Basically we had two parts of the divination – we think it had to do with our attempts to both form a group and open that group up to more seership practices.

Basically, we came hesitantly with some skills, but nothing defined and nothing exceptional. We then advocated for ourselves to the Gods via offerings and requests – the handicraft of craftsman, the fairest of the ancients, the marrow of coal – to us represented the spark of something good – the inner sparking the outer and coming to formation.

The chant came from a much longer poem about Manannan:

Brunditt scotha sruaim do mil
a crich Manannain mac Lir

Flowers pour forth a stream of honey
in the land of Manannan mac Lir

The leader said the lines first in Gaelic and we all repeated “Manannan mac Lir”. We chanted it several times.

Can you post here in a comment what the new chant was. It think it would be nice to remember what words evoked such a response from Manannan.

Thank-you for shifting. She is not necessarily “my” goddess – but a very localized one. I suppose I am interested in what you and others think of the river Goddess
