Status Updates From The Twelve Wild Swans: A Jo...

I enjoyed the section on trances. It’s nice to get fresh inspiration for things to try.

Perhaps I could have phrased that last update better. It’s comforting to know that the work I’ve been doing for the last 10 years and the conclusions I have arrived at are shared with others. I value that I came by them my own way, under my own steam. I see a lot of the group work here that I haven’t done, I don’t know if I feel comfortable doing it. Trust is very hard for me and this is asking for a lot.

Again more stuff I already do day to day. I can’t tell if I’m smug that I’m on the right track or kinda disappointed that I’m not getting more out of this. It’s a bit jumbled and repetitive, I liked the segment on money, that really rings true to me.

It’s not with ill intent, but it’s clear the author/s haven’t read an inclusive language guide, frustrating!

I guess it was published in 2001, such a thing probably didn’t exist. Hmm. Update needed!

Aside from that it’s interesting that most of the ideas here I’m already familiar with from other “secular” sources (therapy lol). I always find that crossover interesting.

Getting annoyed with the way this is written. If assurances weren’t made that Reclaiming is inclusive of all genders, I would be less frustrated. There’s a difference between being welcoming in theory and making an effort towards truly inclusive change. None of the work is being done to actively breakdown and re-evaluate binary notions of gender here. “You may assume all genders are included” gee thanks!

The discussion group on this book has fizzled out a bit and having found myself on a Druid path, this is just not where my current spirituality/religion reading interest is most focused right now. I have no doubt I'll return to this book at a later date as I've gotten a lot out of what I've read so far.

I am definitely going to enjoy working through this with a little group. We have chosen to work through the Earth Path first, then Inner, then Outer, so are not reading cover-to-cover.
