I have been a Druid for about 6 years now, I too was brought up with harsh Christian "values". I learned from the great Goddess Mother Earth that my life is mine and she is full of love and guidance. I am so proud of you Collette, you are a Divine Representation of the Goddess!! Love and light be with you always. :)

Colette thank you for sharing your journey with us. I too felt like I had fallen away from Catholicism. I searched deep in my heart to find that the divine is everywhere, including myself. I stopped with the guilt and shame I had collected over the years (that catholic guilt goes deep) and built myself back up. Being pagan means, for me, that I can take power into my own hands to make this life beautiful. All while finding beauty in literature, science, and learning about aspects of other religions that bring me joy and peace. It's been liberating, so humbling, and a real privilege to have tapped into the divine feminine.

I look forward each day to the next moments in your journey and reflect on mine as you walk and talk. I too as a child found solace in sitting in church in a little country town. Most Sundays I took myself there. As I got older it became the basis for my life of discovery of Spirit and all that is. Our journey here on this beautiful planet is one of continual growth along with Earth herself. We too are having storms and so far over a week of almost continual rain. Mother Earth will balance and protect herself I have no doubt. I do love her so. We are in Spring and I look out my window at a rainforest tree in bloom. The tree is covered in green leaves but every so often offers up the brightest of red leaf which says 'look at me'. I wish I could show you. I walk upon her softly and am grateful for all she gives me in return. I love to see the reflection of you in the mirror...it makes saying hello all that more real. Blessings your way Colette.

I am a newcomer to your channel Colette and all I can say is thankyou. You are speaking to my soul, I find myself agreeing and nodding as you speak. At 52 and at the end of the madness that is menopause I find myself a totally different person than I was before. I come from a religious family, my uncle was a priest up until his passing last year and I was raised in church. I found myself questioning more and more why everything was so "masculine" when the planet obviously was not. As a child I was severely reprimanded for asking "but what about the goddess?" at Sunday school. It made sense to me that everything is in balance and you can't have one without the other... not something my Sunday school teachers appreciated apparently. I've always been spiritual but never found my niche, at last I think I'm here. I could write so much more but this is a 2 year old video and your time is in great demand. Thankyou Colette, Jack is wonderful too xXx

I used to smoke, but stopped, im vegeterian,i dont believe in coicidences,i worried that changing from christianity to Paganism would have a bad effect on my life & i would be damned,lol, i cant belive i was so stupid. I have never been so happy , since i became a Pagan a few years ago i feel i can see the good in people , & i have been able to open my heart much more . I also love beautiful Mother Earth , walking in Nature, being a volunteer , the ancient woodlands,trees, bird song, ect. I just love everything that Mother Earth has created.

Ive been living as a Gaelic Pagen since I've been 15. Despite my Catholic upbringing here in Cork, I always felt curious about living happy and acknowledging what my acestors believed. They were closer to the next life and I truley believe that. Year later I live a much more simplified life. I don't have a television, I don’t watch or keep up with news unless its information that is essential to my life and surroundings. I work and when I get home I always stay outside in hail, rain or snow and feel my surroundings. I acknowledge all the Irish Pagen Gods at the beginning of every season with a day of learning and reading about each one and how they can teach me how to be a better person to everything around me. Thank you for sharing your little bit of paradise with us.

Beautifully put Colette. I stopped going to church just over 2 yrs ago and you're right, it's difficult to let all that go because it does become deeply embedded. I have respect for my friends who continue on that path but I am on a new one now. I do feel freer and feel like the best is yet to come. Here's to freedom and beauty and individuality...Here's to life and energy....Here's to love and compassion. May we all know these things on our life's journey ❤

I bought a portion of land, a small farm in the south of my country Chile, that it's so similar to Ireland. And I'm going to live there within 5 years. I want to prepare there a sacred place to the Goddess, near the nature, listening to the wind, the trees, the river. I'm so happy for you, it's a beautiful place. Sorry for my English

I recently found your channel and believe that it was not a coincidence :-). I have been going through a big transformation in my life within the past several years, removing all the layers of conditioning and learning to let go. I quit smoking, rarely drink alcohol, and am working towards becoming a vegan (not 100% there yet). I've become obsessed with studying herbs and plants, and a strong desire to buy land and 'just plant' as you have phrased it in another video. But not just to plant, but to protect. Since I was a child, I always felt something very important was missing from church (and my mom felt the same way). It was Mother Nature. She is not missing from my life anymore, and I am at peace and finally moving forward on my spiritual path. Thank you for all your videos and sharing your story. You are truly an inspiration. Many blessings to you.

Ooh. I would love to have one of those oak leaves. They are really special. You look mah-valous Colette. I think one of the main reasons why I follow you is because of your beliefs and how you approach Mother Nature and also the lure of Celtic ancestral beliefs. My Grandfather came from an Irish family and my Nan was originally from the Ulster Scotts in Ireland and then to Scotland. You, your words and deeds remind me of my Nan and home.

I am so grateful to have found your videos at a time in my life that not much in the world makes sense or even matters to me anymore. Thank you Colette for showing me that another world is entirely possible and helping me to see a glimpse of my ancestors' connection with the Earth from long long ago. A few generations back they were flax farmers in Ireland before emigrating to Canada through England as I have recently discovered.

They have bringing me gifts and letting plants suddenly aper that I was thinking of be added to my garden. So I pay attention to feelings because that's the way they communicate and if I don't listen. They send a messenger often it's an 🦋🐝.

Your cottage and gardens are beautiful Colette. Jack is just like my Springer spaniel snoopy who also likes his squeaky toys. His favourite game at the moment is fetch with a light up ball! Your little cat on the sofa reminded me of my little black cat called velvet who died last Feb. 22 years of age. My eldest brother Chris died last year also from liver cancer. I'm finding my garden to be a very healing place too. Nature nurtures us gently and tenderly until we feel whole.

I really need, have longed for my own "Bealtaine." I know, have no doubt how finally at home I would be. I too love Mother Earth- have from my very early childhood. I listened to, observed her- lived by her clock :with the sun rising and setting, and the changing of the seasons. The only thing stopping me is -money. In the states it would be hundreds of thousands. So costly😢

i know this is 5 years ago now but. I came across this video randomly, it played after a video I selected. And I just let it. Because everything I saw, heard, listened to felt like home. And I mean an old, old, home. like something I cannot explain but my ancestors may. The wind chimes, the decorations in the trees, the happy dog, the windy and stormy weather. All reminded me of being a little girl growing up at my own grandmas. then you mentioned a calling to Ireland. Im from the US, so I don't know my right to say so, but I feel that way. i grew up surrounded by books on Ireland, being told about Irish gods or goddesses, feeling so in tune with nature.grandma always taught me to appreciate nature and take care of the animals. nature is us. love love love your home

It's amazing how certain individuals are drawn to the old ancient ways. I live in America. We had a housing boom in my area that's never stopped. It grieves me to drive by and see random, cloned cheep homes going up. Built with no concern of the animals. The deer especially are being pushed to the limit. This peace and solace found in nature I couldn't match with any religion. It was freeing, loving,welcoming. During this current virus made me long for the out doors. After many many conversations with my husband we both spoke the words,the declaration "We Are more Pagan then Christian" .....Yes we are.

Wow! This is my story, too. ❤ I'm chomping at the bit to get to my land and be one with nature. I'm having such a difficult time with Time itself. Patience is a virtue until you're compelled to execute your calling. Some people just don't understand that. ❤ At some point, the coincidences become too overwhelming and cross the line into signs. It's strange, too, that my eating habits have changed. I quit all alcohol. I also know that I'll quit smoking when I'm living on my land and in my cottage in Missouri. Out of the blue, I'm making tinctures and elixirs, and studying healing herbs. Who am I?? I can't answer that yet, but I really like who I'm becoming. Soon I will love and appreciate who I am and my intimate connection with nature. I'm from upstate NY and will be leaving my family behind when I move. Perhaps that's why Time is holding me back; to learn to let them go without guilt.

This is quite possibly the most emotional I’ve been at a RU-vid video. Whilst I wasn’t born in Ireland, my grandparents (both sides) are from Ireland, 3 are from the north and 1 from the republic. I am drawn to start my path in Irish paganism and really understand the folklore of my ancestry. I just know that I’ll end up there with my own little plot land, cottage and trees. I’ve just realised there’s others like me….

Blessings to you, Colette. I used to be a heavy smoker too but a few years ago I had a respiratory emergency which landed me in the Emergency and then the ICU! But quitting smoking came naturally and I feel extremely uncomfortable about killing animals for food. I'm a Hindu which is a way of life that respects all life forms (a part of the Creator being present in all Creation) and I believe that living with Mother Earth is literally the earthing that we need to calm down our electric minds! Thank you for your videos and keep inspiring!

You used to preserve berries by making wine, how do you use some of your berries now? Just for the birds, or do you make some marmalade? You have so many, so obviously you can’t use it all. I relate to the Catholic guilt. It’s a really hard feeling to realize that your faith is no longer helping, but hurting. I became an atheist really at 10. I found great joy in nature. I’d hide out in the woods, climbing trees, listening to the birds. Nature was often a much needed refuge from a difficult home life. There is so much wonder in nature that I always feel I can be cheered up by even the lowliest plant growing out of the gutter. I know when we’re gone the world will go on. That comforts me. But until then I’ll also continue to plant and tend my tiny garden.

The descendants of the Irish people are all over the earth, more dispersed than any European people other than the Basques. The cultural institutions they created were all Catholic. I haven't felt connected to that religion for 45 years. I grew up in Chicago, then moved to Florida, and then back many years later. When I came back, the Old St. Pat's school had been torn down. I couldn't believe it. I kept going there and walking by where so many of my family had attended school. The church is still there, having survived the great fire in 1871, but I've never gone inside. I consider myself Buddhist, and sometimes go to a meditation center. I believe in being good and doing good.

"You must live your own journey." Excellent advice. Many never take the time to reflect what their individual journey might be. We probably all need to slow down and reflect. Being in nature, walking, even sitting in a meadow calms and expand the mind, and puts us in touch with our inner selves, and can shine a light on the path we were meant to take.

I love everything you said. . . I believe we have a Divine Father and Mother God - the combination of Divine Masculine and Divine Feminine that create ONE perfectly balanced God. Every day I love The Goddess more and more; I am developing a greater relationship with the trees, flowers, vegetation and elementals. I am coming to understand that they are my family; we ARE nature, we ARE part of The Goddess. I consider myself an emissary of her love, kindness and compassion. Thank you Colette for your commitment to the land and The Goddess. You are so special! I am learning a lot from you and Terri! Blessed Be Sister!

Your take on feelings being inexplicable really resonates and also validates something which I beat myself up about for decades which I could not explain then but can now! Will stop the beating 😊🙏

I’m so glad I found your channel. I love this video as I too am newly pagan and love all things natural and believe in God and Goddess. All things equal. I too am 1/2 Irish and play Celtic harp. Christianity has not filled my heart but made me a hypocrite. I love love your path and wish I could do this myself. I miss the greenery as I live in a desert and all things are dry. I’ve always been drawn to the Irish side as I’m also British. Born in California. I love your thoughts and you are soo right. To me religion is a way to control the masses. So now I’m on my own path. Thank you for a great video. I subscribed to your channel. I play Celtic harp on my other channel Laurie’s Harp and Drum if you like to hear me play.

As I am watching and listening to this video I find my self nodding and agreeing with all you are conveying Colette I too in recent years have gone thru life changing circumstances and when things as this come about you go into almost an internal understanding and you start knowing and sitting still with your inner self,you start to become calm and realize things like never before, in a good way Just saying I am really enjoying your videos and am in total understanding of what you are saying Also enjoying the beautiful serenity of your property Many blessings have a great day Colette and Jack 😀

I've recently been feeling like limiting my time on Facebook as well. I primarily have kept it so that I can keep in touch with relatives and because I've joined a myriad of pagan groups that I used to love partaking in. However, lately I've felt that these groups are no longer inspiring to me as they have become quite cluttered with a lot of personal issues by its members and have become less about learning the pagan journey/path. You inspire me to find a new way to keep that spark going by attempting to find a different avenue that is devoid of all that noise. I love your channel, I can't express that enough.

Your voice is beautiful telling such a wonderful truth of your thoughts and beliefs about our purpose on Earth. I love what you have done, and being compelled to do this with Mother Earth is surely a Sign Of The Times. It's is telling us to wake up! That it is TIME. I agree completely with your thoughts, ideas and beliefs of REAL love and beauty in Nature. I believe you are definitely on the right path of and for peace, joy compassion and Harmony in the changing Times we're experiencing and living in. It is a brave journey you have chosen. Mother Earth is very happy with your hearts intentions and continuous striving to make this Planet and Bealtaine Cottage so priceless and pure!

Thank you Sheila...we have been brainwashed to believe such nonsense about our existence...all in the relentless domination of us and Her. To see the truth is a liberation and is truly life-changing! Blessings to you XXX
