About*****Please note, if you apply and you are not on ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
saigh_allaidh's flist, then you must write me (you can message me through my profile) and let me know who you are and why you are interested. If you do this you MIGHT get in. Maybe. If you do not do this you will NOT get in. Period.*****
******Seriously, you are not getting in if I do not know you. You're just not. I don't care how fucking pretentious your fucking profile is. Just bugger off if you can't be bothered to follow the rules.***********
****All entries are members-only, if you just "watch" this community, you are going to look rather silly.*******
This is a space to discuss practices inspired by groups such as the Fianna of Ireland, Outlaw warrior poets, youth warrior bands and those of the wilderness who are not quite fit for society in many ways. It will deal a lot with women warrior and queer warriors, but is open to straight men who want to explore something beyond the macho stereotypes of warrior. It is very much about spirituality and the mystic concepts will be a part of discussion, BUT the physical warrior stuff is VERY much about physical warriorship. This is not about "energy watching" in circle...although some might do that too...but will involve fun stuff like martial arts, fitness training and mad runs through forest or city streets.
We will discuss how we can work on training in a world that doesn't tend to offer us bands. such as we are inspired by, to join. How we go about working on all aspects of the path: fighting, fitness, poetry, ecstatic states, weapons, mediation, wilderness and urban survival, language, mythology, history, emergency medical care, ....
Recommended, but not require, reading includes:
Wisdom of the Outlaw: The Boyhood Deeds of Finn in Gaelic Narrative Tradition by Joseph Falaky Nagy
Lady with a Mead Cup: Ritual, Prophecy and Lordship in the European Warband from La Tène to the Viking Age by Michael J. Enright
As both books are pricey, if you have a good Inter-Library Loan system available (some of us in the sticks have failed miserably at this) it may be your best option.
