Belated Samhuinn Blessings everyone, thanks for waiting! Just a note, too – I’ve noticed that the online version of SerpentStar (ie the one that opens in a new browser page when you click on the cover image) provides an image quality that is not as good as the standalone pdf. If you’d like to see SerpentStar in the better quality version, click the download button in the top right-hand corner of the open magazine to save it to your computer, then open it there. Much prettier! 🙂

Here for your enjoyment is the Samhuinn 2017 edition of SerpentStar. /|\

Hiya All

By now subscribers should have received an email from me announcing SerpentStar’s move from our old home on the main WordPress site to here at Druidry Australia. This is the second post/email to test the mailout function – if you’re an existing subscriber and have received this message via email you’re all set up for the next edition 🙂

If you’re not yet a subscriber to SerpentStar and are here for the first time, welcome! Please enter your email address in the box on this page to receive quarterly notification of new editions of SerpentStar. The next one will be uploaded here for Samhuinn on 1 May.

Blessings

New Year Survey

12 Tuesday Jan 2016

Posted by mandybard in Uncategorized

≈ Leave a comment

Hi All

As it’s a new calendar year I thought it might be useful to ask for some feedback on how you feel SerpentStar is developing, and what you’d like to see in your newsletter in the future. So I’ve set up a short online survey – it takes only 10 minutes to complete, and collects no personal data so your comments will be completely anonymous.

If you’d like to be part of the survey, please click on the link (or copy into your browser): https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/NK2GMBN

If you have any questions about the survey, please feel free to contact me.

Blessings

SerpentStar Lughnasadh 2010

(Original uploaded file lost, restored by Elkie White who writes “This one could be called ‘the Pan edition’: the front page features a delightful picture of the Great God and there’s an extensive article on Pan within. But there’s much more in this edition than that: Julie Mill’s article on Developing a Localised Wheel of the Year initiates a critical aspect of druidry: knowing your locale. There’s another colourful centre-piece, this time about Lughnasadh. From Wyverne also is a poem title Galahs, a commentary on an old ballad, and a Maui tale adapted from Myths of the Pacific.”

Here’s the latest SerpentStar, the 2009 Beltane issue. It’s bursting its seams with good reading for you all.

SerpentStar Beltane 2009

May your Beltane be truly blessed!

In the peace of the Grove

wyverne /|\

(Original uploaded file lost, restored by Elkie White, who writes “Serpentstar has grown in size and switched from the Equinoxes & Solstices to the 4 Fire Festivals since the last one I scanned. This magazine-like edition was edited by Wyverne. Following the success of Southern Echoes, she makes a call for an Anthology and CD of SH Bardry. Billy Dean has launched a film in response to the end date of the Mayan calendar on December 21 2012, and called it This Sacred Earth. Another exciting announcement is Damh the Bard’s inaugural visit to Australia. The ‘firsts’ continue with C. S. Mac Cath writing about the first International Celtic Gathering in Canada. The Melbourne Grove will host its first assembly in April and the program details have been included. Julie Mills writes about the triad of ancestors: those of bloodline, those of our tradition, and those of the land, and offers a verse from her personal inspiration. Wyverne offers her thoughts on Beltane in a stunningly colourful centre-page. She follows this with an article titled Greeting the New Gods and includes her translation of Amergin’s Poem. Further poems are by Mandagora – A Woman Divine, and Spear of Destiny – and Vyvyan Ogma Wyverne – The Red Wattle Bird.  There’s an old ballad called Dee-Side Cattle Raid and you can hear the melody to it at an internet site set up by Wyverne. An original crossword puzzle by Wyverne is on page 3 with answers on page 18. The Kids Page is divided into activities for Junior Bards, Young Ovates, and Budding Druids.”)

At last! SerpentStar’s own blog.
