The Spirit of the Journey
Druidry influences us in many different ways: how we go about our daily activities, raise our children, and interact with others. It also works with rites of passage for the blessing and naming of children, for marriage, for death, and for other times of initiation, when it is helpful to ritually and symbolically mark our passage from one state to another. Within this forum are subforms in which we discuss the ways Druidry touches our lives.
Subforums: Druid Living, Druid Parenting, Druidry in the Workplace, Sages and Crones, Rites of Passage, In Memoriam, Rainbow Bridge

The Woodland & The Wilderness
Druidry offers a set of practices that help us feel at one again with Nature, our ancestors, our own bodies, and our sense of Spirit, by working with plants, trees, animals, stones, and ancestral stories. Eight seasonal celebrations help us attune to the natural cycle, and help us to structure our lives through the year, and to develop a sense of community with all living beings.

The Circle of Stones
The lineage of the Druid spiritual tradition can be traced across many thousands of years of time.

The Philosophers' Roundhouse
Druidry emphasizes the sacredness of all life, and our part in the great web of creation. It cares passionately about the preservation and protection of the environment, and offers a worldview, which is ecological, geocentric, pragmatic, idealistic, spiritual and romantic. It does not separate Spirit and Matter - it offers a sensuous spirituality that celebrates physical life.
