    Hi there.
    I've always felt connected to celtic energy but lately I've felt a very strong urge to do more about it. I feel in especially drawn to the goddess Danú. Is there things I can do in my daily life to strengthen this energy. Hope that mad sense and is in the right section.
    Thanks for any advice.

    As a Hellenic Pagan, I personally always meditate to become closer to the Gods. Meditating around something that reminds you of this spirituality could work for you.

    Usually I also do something that falls under their remit, such as dedicating study to Athena or physical training to Ares or Apollo. I don't see why that couldn't be incorporated. Danu is a mother Goddess associated usually with land and water, so even actively recycling could be considered showing her favour.

    I'd also strongly recommend wearing a symbol like a triskele, triquatra, Celtic knot, anything that you associate with this spirituality. I find it makes me feel much closer to my beliefs to wear a pendant with an Omega painted on it. It mightn't be everyone's taste, but very time I see my own it reminds me of who and what I am. On the plus side, you wouldn't have to make your own :D

    If you have any parks,fields,lakes,nature of any sort around your location,go for a walk,find a nice quite spot,sit down preferably against a tree and(IF IT'S SAFE TO DO SO),close your eye's and listen,take in every noise,feel the breeze on your skin,you'll know inside yourself when you've made a connection to the earth,find an appropriate image,that puts you in mind of the mother,light a candle or an incence cone/stick,leave an offering,a flower for instance,become acquainted ,you should start to feel a definate connection.:)

    Go visit the paps of Anu in Kerry. If Danu is a deity (Its worth reading up on that) the closest thing to her will be there.
