This is a different kind of Word of the Day.

Most Word-of-the-Day services offer words that most people have never heard of, in order to build vocabulary. Words like moil or redound or inveigle.

Fine words, no doubt, but they don’t live in people’s hearts.

The Druid Journal Word of the Day offers words you already know — simple words like god and sun and home. Words that are part of the furniture of your mind, the vocabulary of your subconscious, the words in your heart. You’ll read about where they come from and what they mean, just like in a regular word-of-the-day, but you’ll also read about how their sounds contribute to their meaning in subtle ways (phonosemantics), related words, and their place in the universal subconscious.

You won’t just get a word. You’ll get a guided tour of a tiny piece of the human experience.

You can subscribe to this Word of the Day service in a feed reader or via email.
