Hi, I'm somewhat new to the subject, although I've always come across and been interested in anything related to the pagan belief systems. I've left Christian faith as a teenager and in general have been very happy since then, but especially in recent years, I've felt this longing inside me to connect more with the nature surrounding me. I've always had a faible for Paganism because I felt their rites were/are far more connected to Nature, the seasons etc. than the over-spiritualised and transcendental stuff that makes up Christianity.

Thus, I've been looking for a way to kind of attune myself to Nature more by celebrating the pagan feasts to experience the seasons a bit more intense, as Nature is the only higher power I believe in and want to worship. Running throughout the whole year helps me with this because I experience them in the woods, very close to my body, but recently I've felt like this isn't enough for me.

I've read the FAQ and the wiki and will look into the book recommendations. However, if anyone has tips for a little, private ritual I can conduct on the days of these feasts, I'd be very obliged. Think of it as a little nudge in the right direction that I'm seeking, a starting idea, so to speak. My goals are, like I said, attunement to and honouring of Nature, introspection, balancing mind, body and soul, feeling the passing of the seasons more intensely.

Thank you!
