A Treasury Of Druidic Triads

[Dave TheDruid-3X3]

Awens to All:

Seeing as Imbolc is the Closest Sacred Sabbath to Valentines Day, I decided to make this year’s Imbolc 3X3 Triad Poem to be one that is Flattering to a Member of BC Forums Lady Lush.

Originally started in the 2019 Valentines Forum Thread ‘Flattering Lady Lush’ where I composed 9 Triads composed to Flatter Lady Lush, I decided to compile those Triads into a 3X3 Triad Poem and making them into a future 3X3 Triad Poem. 2022’s Imbolc seems to be the Perfect Sacred Sabbath to post my 3X3 Triad Poem Flattering Lady Lush.

Unfortunately, Lady Lush has not be active on BC Forums since February 2020 so I am also posting this 3X3 Triad Poem in order to convey how I am have been Missing Lady Lush. She disappeared just as the Covid19 Pandemic was starting so I am worried about what has become of her and I am hoping she is doing alright.

Here is my 3X3 Triad Poem on Flattering Lady Lush:

Since the subject of Harm has been brought up fairly often in the past couple of years especially in my BC Forums Pagans Forum, I have decided to make it the Dark Subject for this Year’s Samhain 3X3 Triad Poem.

So Here It Is –

Greetings on this Remembrance Day:

This is my Ode to Blueberry Muffins.

They are so Delicious, Sweet and Nutritious and has a Very Special Memory for me while I was in the Army.

In about 1985, I was on a Military Operation in the Chilliwack Valley during December and we were going about Tactically in the Cold Bushes which were covered with Frost. We were Very Very Cold in that Damp Coldness of the Pacific West Coast Winter.

We did our Exercise Patrols playing being Enemy Force for a group of Officer Candidates who were doing their Tactical Training and after that finally was over, we went back to our Base Camp.

In our Headquarters Tent was a few Bags of Fresh Warm Blueberry Muffins.

After getting back from those Cold Military Maneuver, nothing made us feel better than having Warm Fresh from the Oven Blueberry Muffins!

I have had a Love On for Blueberry Muffins ever since.

So for my Remembrance Day Ode to Blue Berry Muffins, I just Dashed Off this quick 3X3 Triad Poem:
