity to unpack thoughts and gain insight, and the good results I was getting reminded me of some advice I was given to practice performing a daily chore with my full love and attention. It would seem your experiment showed up right on time.
