Pagan Holly

I participated in Global Big Day again this year. I hadn’t birdwatched in too long and the event was good motivation. It snowed on Big Day 2020 and I didn’t see too many birds but this year was a lot more interesting. I submitted three checklists on Big Day itself, plus one the day before and one the day after. Here is my list of species from the whole weekend:

I’ve changed the tagline of this blog every year. I didn’t keep track of past taglines but they were something like “one year of living as Pagan” (2019) and “a second year of Pagan living and learning” (2020). Hopefully they were a bit more catchy than that but that was the idea. At this point I’m 100% certain I will continue to be Pagan. It’s part of who I am. So what to do with the tagline?

I made a concerted effort to have a decent Beltane celebration this year. I wanted to make absolutely sure it was more than just décor and food.

I originally wrote a much longer version of this post, but parts of it are already outdated and it doesn’t seem worth the effort to finish what was probably a pretty boring read anyway. To make a long story short, I haven’t blogged in a while and there are some (I think) very good reasons for that!
