Personal meditation is all well and good, but I *br*: really would benefit from having a sense of community.  *br*: (That is one thing that I have learned a lot from my *br*: observations of the Asatru-- they really seem to value a *br*: sense of community as part of their religious/spiritual *br*: experience.  They really take their vows of kinship quite *br*: literally.  This is something I have yet to find in my *br*: experience of Wiccans and Celtic Reconstructionalists).*p*     I think you will find that most *serious* practitioners of Celtic Paganism value community (clann) as a spiritual experience. We are a community here, and we do get together face-to-face when we can to share our hearts and hearths. In the interrim, we gather here for our teachings and learnings and comraderie. :-)*p*     Welcome to our community.*p*Leigh
