Quiet Practice: A DeafBlind Druid's Guide To Practice Without Speech

by Max Fisher

"Repeat after me..."



But what if you don't want to? What if you can't? What if I told you that you don't need to speak in order for your ritual to be a success?



Hearing, vision, smell, taste, touch. You can live quite happily without the full set. But what about your magick? Do you truly need all 5 senses to be a good druid? A good pagan? A good practitioner?



Speech is not the only thing the gods pay attention to. Less talking, more magick. But how?



Join Max, the DeafBlind Druid, and take a deep dive through speech and the senses. Go on a journey to figure out what it all means, to us, to our gods, and to our peers.
