Reminder: The number 3 is sacred and should always be honored in magick and everyday life.
In the Woodland Tradition we honor the path of the ancestors by embracing that which can aid us in our modern lives and keep us connected to the divine. We also share a deep connection the Great Mother (Danu, Earth, Gaia). She is seen as a constant, to be honored at every ritual, spell and celebration.
