My Experience with OBOD

Hello! A long long time ago in a galaxy far awaaaay... I said that i would have updates about the lessons ive been taking from OBOD, Order of Bards, Ovates, and Druids.

Heres my take.

I think druidry is fascinating. I think i am going to stick to nature/Earth based spirituality because it is something i feel deeply connected to. However, I will not be taking the Ovate or Druid course from OBOD.

I believe they mean well, and some of the lessons are informative, if not just telling me things i already knew.

HOWEVER, there is a big emphasis on spending money. Especially when it comes to buying land or making a pilgrimage to stonehenge or other places thought to have druidic origins.

I feel like OBOD is unfortunately run by people who might never have had to experience poverty or had to worry about making rent. They talk often about changing your fiscal ways and habits to become more attuned to a spiritual or true self.

I by no means, have the money to run out and buy land. Especially not with a seed group of people I hardly know. I do not have the means to fiscally downgrade, there's nowhere for me to cut costs. My husband and i live with room mates and have two teenagers to look after now.

I believe respecting the land I'm currently on and its native people and trying my hardest to be green is good enough. I will continue to honor the land spirits and try to connect to the Earth in my own way.

I think if you have the economic means, that OBOD would be a wonderful group to be apart of. That if you have the time and you feel pulled to Druidry, that OBOD is not the worst group to join. They are open minded, inclusive, and even lean towards feminine divine.

But in the long run, i think i could have learned all of the same things from general research instead.

Thank you to OBOD for teaching me all that you have. It was fun, interesting, and I DID learn new things. The classes are simple, sweet, to the point. The poetry and songs are wonderful. It brings joy knowing there is a druid course that people can look into and learn from.

I just wish it wasn't so heavily monetarily involved and run by so many older white people. I get enough of that from my own government.

Much love, Jess.

I did not think I could love Van Gogh any more and then I discovered this exists.

And he most likely painted it out of pure sarcasm and cynical assholery??

Are you KIDDING ME.

Like "your stupid classes literally bored me to death, allow me to provide an anatomically accurate depiction of exactly what they did to me" it's BEAUTIFUL.

ITS SAMHAIN

That means I can post this art I made that each time I post it I like it less and less again!

Happy Samhain friends and any ancestors that have broken through and learned how to use a computer to read this!

Merry tidings to all!

get yourself a man who will bail you out for 15k, lie to the police about you, and give you an alibi while you help another man kill himself.

Today, for the very first time, the eggs were not supporting characters- they were the main characters of their own story, for an entire stream which we got front row seats for. We got our closest glimpse into what happens in the qsmp universe for the kids “when the cameras are off” through Dapper and Pomme.

We watched them wake up, search for their dad, go on an adventure, visit their tio, make dinner, have fond moments, watch the sunrise, and go to sleep. All focus on them, all aspects of their characterization in the spotlight. They carried the 3 hour long stream with nothing but text on signs, little egg body language, and guitar notes- which I imagine was super challenging, but they killed it.

I am so happy Bad handed the stage to these talented roleplayers to tell their POV of the story while his character is gone, and his “Absence” settles in. I’d been wanting to see something like this for a long time and I feel so satisfied <3

My mental health is not the responsibility of the people around me. I'm not going to fucking pout about lack of closure or whatever.

A bad thing happened and for the rest of my life my body is going to panic and or cry for several minutes at random. Medical intervention over literal Magick is how I deal.

I'm going to put on something unprofessional and eat pizza. Take care everyone.

ONE MONTH FROM NOW! I’m so excited to announce my next theatrical project - and it’s a big one! This work is an original work comprised of scenes from Aeschylus’ Oresteia, as well as poetry and language written by the actors themselves. It is about women - not just now, but in Ancient Greece, and at the dawn of humanity, from the steppes of Mongolia to the streets of DC. It is about their hurt, their rage, their love, and their forgiveness. It is a deeply moving and personal piece, and I have thrown so much of myself into it, as have all of the people involved. It will be unlike anything you’ve ever seen in an Ojai theatre, and we hope to start a trend of more devised theatre being created with social activism as the goal. We go up at the Ojai Women’s Center from March 10-19. I’ll be putting the link to tickets in my bio soon. I hope to see you there!
