celtic Archives — the creative minimalist

meh at least there's coffee I began so well. The ritual. The cross of ashes. The desire to stop. The desire to deepen that spiritual relationship. The knowledge that I can be a better person. The intention of being that person. The journey didn’t last long. A couple of days, a day, hours… less?

Then again, isn’t that the way this ought to be? A journey. A journey with false paths. A journey with stumbling blocks, crevices and the occasional rock fall.

One reason (excuse?) is an illness. A virus came and walked alongside me for a while. We were obviously close friends. We shared everything. For an introvert, friendship – close friendship and intimate sharing – can be exhausting. I’m still in recovery. The virus has moved on to others, virus is so fickle.

I had planned good things for February. The plans, like my Lenten walk, have gone off track. They are there. Milling around in the woods, in the darker places. I’ll get a light and go find them. The woods are full of birch trees.

Beth / Birch Celtic oracle card

The Celtic ‘Beth’ represents a sweeping away, a purification. It’s also about determination and patience. Beth a metaphor for the metaphor that is Lent. It seems the woods are the place to go. To find my plans. To find my path.

Lent leads to Easter
February into Spring
Lull into life.

There is a new Celtic Style Sticker Set coming very soon at pLAnarchy. Large and small rectangles and a collection of round stickers make up this set. Inspired by the ‘old people and their ways’; a little Irish, Welsh and Cornish help with your planning needs.

I found out that family, on my Grand Father’s side, hail from Cornwall. So I am harbouring thoughts that I have a little ancient Celt in my lineage. Records only go back so far, but as far as they do, I am at least a little Cornish. That will do for me and might explain a little hard-wired connection to all things Celtic, their spirituality and why I personally love these stickers.

Sign-up for my (ir)regular newsletter and you’ll be the first to know when these and other stickers, planners and any varied creative projects go live. And, there may just be the odd special offer that only subscribers can get their hands on.

In the meantime, I have to use one of the previous pLAnarchy stickers and clear my head of a few things. Get stuff out of your head and you’ll find it much easier to take back a little control. I need a little more control, even if having complete control doesn’t really exist. I’m still looking for the perfect planner set-up too, even if perfection doesn’t really exist. However, the fun is often found in the journey.
